American Pride lyrics

Everyone's a shooting star

We all will make it to the end

The only new beginning is

The one I spend with all my friends

The trees, the water, mighty sun

The sea, the battle, poison field

All become the reason

For the shadow I know is real

Growing up is tough as nails

I hope a giant gust of wind

Rushes up against the sails

And pulls us all in by our chin

Whichever way I look at it

Beautiful, tragic

Part of it's on purpose?

But it's usually an accident

Funeral to first breath

Destiny's choice

Hardly enough

But enough to make sense of it boy

One foot in and one foot out

Imma shake it till I see the sharks and then I will be out

But there's no kidding, life's hard

Especially when you go swimming with no lifeguard

Tomorrow Imma go get it, today I'm gonna sit

till I get in my car and drive myself sick

Imma go, go, fix it up

Imma go go go Imma fix it up

Imma go, go, fix it up

Imma go go go Imma fix it up

Imma giddy giddyup, Imma fix it up

Imma go go-getter, Imma fix it up

Imma giddy giddyup, Imma fix it up

Imma, Imma

Compare myself to my father and what is it I find?

I find that he works hard and most of the time, so do I

He can build a house and I can build a song that

Under one roof we can sing with my mom, bet

Watch a young girl eat a big piece of pork

Whether she hasn't ate for days or just the night before

It truly doesn't matter. It makes me want to puke

Like a fast food platter with the ten o'clock news

These people lost. These people won.

This country gave that country a gun.

I'm sorry to say it, I have to admit

I wish I lived in Europe where no one gets sick

Maybe it's a myth, so forgive me if it is

But from what I heard it's a great place to raise your kids

Then I should leave, right? I know, Don't worry, I will

As soon as we fight cold snow flurries and chills

Up a spineless fix the machine, blinded, trying to swim up this stream

Remind us that we're dying trying to live the dream

The score is zero/ zero, no side's the winning team

And I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm me

Where the magazines and TV screens

Tell me who to be

And I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm safe

From Oxycontin, Adderall,

Klonopin, ecstasy and crank

And I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm free

Where most of my time is spent trying to find

The best time for me to leave
