That Ain't Gonna Be Me

(album: Enlisted - 2023)

Some folks believe their TV's like the bible
They think the anthem is just another song
They won't teach their kids to shoot their granddad's rifle
Some don't respect the dirt that they walk on

Well, that ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my hand up
I'm gonna stand up
For what I believe
That ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my boot down
Let god stand my ground
'Til they bury me
If you're looking for a man to give you an apology
Well, that ain't gonna be me

I see folks that think the whole world owes them something
They look down the nose at those with calloused hands
When a sister, or a brother, or some stranger is in trouble
They turn their head like they don't give a damn

Well, that ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my hand up
I'm gonna stand up
For what I believe
That ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my boot down
Let god stand my ground
'Til they bury me
I won't apologize for loving god and my country and my family
Well, that ain't gonna be me

Someone got no respect to pride for the flag that so many died for

Well, that ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my hand up
I'm gonna stand up
For what I believe
That ain't gonna be me
I ain't gonna back down
I ain't gonna tap out
'Til they bury me
I won't apologize for me and all that I can be
Well, that ain't gonna be me
That ain't gonna be me
That ain't gonna be me
