Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wanna light up underneath the no smokin' sign
Sometimes I wish they'd tell me how justice got so blind
I wish they'd just leave me alone 'cause I'm doin' alright
You can take your change on down the road and
Leave me here with mine
[Verse 2]
'Cause that ain't my America
That ain't this country's roots
You wanna slam old Uncle Sam
But I ain't lettin' you
I'm mad as hell and you know I still
Bleed red, white, and blue
That ain't us
That ain't my America
That ain't my America
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I was standing there in Dallas
Waitin' on a plane
I overheard an old man
Tell a young soldier "Thanks"
The young soldier hung his head and said
"It's hard to believe"
You're the only one who took the time
To say a word to me
And the old man said
[Verse 4]
That ain't my America
That ain't this country's roots
You wanna slam old Uncle Sam
But I ain't lettin' you
Yeah, I'm mad as hell and you know I still
Bleed red, white, and blue
They ain't us
That ain't my America
That ain't my America
[Verse 5]
It's to the women and men who
In their hands, they hold a Bible and a gun
And they ain't afraid of nothin'
When they're holdin' either one, oh
[Verse 6]
Now there's kids that can't pray in school
Hundred-dollar tanks of gas
I can tell you right now this country ain't
Ain't supposed to be like that, no
[Verse 7]
That ain't my America
That ain't this country's roots
You wanna slam old Uncle Sam
But I ain't lettin' you
Yeah, I'm mad as hell and know I still
Bleed red, white, and blue
They ain't us
That ain't my, that ain't my America
Oh, no
[Verse 8]
That ain't my America
No, no, no, no, oh, oh
Uh huh
That ain't my America
Oh, no
