The Flag’s on Fire

I was born and I was raised
In the land of the brave and free
Took mama's homemade apple pie to school with me
And every morning, we'd say the pledge
Learn American history
I'd show those precious medals Daddy died for across the sea

But now the flag's on fire, the flag's on fire
It's up to you and me to raise Old Glory higher
If they burn the flag of freedom for all the world to see
They'll never burn the freedom out of me

At seventeen, my girl and me
Made еvery single home gamе
Before the start with hand on heart
We'd stand up proud and sing
And how we prayed that one day
We'd hear wedding bells ring
'Til that day I was called away
About some terrible mid-east thing

But now the flag's on fire, the flag's on fire
It's up to you and me to raise Old Glory higher
If they burn the flag of freedom for all the world to see
They'll never burn the freedom out of me

I guess they got the right to express
How they feel about the flag
But let 'em tell it to the ones
Coming home in a body bag
In God I trust, you feel you must
Stand up with me and brag
We'll tell the world that the stars and stripes
Just ain't some damned old rag

Now the flag's on fire, the flag's on fire
It's up to you and me to raise Old Glory higher
If they burn the flag of freedom for all the world to see
They'll never burn the freedom out of me

The flag's on fire, God, the flag's on fire
It's up to you and me to raise Old Glory higher
If they burn the flag of freedom for all the world to see
They'll never burn the freedom out of me
