Aaron Watson - Raise your bottle

There's a ^Cmemory that rings clear as a bell I was bouncing like a bull rider on his ^Amknee I sure ^Cmiss those old stories that he'd ^Ftell From a ^Ghobo on a freight train

My ^Cgranny says that I've got his smile He's the ^Amreason I take pride in my last name No he ^Fnever made the headlines

So for ^Gevery unsung hero I'm singing this today

So raise your ^Ambottle to the boys and let's ^Cremember All the ^Amfallen and the price they had to ^Cpay Hold them up ^Dmhigh and salute all the ^Cones that made it back And for the ^Gones away from home, don't forget to ^Fpray

Grand^Cpa could sing you every Hank Williams song But it's ^AmAmazing Grace that ^Cbrought him back ^Amaround He'd ^Fshed a tear talking about the day That ^GGerman gunner shot his best friend down My ^Cdaddy fought a war some say in vain He ^Amcame home in a wheel chair, and he walks with a cane Seems like ^Fevery generation has to pay the cost I ^Gthink about my family

So raise your ^Ambottle to the boys and let's ^Cremember All the ^Amfallen and the price they had to ^Cpay Hold them up ^Dmhigh and salute all the ^Cones that made it back And for the ^Gones away from home, don't forget to ^Fpray

From Norman^Dmdy to Korea, to ^CKhe Sanh, Vietnam Heart^Faches ^Cstreach from coast to coast From Bunker ^DmHill to Fallujah, Gettys^Cburg, to Japan Every^Fone who's ever ^Cserved or lost some^Fone Let's make a ^Gtoast ^{F Em Dm}

So raise your ^Ambottle to the boys and let's ^Cremember All the ^Amfallen and the price they had to ^Cpay Hold them up ^Dmhigh and salute all the ^Cones that made it back And for the ^Gones away from home, don't forget to ^Fpray
