Just a handful of heroes, waving flags across the world
Fast food and freedom, iron hand in velvet glove
For a fistful of dollars, anything at a price
It's always a gamble, say your prayers and roll the dice
History, for you and me, stretchin' out miles and miles
Liberty, equality, that's never going out of style (yeah)

(spirit of america) that's the spirit of america
Doin' okay just a heartbeat away
(spirit of america) that's the spirit of america
You burn from coast to coast
(spirit of america) that's the spirit of america

It's everybody's dream, there's a new tomorrow, now

The last lonesome cowboy, turns to make his final stand
Tall in his saddle, burning rifle in his hand
Now his world is a memory, and the freeway takes him home
Too tired and weary, for the man to stand alone

Reaching out, pushing hard, findin' your way at last
Shakin' loose, breakin' through, build a future from the past (yeah)

History for you and me, stretchin' out miles and miles
Liberty, equality, that's never going out of style (yeah)
