Last Ounce Of Dignity
(Dedicated To Homeless Veteran's)
VERSE 1
Reaches into his pocket
For a half a cigarette
Holding onto his homeless sign
A lost and lonely vet
I roll down my window
He walks over to me
I hand him a five he gives me a smile
He God blesses me
I thank him for his service
That's when I see
A Purple Heart pinned to his chest
A hero's last ounce of dignity
VERSE 2
I don't know how it happens
So many come home from war
Sacrifice lay down their lives
So we can be safe and warm
As I drive away
A tear comes to my eye
My heart has one question
Where will that hero sleep tonight
CHORUS 2X
Under the moon ands stars
In heavens light
Hope that he'll be safe tonight
Pray God helps that hero to see
While he holds onto his last ounce of dignity
TAG
While he holds onto his last ounce of dignity
