Lyrics
The American Heart ©2009 Tim Wheeler, Skip Adams VERSE 1 They walked him out with half his pride and a check for two weeks pay Now he don't work there anymore Drove on down to the county seat to file an unemployment claim A Big ol' line stretched out the door Asked his Dad "Ever seen it this bad?" he said no, but his daddy had "Compared to him son, you and I been blessed Life is more than a house or a car or how well-off people think you are You need to trust what's beating in your chest." CHORUS Don't give up when Life gets hard, if it don't kill you you'll get stronger Jump back in and do your part / and you just Might make it through. When they tell you that it's over, that's a real good place to start Don't ever underestimate The American Heart VERSE 2 He aint much into politics, it's a sucker bet when the game is fixed And guys in suits make all the rules He just wants to be left alone, keep his wife and kids in their little home Just give him half a chance and that's what he'll do CHORUS Don't give up when Life gets hard, if it don't kill you you'll get stronger Jump back in and do your part / and you just Might make it through. When they tell you that it's over, that's a real good place to start Don't ever underestimate The American Heart Bridge There's a Hope that's runnin' like a train Through them purple mountains, and fruited plains Pumpin' hard to keep the dream alive! CHORUS Don't give up when Life gets hard, if it don't kill you you'll get stronger Jump back in and do your part / and you just Might make it through. When they tell you that it's over, that's a real good place to start Don't ever underestimate The American Heart Don't ever underestimate The American HEARt
