Johnny Cash & Marty Robbins Song of the Patriot Lyrics:
[Cash:]
I'm a flag-wavin', patriotic, nephew of my Uncle Sam.
A rough-ridin', fightin', Yankee man.
I love mom and applie pie,
And the freedoms that we all enjoy,
Across this beautiful land.
I worked hard and I fight hard,
For the old Red, White, and Blue
And I'll die a whole lot harder,
If it comes to where I have to.
I'm a flag-wavin', patriotic, nephew of my Uncle Sam.
A rough-ridin', fightin', Yankee man.

[Cash & Robbins:]
And when I see old Glory wavin',
I think of all the brave men
Who have fought and died,
For what is right and wrong.
And when I see old Glory burnin,
My blood begins to churnin',
And I could do some fightin' of my own.
[Cash:]
I don't believe in violence, I'm a God-fearin' man.
Bul I'll stand up for my country,
Just as long as I can stand.
[Cash & Robbins:]
'Cause I'm a flag wavin', patriotic nephew of my Uncle Sam.
A rough-ridin', fightin', Yankee man.

[Instrumental break.]

[Cash:]
I'm a flag-wavin', patriotic, nephew of my Uncle Sam.
A rough-ridin', fightin', Yankee man.

And I enjoy the liberty,
Of bein' what I want to be,
And achievin' any goals that I can.
I was taught to turn the other cheeck,
But Teddy used to say,
Walk soft and pack a big stick,
But never walk away.
And I'm a flag-wavin', patriotic, nephew of my Uncle Sam.
A rough-ridin', fightin', Yankee man.

[Cash & Robbins:]
And When I see old Glory wavin',
I think of all the brave men,
That have fought and died
For what is right and wrong.
And when I see old Glory burnin,
My blood begins to churnin',
And I could do some fightin' of my own.

[Cash:]
Cause I love all my brothers,
And were proud of our birth.
We've got the greenest country,
Here on God's green earth.
[Cash & Robbins:]
And I'm a flag-wavin', patriotic, nephew of my Uncle Sam.
A rough ridin' fightin' Yankee man.
