My old man's that old man, Spent his life livin' off the land Dirty hands, and a clean soul It breaks his heart seein' foreign cars Filled with fuel that isn't ours And wearin' cotton we didn't grow He's got the red, white, And blue flyin' high on the farm Semper fi tattooed on his left arm Spends a little more in the store for a tag In the back that says U.S.A. He won't buy nothin' that he can't fix With WD Forty and a Craftsman wrench He ain't prejudice he's just, made in America Loves his wife, she's that wife That decorates on the fourth of July But says, "Every day's Independence Day" She's golden rule, teaches school Some folks say it isn't cool But she says the Pledge of Allegiance anyway He's got the red, white, and blue flyin' high on the farm Semper fi tattooed on his left arm Spends a little more in the store for a tag In the back that says U.S.A. He won't buy nothin' that he can't fix With WD Forty and a Craftsman wrench He ain't prejudice he's just, made in America Born in the heartland, raised up a family King James and Uncle Sam Got the red, white, and blue flyin' high on the farm Semper fi tattooed on his left arm Spends a little more at the store for a tag In the back that says U.S.A. Won't buy nothin' that he can't fix With WD Forty and a Craftsman wrench He ain't prejudice he's just, made in America Made in America, made in America Yeah my old man's that old man, Made in America
