Red, white, and blue turning 250, look at you
(Verse 1)
There’s a flag on a porch in a small-town breeze,
Granddaddy’s boots by the old oak tree,
Stories carved in the lines on his face,
‘Bout freedom won and amazing grace.
From dusty roads to city lights,
We’ve held that torch through the darkest nights,
Two hundred fifty years still standin’ tall,
Yeah, this land’s been through it all.
(Chorus)
Red, white, and blue, still flyin’ high,
Through the tears we’ve cried and the battles we’ve survived,
From the first brave step to the dreams we pursue,
It’s more than colors, it’s me and you.
Raise it up, let the whole world see,
Ain’t no doubt what it means to be free,
Two-five-oh and we’re stronger than we knew,
Oh, red, white, and blue.
(Verse 2)
Mama’s prayin’ for a soldier overseas,
While a kid waves a sparkler on the Fourth of July street,
Church bells ring and the choir sings,
For the hope that tomorrow brings.
We ain’t perfect, but we’re still tryin’,
Still reachin’ higher, still unified,
Through every storm, we find our way,
That’s the American way.
(Chorus)
Red, white, and blue, still flyin’ high,
Through the tears we’ve cried and the battles we’ve survived,
From the first brave step to the dreams we pursue,
It’s more than colors, it’s me and you.
Raise it up, let the whole world see,
Ain’t no doubt what it means to be free,
Two-five-oh and we’re stronger than we knew,
Oh, red, white, and blue.
(Bridge)
From thirteen stars to fifty bright,
We’ve kept that flame of freedom alive,
Every voice, every hand, every heart that believes,
Is a part of this legacy.
(Final Chorus)
Red, white, and blue, forever we’ll stand,
On the shoulders of those who built this land,
Through the highs and lows, we’ll see it through,
With faith in what’s tried and true.
Raise it up, let it wave so proud,
Hear the freedom ring out loud,
Two hundred fifty, and we’re just breakin’ through,
Oh, red, white, and blue.
(Outro)
Yeah, red, white, and blue…
Still me and you.
