[Verse 1]
Red dirt on my old blue jeans
Highway hum and a radio dream
Singing along to a song I don’t know
Still feels like home though
Bleachers shake when the town lights glow
Marching band in a slow-roll show
Every helmet shining under that sky
Feels like we all can fly
[Chorus]
I love America
Loud and clear
Hands to the heavens
Right now
Right here
Proud of the fight on the Friday night field
Every yard gained
Every heartbreak healed
I love America
That wild
Wide grin
Where freedom starts deep down within
Turn it up
Let the whole world hear
I love America
Loud and clear
[Verse 2]
Dad’s old jacket on my back
Faded patch
Little torn-up flag
Tells a story that he won’t say much
But I feel it in his touch
Tailgate smoke and a paper cup
Friends I grew with
We’re all grown up
Still we shout when the kickoff flies
Like we’re kids under those lights
[Chorus]
I love America
Loud and clear
Hands to the heavens
Right now
Right here
Proud of the fight on the Friday night field
Every yard gained
Every heartbreak healed
I love America
That wild
Wide grin
Where freedom starts deep down within
Turn it up
Let the whole world hear
I love America
Loud and clear
[Bridge]
From small-town streets to the big-coast waves
From old soul records to the brand-new days
We don’t agree on everything
That’s true
But I’m free to stand right here and sing with you (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I love America
Loud and clear
Hands to the heavens
Right now
Right here
Proud of the fight on the Friday night field
Every yard gained
Every heartbreak healed
I love America
That wild
Wide grin
Where freedom starts deep down within
Turn it up
Let the whole world hear
I love America
Loud and clear
