  • 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
    (Stars and stripes)
