The Bumper of My S.U.V.

(Chely Wright)
 I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car
 Says United States Marines
 And yesterday a lady in a mini-van
 Held up her middle finger at me
 Does she think she knows what I stand for
 Or the things that I believe
 Just by looking at a sticker for the U.S. Marines
 On the bumper of my SUV.
 See, my brother Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now
 Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam
 Did his duty then he got out
 And my grandpa earned his purple heart
 On the beach of Normandy
 That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
 On the bumper of my SUV.
 But that doesn't mean that I want war
 I'm not Republican or Democrat
 But I've gone all around this crazy world
 Just to try to better understand.
 Yes, I do have questions
 I get to ask them because I'm free
 That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
 On the bumper of my SUV.
 'Cause I've been to Hiroshima
 And I've been to the DMZ
 I've walked on the sand in Baghdad
 Still don't have all of the answers I need
 But I guess I wanna know where she's been
 Before she judges and gestures to me
 'Cause she don't like my sticker
 For the U.S. Marines
 On the bumper of my SUV.
 So I hope that lady in her mini-van
 Turns on her radio and hears this from me
 As she picks up her kids from their private school
 And drives home safely on our city streets
 Or to the building where her church group meets.
 Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines
 On the bumper of my SUV...
