Freedom ain't free, and we're going to have to show the world, again, that this country suffers no tyrants. The rest of the world needs to follow our example. IMO.
I'm a retired military guy. I was trying to write a song about my frustration with this country and their support for Socialism. But I could never compare to the passion, the beauty of this song! Thank you Aaron Lewis for putting down in words, and wonderful melody, and the heart-felt frustration we all have! Damn! What a great song!
Yes. Been there. And yes, some times there are times when we face the world feeling alone. But God will come through for you and show you how you helped the USA. God love you. @@rundogrun297
I am a retired Soldier, I served 2 tours in Iraq, a tour in Kosovo, a tour in Bosnia. You are not the only one who feels this way. I am willing to bleed for this country to help my son have a better life. I do believe this nation is under attack from the inside. We will have to fight in order to right this country. I told my wife that people should stop and take notice when songs like this come out. People are starting to wake up to what is going on, but its slow going. Great song, I hope you come back to Georgia real soon.
I agree, this is abject madness and a reckoning is coming. I don't know how its going to happen but if the recent election fraud of millions upon millions of votes is any indication it won't come at the ballot box. The fact is these radicals are not getting elected. And likely have not been for 20 years.
I heard this on the radio this morning and sat in my car and cried. My dad retired as a major first sergeant from the army. He is my American Hero. Served in Desert Storm and 2 tours to Afghanistan. Thank you to all the men and women who fought for old glory and all of us. I personally am forever grateful for each and everyone of you. Have a safe and Happy Independence Day!!! 🗽🇺🇸
Not to be too nitpicky but major first sergeant isn't a thing only first sergeant or a major... they're both totally different ranks in the army... ones an officer the other is a non commissioned officer... no disrespect meant or n e thing just wanted to correct you is all... I served as well and just wanted to say that your words mean a lot...
@@liamdude5722 There was no problem until leftists made up one. Like they make up everything else. So yeah, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you!!
@@liamdude5722 liberals are the ones trying to turn America in to any other socialist country you can pick. Why change something when Canada and Mexico are already socialist. You could follow your own advice
Yeah. I listened to the regular version before watching this version. In the regular version, it's "...there's the frickin' door!" I'm like: Surely that's not the correct lyric. I'm sure that Aaron Lewis wouldn't hold back what he really thinks.
You know... When a song hits you, brings anger, and tears to your eyes, a hurt in your heart... It's a true song. Then reading the comments, and even more tears. I'm a proud American, Patriot, and father, I will die, not giving up what my father, family, and other proud Americans fought for! By no means is this a threat, or trying to be a billy badass. This is love, appreciation, respect, and a guilt that I owe anything to help keep Americans free and the understanding why we are!🇺🇲🇺🇲
With you 100!!! Especially from folks in other countries.. I just discovered this song today, and cant quit listening to it... Over and over and over.. He's always been one of my faves, but this puts him at #1 on my list.
@@applefordguy76 This is the polished version I've been waiting for!!!! He released a version of it a few months ago home video of just him, his guitar, and a cigarette, that's when I knew he had a new anthem-like song. And fuck Bruce Springsteen!!!!
This comment section has made my year! Thank you to all the true Patriots of this world, we're a rare breed. Especially a HUGE thank you to all the vets reading this. I never comment on videos, but there was no way I was missing the opportunity to possibly thank thousands of veterans at the same time. God bless each and every one of you. From my Red, White, and Blue family to yours, Happy Patriotism. 🇺🇸💪
I'm an older forever, Patriot, female. Raising two teenagers who see what's going on. We are Christians. We are shocked by what is happening. "Justice for all." In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration. Today it reads: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Amen.
Hi there, how are you.. I decided to reach out to my followers without being monitored by my management or anyone so i decided to create this parody account and i happen to come across your profile. This is my little way of saying thank you from my heart, I appreciate your love and support over the years, Stay blessed. 💐🌹
Folks We have return to our Lord and Savior . Evil is destroying our lives and families and country. Jesus Christ is the answer ✝️🙏 Pray everyone !!!!!✝️🙏🙏🙏
@@burningdownthehouse161 lol you are blissfully dense aren't you?? That was nothing more than a show of following. Unlike the demoncrats paying for and supporting the BLM and the lil antifa puppets.
