Lyrics
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 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 can stand
Because 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 achieved in many goals 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
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
'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
