And I’ll do unto you as you do unto me.
I remember pledging allegiance to the flag
As a young boy growing up in Acton
Massachusetts had the distinct honor
At 7years old to run alongside a group
Of Acton Militia running miles to the
Concord Bridge to reenact the first shots
Fired in the Revolutionary War…. It was
A transforming event that struck deep
In my heart.
The British in their Red Coats white stripes
Bostonians are historical fanatics
And deeply steeply red white blue
Beans beer proud.
I am still running that fight from the
West coast that culture here is removed
From that intense Patriotic Spirit
I share with you cause your close in age
And mind set
Always willing to fight the Empire
And that’s just what’s to transpire
Freedom requires body heart soul
To be left to peacefully prosper on
Your own land free of interference
The Captain at the Bridge said don’t
Fire till ya see the whites of their eyes
And since Mamm I tell I am a Scotsman
I was born to fight
Born to fight the English from way back
Begotten before night
And that’s all true I was one lucky lil
Fucker I had a great life.
1969 AM radio long gone innocence
Before all of this life was simpler
Happy 4th to a day we might all be free!
1969 it was trying to find a way to fit
In play little league camping picnics
Street gangs of kids before cars before
Work frisbee school and girls and
Her lipstick pink and life was innocent
Gone blink.
