Team Georgie Tourney - North Collins Town Park - We Take Care of Our Own


We Take Care of Our Own by Bruce Springsteen

I've been knockin' on the door that holds the throne
I've been lookin' for the map that leads me home
I've been stumblin' on good hearts turned to stone
The road of good intentions has gone dry as bone

We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag's flown
We take care of our own

From Chicago to New Orleans
From the muscle to the bone
From the shotgun shack to the Superdome
We yelled "help" but the cavalry stayed home
There ain't no-one hearing the bugle blown

We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag's flown
We take care of our own

Where the eyes, the eyes with the will to see
Where the hearts, that run over with mercy
Where's the love that has not forsaken me
Where's the work that set my hands, my soul free
Where's the spirit that'll reign, reign over me
Where's the promise, from sea to shining sea
Where's the promise, from sea to shining sea

Wherever this flag is flown
Wherever this flag is flown
Wherever this flag is flown

We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag's flown

We take care of our own
We take care of our own
We take care of our own

Wherever this flag's flown
We take care of our own


Bruce says We Take Care of Our Own at least a dozen times while singing this song. I swear, as I thought about the Kickball Tourney coming today, I sang it ten times that number.

Georgie is smiling down on a bunch of nuts today!
