[Verse] Neon lights on a broken street Radio low, but the drums hit deep Dust on the dash, summer on repeat Every mile feels like destiny Friday night in a borrowed car Chasing dreams we swear are ours Small-town sky, big wild heart We don’t know where we’re going, just how to start [Chorus] Feel that American heartbeat Running through the wires and the gasoline Hands up high, no guarantees Just a spark in the dark and a need to believe Yeah, it’s an American heartbeat Every crack in the road underneath our feet We’re alive in the in-between To the sound of an American heartbeat [Verse] Faded signs and a diner glow Stories only the backroads know We’re stitched together by hope and scars Learning who we are, not who they are Mama said, “Don’t lose your fire” Even when the cost gets higher Every dream walks a thin white line But we’re still dancing on borrowed time [Chorus] Feel that American heartbeat Running through the wires and the gasoline Hands up high, no guarantees Just a spark in the dark and a need to believe Yeah, it’s an American heartbeat Every crack in the road underneath our feet We’re alive in the in-between To the sound of an American heartbeat [Bridge] If we fall, we fall forward If we break, we break free Every loss writes a chapter In the story of you and me [Chorus] Feel that American heartbeat Louder than fear when the night gets deep We’re not done, we’re just mid-scene Still chasing what we’re gonna be Yeah, it’s an American heartbeat From the coast to the wide plains screaming This is more than a memory It’s the sound of an American heartbeat
