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
