Intro G D C D

Verse 1
G                                   D                                 C         D
This one’s for the country boy who’s living out his song
G                              D                           C                                 D
This one’s for the soldier’s wife who prayed he would come home
Em                                        D          C   D (break)
For the boys in red and the boys in blue
                          G
This one’s for you

This one’s for the single dad who’s wife left him alone
And this one’s for that orphan girl who hasn’t found her home
To those who live with courage in everything they do
This one’s for you

Chorus
C                              G         D                                    Em
This one’s going out to the few, the proud, and strong
C                                           G                Em              D
The back’s of those, this country was surely built upon
C                                   G           D                         Em
We’re sending this one out to some who won’t complain
C                          G               Em                              D
Who live to give away their joy instead of all their pain
            C                             Am                       D
All the ones who see each day as something new
                           G
This ones for you

Verse 2
To the woman laying once again in the same hospital bed
And the man who’s had to live with all the words his father said.
If your pressing through a world that can be cruel
This one’s for you

Bridge idea
Em                                      C
You who walked the bumpy roads 
        G                           D
and still your standing strong
                        Em                           C
Cause when you Trust in God and not in man 
        G                         D
Your never down for long
