Story Behind The Song
The government is trying to take more and more constitutional rights away from the American people - the right to bear arms, the right to own property without fear of having it taken away from them with the stroke of a pen under pressure from Washington D.C. and the Confederate Flag is a symbol of heritage and pride from an era when men stood their ground and defended what belonged to them. The song is symbolic. The term "Bang Bang" is like a call to rally and defend our rights with every thing we have. It is a red neck song and one that many Americans can relate to regardless of their position above or below the Mason Dixon Line. It is also an inspiration for people in other countries who are also losing their rights. Even the 3 minutes and 57 seconds - the length of the song is symbolic.
Song Description
Southern Man will stand up for his rights to defend his family and land and the right to bear arms, and fly his state and confederate flags. No one will take these rights from him without paying a price.

Lyrics
BANG BANG
Music & Lyrics by Joe Norman
Some people don't like my rebel stars and bars.
They want to burn my red white and blue."
And when the day is done, they wanna take away from gun,
Me and my 44 got something for You!
Bang! Bang!"
We're gonna go...Bang! Bang!"
So hear me my brother, Southern Love is our Mother,
But our Daddy is the rebel gun that keeps up free.
They can tear our flag down and burn it the ground -
But they'll never take my gun or my southern pride from me!
From Arkansas to Louisiana, to sweet home Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee....
Say Fat Cat, Bureaucrat, Yankee Go Home!
Leave our Rebel Flag and our guns alone or there gonna be hell to pay!
Bang! Bang!"
From Arkansas to Louisiana, to Sweet Home Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee....
Say Fat Cat, Bureaucrat, Yankee Go Home!
Leave our Rebel Flag and our guns alone
Or there gonna be hell to pay!
Bang! Bang!"
Were gonna go Bang, Bang!
So hear me my brother, Southern Love is our Mother,
But our daddy is the rebel gun that keeps up free.
Southern man gonna take a stand, when they come to steal his land
You ain't taking my gun or my Dixie Land from me!
