Let ’Em Win Or Bring ’Em Home Lyrics

Say a prayer for Bobby
He's somewhere south of
Kandahar tonight
Ask the Lord to be with him
Have His angels to protect him in the fight
He's seen a lot of killing
Though he's only turned 19
He's a brave American warrior
And a Semper Fi Marine
But he's got a baby girl at home
That he ain't ever seen
Pray for him

Say a prayer for Sally
She's on the C-130
Headed out down range
She don't know where she's going
But she knows her young life's just about to change
She wants to save her country
So she didn't hesitate
Cause in her heart she wanted
To be part of something great
So she joined the Army
On the day she graduated
Pray for her
Oh America, red, white and blue
How many heroes bled and died for you
Answered the call and gave it all
And you know they'd proudly do it all again
But we've listened to pundits and fools
Now we fight our wars by someone else's rules
But even if we had to stand alone
I say you either let 'em win or bring 'em home

Say a prayer for Momma
There's someone missing in her family
Say a prayer for Daddy
There's a Gold Star hangin' in the family tree
And the grandkids keep on askin'
Why did Daddy go to war?
And why won't he be coming home
And what was he fightin' for?
They just have to keep on sayin'
Son you'll understand it better by and by

And they hold their heads up higher
And keep hiding all the hurt
While that bunch of dirty scumbags at the
Westboro Baptist Church
Insult our fallen heroes whose boot strings
They're not worthy to untie
Say a prayer for Bobby
And either let him win or bring him home
