American girls, and american guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see old glory flyin'
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head.

My daddy served in the Army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
'Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother,
My sister and me to grow up
And live happy in the land of the free

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A sucker punch came flyin'
From somewhere in the back
As soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man we lit up your world
Like the fourth of July.

And Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist
And the Eagle will fly, and it's gonna to be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world's raining down on you.
Brought to you courtesy of the red, white, and blue.

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The US of A
Cuz we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way.

And Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist
And the Eagle will fly, and it's gonna to be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world's raining down on you.
Brought to you courtesy of the red, white, and blue.

Oh, of the red, white, and blue
Oh, of my red, white, and blue

    My Opinion:Why is it such a crime to be patriotic? Some of you need to stop with the angry comments about Americans. The terrorists did what they did to get attention and they got what they deserved, period.

    General Comment:sad...typical of an atheist to hide behind a computer and bring atheism to where it doesn't belong.

    General Comment:After looking at the comments on here, I am disgusted to be considered an American. The people who write these kinds of lyrics or support these kinds of songs truly should not be allowed to speak. I cannot believe how ignorant people can be. The Dixie Chicks are so much better than Toby Keith.

    Also, does anyone else find it to be at all interesting that the majority of the most intelligent people in the world are atheists? Because I do..

    General Comment:This song disgusts me. I can't even begin to describe how much. In fact, so does everybody who's proud of this song and the sentiments it expresses. Thank God country music still has the Dixie Chicks.

    General Comment:Courtesy of the Red white and blue was written soon after the event’s of 9/11. It is nicknamed the angry American, as it represents the mood of most Americans in response to the attacks on the towers. It expressed the need to fight back and take a stand up for freedom. It also served as a warning to the attacking country, stating that war would ensue as a result of the attack, and not only will the USA strike back, but all of the allies will too. While most songs of this time were anti-war, this song pushed towards war, and reminded people what we were fighting for.
