50000 Names Lyrics - George Jones

There are teddy bears & high school rings 

and old photographs that mamas bring 

That daddies with their young boys, playing ball. 

There's combat boots that he used to wear, 

When he was sent over there. 

There's 50, 000 names carved in the wall 

There's cigarettes, & theres cans of beer 

and notes that say I miss you dear 

and children who don't say anything at all. 

There's purple hearts and packs of gum 

fatherless daughters and fatherless sons 

and there's 50, 000 names carved in the wall

They come from all across this land 

In pickup trucks and mini vans 

Searching for a boy from long ago 

They scan the wall and find his name 

The teardrops fall like pouring rain 

and silently they leave a gift and go 

Photos 

There's stars of David and rosary beads 

and crucifixion figurines 

and flowers of all colors large and small 

There's a Boy Scout badge and a merit pin 

Little American flags waving in the wind 

and there's 50, 000 names carved in the wall. 

There's 50, 000 names carved in the wall...
