[Verse 1]
Sunup grind, boots laced tight
Seek haste to gravel roads and the morning light
Mighty hands shaping the universe
Let freedom ring in every calloused verse
[Pre-Chorus]
No script and no need to rehearse
You, I and everyone make the country run
Jobs to be done and we can’t moan
It’s not written, it’s just known
That’s the code this land has shown
Owning the task and wearing it proud!
[Chorus]
Work hard, keep your actions loud
Stand tall, make the nation proud
When things break, time won’t stop
Patch up the pipe and reset the clock
Raise the flag, don’t let it drop
Hold that flag for every crowd
No need for signs or a ceremony now
You’ve decrypted the code of your country’s vow
Take a bow and live it now
[Verse 2]
Men and women in uniform
Farmhands, freight lines, carriers weathering the storm
Welders in sparks, first responders sworn
Builders and crewmen, boots weather-worn
Dispatchers calling the red, white, and blue
All who keep our stripes in the fabric renewed
[Pre-Chorus]
No script and no need to rehearse
You, I and everyone make the country run
Jobs to be done and we can’t moan
It’s not written, it’s just known
That’s the code this land has shown
Owning the task and wearing it proud!
[Chorus]
Work hard, keep your actions loud
Stand tall, make the nation proud
When things break, time won’t stop
Patch up the pipe and reset the clock
Raise the flag, don’t let it drop
Hold that flag for every crowd
No need for signs or a ceremony now
You’ve decrypted the code of your country’s vow
Take a bow and live it now
[Bridge]
Give respect with every breath
To those who serve past life and death
Whose honor lifts the flag up high
In every field beneath the sky
[Final Chorus]
Work hard, keep your actions loud
Stand tall, make the nation proud
When things break, time won’t stop
Patch up the pipe and reset the clock
Raise the flag, don’t let it drop
Hold that flag for every crowd
No need for signs or a ceremony now
You’ve decrypted the code of your country’s vow
Take a bow and live it now
