Song Of The Patriot

Johnny Cash · Johnny Cash Icons [2010]

I'm a flag waving 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 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 waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man



And when I see old glory waving

I think of all the brave men

Who have fought and died for what is right and wrong



And when I see old glory burnin'

My blood begins to churnin'

And I could do some fightin? 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 can stand

'Cause I'm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man



I'm a flag waving 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 achieved in many goals that I can



I was taught to turn the other cheek, but daddy used to say

Walk soft and pack a big stick, but never walk away

I'm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man



And when I see old glory waving

I think of all the brave men

Who had fought and died for what is right and wrong



And when I see old glory burnin'

My blood begins to churnin'

And I could do some fightin? of my own



'Cause I love all my brothers and we're proud of our group

We've got the greenest country here on God's green earth

And I'm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam

A rough riding fighting Yankee man
