American Pride Lyrics
American Pride - Moonshine Bandits
Lyrics by:Dusty Dahlgren/Brett Brooks
Composed by:Dusty Dahlgren/Brett Brooks
Oooh yeahh
Ohh
Folded flags and memories
Photographs and the rosary
She hangs her head
As the choir sings
And she cries and she cries
And she cries and she cries
'Cause her family was waiting
At home and was praying
For him to survive
That folded flag that she now
Holds she holds it
Close tonight
Shots rang out
Another angle cries
Open up the gates
When he arrives
As he fell to the ground
There was no fear in his eyes
They'll bury him before
They bury his pride
This is for my people
That are fighting overseas
This is for my people
Keeping all the kids free
Another brother got shot
Another RIP
This is for my people
That died for you and me
For the red white and blue
The stars and the stripes
The gunpowder residue on
The letters you write
For every picture
That you send
To your lonely wife
Wishing we can see you
Just one more time
Now this little old town
Showing you a lot of pride
Every store downtown
Has a flag outside
Today I bought a six pack
And went for a drive
I'm wishing we could
Spend it like we did in 05
I remember what you told me
When you signed on the line
You didn't do for the fame
Didn't do it for the shine
Didn't do for the money
Didn't do for a dime
You did it for your country
And American Pride
Shots rang out
Another angle cries
Open up the gates
When he arrives
As he fell to the ground
There was no fear in his eyes
They'll bury him before
They bury his pride
For the red white and blue
The stars and the strips
Red white and blue
The stars and the stripes
You know red white and blue
The Stars and the Strips
I did it for my country
And American pride
Shots rang out
Another angle cries
Open up the gates
When he arrives
As he fell to the ground
There was no fear in his eyes
They'll bury him before
They bury his pride
Shots rang out
Another angle cries
Open up the gates
When he arrives
As he fell to the ground
There was no fear in his eyes
They'll bury him before
They bury his pride
So the next time
You see a soldier
At one of our shows
You buy that Soldier a drink
And you tell them
Thank You
Then you make a
Toast to Freedom
