Story Behind The Song
A close friend of the family was killed in an Army training accident right before he was to leave for Iraq. At the time spirits were fairly high and we wanted to make a song to let the troops know that they were supported, even if the war was not.

Lyrics
KEEP OUR YELLOW RIBBONS CLOSE
(Til you come home!)
VERSE 1
Every day you?re in our thoughts and prayers
While you're away, defending our freedom.
Don?t despair your sacrifice is not in vain
We appreciate the blood sweat and tears you gave.
HOOK
Boy, you oughta hear ?em over here in the USA
From New York City to L.A. you can hear them shoutin your name.
We?re proud, that you?re brave, inspiring and strong
And we?ll keep our yellow ribbons close ?til you come home.
VERSE 2
Hold your head up high, take a look around.
We know things get hard, even for a Hero.
Don?t despair your courage and strength protect our nation
We appreciate you more than words can say.
HOOK
