Good
Ol’ Boy
Copyright©2003, Michael S. Robinson

I
would give my life for that dear old flag--
in
Afghanistan, Korea, or Iraq
If
the president called, I be there, in a flash,
even
if he’d caught me in the sack.
Yep,
my country’s so dear, I’d give up sex and beer,
to
be numbered with the loyal and the true.
I’m
a patriot guy, who would answer the cry,
and
defend the dear, red, white, and blue
Chorus:
I
give thanks every day for the American way,
for
my country’s my love and my joy,
I’m
devout, to the max, but I cheat on my tax,
‘cause
I’m simply a good ol’ boy.
I’ve
got kids I adore that I’ve sacrificed for,
and
they’re doin’ mighty well in public school.
Gotta
real fine dog, an’ a house made of log
and a double "D" gal, who’s a jewel.
So
I’m ready to give, for this life that I live,
in
the home of the brave and the free,
There’s
no cost that’s to great when my country’s first-rate,
and
the one place that I want to be.
Chorus:
I
would fight, with the best, take a shot in the chest,
for
my country’s my pride and my joy.
I’m
devout, to the max, but I cheat on my tax,
‘cause
I’m simply a good ol’ boy.
Chorus:
I
give thanks every day for the American way,
for
my country’s my love and my joy,
I’m
devout, to the max, but I cheat on my tax,
