Live Introduction By Toby Of 'courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (the Angry American)' Lyrics - Toby Keith

How many Americans do we have in here tonight? 

(the crowd cheers) 

In the days following september 11th last year 

everybody that was a poet or a writer or a song writer of any kind 

Had a reason to write some words down or thoughts down on a peice of paper 

and i was no diffirent thats what you do when i do 

and my father served in the army in the 50s he lost his right eye in a training 

combat mission he came home he put a flag up on the farm i was raised on i lost 

him six months prior to the attacks on New York City and The United States and 

that flag that flew out in that yard its flown there everyday he raised me 

right and he never bitched one time about loseing his eye i never heard him cry 

about it one time he was glad to go do it and thats why were free today and its 

our turn to stand on what our fathers and forefathers did for us and make sure 

we don't let'em down
