Ray Stevens - Thank You lyrics

Reporters on TV show protesters in the street Someone burns a flag to show just how they feel I just can't believe my eyes, they spit on the stars and stripes How could anyone feel that way for real And if no one's taken time to tell you lately Here is a message that you should be hearing daily Thank you all the troops in tan and green Navy, Air Force and Marines Thank you for doing what you do For the red white and blue Thank you every time you take up on Is to keep us safe from harms And to keep this country free Thank you War is not the answer, reads a big sign in the yard Of some takers of this free life that we're living Now we all have a choice, right to raise our voice What about those brave hearts, are they given And if no one's taken time to tell them lately Here is a message that they should be hearing daily Thank you, Green Berets, Navy Seals And all you soldiers in the field Thank you, Coast Guard and Reserve You don't get what you deserve Thank you, every time you take up on Is to keep us safe from harms Or to help somebody get free Thank you
