Angry American

Toby Keith

  • 																					Spoken:

    Following September 11th last year, everybody that was a poet or writer or a
    song writer of any kind had a reason to write some words down or some thoughts
    down on a piece of paper. And I was no different than anybody else, that's
    what you do when you do what I do. And Uhh

    My father served in the army in the 50's he lost his eye in a training combat
    mission. He came home he put up a flag at the farm I was raised on. I lost
    him six months prior to the attacks on New York City and the United States and
    Uhh that flag flew out there in that yard and it's flown there every day.

    He raised me right and he never bitched one time about losing his eye. Never
    heard him cry about it one time, he was glad to go do it, that's why we're free
    today and it's our turn to stand on what our fathers and fore fathers did for
    us and make sure we don't let them down.

    I wrote a song in the following days after September 11th it's called the
    "Angry American" and I want to send it out to my father tonight.

    Sang ....

    American Girls and American Guys
    We'll always stand up and salute
    We'll always recognize
    When we see Ole Glory Flying
    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
    Till 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 mighty sucker punch came flying in
    From somewhere in the back
    Soon as we could see clearly
    Through our big black eye
    Man, we lit up your world
    Like the 4th of July

    Hey 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 there's gonna be hell
    When you hear Mother Freedom
    Start ringing her bell
    And itll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
    Ahhh Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

    Ohhh 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 U.S. of A.
    'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
    It's the American way

    Hey 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 there's gonna be hell
    When you hear Mother Freedom
    Start ringing her bell
    And itll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
    Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

    Uhhh Ohhh
    Of the Red, White and Blue
    Ohhh Ohh Oh
    Of My Red, White and Blue
