It beats like a drum down in New Orleans Sings like a Motown melody It dreams like California Bigger than a Texas sky It bleeds, it scorns, but it shines when times get hard You can't break an American heart She's up before the sun, on the run Another dollar another day another cup of coffee Thank you Lord For giving me one more She still leans on her dreams but it seems Sometimes she's the only one who still believes that life is hard So she takes it on with an American heart
