"Freedom Isn't Free" lyrics - JOHN ANDERSON

I'm proud livin' in the U.S.A.
Land of the free and home of the brave
It might not be perfect but I'll take it any day
But how long will the eagle fly
And how many mothers have to cry
'Cause so many sons and daughters died
It's always been that way

'Cause freedom isn't free, it never was and never will be
What I'm tryin' to say there's always been a price to pay
Freedom isn't free it's been passed down to you and me
But how long will it be 'cause freedom isn't free
I said freedom isn't free

There's some things goin' on across this land
Some people like me don't understand
Still we're hopin' and prayin'
That we're gonna get things right
Where I come from there's an unwritten law
You don't back a man up against a wall
Everybody answer to the call
When it's time to fight

'Cause freedom isn't free, it never was and never will be
What I'm tryin' to say there's always been a price to pay
Freedom isn't free, no, it's been passed down to you and me
But how long will it be 'cause freedom isn't free
I said freedom isn't free

But freedom isn't free, it never was and never will be
What I'm tryin' to say there's always been a price to pay
Freedom isn't free, no, it's been passed down to you and me
But how long will it be 'cause freedom isn't free
I said freedom isn't free
You know, freedom isn't free, no, no, no
