[Intro]
(just the electric guitar, lots of reverb/shimmer. keep it super wide and open like a kansas sky)
Dust in the wind... gold in the fields.
Built on a promise that never yields.
Just a Midwest soul watching the world spin round,
Finding my peace when the sun goes down.
[Verse 1]
[bring in that wet water texture / pulsing synth bass here]
Down by the river where the cool water flows,
Under the shadow where the cottonwood grows.
Chasing the horizon, chasing the sun,
Electric currents when the day is all done.
Catching a spark, watch the frequency fly,
Counting the stars in a wide-open sky.
[4x4 pop kick drum starts pumping right here - get people moving]
Headlights cutting through a two-lane road,
Windows rolled down, letting go of the load.
[Pre-Chorus]
[snare rolls building up heavy, hats speeding up, big sweep/riser]
We raise our hands when the Sunday bells chime,
Putting our faith in a rhythm divine.
Yeah, we live our lives by a different code,
Written right into the dust of a county road.
But when the shadows fall and the drop comes down...
We stand as one on this sacred ground.
[Chorus]
[THE DROP - MAX ENERGY. Huge melodic dubstep wall of sound, supersaws blasting, heavy pop dance beat]
And it makes me proud to be made in the USA!
Where the love of the people will clear the way.
Through the fire and the smoke we will never divide,
Standing together with an endless pride.
Yeah, we fight for the home where the brave ones stay...
Proud to be made in the USA!
[Verse 2]
[cut all the drums. just a sad/pretty piano with that heavy sidechain pump effect]
Out in the storm when the autumn winds blow,
We hold onto secrets that the city don't know.
Neighbor helping neighbor when the sky turns gray,
Lifting each other at the end of the day.
No matter the distance, we carry the same flame [sing this part lower / background vocal?]
Carved in the earth where we write our name.
[Bridge]
[no electronic drums at all. massive cinematic strings + huge reese bass. pure emotion]
When the world gets loud and the wars begin,
We rise from the ashes, we stand to win.
We celebrate the warriors who guard the night,
Shining a beacon of everlasting light.
For the red, white, and blue, we will answer the call...United we stand, and we never will fall.
[Pre-Drop Cut]
[DEAD SILENCE FOR 1 SECOND. glitch/vocoder effect on the vocal]
"Made in the... U... S... A!"
[The Drop]
[Color bass chaos. Chopped up stuttery vocals acting as the lead melody, heavy melodic dubstep growls, driving bassline]
M-M-Made in the USA—U-S-A—Proud to be made—
—in the USA!
[Outro]
[fade everything back down to the intro guitar + the sound of kansas wind blowing in the background]
Putting our faith in God...
Watching the storm pass by...
Never coming down.
Proud to be made...
In the USA.
