Sweet Kentucky sunshine blonde
She didn't have to search for a young man's love
And he stole her heart away
Struggling to make their dreams come true
She worked so he could wear the blue one day
And serve his fellow man
An American dream only they could understand

True story
I'm living in
I've been lost and I've been found and I will not pretend
My freedom came at such a price
And I will not forget the ones who sacrificed
So I can live my true story

Fifty stars and thirteen stripes
While some were kneeling he would stand and pray
And salute it every day
He couldn't bear to watch the news
And how each day they twist the truth away
About the country that he loved
He wore the colors when they carried him away

True story
I'm living in
I've been lost and I've been found and I will not pretend
My freedom came at such a price
And I will not forget the ones who sacrificed
So I can live my true story

At sixty-five he gave his life
He bowed his knee to Jesus Christ
Now he's with the Lord in all His glory
And I know if he was here today he'd look me in the eyes and say it's true
Son, it's all true

True story I'm living in
I was lost but now I'm found and that will never end
My freedom came at such a price
Now I'll forever praise the One who sacrificed
So I can live my true story
I'm gonna live my true story
Yeah
