Completely inspired by the tragic events of 9-11. And the events of that day - in my life.
To the ol' homeless vet., in Augusta Ga., who happened to be an African-American, and inspired me on the second verse of this song.

V1
Hey we're red, yellow, black and white.
Southern born rebels and proud yanks.
Baptist, Catholics, sinners and saints,
gone' stand together, in this fight.
Chorus
'Cause it's American Blood,
that flows through our veins.
And Lord, the sound of freedom's,
beating in our hearts.
Yea, our American Blood's
been shed so peace reigns.
And our American Blood
will shed, so peace reigns.
V2
Homeless black man, done got the news.
Heard terror's done fell, from the sky.
Cart in hand, dawned in stars -n- stripes.
Ol' Vet knows what we got to do.
Chorus
'Cause it's American Blood,
that flows through his viens.
And Lord, the sound of freedom's,
beating in his heart.
Yea, his American Blood's
been shed, so peace reigns.
And our American Blood
will shed, so peace reigns.
V3
Cherokee Chief, counsel his braves.
On this morn', the red sun has rose;
on our Trail of Tears, from moons gone.
Stand my brothers, unite this day.
Chorus
'Cause it's American Blood,
that flows through their viens;
and the running buffalo,
beating in their hearts.
Yea, our American Blood's
been shed so peace reigns.
And our American Blood
will shed, so peace reigns.
