Granddaddy came back from war with a purple heart and a couple scars
A lot more like him out there never made it home but they ain't gone
And old glory don't ever get old, she's the greatest story's ever been told
You can try but you can't take it, can't break this American spirit
That red, white and blue
It's flying for freedom
For me and for you
It's what I believe in
This country I love
That American spirit
Runs in our blood (that American spirit)
(That American spirit)
(That American spirit)
To the service members and the brave defenders
The up at downers and the first responders
The earn your stripers and the give you lifers
All runnin' on
American spirit
That red, white and blue
It's flying for freedom
For me and for you
It's what I believe in
This country I love
That American spirit
Runs in our blood (that American spirit)
Yeah, it runs in our blood
(That American spirit)
Oh, in every big city, in all the small towns
Hats come off when the flag come out
Every mom and pop shop is flyin' 'em proud
Because you can't take down
American spirit
That red, white and blue
It's flying for freedom
For me and for you
It's what I believe in
This country I love
That American spirit
Runs in our blood (that American spirit)
Oh, in every big city, in all the small towns
Hats come off when the flag come out
Every mom and pop shop is flyin' 'em proud
Because you can't take down American spirit
That American spirit (that American spirit)
