We were raised up in the South On highway 12 off the rural route It was "Yes sir" and "Yes ma'am" That's still part of who I am We bowed our heads, we said grace And we owned up to our mistakes We were born red, white, and blue That was all we ever knew We're not ashamed to fly these stripes and stars When I see Ole Glory I see who we are I see the scars, the tears, the ones who never made it back That's why we stand, hand over heart, when we fly this flag We pledged allegiance in our school The Lord's prayer, the golden rule Father, Son, and Holy Ghost That's what I believe in most It's been trampled, it's been burned But we stand up when it's our turn We were born red, white, and blue That was all we ever knew We're not ashamed to fly these stripes and stars When I see Ole Glory I see who we are I see the scars, the tears, the ones who never made it back That's why we stand, hand over heart, when we fly this flag We still stand up for that anthem song And for the Soldier's Tomb who's still unknown For all the rows, of names engraved on white headstones That's why we stand, hand over heart, when we fly this flag Yeah we fly the flag Our country tells of thee The sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing
