American lyrics - Skylar Grey

Where's your honor, where's my pride?

Even when it's hard to find

From seed to harvest, it's been ingrained

Drive me past the fields of corn

As Johnny Cash blasts in your Ford

Just get me home to catch the big game

'Cause I was born an American

On the same dark soil

Through the years and all the changes

Still, there's no place like home

And I will die an American

As fireflies and times of war

I think back to a time before

Of catching fireflies in my hands

Then it seems I grew up in a flash

A copper penny flying off a track

Free to fall in love with any man

'Cause I was born an American

On the same dark soil

Through the years and all the changes

Still, there's no place like home

I was born an American

And though I'm growing old

Through the years and all the changes

Still, there's no place like home

And I will die an American
