I love God and the flag

And I ain't the kind to stand and brag

And I'm the kind to stand

Don't need a uniform to wear

To make the people stop and stare

'Cause, Hoss, I'll be a hero when I strike

Won't shake hands until I'm sore

Wear medals hangin' to the floor

They'll throw rocks at

Franklin and his kind

They'll say, boy,

There ain't nothin' he ain't got

But I'm gonna be a hero when I strike
