When I was much younger Well I dreamed like thunder I wore my heart like the sleeves on my shirt. I met Mary Wesson At a restaurant in Preston When she waited my table, boys- i fell in love And I was just nineteen When I bought them wedding rings We said our vows at her daddy's church By day I turned hand tools, At night I took trade school For twenty five years I had union scale work And I use to have faith in a Chevrolet Jesus. That American promise as big as the sky- I worked all those years, what I got, I got honest I was red white and blue as the fourth of July. And I still remember That day in November That new born baby was the star in my crown And I named him Carver After my father I took the old man to Jenkins- he bought the whole house a round. And I taught him to stand tall And how to play baseball- That third chapter lesson from the old book of John He had a smile like his mother Was a good man to others I raised him up proud, my American son. And I use to have faith in a Chevrolet Jesus. That American promise as big as the sky- I worked all those years, what I got, I got honest I was red white and blue as the fourth of July. Now I work in this diner Since my job went to China Lost my boy out there somewhere to a Middle East war Well they honored him one day Put his name on a highway Gave a flag to his mama, that I hung by the door. There's political big talk And arm chair Rush Limbaughs There's big oil, and bankers, and corporate lies At the top of that ladder A dead soldier don't matter Now would you like a burger with your freedom fries? And I use to have faith in a Chevrolet Jesus That American promise, as big as the sky- I worked all of those years, what I got, I got honest I was red white and blue as the fourth of July When I was much younger I dreamed like thunder I wore my heart, on the sleeves of my shirt
