Текст песни Raise Your Bottle - Aaron Watson

There's a memory that rings clear as a bell
I was bouncin' like a bull rider on his knee
I sure miss those old stories that he'd tell
From a hobo on a freight train to a sailor out at sea

My Granny says that I've got his smile
He's the reason I take pride in my last name
Though he never made the headlines, nobody sings his song
So for every unsung hero, I'm singing this today

So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
All the fallen and the price they had to pay
Hold 'em up high and salute
All the ones that made it back, and for the ones away from home
Don't forget to pray

Grandpa could sing you every Hank Williams song
But it's "Amazing Grace" that brought him back around
He'd shed a tear talkin' about the day
That German gunner shot his best friend down

My Daddy fought a war some say in vain
Well, he come home in a wheelchair, he walks with a cane
It seems like every generation has to pay the cost
I think about my family and the good friends that we've lost

So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
All the fallen and the price they had to pay
Hold 'em up high and salute
All the ones that made it back, and for the ones away from home
Don't forget to pray

From Normandy to Korea, to Caisson, Vietnam
Heartaches and headstones stretched from coast to coast
From Bunker Hill to Fallujah, Gettysburg to Japan
Everyone who's ever served or lost someone
Let's make a toast

So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
All the fallen and the price they had to pay
Hold 'em up high and salute
All the ones that made it back, and for the ones away from home
Don't forget to pray

Don't forget to pray
No, don't forget to pray
Don't forget to pray
