I still think about the way it was When you could still speak your mind Back when uncle Sam put a gun in your hand And you laid it all on the line Well, my grand daddy never did have any trouble With standin' up for what he believed People today seem to be ashamed Of the price that we paid to be free My flag's still flyin', there ain't no denyin' I'm American, born and bred Still proud and united, bring hell and I fight it This blue collar done turn red We used to judge a man by the shake of his hand And his honor and his honesty Never knocked him down when he stood his ground 'Cause it wouldn't beat the policy Now there's mail out bills and fat cat deals And the senate and the house are goin' on We gotta stick to our guns and remember the ones Who made this country strong 'Cause my flag's still flyin', there ain't no denyin' I'm American, born and bred Still proud and united, bring hell and I fight it This blue collar done turn red My flag's still flyin', there ain't no denyin' I'm American, born and bred Still proud and united, bring hell and I fight it This blue collar done turn red And it ain't over 'Cause my flag's still flyin', there ain't no denyin' I'm American, born and bred Still proud and united, bring hell and I fight it This blue collar done turn red This blue collar done turn red This blue collar done turn red
