Happy 250th Birthday America… and keep on rocking! WE'RE STILL AMERICAN BANDS (Song Lyrics, Music and Arrangement by Dr. Donny "Rocker" Deever) [Verse 1] We grew up on back roads with A.M. radio, vinyl spinning truth through a Magnavox glow, hand-me-down guitars, strings cutting hands, learning freedom one chord at a time with the band. We played fire halls, fairgrounds, breathed dust in the air, sang for farmers, and factory hands everywhere, every note we played had a place to stand… rooted deep in this promised land. [Pre-Chorus] They say the times have changed, they say the lines are drawn, but listen close: this song proudly carries on— [Chorus] We’re still American bands, loud and free, still standing for the red, white, and blue we believe, from the anthem’s first note to the last encore stand— Yeah, we’re still American bands. We rebel for freedom, we kneel only to God, we stand with our families on this sacred sod, call us old-time rockers if you don’t understand— But we’re still American bands. [Verse 2] We played Fourth of July under firework skies, saw kids sit on shoulders, tears well in men’s eyes, trucks lined the field, flags waving proud, that old-time rock and roll cutting through the crowd. We took our songs overseas, stage made of sand, played six strings for those far from our homeland, didn’t ask for glory, didn’t ask for fame— Just said “thank you” soldiers… in rock and roll’s name. [Pre-Chorus] They wore the uniform, they towed the line, so we gave them our songs and a piece of our time… [Chorus] We’re still American bands, heart and soul, still believe in freedom more than gold, from church bells ringing to a drummer’s last stand— Yeah, we’re still American bands. We don’t burn our history, we don’t spit on the past, we remember the price and the pledges that last, if loving this country means we're out of hand— Get out of our way, we’re an American band! [Verse 3] Patriotism ain’t a costume you wear, it’s showing up when no one’s there. it’s loving your neighbor, raising your kids, teaching them why freedom is what it is. Rock was never silence, rock was never shame, it was a torch passed on with a righteous flame, and when the noise fades and the dust all lands— The truth still rocks alive in the band! [Bridge] You can change the sound, you can change the scene, but you can’t erase what this music means, we’ll sing the anthem, we’ll bow our heads, and raise our voices for the living and dead! [Final Chorus] We’re still American bands, we're here to stay, still believin' freedom's worth fighting for each day, with God, with country, with family hand in hand— Yeah, we’re still American bands. This music was born where liberty stands, if that ever fades, it’s not rock and roll, man, turn it up, let it ring across the land— We’re still American bands!
