Chris Janson This Flag Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It stood proud on the bulge
Flew across the Delaware
It's earned every scar
And still flying everywhere
It's been kicked and it's been cussed
It's been burned out in the street
But it never would give up
Cause now it just can't be beat

[Pre-Chorus]
It's folded on the mantle, hanging out front on the porch
It's high in New York City and on the country store
[Chorus]
It stands for what's right, it stands for the free
It stands for every small town kid who ever had a dream
All the ones who left their homes and never made it back
That's why I stand for this Flag

[Verse 2]
When that anthem gets to playing
You won't find me on my can
I know some people do
Man it really makes me mad
They get to walking on my fighting side Just like ole Hag
And that's why I stand for this Flag

[Chorus]
Cause it stands for what's right, it stands for the free
It stands for every small town kid who ever had a dream
All the ones who left their homes and never made it back
That's why I stand for this Flag

[Pre-Chorus]
So y'all let's take a moment, bow our heads and pay respect
Quit thinking 'bout ourselves, but the ones who served instead

[Chorus]
It stands for what's right, it stands for the free
It stands for every small town kid who ever had a dream
All the ones who left their homes and never made it back
That's why I stand for this Flag
Yeah, that's why I stand for this Flag
[Outro]
Mmmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
