Battle Flag

Well they said that I took too many head shots
Said that the saw the blood run down
Said that my body cracked and hit the ground

Did you see how fast they scattered
When I stood and I let the left hook fly
Bet that they saw the embers in my eyes

I'm not running in circles, chasing the air
Or hiding in shadows, shivering scarred
I got a fight to finish

Make my home with the rebels, run with the free
Pushing the mountains into the sea
I'm gonna stand and face this

Well, I heard that they saw my ship surrender
Heard that I dropped my battle flag
Heard I've been sleeping in a body bag

Well, I wonder how fast they dropped and hit the deck
When they heard my cannon roar
Wonder how many washed up on the shore

Well, they should have known

I'm not running in circles, chasing the air
Or hiding in shadows, shivering scarred
I got a fight to finish

Make my home with the rebels, run with the free
Pushing the mountains into the sea
I'm gonna stand and face this
I got a fight to finish

I've got my failures in the rear view
I've got my pedal to the floor
I left the traitors at the state line
They're not my problem anymore

I've got my failures in the rear view
I've got my pedal to the floor
I left the traitors at the state line
They're not my problem anymore

Well, I carved a promise in my left arm
You'll never find me backing down
I'll stay defiant and determined
Until they put me in the ground
Until they put me in the ground
