[Verse 1]
This old country's been divided
Since the day she drew her first breath
Folks have been arguing at kitchen tables
And on courthouse steps
Everybody's got an answer
Everybody's sure they're right
But freedom means we're gonna disagree
From time to time
[Pre-Chorus]
You can raise your voice and make your case
Stand your ground and hold your line
But when the shouting's finally over
We're still neighbors when the sun comes up
[Chorus]
If you love this country, stay and fight
Not with your fists but with your mind
Pull up a chair and bring your reasons
Leave a little pride behind
We don't have to think alike
To walk beneath the same blue sky
If you love this country, stay and fight
[Verse 2]
Some folks threaten they'll be leaving
Every time the vote don't go their way
Packing bags in angry speeches
Till the headlines fade away
But this land gave all of us a chance
To rise or fall and make our mark
You don't fix a house by running from it
When the paint begins to crack
[Pre-Chorus]
The easy road is walking out
The harder road is seeing it through
Sitting down across the table
With someone who disagrees with you
[Chorus]
If you love this country, stay and fight
Not with your fists but with your mind
Pull up a chair and bring your reasons
Leave a little pride behind
We don't have to think alike
To walk beneath the same blue sky
If you love this country, stay and fight
[Bridge]
The founders knew we'd wrestle with it
Every generation does
Trying to balance what we want
With what is good for all of us
The work ain't done, it never will be
That's the burden and the prize
A nation isn't built by quitters
It's built by those who stay and try
[Pre-Chorus]
The easy road is walking out
The harder road is seeing it through
Sitting down across the table
With someone who disagrees with you
[Final Chorus]
If you're hurting, if you're angry
If you think the country's lost its way
Don't disappear into the distance
Don't throw your voice away
Take a seat, we'll hear you out
You're still one of us tonight
If you love this country, stay and fight
[Outro]
Yeah, pull up a chair beside us
There's room around the firelight
If you love this country
Stay and fight
