Francis Scott Key
Yellow Ledbetter/The Star-Spangled Banner [July 23, 2006]
[Verse]
Unsealed on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, I wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah
On a weekend wanna wish it all away
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason, oughtta leave her calm, I know
I said, I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, can you see them
Out on the porch
Yeah but they don't wave
I see them
Round the front way
And I know and I know
I don't want to stay

Make me cry

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I see
I don't know, there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don't
I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag



[Chorus]
Oh yeah, can you see them
Out on the porch
Yeah but they don't wave
I see them
Round the front way
And I know and I know
I don't want to stay

O say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
