He's got a twinkle in his eye
A story on his face
Gray hair and a checkered shirt
A picture of American grace
He's got an American smile
Shining bright, true and proud
With stars and stripes behind him
His spirit's never bowed
From sea to shining sea
He's seen it all, standing tall
The years have made him wise
An American through it all
Red, white, and blue
Running through his veins
A lifetime of memories
Through sunshine and rain
His glasses reflect the light
Of a nation's burning flame
A beacon of hope and freedom
Forever we'll remain
An American smile
A story to be told
Of a man who's seen it all
And a heart that's made of gold
