Lyrics

Two hundred fifty years
And we're still carrying it forward
Two-lane highway with the sun sinking low
Driving past the fields where the history grows
Boots on my feet that have broken the clay
Carrying the dust of a long yesterday
I don't need a holiday to feel what I feel
This country's in the soil it's under every wheel
From the mountains to the cities from the old to the new
Two hundred fifty years still bleeding through
Some say it's fading some say it's too far gone
But I still see the fire at the break of dawn
Two hundred fifty and we're still standing tall
Still waving the colors through it all
A quarter-millennium and the fire's still alive
In the hearts of the ones who refuse to let it die
Two hundred fifty
Two hundred fifty
Got a salt-stained patch from an old truck stop
And an old faded eagle that my granddad dropped
Some are stitched in some are faded and torn
But they carry the weight of the storms I've borne
Every mile behind me echoes words my granddad said
We don't always get it right we don't always see ahead
But there's something in the dirt that still calls us back
Two hundred fifty years of holding the line in the black
Some roll their eyes some light up with pride
But I walk a little straighter with this fire inside
Two hundred fifty and we're still standing tall
Still waving the colors through it all
A quarter-millennium and the fire's still alive
In the hearts of the ones who refuse to let it die
Two hundred fifty
Two hundred fifty
Not because we're perfect we've got scars on our name
But a fire that's wild is a hard one to tame
Two hundred fifty years of holding the light
Still carrying the torch right into the night
Two hundred fifty and we're still standing tall
Still waving the colors through it all
A quarter-millennium and the fire's still alive
In the hearts of the ones who refuse to let it die
Two hundred fifty
Two hundred fifty
Two hundred fifty years
And we're just getting started
