Scooter Brown Band American Son (feat. Charlie Daniels)
This land is hard, this land is mean
This dirt is ripped on the blood it's seen
Raised on a good book, hand on a gun
Never backin' down, the American son
I was born from the blood of a workin' man
Stand and fight for those who can't
I put my hand 'cross my heart even through the hard times
I get chills on my back when I see Old Glory fly
'Cause this land is hard, this land is mean
This dirt is ripped on the blood it's seen
Raised on a good book, hand on a gun
Never backin' down, the American son
I ain't afraid to sweat, I ain't afraid to bleed
Stand along for what we believe
Wrap around my feet, live on my knees
There ain't no man gonna take it from me
'Cause this land is hard, this land is mean
This dirt is ripped on the blood it's seen
Raised on a good book, hand on a gun
Never backin' down, the American son
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all
We come from the farms and the ranches
Oilfield hand, the ones that turn wrenches
We built these bridges and roads
The big rig droppers, callin' low
The mason, the cop, the coal miner
The banker, the lawyer, the fire-fighter
I'm the man in the shadows who carries a gun
I'm a shootin' dog, the American son
I am the American son
Never backin' down, ain't never gonna run
I am the American son
Never backin' down, ain't never gonna run
I am the American son
Never backin' down, ain't never gonna run
I am the American son
Gonna take it to my grave when they day is done
