[Verse 1]
July Fourth in the yard
Smoke on the grill, sky goes hard
Kids with sparklers, red-white shoes
Old men laughing, front-porch views
Paper plates, cold cans, big old grin
Fifty stars and the roofline lit
We came up loud, we came up free
Still got that fire in you and me
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drumline roll
Feel that whole block rise
Hands up high tonight
Under that open sky
[Chorus]
Two-fifty, baby
Thank you, America
Two-fifty, baby
You made us feel so strong
I love America
I love America
Raising up that banner
All night long
[Verse 2]
A little worn, a little scarred
But your heart still beats so hard
From the river bend to the county line
Every back road sings your name just fine
From the diner floor to the marching band
From the cornfield dust to the boardwalk sand
Every voice in the summer heat
Keeps that same old honest beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drumline roll
Feel that whole block rise
Hands up high tonight
Under that open sky
[Chorus]
Two-fifty, baby
Thank you, America
Two-fifty, baby
You made us feel so strong
I love America
I love America
Raising up that banner
All night long
[Bridge]
Keep the promise, keep the flame
Keep it running through our veins
Different faces, one home
Same red ground, same gold sun
[Final Chorus]
Two-fifty, baby
Thank you, America
Two-fifty, baby
You made us feel so strong
I love America
I love America
Raising up that banner
All night long
Two-fifty, baby
Thank you, America
Two-fifty, baby
We sing it loud and proud
I love America
I love America
Raising up that banner
Right now
