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
