The Patriot

The Patriot
Johnny Cash

I’m a flag waiving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man

I love mom and apple pie and the freedoms that we all enjoy

Across this beautiful land

I worked hard and I’ll fight hard for the old Red White and Blue

And I’ll die a whole lot harder if it comes to where I have to

I’m a flag waiving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man

And when I see old glory waiving

I think of all the brave men who have fought and died for what is right and wrong

And when I see old glory burning, my blood begins to churn

And I could do some fighting of my own

I don’t believe in violence

I’m a god-fearing man

But I’d stand up for my country

Just as long as I could stand

Cause I’m a flag waiving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man

I’m a flag waiving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man

And I enjoy the liberty of being what I want to be

And achieving any goal that I can

I was taught to turn the other cheek

But Teddy used to say, Walk soft and pack a big stick, but never walk away

And I’m a flag waiving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man

And when I see old glory waiving

I think of all the brave men who have fought and died for what is right and wrong

And when I see old glory burning, my blood begins to churn

And I could do some fighting of my own

Cause I love all my brothers and we’re proud of our birth

We’ve got the greatest country here on God’s green earth

And I’m a flag waiving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man
