Riley Green And Audience Cheer For Precious Baby At A Concert
In the middle of covering Toby Keith’s “Courtesy Of The Red, White, And Blue (The Angry American),” Riley Green took a moment to highlight one of the least angry members of the audience.
“I’ve gotta take a second,” Riley started, “we’ve got the most patriotic baby I’ve ever seen.”
The audience at the June 19 concert in Franklin, Tennessee, then cheered as Riley exclaimed, “Hold that baby up again!”
Wearing headphones, the baby was content as could be, soaking up the various sights and sounds of the show as all eyes turned to him.
“That baby’s an American,” Riley declared.
This then compelled the audience to chant, “U-S-A! U-S-A!”
Then, without missing a beat, Riley and his band picked up where they left off, with Riley singing Toby’s immortal words, “‘Cause we’ll put a boot in your a**, it’s the American way.”
