American Pride

I grew up in America
At a time it wasn't so bad
We were raised out in Steephollow
We did the best with what we had
We had it all
Loving neighbors, land and freedom

We'd take the back roads to the bottom
Where everybody gathered 'round
Grandma, she would feed us
Grandpa would kick us out
We played outside
But that's where we came alive

And that's what built me
And my American pride

So I know that we can do this
Hold hands and step aside
Let love pour out between us
Move the hate and let's just try
See, I believe we'll make a difference
One person at a time
Come on now, I can feel it
My American pride

Well, everybody's got a story
Some different, I suppose
When them Friday night lights shine bright
And them boys put on a show
We all come together
Race and color pushed aside

Some say it's just a ball game
Oh, but I say American pride

And I know that we can do this
Hold hands and step aside
Let love pour out between us
Move the hate and let's just try
See, I believe we'll make a difference
One person at a time
Come on now, I can feel it
My American pride

So I pass the love around (I pass the love around)
Some lay their own lives down (they lay their own lives down)
To fight for you and me
And for this nation and this land
And your right for freedom

And I know that we can do this
Hold hands and step aside
Let love pour out between us
Move the hate and let's just try
See, I believe we'll make a difference
One person at a time
Come on now, I can feel it
My American pride

Come on now, I can feel it
My American pride
God bless the USA
That's American pride
