Amanda Overmyer - Fight Like A Son lyrics

I was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas Daddy worked his fingers to the bone Building missiles to save us all He told me freedom is a blessing But to fight is not the place for you Just keep God and family first, And bleed red white and blue And as the fighter pilots flew over my head I recognized the words my daddy said He said: Baby there's lot's of change to go But every year I'm proud to see this nation grow Well I said, Uncle Sam ain't ready for a girl behind a gun But this proud leatherclad rider Can fight like a son Fight Like A Son Riding down the road My head it drifts away I think of how many young men died So I can view what I see today How can I advocate the overwhelming pride? What's the way? So I'm sharing a piece of advice that made me what I am today And as the fighter pilots flew over my head I recognized the words my daddy said He said: Baby there's lot's of change to go But every year I'm proud to see this nation grow Well I said, Uncle Sam ain't ready for a girl behind a gun But this proud leatherclad rider Can fight like a son Fight Like A Son Listen to what I say as I cry in the night Hope and prayer can go a long way but it wont make it right So stand up, stand strong, while we hold it together at home Fire up them engines girls, show a woman is just as strong? And as the fighter pilots flew over my head I recognized the words my daddy said He said: Baby there's lot's of change to go But every year I'm proud to see this nation grow Well I said, Uncle Sam ain't ready for a girl behind a gun But this proud leatherclad rider Can fight like a son Fight Like A Son
