This Flag

It stood proud on the Bulge

Flew across the Delaware

It's earned every scar

And still flying everywhere

It's been kicked, and it's been cussed

It's been burned out in the street

But it never would give up

'Cause naw, it just can't be beat

It's folded on the mantle

Hanging out there on the porch

It's high in New York City

And on the country store

It stands for what's right, it stands for the free

It stands for every small-town kid who ever had a dream

All the ones who left their homes and never made it back

That's why I stand for this flag

When that anthem gets to playing

You won't find me on my can

I know some people do

Man, it really makes me mad

They get to walking on my fighting side

Just like ole Hag

And that's why I stand for this flag

'Cause it stands for what's right, it stands for the free

It stands for every small-town kid who ever had a dream

All the ones who left their homes and never made it back

That's why I stand for this flag

So y'all, let's take a moment

Bow our heads and pay respect

Quit thinking 'bout ourselves

But the ones who served instead

It stands for what's right, it stands for the free

It stands for every small-town kid who ever had a dream

All the ones who left their homes and never made it back

That's why I stand for this flag

Yeah, that's why I stand for this flag
