Out where the fields touch the sky, wide open
Under the blanket of a starlit heaven
The sun sets deep in a fiery glow
Where the rivers run and wildflowers grow
This is the heart, this is the soul
Of an American country road
Where every heart beats bold and free
In the land of dreams and destiny
Evenings fall with a gentle breeze
Whispering through the tall pine trees
Families gather by the fire's light
Sharing stories through the night
This is the heart, this is the soul
Of an American country road
Where every heart beats bold and free
In the land of dreams and destiny
And oh, how the old songs play
Tales of yore and yesterday
A tune for the hard work, the tears, and smiles
Dancing under the moon for miles
This is the heart, this is the soul
Of an American country road
Where every heart beats bold and free
In the land of dreams and destiny
So here's to the wide open spaces
To the sturdy, kind-hearted faces
In the country where we roam so free
Part of the American melody
