[Intro]
I was born an American man
Born to die on American land
And if you think I'm goin' easy
Boy, you're beatin' the band

[Verse 1]
I'm a modern-day compatriot
Just a few drinks over the idiot
And if you think I'm goin' easy
Read the new caveat
And if there's any question
'Bout where you should bury me
I'm west of fading
'Cross the GWB

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we're right at home
Right where we belong
Head south down the GSP
And you'll find me
And you'll find me
Standing in Jersey, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, write my name in ashes
Bеlow that tattered flag
You can write my namе in ashes
My heart is in that rag
Oh, write my name in ashes
Below that tattered flag
You can write my name in ashes
My heart is in that rag
In that rag
[Verse 2]
I was born, given my father's name
And I carry it with no shame
So, I'm not buyin'
If you're sellin' out someone to blame
And if there's any question
'Bout where you should bury us
Listen for the engines
We're under the cloud of dust

[Pre-Chorus]
And we're not layin' down
Not for a fuckin' clown
Head west into the sun
And you'll find us
And you'll find us
Standing Chaly proud

[Chorus]
You can write my name in ashes
Below that tattered flag
You can write my name in ashes
Oh, my heart is in that rag
Oh, write my name in ashes
Below that tattered flag
You can write my name in ashes
Oh, my heart is in that rag
In that rag
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Refrain]
I was born an American man
Born to die on American land
And if you think I'm goin' easy
Boy, you're beatin' the band

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Writin' my name in ashes
Below that tattered flag
You can write my name in ashes
My heart is in that rag
Write my name in ashes
Below that tattered flag
Write my name in ashes
My heart is in that rag
Write my name in ashes
Below that tattered flag
Write my name in ashes
My heart is in that rag

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
