Country's Greatest Patriotic Songs: No. 4

'In America,'
Charlie Daniels (1980)

Proudest Lines: "We'll all stick together, and you can take that to the bank/That's the cowboys and the hippies and the Rebels and the Yanks"

Daniels wrote this song in reaction to the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. Ever the proud American, the famed fiddler also wrote a song called 'This Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag,' in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

I believe that Charlie Daniels wrote the song " it aont a rag it's a flag" well before 9-11. But I think he may have rededicated to the events of 9-11 as a source of inspiration to all whom are fighting or whom where just angry as hell. As I know he must have been.
