Lyrics
SALUTE Mark "Buc" Williams 2019(ASCAP)
(V1)
I LOVE MY FRIENDS, I LOVE MY FAMILY
THEY'RE THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD THAT MEAN THE MOST TO ME THROUGH GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN YOU KNOW IT HURTS LIKE HELL WHEN SOMEONE HAS TO LEAVE
(CHORUS 1)
SO HERE'S TO KINFOLK, THOSE WHO'VE GONE ON AHEAD HERE'S TO THEIR MEMORIES AND TO SEEING THEM AGAIN SO GET OFF YOUR ASS RAISE UP YOUR GLASS
AND SHOUT OUT YOUR TRIBUTE
TO ALL OUR LOVED ONES EVERYWHERE
SALUTE
(V2)
I'VE HAD CLOSE FRIENDS, SOME WERE HEAVEN SENT
SOME WHO WERE ALWAYS THERE, AND SOME WHO CAME AND WENT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHEN THEY WERE IN MY LIFE
THEY'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AND FOR THOSE IN PARADISE
(CHORUS 2)
HERE'S TO GOOD FRIENDS, THOSE WHO'VE GONE ON AHEAD HERE'S TO THEIR MEMORIES AND TO SEEING THEM AGAIN SO GET OFF YOUR ASS RAISE UP YOUR GLASS
AND SHOUT OUT YOUR TRIBUTE
TO ALL OUR BESTIES EVERYWHERE
SALUTE
(BRIDGE)
I LOOK AROUND THIS GREAT COUNTRY AND MY HEART SWELLS UP WITH PRIDE KNOWING HOW FAR WE'VE COME THANKS TO THOSE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED
(CHORUS 3)
SO HERE'S TO AMERICA, GOD BLESS THE STARS AND STRIPES TO THOSE WHO SERVED AND THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES SO GET OFF YOUR ASS RAISE UP YOUR GLASS
AND SHOUT OUT YOUR TRIBUTE
TO ALL OUR HERO'S EVERYWHERE
SALUTE
TO THIS PLACE I'M FROM, THIS LAND I LOVE TO THOSE STRONG AND RESOLUTE
GOD BLESS YOU EACH AND EVERYONE SALUTE
