Right down the road in any small town
You'll find a man who laid it all down
On the line, oh a thousand times

Across the street and a few blocks south
You'll find a wife in a little brick house
Staying strong, trying to make it a home

They live for hope
They live for honor
They live for each other
Their sons and their daughters
All for love

Here's to the ones who stand their ground
Here's to the ones that never back down
Woo ohh, here's to the home of the free
Here's to the ones who still believe
In taking chances and running down a dream
Woo ohh, here's to the red white and blue
Here's to people like me and you

I know a kid in a one horse town
He believes his future is yet to be found
Ohh he says the time is now
Don't know much about the American dream
Just wants to make his dad proud of what he sees
Ohh proud of what he sees

To live for hope
To live for honor
To live for each other
Our sons and our daughters
All for love

We live for hope
We live for honor
We live for each other
Our sons and our daughters
All for love
