Jon Kahn & Michael Farren The United Saints Of America Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It ain't that purple mountain's majesty
It ain't the fruity plain
It ain't that shimmering sunset out on amber waves of grain
It's the shoulders of people from a thousand lands
Who showed up with nothing but dreams in their hands
And built something beautiful
Yeah, they still make it beautiful

[Chorus]
You can say what you want, you can throw stones
But on your worst day, it's still home sweet home
You can't kill the idea that put its roots deep down in dust and blood
Done a whole lot of bending, but you can't make or break it
Hell or high water, that flag's gonna wave
If you wanna know who keeps this crazy thing standing up
It's the United Saints of America

[Verse 2]
We've got our share of scoundrels, outlaws and clowns
Cowboys and preachers, little one-horse towns
Big city, white collar, bright lights and big shiny cars
We've got farmers on tractors that keep us all fed
The north and the south, the blue and the red
They make something beautiful
Man, those colors are beautiful

[Chorus] You can say what you want, you can throw stones
But on your worst day, it's still home sweet home
You can't kill the idea that put its roots deep down in dust and blood
Done a whole lot of bending, but you can't make or break it
Hell or high water, that flag's gonna wave
If you wanna know who keeps this crazy thing standing up
It's the United Saints of America

[Bridge]
From the Bible Belt to the streets with no church
It's hard to explain it, but somehow, it works
And I dare you to find me a soldier more brave than the ones
Who salute the Stars and Stripes every day

[Chorus]
You can say what you want, you can throw stones
But on your worst day, it's still home sweet home
You can't kill the idea that put its roots deep down in dust and blood
Got a whole lot of bending, but you can't make or break it
The flag's gonna wave
If you wanna know what keeps this crazy thing standing up

[Outro]
Yeah, if you wanna know who keeps this crazy thing standing up
It's the United Saints of America, yeah
