[Verse 1]
Raised on rust
Truck stop flags in the glare
Dust on boots
Hand on heart in the air
Argue loud
At the bar
At the game
Different views
Same pledge
Same name
[Pre-Chorus]
We clash
We scream
Still stand in the same crowd
We bleed
We dream
We’re cracked but we stay proud
[Chorus]
I love this fire
These open skies
Red and white and blue in my eyes
From factory floors
To crowded streets
Freedom in my lungs
With every scream
I love this fire
This wild
Loud fight
I won’t back down
I hold it tight
In the noise and the agony
I’m proud to stand in this democracy
[Verse 2]
Empty wallet
Still chasing a shot
Night shifts
Side gigs
Giving all that I’ve got
Green card
Birthright
Same long road in the rain
Different accents
But the hope sounds the same
[Pre-Chorus]
We clash
We strain
Still share the same loud song
We break
We change
We argue and stay strong
[Chorus]
I love this fire
These open skies
Red and white and blue in my eyes
From factory floors
To crowded streets
Freedom in my lungs
With every scream
I love this fire
This wild
Loud fight
I won’t back down
I hold it tight
In the noise and the agony
I’m proud to stand in this democracy
[Bridge]
Raise that banner
High above the doubt (hey!)
Rights on our sleeves
We’re gonna work it out
March in the rain
Vote in the cold
Future is ours
It will not be sold
[Chorus]
I love this fire
These open skies
Red and white and blue in my eyes
From factory floors
To crowded streets
Freedom in my lungs
With every scream
I love this fire
This wild
Loud fight
I won’t back down
I hold it tight
Born to fight and born to be
I cherish every chance
Every opportunity
[Breakdown]
(USA) we shout
We won’t be tamed
(USA) imperfect
Unashamed
(USA) still building what we’ll be
Land of the loud
Land of the free
