Courtesy Of The Red, White and Blue by Toby Keith

He also talks about how his dad served in the army and how his family would be safe. He says how the war was a surprise to everyone and they did not expect it."Now this nation that I love is fallin’ under attack. A mighty sucker-punch came flying in from somewhere in the back. Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye, Man, we lit up your world like the fourth of July." This line from the song says how this country is under attack and nobody expected it. “My daddy served in the army where he lost his right eye, But he flew a flag out in our yard 'til the day that he died. He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me. To grow up and live happy in the land of the free.” This line is saying how his father served in the army and he when he died he wanted his family to live in the land of the free without worrying about anything.

Try and stay out of everybody's way.” This line says how you fist walk through the high school doors on your first day and you say hi to all of your friends but you are nervous of all the older people so you try to stay out of their way so you don’t make enemies of your first day of high school.

But I didn't know it at fifteen.” This line says that at fifteen you only think about dating and your first kiss makes your head spin round but you don't think about doing greater things is life.
