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
