Verse
13 Folds Away
Jeremy Hurtt•
remember the price we pay
Verse 1
It's hotter than a lamp cordWhen the rubber starts to frayAnd the watermelon juicesWash the hot dog breath awayA well-earned three-day weekendWe'll dance and drink and playAnd fire off our candlesOn this Independence Day
Chorus
When the sulfur lights the skylineRemember the price we payIt's there among the 6 StarsJust 13 Folds away
Verse 2
Alex was a young manWith a daughter on the wayWhen the coin flip of the agesEclipsed his will to stayNow the Cape soil has been piledBy a hole through the ol blue clayAs the rifles all point skywardThree volleys on their way
Chorus
When the bugler sets his jawlineFor the song he's set to playIt's there among the 6 StarsJust 13 Folds away
Verse 3
They stand on foreign fieldrowsAnd stand on words they sayIn oaths to home and countryTo stand in peril's wayOrders are rarely orderedBy those who have to payBut they stand besides their brothersFor others, come what may
Chorus
When no hordes come to our shorelineBloodthirsty for new preyIt's there among the 6 StarsJust 13 Folds away
Bridge
Along the path to paradiseThe marchers on displayThe angels of the heavensAt attention, line their way
Chorus
When the sulfur lights the skylineRemember the price we payIt's there among the 6 StarsJust 13 Folds away All within the 6 StarsJust 13 Folds away
