Song Of The Patriot    (1980)

I'm a flag wavin' patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough ridin', fightin' Yankee man
I love mom and apple pie and the freedoms that we all enjoy
Across this beautiful land
I've worked hard and I'd 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 wavin' patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough ridin', fightin' Yankee man

And when I see Old Glory wavin', 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 fearin' man
But I'd stand up for my country just as long as I could stand
Cause I'm a flag wavin' patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough ridin', fightin' Yankee man

I'm a flag wavin' patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough ridin', fightin' Yankee man
And I enjoy the liberty of being what I want to be
And achievin' any goal that I can
I was taught to turn the other cheek, but Teddy used to say
Walk soft and pack a big stick, but never walk away
And I'm a flag wavin' patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough ridin', fightin' Yankee man

And when I see Old Glory wavin', I think of all the brave men
That 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.
'Cause I love all my brothers and we're proud of our birth
We've got the greatest country here on God's green earth
And I'm a flag wavin' patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough ridin', fightin' Yankee man
