That's The Thing About America Lyrics - Montgomery Gentry

Wanna know what Uncle Joe thinks? 

We oughta take them tanks and guns and bombs 

And load them planes and get them boys and girls on home 

That gets my dad mad, boiling red 

Revved up vein poppin' outta his head 

Sayin' you pull out now, you shame the ones 

Who fought and bled and came home dead 

For your right to gripe, left to right 

Then momma shouts, boys hush your mouth 

Grab a plate and bow your heads 

And be thankful when the grace is said 'cause...

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

That's the thing about America 

You can dream or do or say what you wanna 

You can run it down if you can back it up 

You can burn the flag or be the man 

Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned 

If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread 

On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red 

That's the thing about America 

Now the coffee and the TV's on 

And we're eating the pie handed down 

From my grandma's side from her grandma 

When she arrived back in '25 

She tells us all again 

How her mom came off of that big boat 

With all them folks all skin and bones 

And an angry mob sayin' go back home 

Photos 

Now the anchorman says they're making plans 

Fencing up the Rio Grande 

Aunt Kitty drops her fork and shouts Amen 

And granny says hell just let 'em all in 

That's the thing about America 

You can dream or do or say what you wanna 

You can run it down if you can back it up 

You can burn the flag or be the man 

Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned 

If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread 

On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red 

That's the thing about America 

That's the thing about America 

You can dream or do or say what you wanna 

You can run it down if you can back it up 

You can burn the flag or be the man 

Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned 

If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread 

On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red 

That's the thing about America 

That's the thing about America
