"American Made" lyrics

He set a course for Carolina
Not a penny to his name
Just an old family bible
And a hunger in his veins

Like a million other dreamers
In search of liberty
Sailing to the land of freedom
And possibility

Just a simple man with his calloused hands
That he worked down to the bone
Started a family and made his legacy
When he called this place our home

Every single seed he planted
Turning into a field of dreams
Paving the way for generations
Now our roots are running deep
And when that proud flag waves
The anthem plays
I know the price he paid
And I'm thankful for it each and every day
To be American made

They broke their backs to earn a living
Hanging steel and blasting stone
Drilling wells, cutting timber
Herding cows and mining coal
They gave their blood and tears
And served in every single war
As every shot rang out
They never had a doubt
About the land they were fighting for

Every single seed they planted
Turning into a field of dreams
Paving the way for generations
Now our roots are running deep
And when that proud flag waves
The anthem plays
I know the price they paid
And I'm thankful for it each and every day
To be American made

Now we follow in their footsteps
Carry Great-Granddaddy's name
And being born under the stars and stripes
Was the greatest gift they gave

Every single seed they planted
Turning into a field of dreams
Paving the way for generations
Now our roots are running deep
And when that proud flag waves
The anthem plays
I know the price they paid
And I'm thankful for it each and every day
I'll be thankful for it 'till my dying day
To be American made
To be American made
I'm American made
