Lyrics
American girls ’n American guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flyin’
There’s a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our heads
My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
'Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother my brother my sister and me
To grow up and alive happy
In the land of the free
Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack
A sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man we lit up your world like the 4th of July
Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly man it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is rainin’ down on you
Oh brought to you courtesy of the red white ’n blue
Oh and justice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with the USofA
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way
Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell
It'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to courtesy of the red white ’n blue
Oh of the red white ’n blue
I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em bright ’n early
I'm all business in my suit
Yeah I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots
I don't do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway
Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yeah I'm real good under pressure
Being all that I can be
And I can't call in sick on Mondays
When the weekends been too strong
I just work strait through holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready
When the wolf growls at the door
Hey I'm solid hey I'm steady
Hey I'm true down to the core
And I will always do my duty
No matter what the price
I've counted up the cost
I know the sacrifice
Oh and I don't want to die for you
But if dying's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'Cause freedom don't come free
I'm an American soldier an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters
I will proudly take a stand
By you
The U.S.A.
God bless to everyone today
Me ’n you!
