Heartbeat Of America
It's a ball cap in his right hand, looking up at the sky
Praying for rain but hoping it stops before the game on Friday night
It's the home team and the whole town, showing up in the stands
Hand on your heart for the stripes and stars fight song from a marching band
It's a wave at a red light everybody knows your name
It's a boy and a girl in a Chevy truck
"John Deere Green" kicking up dust
Living those words from a song they're playin' on the radio
Generations deep running through these roots
What your daddy did is what you do
If you ask me, that's what makes the heartbeat of America
It's a main-street parade for the ones who made it back home
And a moment of silence for the ones too soon gone
It's a god-fearing mama trying to raise 'em right
Sunset falling from a water-tower sky
Whatever keeps that dream alive, you can find it here
It's a boy and a girl in a Chevy truck
"John Deere Green" kicking up dust
Living those words from a song they're playin' on the radio
Generations deep running through these roots
What your daddy did is what you do
If you ask me, that's what makes the heartbeat of America
It's a preacher and a Bible, a little church on the hill
Amazing Grace, Jesus saves, in God we trust still
It's a boy and a girl in a Chevy truck
"John Deere Green" kicking up dust
Living those words from a song they're playin' on the radio
Generations deep running through these roots
What your daddy did is what you do
If you ask me, that's what makes the heartbeat of America
Of America
Of America
Praying for rain but hoping it stops before the game on Friday night
It's the home team and the whole town, showing up in the stands
Hand on your heart for the stripes and stars fight song from a marching band
It's a wave at a red light everybody knows your name
It's a boy and a girl in a Chevy truck
"John Deere Green" kicking up dust
Living those words from a song they're playin' on the radio
Generations deep running through these roots
What your daddy did is what you do
If you ask me, that's what makes the heartbeat of America
It's a main-street parade for the ones who made it back home
And a moment of silence for the ones too soon gone
It's a god-fearing mama trying to raise 'em right
Sunset falling from a water-tower sky
Whatever keeps that dream alive, you can find it here
It's a boy and a girl in a Chevy truck
"John Deere Green" kicking up dust
Living those words from a song they're playin' on the radio
Generations deep running through these roots
What your daddy did is what you do
If you ask me, that's what makes the heartbeat of America
It's a preacher and a Bible, a little church on the hill
Amazing Grace, Jesus saves, in God we trust still
It's a boy and a girl in a Chevy truck
"John Deere Green" kicking up dust
Living those words from a song they're playin' on the radio
Generations deep running through these roots
What your daddy did is what you do
If you ask me, that's what makes the heartbeat of America
Of America
Of America
