American
Hard ball hittin' with a baseball bat
Kick up your heels kid, leave 'em all flat
Kissin' your mama and missin' your dad
Home is, home is
Hoping my home is where I'm at
What does it mean to be American
Land of the brave and the free
What does it mean to be American to me
Here come the law and order, stick 'em up, Jack
Pick up your wheels kid or be a witness to fact
There's a sole in the feet but no heart in the hat
And skin tint is skin flint
'Cause color's too bright to look at
What does it mean to be American
Home of the free and the true
What does it mean to be American to you
Big wide open skies
For your big wide open eyes
Keep it real now don't you tell me no more lies
As if the slate is clean
I'm gonna read my books, gonna wrap 'em up tight
I can educate myself on the fight
It's never too late to learn a new word right
There's sweet grace for the human race
If we can make it through this hardest night
What does it mean to be American
Home of the brave, land of the free
What does it mean to be American to you and me
Kick up your heels kid, leave 'em all flat
Kissin' your mama and missin' your dad
Home is, home is
Hoping my home is where I'm at
What does it mean to be American
Land of the brave and the free
What does it mean to be American to me
Here come the law and order, stick 'em up, Jack
Pick up your wheels kid or be a witness to fact
There's a sole in the feet but no heart in the hat
And skin tint is skin flint
'Cause color's too bright to look at
What does it mean to be American
Home of the free and the true
What does it mean to be American to you
Big wide open skies
For your big wide open eyes
Keep it real now don't you tell me no more lies
As if the slate is clean
I'm gonna read my books, gonna wrap 'em up tight
I can educate myself on the fight
It's never too late to learn a new word right
There's sweet grace for the human race
If we can make it through this hardest night
What does it mean to be American
Home of the brave, land of the free
What does it mean to be American to you and me
