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
