Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It stood proud on the Bulge
Flew across the Delaware
It's earned every scar
And still flying everywhere
[Verse 2]
It's been kicked, and it's been cussed
It's been burned out in the street
But it never would give up
'Cause naw, it just can't be beat
[PreChorus]
It's folded on the mantle
Hanging out there on the porch
It's high in New York City
And on the country store
[Chorus]
It stands for what's right, it stands for the free
It stands for every small-town kid who ever had a dream
All the ones who left their homes and never made it back
That's why I stand for this flag
[Verse 3]
When that anthem gets to playing
You won't find me on my can
I know some people do
Man, it really makes me mad
They get to walking on my fighting side
Just like ole Hag
And that's why I stand for this flag
[Chorus]
'Cause it stands for what's right, it stands for the free
It stands for every small-town kid who ever had a dream
All the ones who left their homes and never made it back
That's why I stand for this flag
[Bridge]
So y'all, let's take a moment
Bow our heads and pay respect
Quit thinking 'bout ourselves
But the ones who served instead
[Chorus]
It stands for what's right, it stands for the free
It stands for every small-town kid who ever had a dream
All the ones who left their homes and never made it back
That's why I stand for this flag
Yeah, that's why I stand for this flag