Count me in, too. My ancestors fought in the American Revolution. I'll be dammed if what they fought for will ever get taken away! God Bless America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As we all know for our nation to fall all that is required is for good men to stand by and do nothing and it's happening I am ready you are ready but there are not enough willing to go on and step up to the plate
I'm turning 12 in one week, I am probably the only kid in America that actually understands what is happening and understands that America is going to hell in a few years. This country NEEDS to be like it was in the 1900s. I would do anything to be born back then because I want to live in a good America, I can't believe this is my childhood, it's going to hell in America. I wish everyone would understand listen about this problem.
@@burningdownthehouse161 Bullsh*t! Go look at the timeline. The people at the Capitol could bot have been at Trump's speech in time to be the first to enter. Look it up. The official march to the Capitol was organized by Women for Trump. But jad not started when the building was already breached! The FBI had 20 people leading the first thing enter. So, look at the crooked FBI!
Its about time we have some musicians stand up and not be afraid to say these things 💪 Aaron Lewis has just gained more respect from me over the years great down to earth guy who loves his country and not afraid to stand up for it. Thank you Aaron Lewis for making music like this and I hope for more in the future
This will be on loop today with "Real American". God bless this man and everyone that support the constitution. Happy 4th of July to EVERYONE; enjoy that freedom while you have it!
I already told my wife, the constitution has to come before everything, even her and my kids, she knows what that means, but everything will be lost if were not prepared to make that sacrifice, I will for you brother for your kids future I will make that sacrifice.
@Melinda Gordon it’s not just the Democrats it’s the Republicans too it’s not about politics it’s about good vs evil and the slaves vs the masters. Once that is realized across the world we can have peace but it won’t happen because people will never fight until it’s too late.
This song is absolutely timeless. It will go down in history as one of the best. Mark my words on that, when we get through all this crap and look back, this song will be a staple of how we all felt. Thank you Aaron Lewis 🙏🙏
My father, my uncle, and three of my brothers were buried under that flag, as will I when my time comes. America was always worth fighting for, and if called on, I would serve again.
I played this the other night at my VFW post. Should of seen the looks on other veterans faces. Think it played like 10 times though out the night. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Grizz, stay loud and proud! We need more veterans like you. Pass the word and rekindle the fire. Bless you all! Your service and sacrifice has not been forgotten. God Bless America!
This song makes me realize the ground is swelling. People are beginning to act. You can feel it, in small towns, big cities, country farms, people are finally fed up enough to start acting! We must value what we have, or it will go away. Thank you Aaron, for standing up.
Wake up it’s already gone. I’m willing to fight but not for a flag that has lied to us for years. Like, we must go thousands of miles across waters to “defend freedom”. How they got people to fall for that one is beyond me. What I am willing to fight for is freedom in this country and they are quickly taking every last bit of it. Stop wars with people that ain’t hurting us and start with the ones that are
@@controlavirus9839 The flag hasn’t lied to you, traitors have. It wasn’t your country lying, it was the traitor political families who have always done they lying.
We need to be louder than the others or we silently watch it all fall apart. I wish more with bigger voices like Aaron Lewis would speak up. There’s a lot of independent artists that are becoming very successful by just speaking what everyone else feels and are to scare to speak up about. All different genres. Tom McDonald, Ryan Upchurch, Adam Calhoun, and Mesus just to name a few.
I know what you mean, but that's the wrong way to think about it. The beautiful thing about the truth is it never changes. Our constitution was written by men who had bled and braved the fires of war for the promise of freedom and all it might bring. Their principles will forever stand above the false narratives spewed out by comfortable academics in the opulence of (some) American universities.
@@mylittleelectron6606 I know you meant well but there is nothing wrong with simply acknowledging reality. And any idea that it can't or won't get worse,..or to think that America couldn't or wouldn't fall are all misplaced ideas and foster complacency. Plan for and expect the worst and only fight and hope for the best.
Keep singing your song . You are not the only one . Your song just expresses what we all feel. We need the song to play on the radio . So everyone out there has to keep promoting Aaron's song .!

Came to this country in '89 as an immigrant, I love this country so deeply. This land has given me my family, my children, my freedom. No - I'm not the only one that holds back tears when I see what's going on. I'm not the only one willing to fight.
@@pattymccoy872 I'm trying to do my part by writing songs on political topics that affects us here in Canada and in the US. If you're interested, check out "Rules for Thee" and "Propaganda War" on my channel. No pressure though! I'm not trying to spam, but to show my support for what's left of the rational world.
