Thank You Lyrics - Ray Stevens

Reporters on TV 

Show protesters in the street 

Someone burns a flag 

To show just how they feel 

Well I just can't believe my eyes 

As they spit on the stars and stripes 

How can anyone feel that way, for real 

So if no one's taken time to tell you lately 

Here's a message that you should be hearing daily 

Thank you 

Army 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 a bomb 

It's to keep us safe from harm 

And to keep this country free 

Thank you 

"War is not the answer", reads a big sign in a yard 

Of some takers of this free life that we're living 

Now we all have a choice, like to raise our voice 

But what about those brave hearts out there giving 

So if no one's taken the time to tell you lately 

Here's a message that you should be hearing daily 

Thank you 

Green berets and navy seals 

And all you soldiers in the field 

Thank you 

Full time and reserve 

You don't get what you deserve 

Thank you 

Every time you take the bomb 

Just to keep us safe from harm 

And to help somebody free 

Thank you
