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
