Lyrics
Long way she's come 200 years and just begun. Pride and Freedom bring the hope that she bears for everyone.
Some just find her on the 4th of July
with the thunder and rockets red glare.
But I hear her voice in the whispering trees the Oceans and streams and breathe her in the cool mountain air.
I'm holdin on to the old and the tried true and golden set me up on top of an eagles wing. And lay me down another round of Tennessee's finest and bury me deep in the shade of a hickory tree, Cause you can't Kick the Country out a me.
