Red White and Blue

if it weren't for thirteen stripes and 50 stars
 there wouldn't be a red, white, and blue flag, 
flying high symbolizing thirteen colony's and 
fifty states that we call America the home of the great, 
the land where we stand tall and get paid, living for freedom and 
fighting for everything we believe in, 
a lot of men and woman have been over seas, 
have giving their lives for you and me, 
for this land for this country, 
for miss America so as we stand proud 
for once and for all under god for which I stand always 
humble giving to the man, respect its how we do here 
in the red the white and the blue
