"Heart Of The USA" lyrics

Four decades ago a young man left Mississippi
To fight the war in Vietnam
Did two tours and got shot received the medal of honor
When he got home he wasn't the same man

So when you get home tonight and give thanks to your maker
For your loved ones and the food on your table
Say a prayer for the ones who lost their lives
And the men left in the field of battle

A heroes' legend that needs to be told
To pass through the ages for the young and the old
They fought for the truth and the will to survive
All-American by birth and born with Southern Pride

So raise the blade in the heart of the USA
Oh, oh, oh. We're all part of the USA
Gimme them stars and bars for heritage not hate
Oh, oh, oh. It's the heart of the USA

A heroes' legend that needs to be told
To pass through the ages for the young and the old
They fought for the truth and the will to survive
All-American by birth and born with Southern Pride

So raise the blade in the heart of the USA
Oh, oh, oh. We're all part of the USA
Gimme them stars and bars for heritage not hate
Oh, oh, oh. It's the heart of the USA

So raise the blade in the heart of the USA
Oh, oh, oh. We're all part of the USA
Gimme them stars and bars for heritage not hate
Oh, oh, oh. It's the heart of the USA
