Well if you ask me where I come from Here's what I tell everyone: I was born by God's dear grace In an extraordinary place Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly It's a big ol' land with countless dreams Happiness ain't out of reach Hard work pays off the way it should Yeah, I've seen enough to know that we've got it good Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly There's a lady that stands in a harbor For what we believe And there's a bell that still echoes The price that it cost to be free I pledge allegiance to this flag And if that bothers you, well that's too bad But if you got pride and you're proud you do Hey, we could use some more like me and you Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly Yes, there's a lady that stands in a harbor For what we believe And there's a bell that still echoes The price that it cost to be free No, it ain't the only place on earth But it's the only place that I prefer To love my wife and raise my kids Hey, the same way that my daddy did Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
