[C] [D] [G]
an American flag out on my front [Am] lawn, a 97 Chevy decked out in chrome, [C] and my girl
sittin' with a short skirt [G] on a pulled swan.
Them kids of mine playin' and runnin' [A] around with a nice cream [C] sandwich and a blue-tail ham.
The East Georgia sun slowly comin' [G] down on me, [Em]
[C] and if it rains, hold down [G] tomorrow.
[C] I want you to know that [D] it'll be alright.
[G]
Some will say I'm crazy, [D] well that just may be [G] true, but you know I love this country
[D] son, I bleed red, white, and blue.
[C]
Still [G] my mama's wildest [D] child, and my daddy's [Em] pride and joy.
[C] Hey good God, [G] I'm proud to [D] be an [G] American boy.
[Am] [G] Up every morning round the crack of [Am] dawn, kiss my wife over word of blues [G] songs, cup
of black coffee, man I'm gone again.
I live my life like my old [Am] man, raise the kids on a farm of land.
[G] Sure ain't waitin' on no stimulus plan to kick in, [Em] [C] when the world ain't [G] so forgiving.
[Em] [G] I know the good Lord's [D] got my back.

son, [D] I bleed red, white, and blue.
