Lyrics:

My old man’s that old man,Spent his life livin’ off the landDirty hands, and a clean soulIt breaks his heart seein’ foreign carsFilled with fuel that isn’t oursAnd wearin’ cotton we didn’t grow
He’s got the red, white,And blue flyin’ high on the farmSemper fi tattooed on his left armSpends a little more in the store for a tagIn the back that says U.S.A.He won’t buy nothin’ that he can’t fixWith WD Forty and a Craftsman wrenchHe ain’t prejudice he’s just, made in America
Loves his wife, she’s that wifeThat decorates on the fourth of JulyBut says, “Every day’s Independence Day”She’s golden rule, teaches schoolSome folks say it isn’t coolBut she says the Pledge of Allegiance anyway
He’s got the red, white, and blue flyin’ high on the farmSemper fi tattooed on his left armSpends a little more in the store for a tagIn the back that says U.S.A.He won’t buy nothin’ that he can’t fixWith WD Forty and a Craftsman wrenchHe ain’t prejudice he’s just, made in America
Born in the heartland, raised up a familyKing James and Uncle Sam
Got the red, white, and blue flyin’ high on the farmSemper fi tattooed on his left armSpends a little more at the store for a tagIn the back that says U.S.A.Won’t buy nothin’ that he can’t fixWith WD Forty and a Craftsman wrenchHe ain’t prejudice he’s just, made in AmericaMade in America, made in America
Yeah my old man’s that old man,Made in America
