There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere

There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere, In a distant land so many miles away. Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there. Where I wish that I could also live someday. I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington, and Pearry, Nathan Hale and Colin Kelley too. There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere, Waving o'er the land of heroes, brave and true.

In this war with it's mad schemes of destructions, Of our country, fair, and our sweet liberty, By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption. Can't the US use a poor old man like me? God gave me the right to be a free American, And for the precious right I'd glady die. There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere, An' I wish that I could live there, by and by.

Though I realize I'm getting on in years, sir, Please don't judge my courage just by my age. Let me show my country what I can do, sir. Let me help to make a mark on history's page. If I do some great deed, I will be a hero, And a hero brave is what I wanna be. There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere, In that land, I hope there is a place for me.
