[Verse 1] From the first cracked dawn To the last bonfire glow Built on dust and promises On the roads we chose Fifty states in the rearview And the miles still ring We learned to bend, not break We learned how to sing [Pre-Chorus] Now the drums roll in From the river to the hill Every hard-won name Still gives us chills Hands up, hearts loud Feel the whole land move One more turn of history And we’re calling out to you [Chorus] Hail to the red, white, and blue (hey, hey) Two hundred fifty, we came through (we came through) Raise that flag up high tonight We built this flame, we kept it bright Hail to the red, white, and blue (red, white, and blue) [Verse 2] Grandpa’s cap on the dashboard Mama’s voice in the yard Kids with sparklers spinning Under July stars From the grain fields to the boardwalk From the bayou to the plains Every town got a story And it runs through our veins [Pre-Chorus] Now the drums roll in And the engine starts to roar Every hand that built this place Keeps knocking at the door Through the fight, through the fall Through the rain and the sun We’re still standing shoulder to shoulder Like the day we begun [Chorus] Hail to the red, white, and blue (hey, hey) Two hundred fifty, we came through (we came through) Raise that flag up high tonight We built this flame, we kept it bright Hail to the red, white, and blue (red, white, and blue) [Bridge] Let the old stories rise Let the young voices cry From the harbor lights to the canyon skies We’re alive, we’re alive One nation, one long road Still finding our way through And every heart in the crowd Sings true [Final Chorus] Hail to the red, white, and blue (hey, hey) Two hundred fifty, we came through (we came through) Raise that flag up high tonight We built this flame, we kept it bright Hail to the red, white, and blue (red, white, and blue) Hail to the red, white, and blue (red, white, and blue)
