Lyrics

    19 Miles to Baghdad
    What have I become
    New York’s got snow in April
    and I can’t locate the sun

    Tie a yellow ribbion around something
    Something good has begun

    Kaity holds up the bible
    Are you reading this for fun
    19 miles to Baghdad
    Soldiers load up your guns…and

    Tie a yellow ribbion around something
    Something good has begun

    The boy in the middle he sits down to pray
    He moves to the window, I can see him as he waves
    Hey Mike look out, Mike calls back Billy “ahh be careful”
    I’m just tryng to be brave

    So tie a yellow ribbion around something
    Something lives beyond the grave

    The field reveals that something was concealed
    We make a deal to feel again
    To ask what is the means onto our end
    What is the cause that we defend

    The flag is flying across the country
    Me and the band we play the bars
    and when she points out to the highway
    Flags fly the higest where the people buy their cars

    She says…19 Miles to Baghdad
    I guess we haven’t come so far

    Two planes are flying accross the country
    New York’s so pretty in the fall
    Hey Mike look out, Mike calls back Billy “ahh be careful”
    I’m sure they built them to stand so tall

    19 Miles to Baghdad
    They fall and were called to tie a yellow ribbion around something
    Something good has begun
    Tie a yellow ribbion around something
    What have we become
