VERSE 1

I LIKE BURRITOS WITH AN ICE COLD BEER
A WHISKY CHASER IT GOES DOWN A TREAT
I ALWAYS HAVE MY COFFEE BLACK & SWEET
YOU KNOW IT'S SOMETIMES JUST WHAT I NEED
I WATCHED MY DADDY DRIVE HIS OLE JOHN DEERE
MAN HE SWEAT AN'TOILED FOR 40 YEARS
HE TAUGHT US ALL HOW TO TREAT THE LAND
I'M TRYIN' TO FOLLOW HIM THE BEST I CAN

CHORUS

YEAH I'M A STARS & STRIPES AMERICAN
I MAKE MY LIVIN FARMIN'OFF THE LAND
I AINT GOT NO TIME FOR THOSE WHO CANT
TREAT OUR FOLKS WITH RESPECT & SOME
I HAD MY TIME IN AFGHANISTAN
TWO TOURS OF DUTY THEN I COME BACK HOME
I KINDA THINK IT MADE ME WHO I AM
YEAH I'M A STARS & STRIPES AMERICAN










VERSE 2

LEROY GIBBS ON MY TV SCREEN
AN'HARMON GOT HIS ROLE DOWN TO A TEE
"SEMPER FI" IS OUR WATCH-WORD-YOU-KNOW
SURE IS A LOT O' TRUTH IN THAT SHOW
I'M A GUY WHO LIKE TO WEAR HIS JEANS
I ONLY WEAR MY SUIT INFREQUENTLY
MY COWBOY BOOTS ARE ALWAYS ON MY FEET
I LIKE MY MUSIC WITH A COUNTRY BEAT

CHORUS

YEAH I'M A STARS & STRIPES AMERICAN
I MAKE MY LIVIN FARMIN'OFF THE LAND
I AINT GOT NO TIME FOR THOSE WHO CANT
TREAT OUR FOLKS WITH RESPECT & SOME
I HAD MY TIME IN AFGHANISTAN
TWO TOURS OF DUTY THEN I COME BACK HOME
I KINDA THINK IT MADE ME WHO I AM
YEAH I'M A STARS & STRIPES AMERICAN

STARS AND STRIPES AMERICAN
STARS AND STRIPES AMERICAN
STARS AND STRIPES AMERICAN
STARS AND STRIPES AMERICAN
STARS AND STRIPES
STARS AND STRIPES AMERICAN






VERSE 3


NOW I AINT SAYIN' I'M A GOOD OLE BOY
AN'THERE'S BEEN TIMES THAT I'VE LET MYSELF DOWN
DRUNKEN NIGHTS
WHEN I AINT BEEN PROUD
BUT WE CANT BE GOOD ALL OF THE TIME
SO WHEN ALL IS REALLY SAID AND DONE
WE HAVE OUR WORK TIMES WE HAVE OUR FUN
BUT NOTHIN' CHANGES ME FROM WHO I AM
I'M A STARS & STRIPES AMERICAN

CHORUS

YEAH I'M A STARS & STRIPES AMERICAN
I MAKE MY LIVIN FARMIN'OFF THE LAND
I AINT GOT NO TIME FOR THOSE WHO CANT
TREAT OUR FOLKS WITH RESPECT & SOME
I HAD MY TIME IN AFGHANISTAN
TWO TOURS OF DUTY THEN I COME BACK HOME
I KINDA THINK IT MADE ME WHO I AM
I'M A STARS & STRIPES AMERICAN
YEAH ...I KINDA THINK IT MADE ME WHO I AM
I'M A STARS & STRIPES AMERICAN

GOD BLESS THE.... U S OF A.....