I'm 40 and I'm the same. I'm slowly becoming a Jaded Misanthrope because all I see around me are blind people willing to live under a boot. Any time I mention freedom they come at me like I just said the worst word anyone could possibly say.
I’m betting “I’m not the only one” who cried when they heard this song!! This is an amazing way to tell how so many of us feel!! Way to go Aaron Lewis!!!❤️🇺🇸
The us military will not be on our side when it hits our shores. You never fought with no air support , resupply , communication ,medical , the list goes on. But no never surrender.
@@robertmullen5211 Pleasure to meet you! I'm in Western Canada. Alberta to be exact! Which is known to be the Texas of Canada. We love our beef, oil and guns! We need to stand together, brother. We are both run by treasonous traitors.. you guys are our closest and best ally!! Likewise! We love our American brothers and sisters too! ❤
This made me cry wondering how my father, who fought for this country, would feel if he was alive today. They want us to feel like we are all the only ones but we are not, thank you for writing this!
My thoughts EXACTLY! I'm glad my dad didn't live to see this country in the shape it's in! I hope everyone involved get everything that's coming to them! God Bless the USA❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I just said those very words out loud a short while ago BEFORE I heard this song. I say them every single day when I see what is happening to this country and around the world. As I walk past my Dad's photos of WWII and Korean War each night before I retire, I cry and I, too, wonder what he would say today if he were alive. Sometimes I am grateful that he is not here to witness the attempted destruction of America; other times, I know full well he witnessed destruction the likes of which I can never truly fathom.
😃😃😃😃 Lauren Alaina will never make it in music industry because of her odd behavior and lousy voice! She will take any collaboration with anybody just to stay in music business. She's a loser! What a sad human being!!!
If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes and anger to your heart, you're not qualified to breathe the same air that our Armed Forces have fought and died for. God Bless you Aaron for having the testicular fortitude to publicly say what true American people are feeling
Last night I was ranting to my wife and literally saying, "I feel like I'm loosing my mind, am I the crazy one". Then this morning I hear this song for the first time on the radio. I'm 34 and no song has every resonated with me like this. I've been a fan for years, but this is amazing 👏. Keep it up Aaron!
Been waiting for a long time for this. It's too real man. Not enough Americans realize the amount of trouble that we're in, in this country. We need a solution
@Andrew Hollingshead Unfortunately for generations people have been saying that we were in "End times". Now more then ever I genuinely believe that 100%. Worse part is. There's no fucking solution. There's no plan in place or even an idea of what to do to resolve this. All the people in the country thinking they know what's right but cant stand on one thing as a nation, and I'm sad as hell to say it. There is no solution. :(
@@-bets Our founding fathers gave us the ability to reign in the power of the federal government and get the power back to the people. It’s Article 5 of the constitution. “We the People” need to get involved. Search COS and get involved if you believe in the future of our country.
The solution is you, him, her , me and all of us. Not trump not anyone but our fellow Americans is the only way this turns around. Your real answer is in the constitution. Reread it and you'll know what I'm saying. God speed brother and sisters.
@Andrew Hollingshead it's not anyone generation that's at fault,take a look at who's marching and burning our flag and cities they range from teens up to 70. This is the fault of corruption in leaders and our school system that have been indoctrinating our children since the 60s! And who do we have to blame for this corruption? Look in the mirror..... we've allowed this for years by keeping silent and not holding each other accountable for keeping to the principles of our forefathers. The only solution is to stand up an push back or stay quiet and watch this country fail. We will not survive as a country by pointing fingers and blaming others that's how they win by dividing us as along race,gender,age and political parties. " A house divided can not stand"
Wow, this song is incredible. Can I get a like for all of the men and women who have and continue to sacrifice themselves for our country and freedom. That also includes our first responders. Thanks all, and God Bless America.
Put me in tears. Have you Australia right now. I feel like I'm the only one on my town. It's bad.. God bless you guys. Don't give up arms. Please. Edit: please don't give up arms America. It's getting real
Absolutely love them all! My son was in Afghanistan. I let him be quite open with me when he shared all of his experiences there. Good and bad. Many times I wanted to tell him to stop. Couldn't. Knew he needed desperately to get things out. I have my own PTSD now. I was right there with him. I fought there too in my own way. All he shared with me, pictures he sent, the nightmares he had, loosing brothers he fought with. I have more respect for our military than I do for most things these days.
