I took my little boy on the Fourth of July
Just to watch the fireworks lighting up the night sky
But we never got there
The road was blocked
There was a bunch of damn protesters holding up signs
Trying to tell me that their lives was more important than mine
And my boy said, "Dad, why would they do that?"
I put the truck in neutral and turned off the stereo
I said, "If you're old enough to ask, I guess you're old enough to know."
I put my big ol' hand on his little tiny shoulders
And I told him what I knew in my heart, and that was...
I guess they don't love America
I guess they don't like living in the land of the free
I guess they don't love America
Not like you
Not like me
In Sunday school they taught me about the Pledge of Allegiance
If you don't respect the flag, it ain't no different that treason
But a pretty sick thing I'm afraid I've seen
I was at the football game
It was the National Anthem
And the players on both teams were standing all at attention
All except the quarterback
He took a knee
My taxes built this stadium
My people fill the seats
To watch this kid cash in on all his opportunities
Instead of being grateful to the nation that creates them
He disgraces it, and all his fans cheer
Why?
I guess they don't love America
I guess they don't like living in the land of the free
I guess they don't love America
Not like you
Not like me
You're walking on my fighting side
Whenever I catch you disrespecting on the Red, White & Blue
I don't want to hear your reasons
I don't want to know your thinking
I don'w want to see from your point of view
You'll respect that flag or I'll kick your ass
A woman on my TV disrespecting the President
Complaining about her student loans
Insulting the one percent
But that's them folks that signs her check!
That President gave up the helm of all of them companies
To make this country great again just like it's supposed to be
So take some good advice from this redreck
You're lucky to be living here
You're lucky to be free
You're lucky that your President's as strong a man as he
So shut your mouth and show respect
I shouldn't have to tell you that
Your daddy should have taught you some sense
I guess they don't love America
I guess they don't like living in the land of the free
I guess they don't love America
Not like you
Not like me
I guess they don't love America
I guess they don't like living in the land of the free
I guess they don't love America
Not like you
Not like me
God bless America
