lyrics

Chorus
And I'll bear with my brother, and we'll struggle and rise up if we can. To take the life of another, God and the devil don't have to shake hands.

Folks used to burn the cross out in the front yard. Fear in the eyes of both sides, cause fire meant more than scars. To quiet a man outside the law, string him up from a tall enough tree. Freedom wasn't supposed to look like this, but nobody asked me.

Chorus

Mama integrated when she was in first grade. For a little west Texas town, there sure was a lot to say. With love in her eyes she was color blind, and is to this day. She says don't judge a man by his skin, but his heart and the love in his face.

Chorus

Now-a-days folks burn the flag, just because they can. But you won't catch me taking part, cause I'm proud to be an American.

Chorus
