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
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
‘Cause 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
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
