Reason We’Re Here

Kid from the country where the fields run wide Girl from the city on the subway lines Met halfway at a roadside bar Same flag flying over both they cars One will boost, one will beat up chucks Still sang along when the jukebox struck Different stories but the same one Share when that old song hit Glad we're all right here You can roam this world, see a lot of land on the same daylight. We fuss and we fight like in some days, but we still show up when it all goes sideways. Yeah, we love to stand firm, hold our freedom, dear. God bless America. Got a vet on the porch with a flag in his hand Got a first-gen kid running track for this land Got a mom working doubles with a tired smile Steel packs lunches, prays over every mile You got beach folks, bayas, mountain air, steel mills, smoking county fair We don't look the same but we all know this You don't mess with a place that gives you this much gear We're a little rough, round the edges, yeah that's true But when the storm clouds hit Start over next week, wipe off that fear We'll joke and we'll jab, but we hold folks near If you fall down hard, someone grabs that gear Yeah, we last laugh, fight clean, keep all people near God bless America, that's the reason we're here From the church puro's to the corner store From the high rise lights to the fee store floor We don't always agree on what's wrong or right But we still share grills on the 4th of July night If you come in peace, you got friends for life If you push too far, well We know how to fight love first and last That's the deal around here Hearts wide open, lines held clear, yeah, that's the reason we're here Land of second chances and ice cold beer Land where a last name don't like your fate You can write your story in any state, we got flaws sure But we don't run scared, we roll up sleeves when the low That's the reason we're here Yeah, whatever roads you took to get you home There's a star-spangled sky saying you're not alone
