American Pride

(album: Justice - 2010)

I was in Fernandina
When a lady caught my eye
She was perfect standing all alone
In the early evening light
All eyes were upon her as she moved across the floor
Had to do my best 'cause everyone had failed before

Got that American Pride
With that Southern Style
Born and bred something deep inside

Got that American Pride
With that Southern Style
Hatchet born and bred baby deep inside

Knew she had the power
The power to stop my heart
Or call the Heads of State to start the third world war
I asked would you like to have a drink
She licked her lips and smiled and winked
So I rolled the dice and I bellied up to the bar
Looking fine as you can be delighted with your company

Got that American Pride
With that Southern Style
Born and bred something deep inside

Got that American Pride
With that Southern Style
Hatchet born and bred baby deep inside

Lord have mercy

We were drinking and a dancing baby all night long (uh huh)
When they finally had to close the place down (ya'II have fun)
Then she looked at me and said
I just wanna go home (did ya get any)
But I don't want to go there alone... HELL YEAH!!!

Got that American Pride
With that Southern Style
Born and bred something deep inside

Got that American Pride
With that Southern Style
Hatchet born and bred baby deep inside
