My granddady 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, ooh)
(That American spirit, ooh)
(That American spirit)
To the service members and the brave defenders
The up at dawners and the first responders
The earn your stripers and the give your lifers
All running 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, ooh)
Yeah, it runs in our blood (ooh)
(That American spirit)
Oh, in every big city, in all the small towns
Hats come off when the flags come out
Every mom and pop shop is flying 'em proud
'Cause 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 (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 flags come out
Every mom and pop shop is flying 'em proud
'Cause you can't take down
That American spirit
That American spirit (American spirit)
