Real American Lyrics
I am a real American fight for the rights of every man
Im a real American
fight for what's right fight for your life
When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside
you gotta take a stand
it dont hurt to hide
if you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride i gotta be a man i cant let it slide
Chorus
I am a real American fight for the rights of every man
Im a real American
fight for what's right fight for your life
I feel strong about right and wrong
I dont take trouble for very long
Ive got something deep inside of me courage is the thing that sets us free
Repeat chorus x 2
If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride I gotta be a man i cant let
it slide
Repeat chorus x 4 til fade
Im a real American
fight for what's right fight for your life
you gotta take a stand
it dont hurt to hide
if you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride i gotta be a man i cant let it slide
I am a real American fight for the rights of every man
Im a real American
fight for what's right fight for your life
I dont take trouble for very long
Ive got something deep inside of me courage is the thing that sets us free
it slide

This is Hulk Hogan's WWF/WWE theme from the 80's. It means i'm going to be a hulkamaniac 4-lilfe. and WHATCHA GUNNA DO... BROTHER?!
Haha, I still mark out when I hear this song. It brings me back to the time when Hulkamania ran wild BROTHER.
Even in 2005, Hulk STILL rules. The prayers and the vitamins brother, whatcha gonna do!
Hulk hogan was and is going to be the best wrestler ever... and HBK is going to die at summer slam... sorry about that lol... love wrestling. I remember growing up watching the cartoons he made and i had almost every product made for Hulk Hogan i remember having his back pack in grade 1 and 2 and having his bandana, and having a little stuffed thing that i always used to fight with and i still got like 20 differant toys of him... hes a god... but this song to me means... dont be ashamed of what you are stand up for what you are... and if you stand down your making us look bad... the song seems too countryish to me till the chours.
Hilarious video.
i love this tune. cheesy as hell, but i just cant stop myself from head banging when the guitar kicks in for the first time. its just a classic music moment.
This song really gets me excited. I still get goosebumps listening to this song.
Love this song. But you have some of the lyrics down incorrectly. Below are the correct lyrics.
