Old Man Music

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We used to talk… we’d work it out
Didn’t agree… but there was no doubt
Same front porch… same small town
Now it feels like… we’re worlds apart somehow

[Pre-Chorus] (lift)
Somewhere along the way
We forgot… we’re the same

[Chorus] (strong, memorable)
What happened to the “United” in the USA?
When did we let it slip away?
Stars still shine… but they’re pulling apart
Red, white, and blue… breaking hearts
We can’t be the land of the brave
If we’re too divided to save
Tell me now… is it too late?
Or can we still be… United States

[Verse 2] (slight build)
Everybody’s loud… nobody hears
Truth gets lost… in the noise and fear
If nobody bends… nobody gives
What kind of country… is this?

[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere between pride and pain
We lost more… than we gained

[Chorus] (full)
What happened to the “United” in the USA?
When did we let it slip away?
Stars still shine… but they’re pulling apart
Red, white, and blue… breaking hearts
We can’t be the land of the brave
If we’re too divided to save
Tell me now… is it too late?
Or can we still be… United States

[Bridge] (quiet, emotional drop)
It’s not about you… it’s not about me
It’s about who… we’re supposed to be
Maybe it starts… with one small try
One voice soft… instead of a fight

[Final Chorus] (lift, then taper)
Bring back the “United” in the USA
We don’t have to live this way
Stars can shine… if they align
One heart at a time… one life
We can still be the land of the brave
If we’re strong enough to change
Say it now… before it’s too late
We’re still the United… States

[Outro] (very soft)
We’re not that far… gone
