Fighting For America

He wakes up every mornin'
Like he always does
Tells his kids that he loves 'em
And gives his wife a hug
Tries not to think about it too much
But he knows today might be his last
But he just buttons up his shirt
And clips on his badge

He's runnin' towards the fire, lookin' down the barrel of a gun
Riskin' everything he has, just so his daughters and his son
Might have a chance to see a world without all this hate
But another villain's born for every person that he saves
Don't that sound great?
Just another day
Fighting for America

She's up before the sun
Lacin' up them boots
She'd love to call back home
But she moves when they say move
And she sends up a prayer to God
That this will be her last time
But she just closes up her Bible
And falls in line

She's runnin' toward the fire, lookin' down the barrel of a gun
Riskin' everything she has, just so her daughter and her sons
Might have a chance to see a world without all this hate
But another flag gets burned for every person that she saves
Don't that sound great?
Just another day
Fighting for America

He's been gone since he enlisted
It's been such a long time
He finally made it home
And his mom and daddy cried
But they don't hold him close
As much as they'd like to now
They just fold up his flag
And lay him in the ground

Yeah, he ran toward the fire, lookin' down the barrel of a gun
He gave everything he had, just so your daughters and your sons
Might have a chance to see a world without all this hate
And he never asked for nothing, not even a little thanks
Don't that sound great?
Just another day
Fighting for America

Something's gotta change
Before it's too late
To fight for America
