	Story Behind the Song Having friends in marines go to Iraq to fight war. Lyrics Home Town Parade Dad packed us up in a Radio Flier Mom tied a red, white, and blue ribbon around it Walked into town and sat on a curb Waiving our flags to the oncoming music we heard Heading the parade was Jim O’Connor A football star back in high school Shook lots of hands as he walked down the street Wearing a ribbon, that said “Live the American Dream” On a hot summer day, all across the land There’s a boy playing baseball with his dad Trying his best to make him proud Hear the crack of the bat, as the sun beats down CHORUS Because some things in life are American made Like faded blue Jeans and a home town parade As we moved to the music of the marching band Their eyes lit up as we clapped our hands Little Timmy selling lemonade Would go on to own this town one day Then old men in uniformHelping each other to walk along Filled the street up with prideAs tears welled up in mama’s eyes On a hot summer night, all across the land There’s a teenage boy taking his girl’s hand Holding her close as the music playsAnd the moon lights the innocence of their faces CHORUS Bridge Scenes of America, run deep within our hearts Like freedom within us, we can never part Let them be certain, that they can never take The meaning of our home town parade End of the line, were four fire engines My friend Billy’s mom rode in one Lost her husband fighting a fire The entire town pitched in to help them get by RELEASE On a hot summer night, all across the land There’s a boy playing baseball with his dad Trying his best to make him proud Hear the crack of the bat underneath the lights
