Lyrics

Real American

I am a real American
Fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
And fight for what's right
Fight for your life

When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside
You gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide
If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride
I gotta lend a hand, it don't help to hide

I am a real American
I fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
And fight for what's right
Fight for your life

Well, I stand strong about right and wrong
And I don't take trouble for very long
'Cause I got something deep inside of me
A courage is the thing that keeps me free

I am a real American
I fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
And fight for what's right sing it one more time)

I am a real American
Fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
And fight for what's right
Fight for your life

If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride
I gotta lend a hand, it don't help to hide

I am a real American
I fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
And fight for what's right
Fight for your life

I am a real American
I fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
And fight for what's right
Fight for your life
