11 Jul 97 - 01:03 AM (#8482) Subject: Request: Help on Lyrics to Song From: Gene A couple of years ago, on Memorial Day, or the 4th of July, I switched on the TV to TNN and the VCR just in time to catch the following part of a video featuring Johnny Cash, Tommy Cash, Tom T. Hall and George Jones, marching along waving the Flat and singing. JC: I know you burned your flag, but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine. GJ: It's funny that burning a symbol could cause such a flap All of the wars that we've fought have been about that We'll fly the flag so high, it's out of your reach And while we're about it, we might burn the Freedom of Speech. TTH: My flag flies in my heart and it flies in my mind TC: It's not just a rag that came off an assembly line TTH: Each man must preach what he thinks and must live in his time TC: I know you burned your flag, but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine. TTH: I know you burned your flag, but I'm sure glad you didn't burn mine. I'm hoping someone can fill in the missing first part of the song. |

Hall Brother, they tell me that you burned your flag and you're flagless. And you didn't like Merle Haggard's songs, so I guess you're hagless. Well, I'm not too sure that burning a cloth is a crime. Oh, I know you burned your flag but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine. CHORUS: My flag flies in my heart and it flies in my mind. It's not just a rag that came off an assembly line. Each man must think what he thinks and must live in his time. I know you burned your flag, but I'm sure glad you couldn't burn mine. The American flag is a symbol of freedom of choice. Raisin' the flag is the same thing as raisin' your voice. A freak or a preacher, we all have the right to be heard. You can't burn my song cause a song is just music and words. CHORUS It's funny that burning a symbol could cause such a flap. 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 while we're about it we might burn the freedom of speech. CHORUS |
