From the recording This Is America
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got a Bible, and I know how to use it
A Ford and I know how to cruise it
An AR-15, and I know how to shoot it
American born, and I ain't afraid to prove it
[Chorus]
I stand for the flag, and I kneel to pray
For the ones who gave it all so I could live this way
Raise your hand, raise your voice, let freedom ring
This is America—and I’ll die for that dream
[Verse 2]
I’ve got a pledge, and I know how to speak it
A dream and I know how to seek it
A heart and I know how to keep it
Freedom runs deep, and I’ll always defend it
[Chorus]
I stand for the flag, and I kneel to pray
For the ones who gave it all so I could live this way
Raise your hand, raise your voice, let freedom ring
This is America—and I’ll die for that dream
[Verse 3]
I’ve got a flag, and I know how to wave it
A truck and I know how to blaze it
El Paso roots, and I’ll never betray it
Texas proud, and I ain’t gonna fake it
[Bridge]
In a world gone mad, I got faith and I got trust
My heart bleeds red for the men who died for us
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
The stars and the stripes, and a country boy's life
[Final Chorus]
I stand for the flag, and I kneel to pray
For the ones who gave it all so I could live this way
Raise your hand, raise your voice, let freedom ring
This is America—and I’ll die for that dream
