Some folks believe their TV's like the bible They think the anthem, uh, is just another song They won't teach their kids to shoot their granddad's rifle Some don't respect the dirt that they walk on
Well, that ain't gonna be me I'm gonna put my hand up I'm gonna stand up for what I believe That ain't gonna be me I'm gonna put my boot down By God, stand my ground 'til they bury me If you're looking for a man to give you an apology Well, that ain't gonna be me
I see folks that think the whole world owes them somethin' They look down the nose at those with calloused hands When a sister, or a brother, or some stranger is in trouble They turn their head like they don't give a damn
Well, that ain't gonna be me I'm gonna put my hand up I'm gonna stand up for what I believe That ain't gonna be me I'm gonna put my boot down By God, stand my ground 'til they bury me I won't apologize for lovin' God, my country and my family Well, that ain't gonna be me
Someone got no respect to pride for the flag that so many died for
Well, that ain't gonna be me I'm gonna put my hand up I'm gonna stand up for what I believe That ain't gonna be me I ain't gonna back down I ain't gonna tap out 'til they bury me I won't apologize for me and all that I can be Well, that ain't gonna be me
