Red, White & You

Verse 1

I was raised on a back porch sunset,

Front yard full of fireflies.

Granddaddy’s flag on a wooden pole,

Still stands tall against the sky.

Friday night lights and a small town prayer,

Hands over hearts when the anthem plays,

We don’t always see it the same way,

But we stand together anyway.

Pre-Chorus

It’s dirt roads and city streets,

Different dreams on different beats,

Freedom ringing like a church bell sound.

Chorus

It’s red, white and you and me,

Wide open fields and liberty,

Hard work, blue jeans, faith and truth.

It’s second chances, midnight dances,

Voices rising proud and free.

From sea to shining sea we stand,

One heart, one hope, one land.

That’s what it means to be American —

It’s red, white and you.

Verse 2

It’s a single mom on the graveyard shift,

Making sure the bills get paid.

It’s a soldier writing letters home,

Counting down the days.

It’s a farmer praying for the rain,

It’s a dreamer chasing neon lights.

It’s a kid who just got sworn in,

Tears in his mama’s eyes.

Pre-Chorus

It’s small town roots and high-rise views,

Different faiths and different views,

But freedom’s something we all hold tight.

Chorus

It’s red, white and you and me,

Wide open fields and liberty,

Hard work, blue jeans, faith and truth.

It’s second chances, midnight dances,

Voices rising proud and free.

From sea to shining sea we stand,

One heart, one hope, one land.

That’s what it means to be American —

It’s red, white and you.

Bridge

We don’t have to be the same

To love this place we call our home.

We can disagree and still believe

In the promise we’ve been shown.

It’s freedom of speech, freedom to dream,

Freedom to kneel or stand.

It’s the right to chase what you believe

On this sacred ground we stand.

Final Chorus (Bigger)

It’s red, white and you and me,

Stars that shine on history,

Sacrifice and bravery too.

It’s porch swing nights and city lights,

Old glory waving true.

From mountains high to rolling plains,

Through sunshine, storms and rain.

That’s what it means to be American —

It’s red, white and you.

Tag Outro

Yeah, it’s red, white and you…

That’s what it means to be American.
