Lyrics:

                                                  
Scars and Stripes      (Curry, Miller, Parker, Pelle, Townley)  

(v1)
The sound of 21 guns takes him back to the scorching sun 
Kneeling in blood stained sand waiting for help to come 
Remembers when they both signed up so young
Wide eyed and wishing thinking they could make a difference 
One moment made the difference 
Now he’s in dress blues again
Saying goodbye to his friend
Gone too soon, thinking it should’ve been him   

(Chorus)
Scars and stripes and sacrifice
Freedom always has a price
Comes at a cost, those we’ve lost and to those that we’ve still got
Some wounds of war are buried deep
In a secret place a soldier keeps
Laid to rest but never left behind
Scars and stripes

(v2)
In Sadie’s Diner the other day, when the waitress dropped a plate
Sent a shockwave through him, everybody saw the fear on his face
Left a tip by his coffee cup ,   got up and saw
40 years of veterans honored on the wall,  tipped his cap
All gave some but some gave all

(Repeat Chorus)

(Final Chorus)
Wounds of war are buried deep
In a secret place a soldier keeps
Freedom always has a price
Scars and stripes
