[Verse 1]
Cutoff shorts, tank top tan
Cooler in the back of that old white van
Sun so bright it’s makin’ us high
Nothing on the schedule but the clear blue sky
[Chorus]
This is America, out by the pool
Hot days, cold drinks, breakin’ all the rules (hey!)
No work, all play, let the hours slide
Red cup raised on the Fourth of July
This is America, this is our song
Bare feet, good friends, all night long
If freedom had a feeling, it’d feel like this
Cannonballs, cheap beer, sunburnt kiss
[Verse 2]
Grill smoke rollin’ through the backyard air
Kids run wild, sparklers everywhere
Granddad laughin’ in that old lawn chair
Says, “These are the moments, better stay right here”
[Chorus]
This is America, out by the pool
Hot days, cold drinks, breakin’ all the rules
No work, all play, let the hours slide
Red cup raised on the Fourth of July
This is America, this is our song
Bare feet, good friends, all night long
If freedom had a feeling, it’d feel like this
Cannonballs, cheap beer, sunburnt kiss
[Bridge]
Yeah, the world’s got worries, they can wait till Monday
Right now it’s just sunscreen and stories on the runway
Of lawn chairs, floaties, fireworks in the trunk
Every little laugh sayin’, “We’re the lucky ones” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
This is America, out by the pool
Hot days, cold drinks, breakin’ all the rules
No work, all play, let the hours slide
Red cup raised on the Fourth of July
This is America, this is our song
Bare feet, good friends, all night long
If freedom had a feeling, it’d feel like this
Cannonballs, cheap beer, sunburnt kiss
