Bumper Of My SUV Lyrics
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 and better understand
And...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 shes 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
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
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
I'm not republican or democrat
But I've gone all around this crazy world
Just to try and better understand
And...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
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 shes 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
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

This song is awesome...poetically as well as emotionally. It's one thing to write a song that can get one's emotions going, but it's another for the words to actually mean something, to be personal...not many people can relate to some of the stuff she wrote in this song...I know I can't. That's why it's such a good song. It's not cliche. Cliche is bad writing. And it sounds horrible when it's overdone. She can get away with a cliche or two in this song, but otherwise it's great.
