(WRITTEN BY DARRYL WORLEY, JIM "MOOSE" BROWN AND PHIL O'DONNELL)

VERSE 1

IF YOU SEE ME HOLD MY HAND OVER MY HEART BEFORE I START THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

THERE'S A REASON, IT'S TO HONOR THOSE WHO DIED

AND IF YOU SEE ME CLOSE MY EYES AND BOW MY HEAD BEFORE I BREAK BREAD WITH MY FAMILY

IT AIN'T A HABIT, IT'S IMPORTANT AND IT'S MY RIGHT

I WORK HALF A YEAR FOR ME THE OTHER HALF FOR UNCLE SAM

WHILE HE'S BAILING OUT THOSE SINKING SHIPS AND DROWNING THE LITTLE MAN

CHORUS:

I WATCH THE NEWS AND HAVE TO WONDER IF THIS COUNTRY'S GOING CRAZY

TALKIN' BOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT HERE BUT HOW THEY WANNA REARRANGE IT

I'M JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE AND THAT MAKES ME SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW

THERE'S A BUNCH OF US OUT HERE THAT FEEL THE SAME

GONNA KEEP OUR GOD, OUR FREEDOM, A LITTLE MONEY IN THE BANK

Y'ALL CAN KEEP THE CHANGE

VERSE 2

NOW THE FAT CATS ON THE HILL ACTING SO BRILLIANT

AIN'T SMART ENOUGH TO NOTICE THAT WE'RE ANGRY

AND AMERICA'S IN TROUBLE

IF THEY DON'T WISE UP AND STOP

BUSTING OUT THE BLOCKS THAT WERE LAID AS A FOUNDATION

THIS NATION COULD WAKE UP IN A PILE OF RUBBLE

THEY SAY WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS BUT IT'S A BIG 'OL SHAME TO ME

THAT COMMON SENSE AIN'T NEAR AS COMMON AS IT USED TO BE

REPEAT CHORUS-BRIDGE:

I'LL BET OUR GRANDPAS ARE GETTING DIZZY

DOWN THERE IN THEIR GRAVES

ROLLING OVER AND OVER, OVER WHAT'S GOING ON THESE DAYS

REPEAT CHORUS
