[Intro]
Boots hit the floor
Bible on the dash
Flag on the porch
Heart beating fast (hey!)
[Verse 1]
I lace up, sun’s just climbing
Sweat’s already on my brow
Got a whole lot of weight I’m fighting
And a whole lot of faith right now
Stars and stripes on this old T-shirt
Cross hanging where my chest beats strong
I’ve been broken, I’ve been hurt
But grace keeps pushing me on (pushing me on)
[Chorus]
I raise that red, white, and praise
Hands up high, I ain’t ashamed
Got a free-born heart
And a fire in my veins
For the land I love
And the God who saves
When the world feels heavy
And the night gets crazy
I just stomp, clap, shout His name
Raise that red, white, and praise (oh yeah)
Raise that red, white, and praise
[Verse 2]
Truck tires rolling past cornfields
Church sign flashing “Do not fear”
I remember every brave soul
That bought this freedom we hold dear
So I run that mile for the fallen
Lift that bar for the ones still gone
Every rep feels like I’m calling
“Lord, keep my country strong” (yeah)
[Chorus]
I raise that red, white, and praise
Hands up high, I ain’t ashamed
Got a free-born heart
And a fire in my veins
For the land I love
And the God who saves
When the world feels heavy
And the night gets crazy
I just stomp, clap, shout His name
Raise that red, white, and praise
Raise that red, white, and praise
[Bridge]
From the backroads to the big sky
From the city to the small-town choir
We were born for more than just getting by
We were born to run on holy fire (holy fire)
So when you’re tired, when you’re hurting
When your knees feel like they’re gonna break
Lift your eyes, keep your heart working
Every breath is one more thanks
[Chorus]
I raise that red, white, and praise
Hands up high, I ain’t ashamed
Got a free-born heart
And a fire in my veins
For the land I love
And the God who saves
When the world feels heavy
And the night gets crazy
I just stomp, clap, shout His name
Raise that red, white, and praise
Raise that red, white, and praise
[Outro]
One more mile
One more day
One more prayer
I’m on my way (hey!)
To raise that red, white, and praise
