Brother they tell me that you've burned your flag and your flagness
And you didn't like Merle Haggard songs so I guess you're hagless
But I'm not too sure that burning a cloth is a crime
I know you've burned your flag but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine
My flag it flies in my heart and it flies in my mind
It's not just too ragged it came off of an assembly line
Each man must think what he thinks and must live in his time
I know you've burned your flag but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine
The American flag is a symbol of freedom of choice
Raisin' a flag is the same as raisin' your voice
A freak or a preacher they all have the right to be hurt
No you can't burn my song cause the song is just music and words
My flag it flies in my heart and it flies in my mind...
It's funny that burning the symbol could call such a flat
All of the wars that we fought have been about that
We'll fly the flag so high that it's out of your reach
And why we're about it we might burn the freedom of speech
My flag it flies in my heart and it flies in my mind...
I know you've burned your flag but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine
The Tommy's Johnny's George's and Tom's
