[Verse 1]
Flag on a front porch
Paint peeling off that old screen door
Granddad's boots by the welcome mat
Been through worse than this before
High school field on a Friday night
Rust on the bleachers, bugs in the lights
We stand up, hats off, hearts tight
Sing along, wrong words, still right
[Chorus]
Here's to the backroads and red, white, blue
From the cornfields out to the ocean view
From the diner cooks to the downtown crews
We all got a story, stitched in our shoes
It ain't perfect, but it's ours to prove
That's my country
That's my United States of America
[Verse 2]
Mama worked doubles
Coffee, prayers, and pickup trucks
Neighbor mows the widow's yard
“Pay me back with a little luck”
Big city skyline, small town fair
Different accents, same kind of care
We argue loud, but when it breaks bad
We’re side by side, shoulder to flag
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Fifty stars on a midnight sky
Fifty ways to live this life
Different roads, same sunrise
Same hope in a child's eyes
[Chorus]
