I'll never regret a minute spent raising my glass with you
For it's the blood of the coin and we bleed it through and through
From family ties and untold lies, brothers we've become
It doesn't matter if you're black or white or the background you're coming from
It's the blood of the coin
It's in the few and the proud
It's deep within our roots and we like to sing it loud
Here's a toast to all of us who choose to be true
So, raise em up, raise em high
This one's just for you
Sitting around the camp fire singing that ol' drinking song
And I'm thinkin' to myself, this is right where I belong
We come from both near and far
It's a bond that we all share
You'll always have somewhere to run and know that we care
It's the blood of the coin
It's in the few and the proud
It's deep within our roots and we like to sing it loud
Here's a toast to all of us who choose to be true
So, raise em up, raise em high
This one's just for you
We stick together no matter what, through the thick and the thin
We'll take our secrets to the grave from each and every sin
Stay out of trouble is what they said
But we never knew what that meant, but we raised some hell and had some fun
That was time well spent
It's the blood of the coin
It's in the few and the proud
It's deep within our roots and we like to sing it loud
Here's a toast to all of us who choose to be true
So, raise em up, raise em high
This one's just for you
From many friends we unite and together we shall be
The family tree keeps growing as far as the eye can see
There's no place I'd rather be on that you can bet
So here's to the nights I'll never remember with the friends I'll never forget
It's the blood of the coin
It's in the few and the proud
It's deep within our roots and we like to sing it loud
Here's a toast to all of us who choose to be true
So, raise em up, raise em high
This one's just for you
