It's America
A Tapestry of Americana Dreams: Highway Bros' Anthem
Lyrics
Driving down the street today I saw a sign for lemonade
Observing a lemonade stand sign while driving, sparking a positive reaction.
They were the cutest kids I'd ever seen in this front yard
Children at the lemonade stand are exceptionally cute in their front yard.
As they handed me my glass, smiling thinking to myself
Received a glass of lemonade from the kids, reflecting on the pleasant scene.
Man, what a picture-perfect postcard this would make of America
Reflecting on the idyllic scene, imagining it as a perfect representation of America.
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song, it's a ride in a Chevrolet
Describing diverse elements symbolizing America, like proms, Springsteen songs, and Chevrolet rides.
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids selling lemonade
Expanding on American symbols: moon landing, fireflies, and kids selling lemonade.
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
Emphasizing unity with references to cities, farms, and the national motto ("one nation under God").
It's America
Summarizing the diverse and unified essence of America.
Later on when I got home, I flipped the TV on
Switching to a TV scene of a town devastated by a tornado.
I saw a little town that some big twister tore apart
Describing the aftermath of a tornado and the community's response.
And people came from miles around just to help their neighbours out
Commending people who came to help their neighbors, reinforcing pride in America.
And I was thinking to myself I'm so glad that I live in America
Expressing gratitude for living in America after witnessing the community support.
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song, it's a ride in a Chevrolet
Reiterating diverse symbols of America, including proms, Springsteen songs, and Chevrolet rides.
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids selling lemonade
Repeating symbols like the moon landing, fireflies, and kids selling lemonade.
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
Reaffirming the unity of America with references to cities, farms, and the national motto.
It's America
Restating the overall essence of America.
Now we might not always get it all right
Acknowledging imperfections in America but expressing unwavering loyalty.
There's no place else I'd rather build my life
Affirming the choice to build a life in America despite its flaws.
'Cause it's a kid with a chance, it's a rock 'n roll band
Highlighting opportunities for children and the cultural significance of rock 'n roll bands.
It's a farmer cuttin' hay
Depicting the work of a farmer as a quintessential American activity.
It's a big flag flyin' in a summer wind
Symbolizing patriotism with a large flag waving in the wind over a hero's grave.
Over a fallen hero's grave
Connecting patriotism to sacrifice and honoring fallen heroes.
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song
Repeating symbols of proms, Springsteen songs, and adding a welcome home parade.
It's a welcome home parade, yeah
Highlighting the celebratory atmosphere of a welcome home parade.
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids sellin' lemonade
Reiterating symbols like the moon landing, fireflies, and kids selling lemonade.
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
Reaffirming the unity of America with references to cities, farms, and the national motto.
It's America! It's America! Oh, oh yeah, woo!
Concluding with a passionate declaration of pride and identity as an American.
