who wrote the toby keith song about the eagles fly

Toby Keith wrote “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” , including the line about “the eagle will fly.”

The song was written in 2001 after his father’s death and the 9/11 attacks, and Keith said he wrote it in about 20 minutes.

Quick note

If you meant a different Toby Keith song, the other patriotic track people often confuse with it is “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly,” which was by Aaron Tippin, not Toby Keith.
