Battle Born Anthem

Stand up

Hold the line

Boots on the gravel,

knuckles split and worn

Raised on a handshake,

baptized in a storm

Mama kept a candle by the kitchen door

Daddy said, son, you were built for more

I carry every mile like a name on my chest No easy

road ever

taught me less When the wire gets hot and the walls close

in I bite down hard and I breathe again There is a

fire underneath this skin

And I will not bend I

am the American fighter Dust on my hands,

thunder in my bones I am the American soldier

I stand for the ones who never stand alone Hit me with

the hard rain I rise,

I roar, I come back home

Hey

Hold fast

Letters in a pocket,

dirt beneath the nails Every scar a map of the harder trails

Brother to my left with the same old grin We do not

quit when the odds lean in From the factory floor to the

county road We carry the weight,

we shoulder the load

When the night gets cold and the wheels dig in

I set my jaw and I breathe again There is a fire

underneath this skin And I will not bend

I am the American fighter Dust on my hands,

thunder in my bones

I am the American soldier I stand for the ones who never

stand alone Hit me with the hard rain

I rise, I roar,

I come back home

If I fall, I get up meaner If I bleed,

I keep my name

No surrender in the mirror No rust on this flame We are

still here

I am the American fighter Dust on my hands,

thunder in my bones I am the American soldier I stand for

the ones who never stand alone Hit me with the hard rain

I rise, I roar,

I come back home I rise,

I roar, I come back home

Stand up

Hold the line American fighter
