They come from every corner of our country,
The cities, the mountains an' the farms.
Modern-day minutemen and wiomen,
Like our heroes from the past,
Whenever we need them, all we have to do we ask.
They're Christian, they're Muslim and they're Jews:
They're red, white and blue.
Sacrificin' their family and their friends,
For their country and the freedom they defend.
Ah, givin' everything they've got,
Some have had to give it all.
The black man, the white man and the Sioux:
The middle-class, the poor and the well-to-do:
They're red, white and blue.
And when their duty calls them to stand guard and patrol,
They represent, with honor, the values we uphold.
They are the proud Americans; tested, tried and true:
They're red, white and blue.
Instrumental break.
They are the proud Americans; tested, tried and true:
They're red, white and blue.
They're red, white and blue.
Like me an' you.
Instrumental fade.
