Fight Like A Son Lyrics - Singles - Amanda Overmyer

I was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas 

Daddy worked his fingers to the bone 

Building missiles to save us all 

He told me freedom is a blessing 

But to fight is not the place for you 

Just keep God and family first, 

And bleed red white and blue 

And as the fighter pilots flew over my head 

I recognized the words my daddy said 

He said: 

Baby theres lots of change to go 

But every year Im proud to see this nation grow 

Well I said, Uncle Sam aint ready for a girl behind a gun 

But this proud leatherclad rider 

Can fight like a son 

Fight Like A Son 

Riding down the road 

My head it drifts away 

I think of how many young men died 

So I can view what I see today 

How can I advocate the overwhelming pride? 

Whats the way? 

So Im sharing a piece of advice that made me what I am today 

And as the fighter pilots flew over my head 

I recognized the words my daddy said 

He said: 

Baby theres lots of change to go 

But every year Im proud to see this nation grow 

Well I said, Uncle Sam aint ready for a girl behind a gun 

But this proud leatherclad rider 

Can fight like a son 

Fight Like A Son 

Listen to what I say as I cry in the night 

Hope and prayer can go a long way but it wont make it right 

So stand up, stand strong, while we hold it together at home 

Fire up them engines girls, show a woman is just as strong 

And as the fighter pilots flew over my head 

I recognized the words my daddy said 

He said: 

Baby theres lots of change to go 

But every year Im proud to see this nation grow 

Well I said, Uncle Sam aint ready for a girl behind a gun 

But this proud leatherclad rider 

Can fight like a son 

Fight Like A Son