@@matt-tasticaus9565 praying for y’all! We would come fight along side y’all if we could. Y’all won’t be down for long. I’ve been praying too hard for yall. Along with a lot of Americans. Y’all are in our thoughts and prayers. We feel like y’all were the test. See what works, what doesn’t. We were seeing a lot of videos where y’all were holding the line. I wish it would have worked. Stay strong and keep fighting!
God bless you brother and thank you for my freedom and you are not the only one I will never forget the ones that fought to keep this great nation free
What a beautiful, patriotic, and true song!!! No, you are not the only one. What is happening in this country is unacceptable for the millions who love it. This country gave me and my family freedom and opportunity, I will defend it as this is what I swore when I proudly became an AMERICAN citizen. May God bless the USA, best country on Earth!!! (NO TO SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM)
@@eliteteamkiller319 Many people think that January 6th was wrong and an embarrassment. And think it is way overblown. All it did to the actual election process was delay it by like 3 hours. These same people are also embarrassed by the laughable regime in charge now. Enjoy the midterms in 2022.
@@Tusocalypse Have you read the comments here? There are people fomenting civil war all over the place. As for losing midterms, first of all, you assume that I'm some flaming left liberal. If I'm a liberal, I'm a classical liberal (e.g., a capitalist). But losing elections is part of living in what amounts to a democratic republic. We're a republic, with some elections majority rule, and some divided into regional sections. Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some. The problem is, after you've lawfully lost an election according to 50+ court cases, that you decide you're going to attempt to start a civil war. When you decide that when you lose the rules don't apply to you. These people are a deadly cancer to the American Idea. As is their leader, who _locked the damned doors to the White House_ when he left. He's such a narcissistic loser with an inferiority complex that he was willing to make the country burn to stay in power (side note: the recently released Russian intelligence report saying his inferiority complex was something they could exploit to weaken America seems spot on in hind sight). Millions of centrists voters realized this. That is why you lost. If you put someone who is mentally stable and sane on the Republican ticket, maybe you'll get my vote. But you put someone who appoints his own family members for positions of power and tries to use the Justice Department to hunt down people who say mean things about him on the internet, and yeah, I'm going to vote for a creepy old man who picked an annoying running mate.
@@eliteteamkiller319 On this thread, you are the one who brought up the capital riots and Trump. OP was just saying that he loves the country. And, you assumed that OP was OK with the capital riots. I didnt see any comment of his that he was OK or supported it but he certainly didn't say it in this thread. You also say I lost. I did lose by having Biden in office. We all are losing. But, I also lost because I didnt vote for Trump. I typically vote 3rd party when I can. You said you would vote for a stable minded republican, maybe, as a classic liberal but instead, you voted for a mentally unstable Democrat who has a terrible history as a lifetime politician and a unpopular VP that was only in it because of what she is. The capital riots were an embarrassment but what is even more embarrassing and sad are the riots that destroyed lots of private businesses and livelihoods. Not Walgreens or Walmart but Mom and Pops. That's way more disgraceful. Even if the capital rioters burned down the capital building, it would have been rebuilt without question. Can't quite say the same for the private businesses that suffered last summer for no apparent reason. If you want to talk more about subversion and dissent, we can talk about the Texas Democrats that absconded themselves because they didn't want a quorum to be held to vote on a bill under false pretenses.
@@eliteteamkiller319 LOL, says the person who voted for a radical agenda of defund the police, open borders, Critical Race Theory and the Green new idiotic deal. Good job at helping ruin the country Sparky!
As a Marine this hits home! I hope free thinking Americans wake up and realize they control our future. Don’t let those who wish to destroy our country win, fight! Semper Fi

I miss the good old days when it was ok (even expected) to love your country, but instead we're labeled as domestic terrorists. I'm "the only one" too as well as millions of others. Great song!
As a Veteran, I can’t believe what this country has become. Not only have we let our founding fathers down but everyone who fought in the War for Independence!, and every war since!! my direct bloodline got of the boat in 1713.. I’d be damn if I lay down and give up my rights, my family and others fought and died to give me and future generations, a freedom life in America! YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE!!
Even the Greatest Generation wasn't that great until it hit middle age. The same Generation that fought and won WW2 was also the same Generation that voted for a Socialist system under Franklin Roosevelt and opened the door to the current welfare state that's destroyed the traditional family structure and nearly bankrupted our country. Every government program in existence can be traced back to the New Deal and the Neo- Socialist agenda of FDR and the generation that overwhelmingly voted him 4 times in a row.
