[Verse 1]
Stop right there when you see those boots and a uniform comin' your way
Get off your cellphone and look 'em in the eye, and drop that old briefcase
If you wanna see what a hero looks like this might be your chance
Before you go back home to your safe little world, y'all don't you understand?

[Chorus]
These are the men and women that keep us livin' safe inside our homes
And if you took one minute, your head would be spinnin' to see the things that they know
So stop what you're doin', walk up to him
And tell him how much it means
That every night you drift off to sleep
They're all across the planet makin' sure you're free
Stop when you see a uniform

[Verse 2]
Don't you know who you just walked past with your headphones in today?
You're all concerned with your own little world just outside the terminal gate
They're comin' home from a whole 'nother world that we know nothin' about
So the least we can give them is a standin' ovation, it's time they hear us shout

[Chorus]
These are the men and women that keep us livin' safe inside our homes
And if you took one minute, your head would be spinnin' to see the things that they know
So stop what you're doin', walk up to him
And tell him how much it means
That every night you drift off to sleep
They're all across the planet makin' sure you're free
Stop when you see a uniform
Whoa, mmm, whoa
These are the men and women that keep us livin' safe inside our homes
And if you took one minute, your head would be spinnin' to see the things that they know
So stop what you're doin', walk up to him
And tell him how much it means
That every night you drift off to sleep
They've got it covered protectin' you and me
Stop when you see a uniform

[Outro]
God Bless the USA
