Lời bài hát: Kinky Friedman. Carrying The Torch.

Did I hear you say you wished that you could leave her?
Has some foolish disagreement made you blind?
If you traveled around this world, you wouldn't find another girl
Could hold the candle to the gal you left behind

And boy, she's carrying the torch for you
Though solid tears may fall, you'd never know
But on the day that you discover how much you really love her
You'll find her love has never lost its glow

She believed you when you pledged her your devotion
When she watched you as you walked right out the door
After all that she's been through, tonight she still believes in you
As she stands there all alone upon the shore

And boy, she's carrying the torch for you
Though her heart may break, you'd never know
But on the day that you discover how much you really love her
You'll find her love has never lost its glow

You know, I still remember the first time I ever saw her
You see, I was coming home from overseas
And well, she was just standing there as the ship was coming in
Well, she really stood out from the crowd, I can tell you that
And the golden light of dawn was gleaming in her eyes

Well, there's some folks that call her proud
And there's some folks that call her wild
And there's some that even go so far as to call her free
And then there's some
Well, they just call her the Statue of Liberty

And boy, she's carrying the torch for you
Her love light shines for all this world to see
When you'll decide to stay, you'll find a way to love her
She wants you just to know you're always free
