[Verse] A tattered flag flies on my old front porch, Under skies that stretch from coast to coast, Been through wars and weathers harsh and fierce, But my love for this land stands near. [Verse 2] You can break my heart, try to bring me down, Take what’s mine or burn this farmhouse to the ground, But there’s one thing you’ll never undermine, My spirit's tied to this land so fine. [Chorus] You can shoot my ear, but you can’t take my patriotism, You can try to blind me, but I'll see through your prism, My roots run deep in American soil, No matter what comes, for this land, I’ll toil. [Verse 3] From the rolling hills to the Mississippi streams, Sweat and tears fuel these red, white, and blue dreams, Generations past and those ahead, This country’s blood runs bold and red. [Chorus] You can shoot my ear, but you can’t take my patriotism, You can try to blind me, but I'll see through your prism, My roots run deep in American soil, No matter what comes, for this land, I’ll toil. [Bridge] Through highs and lows, through thick and thin, I wear this country like a second skin, You may question, you may jeer, But freedom's whisper I will always hear.
