A song I wrote out of frustration at people's willful ignorance and my 15 minutes of fame on the John Boy and Billy Big Show.
Singer/Songwriter
I'm a singer/songwriter.
Story behind the song
Written to show how willfully ignorant people can be and how the left tries to rewrite history.
Lyrics
THE SOUTH’LL RISE AGAIN
J. Michael Tracy male/uptempo
Across this land of Dixie, for whom our fathers died
They’re marching in their ignorance to kill our southern pride
They’ve never even taken time to try and understand
The meanin of this Battle Flag to the southern man
To them the truth means nothing though it’s been clear to see
The flag our fathers died for, was not for slavery
The taxes and the tariffs and making their own laws
The rape of our economy became the final straw
The Papers and the TV portray the southern man
A racist and a bigot anytime they can
They try to change our history but we ain’t gonna bend
This Battle Flag’s forever and The South will rise again
Again
When our country needs us to help them save the world
No one holds a candle to a Southern Boy or Girl
Don’t try to change our heritage cause one can never tell
Just when you’re claimin victory you’re gonna hear--- the Rebel Yell
(chorus)
(2n’d half chorus)
Don’t try and change our history cause we ain’t gonna bend
This Battle Flag’s forever and The South will rise again
Again
