Songtexte: Johnny Cash. The Essential Johnny Cash. Song Of The Patriot.

I?m a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
I love mom and apple pie and the freedoms that we all enjoy
Across this beautiful land

I worked hard and I 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 waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough riding fighting Yankee man

And when I see old glory waving
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 fearing man
But I?d stand up for my country just as long as I can stand
'Cause I?m a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough riding fighting Yankee man

I?m a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
And I enjoy the liberty of being what I want to be
And achieved in many goals that I can

I was taught to turn the other cheek, but daddy used to say
Walk soft and pack a big stick, but never walk away
I?m a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough riding fighting Yankee man

And when I see old glory waving
I think of all the brave men
Who had 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 group
We?ve got the greenest country here on God?s green earth
And I?m a flag waving patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough riding fighting Yankee man
