Verse 1
Calloused hands, sunrise sweat
Names and stories we never met
Hammer swings, steel rails laid
Every stone and field, a price they paid
Some walked west, some stood tall
Few got glory, most got none at all
Red clay road, the first wheel spun
Brick by brick, city begun
Chorus
Raise a glass for the builders, for the dreamers standing strong
For the hearts who held this country up and always carried on
For the ones who dug the rivers, for the mothers and the sons
Heroes built America, one by one by one
Heroes built America, one by one by one
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Verse 2
Shoulders bent, summer dust
Silent courage, every mile they trust
Work boots worn, shadows fall
Hard days, hope never small
Sweat-soaked shirt, hope and hurt
Names lost deep in southern dirt
Their laughter fades, their memories stay
Blue jeans, red clay, yesterday
Chorus
Raise a glass for the builders, for the dreamers standing strong
For the hearts who held this country up and always carried on
For the ones who dug the rivers, for the mothers and the sons
Heroes built America, one by one by one
Heroes built America, one by one by one
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Bridge
From sea to shining sea, they stood
Hands on plows, hands on wood
Stone by stone, dreams unfurled
Carved their names across this world
Chorus
Raise a glass for the builders, for the dreamers standing strong
For the hearts who held this country up and always carried on
For the ones who dug the rivers, for the mothers and the sons
Heroes built America, one by one by one
Heroes built America, one by one by one
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
