To the folks who need the money but won't sell the family forty
     C
Keep telling that suit and tie no

Keep the little white church, keep keeping God first
                   C                           G
Keep dragging that plow, keep the blue on your collar

       C
Rev it up, keep that rubber burned down
       Em                       G
To the ones coming home to your homecoming queen
     C
Keep making that girl's daddy proud
   Em           G
To all of y'all fighting for that flag
        C
We gon' hold it down till ya get back

And your roots in thе ground
              G                      D
Keep standing tall, the hell in your naw
