Well I went to visit
My grandpa last Christmas
Said I need to ask some questions

'Bout some things
I don't understand

Like God and what love means
And payin' taxes

What does this country stand for
I'm askin' man to man

So we sat down on that front porch
And talked about this land
He said it's like a paintbrush

To the canvas
Like a needle to a thread

It's the preacher on the corner
Yellin' above the crowd

It's a new mom buyin' diapers
With the baby screamin' loud

It's the soldiers in the battle
Fightin' to win the war
Some don't know why they're there

But they know
What they're fightin' for

Some will fall
And some will stand

But that's an American

Well l grabbed my mornin' coffee
And read the paper
Wall Street crashin'

Business slashin'
Jobs for the workin' man

I hear the politicians
Arguin' over money
Both tellin' us

Who's right and wrong
And who's got better plans

But with all the things I see today
They take that center stage

I can't help but think of the people
Who are on that second page

Like sergeant seven Davis
On a first tour in Iraq
Just like private

First class Mitchell
Didn't know he wouldn't
Make it back

They're all soldiers in this battle
Fightin' to win the war
Some don't know why they're there

But others know
What they're fightin' for

Some will fall
And some will stand

But that's an American

I think back to the front porch talk
And grandpa tellin' me why

And pray for the ones who fight
80 we can have the right

To be the preacher on the corner
Yellin' above the crowd

To be the new mom buyin' diapers
With the baby screamin' loud

They're all soldiers in this battle
Fightin' to win the war
Some don't know why they're there

But they know what
They're fightin' for

Some will fall
And some will stand

But that's an American

That's an American

That's an American
