Some folks believe their TV′s like the bible

They think the anthem, uh, is just another song

They won't teach their kids to shoot their granddad′s rifle

Some don't respect the dirt that they walk on

Well, that ain't gonna be me

I′m gonna put my hand up

I′m gonna stand up for what I believe

That ain't gonna be me

I′m gonna put my boot down

By God, stand my ground 'til they bury me

If you′re looking for a man to give you an apology

Well, that ain't gonna be me

I see folks that think the whole world owes them somethin′

They look down the nose at those with calloused hands

When a sister, or a brother, or some stranger is in trouble

They turn their head like they don't give a damn

Well, that ain't gonna be me

I′m gonna put my hand up

I′m gonna stand up for what I believe

That ain't gonna be me

I′m gonna put my boot down

By God, stand my ground 'til they bury me

I won′t apologize for lovin' God, my country and my family

Well, that ain′t gonna be me

Someone got no respect to pride

for the flag that so many died for

Well, that ain't gonna be me

I'm gonna put my hand up

I′m gonna stand up for what I believe

That ain′t gonna be me

I ain't gonna back down

I ain′t gonna tap out 'til they bury me

I won′t apologize for me and all that I can be

Well, that ain't gonna be me

That ain′t gonna be me

That ain't gonna be me
