The Flag, The Bible, & Bill Monroe

I'm a simple man, not one to ever get above my raising
Not a now it all, keep my nose out of other people's business
But I'll gladly share all I know
Bout the Flag, the Bible, and Bill Monroe

I'm a lucky guy, I'm safe guarded by the constitution
And I'm thankful, for the uniformed protectors of our freedom
So I won't forget the Alamo
The Flag, the Bible, and Bill Monroe

Show respect for where you came from
Ones who paved the way for me and you
You'll be bound to plagiarize disaster
If you don't seek out the truth
And take some time to know
Bout the Flag, the Bible, and Bill Monroe

Let's talk legends, Garcia, the man in black and Elvis Presley
They had a hero too, He was a high lonesome singer from Kentucky
And he wrote songs we all know
Bout the Flag, the Bible, and Bill Monroe

But there's one thing, sits at the top of my totem pole
My salvation, I surely don't deserve it but I'm grateful
God was generous enough to bestow
The Flag, the Bible, and Bill Monroe

Show respect for where you came from
Ones who paved the way for me and you
You'll be bound to plagiarize disaster
If you don't seek out the truth
So take some time to know
Bout the Flag, the Bible, and Bill Monroe

I give my heart and soul
To the Flag, the Bible, and Bill Monroe
