The Eagle Flies
Granddaddy's flag lives on a shelf
In a frame he built himself
Before landing on the shores of Normandy
He knew it then before he went
That he would soon be heaven sent
Protecting all those rights that keep us free
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, yes she flies
The Eagle flies
My daddy's flag lives on a shelf
In a frame he built himself
He felt it best to go for you and me
He got shipped off to Viet Nam
Densest jungles to withstand
He gave his life to keep his country free
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, yes she flies
The Eagle flies
Now here I am with Uncle Sam
Destined to protect this land
Like those before who fought and died for me
An empty frame awaits my fate
A folded flag will have to wait
'Cause I'm coming home for all the world to see
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, yes she flies
The Eagle flies
In a frame he built himself
Before landing on the shores of Normandy
He knew it then before he went
That he would soon be heaven sent
Protecting all those rights that keep us free
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, yes she flies
The Eagle flies
My daddy's flag lives on a shelf
In a frame he built himself
He felt it best to go for you and me
He got shipped off to Viet Nam
Densest jungles to withstand
He gave his life to keep his country free
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, yes she flies
The Eagle flies
Now here I am with Uncle Sam
Destined to protect this land
Like those before who fought and died for me
An empty frame awaits my fate
A folded flag will have to wait
'Cause I'm coming home for all the world to see
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, flies, flies
And the Eagle flies, yes she flies
The Eagle flies
