[Verse]
G
Freedom ain't free, that's where I stand
Dm
Burn my flag I'll kick your ass
G C
Life of a workin' man that's just the way I am
G
People like me, rednecks like us
Bm
Still old school, barbed wire and rust
Em C
Bible on the table, a shot glass in my hand
[Chorus]
Em D G C
So when you ask me why?, I'm willing to give my life
C D G
That Flag right there, it ain't just stars and stripes
[Verse]
G
It's a brother lost in Vietnam
D
It's a WW2 plane that got shot down
Em D
It's for the one's that fight
C
The one's that never made it home
G
It's the way we live, it's the air we breathe
D
Home of the Brave, Land of the Free
G
It's the blood we bleed
C
And we ain't backing down
[Chorus]
Em D C
So when you ask me why?, I'm willing to give my life

That Flag right there, it ain't just stars and stripes

I love this place called U.S.A.

You can't change my outlaw ways
G
Brings out my fighting side
C
Thats why the Devil, knows my name

I miss Jonh Wayne, ain't afraid to bleed

The Rebel and South in me

We don't need your hand out here
C
In this blue collar town
[Chorus]

So when you ask me why?, I'm willing to give my life

That Flag right there, it ain't just stars and stripes

G
It's a young kids dad he'll never see again
D
It's something some people don't understand
Em D
It's for the one's that fight
C
And the one's that never make home
G
It's the way we live, it's the air we breathe
