American Heart Songtext
von Shane Gamble

Johnny was a football star
Driving in his daddy′s car
Living down in Smallsville, Tennessee
Where everything is good
Then one day got that call
The army man said "boy we need you now"
So he put on his boots
And said a little prayer

Hallelujah come ringing in the high
Light the skies on the 4th of July
It's just a miracle
For those American stars
Rising up to the front of the line
Shining bright are the dreams in his eyes
It′s just a miracle
For those American stars
And one American heart


Now he's out in the fields
Gun in hand, he's burning up with fear
And thinks about his girlfriend at home
On a hot summer day
And then just over the hill
He heard a crash of lightning that turned to a scream
And then up rose the smoke
And the guns turned to fire
And the bombs start crashing down

Hallelujah come ringing in the high
Light the skies on the 4th of July
It′s just a miracle
For those American stars
Rising up to the front of the line
Shining bright are the dreams in his eyes
It′s just a miracle
For those American stars
And one American heart

In a letter from his father he said he was proud
Of a son that's a soldier for the freedoms we have
When you′re lost in the battle
Pray to God you'll be found


Hallelujah come ringing in the high
Light the skies on the 4th of July
It′s just a miracle
For those American stars
Rising up to the front of the line
Shining bright are the dreams in his eyes
Still he fights
Cause that rhythm beats strong
In one American heart
One American heart
