I'm proud to be a part of something That started long ago A southern band of brothers Bound together by the road They came from Florida, Georgia, Carolina, Tennessee With old guitars, tattoos and scars, straight from the heart of Dixie And our rebel pride
It's about pride, it's about who we are Knowing where we've been and how we've come so far From the colors that we fly down to all the reasons why Can't take away who we know we are inside It's about pride
The walls of the Fillmore East echo with the sound And Midnight Rider memories forever haunt this town From Fire on the Mountain, to the voice of Can't You See The reason Sweet Home Alabama means so much to me
It's about pride, it's about who we are Knowing where we've been and how we've come so far From the colors that we fly down to all the reasons why They can't take away who we know we are inside It's about pride ....ooh
Like a faded Southern uniform, hair has turned to gray, Now we play for all our heroes that we lost along the way But the spirit of the faithful never let the music die And there's a brand new generation to carry on our battle cry And our rebel pride
It's about pride, it's about who we are Knowing where we've been and how we've come so far From the colors that we fly down to all the reasons why The can't take away who we know we are inside Ohh, and if you wonder why the rebel flag still flies It's all about pride Yeah, it's about pride..... Yeah
