| 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 ole 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 |
