Live Introduction By Toby Of "Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (The Angry American)" - Toby Keith

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 that’s 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 it’s 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 that’s why were free today and

it’s

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

We don’t let’em down

I wrote a song in the following days after september 11th it’s called The Angry

American and i wanna send this out to my father tonight
