American Heart

Intro: Verse 1: 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 And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard And you can't break an American heart Verse 2: From the small town Friday night lights to the Broadway neon burning up bright We're all the same and it's in our veins A spirit that you can't keep down, a fire inside that'll never burn out If you are the owner of an American heart And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard And you can't break an American heart An American heart And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard And you can't break, you can't break an American heart An American heart, an American heart
