Brother,
they tell me that you burned your flag
and you're flagless
And you didn't like Merle
Haggard's songs,
so I guess you're haggless
Well, I'm not too sure
that burning a cloth is a crime
I know you burned your flag,
but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine
My flag flies in my heart
and it flies in my mind
It's not just a rag
that came off an assembly line
Each man must think
what he thinks
and must live in his time
I know you burned your flag,
but I'm sure glad you
couldn't burn
The American flag
is a symbol of freedom of choice
Raising the flag
is the same thing as raising your voice
A freak or a preacher,
we all have the right to be heard
You can't burn my song,
cause a song is just music and words
What a job
My flag flies in my heart
and it flies in my mind
It's not just a rag
that came off the assembly line
Each man must think what he thinks
and must live in his time
I know you burned your flag
and I'm sure glad you couldn't
burn mine
It's funny that burning a symbol
could cause such a flare
All of the wars that we
fought out there
and about there
We'll fly the flag so high
that it's out of your reach
And while we're about it,
we might find the freedom of speech
My flag flies in my heart
and it flies in my mind
It's not just a rag
that came off an assembly line
Each man must think what
he thinks
and must live in his time
I know you burned your flag
but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine
I know you burned your flag,
I'm sure glad you didn't burn mine
The Tommy's, Johnny's,
George's, or yours
