This Flag

English translation

It stood proud on the bulge

Flew across the Delaware

It's earned every scar

And still flying everywhere

It's been kicked and it's been cussed

It's been burned out in the street

But it never would give up

'Cause now it just can't be beat

It's folded on the mantle, hanging out front on the porch

It's high in New York City and on the country store

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

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 ol' Hag

And that's why I stand for this Flag

'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

So y'all let's take a moment, bow our heads and pay respect

Quit thinking 'bout ourselves, but the ones who served instead

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

Hmm-mm

Hmm, hmm, hmm, mm
