Cast Your Vote Today

Intro
(Acoustic guitar strumming, leading into a warm pedal steel and fiddle riff)
​[Verse 1]
There’s a sign down at the crossroads, planted in the dirt
Hard-working folks in denim, heading home from work
We don't always see eye to eye on how the road should go
But we all love this native land and the seeds we pull to grow
Got a pencil and a ballot, a paper and a voice
The greatest power in the world is having a choice
​[Chorus]
So get up, get out, and cast your vote today
It’s the American honor, it’s the American way
Red, white, or blue, or somewhere in between
We’re the heart and the spirit of the grandest machine
It’s our constitutional privilege, our duty and our right
Stand up for your country and let your voice take flight
​[Verse 2]
From the quiet mountain hollows to the bustling city street
Every single citizen has got a driver's seat
Don't sit on the sidelines when history passes by
We owe it to our children under this broad sky
It ain't about the left or right, or pointing fingers round
It’s about the foundation of our solid, freedom ground
​[Chorus]
So get up, get out, and cast your vote today
It’s the American honor, it’s the American way
Red, white, or blue, or somewhere in between
We’re the heart and the spirit of the grandest machine
It’s our constitutional privilege, our duty and our right
Stand up for your country and let your voice take flight
​[Guitar & Fiddle Solos]
(Upbeat, traditional dual-lead solos driving the rhythm forward)
​[Bridge]
Our fathers fought for freedom, our mothers paved the track
They handed us the torch, and there’s no turning back
So step into the booth, take pride in what you do
The power of America belongs to me and you
​[Chorus]
So get up, get out, and cast your vote today
It’s the American honor, it’s the American way
Red, white, or blue, or somewhere in between
We’re the heart and the spirit of the grandest machine
It’s our constitutional privilege, our duty and our right
Stand up for your country and let your voice take flight
​[Outro]
Yeah, stand up for your right...
Get on out and vote.
Every single voice counts.
(Pedal steel fades out with a final acoustic strum)
