Johnathan East American Boy
I’ve got an American flag out on my front lawn
A ’97 Chevy decked out in chrome
And my girl sittin’ with a short skirt on the porch
swing
Them kids of mine a playin’ and a runnin’ around
With an ice cream sandwich and blue tick hound
And the East Georgia sun is slowly coming down on me
And if the rain pours down tomorrow
Don’t you know that will be alright, yeah.
(Chorus)
Some may say I’m crazy, well that just may be true
But you know I love this country, son and I bleed red,
white and blue
I’m still my momma’s wildest child and my daddy’s pride
and joy
Hey good God Almighty, I’m proud to be an American boy.
Up every morning ‘round the crack of dawn
I kiss my wife, throw my work boots on
A cup of black coffee and man, I’m gone again
I live my life like my old man
I raise my kids and I farm the land
Sure ain’t waitin’ on no stimulus plan to kick in
When the world ain’t so forgiving
I know the good Lord’s got my back, yeah.
(Repeat Chorus)
I think it’s time I said Amen, for the shape that I’m
still in.
(Repeat Chorus)
Yeah, good God Almighty, I’m proud to be an American
boy.
