Listen: Nashville Hall of Fame Songwriter Jeffrey Steele Releases Single ‘I’m an American’: I’m Tired of People Putting Us Down

Nashville Hall of Famer Jeffrey Steele has released a new patriotic single titled “I’m an American” just in time for July 4. In an interview with Breitbart News, the acclaimed songwriter spoke about his frustration with the state of the country under the current administration and said he wrote the song as an appeal to patriotism despite the country’s current decline and the left’s increasingly anti-American sentiment.

Steele — who’s written hits like “What Hurts the Most,” “My Wish,” and “These Days” for Rascal Flatts, as well as singles for Eric Church, Tim McGraw, Trace Adkins, Keith Urban, and Miley Cyrus — told Breitbart News’ editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot 125 “It’s ok to be an American, it’s not a bad thing. It’s an amazing, great thing. It’s a one-of-a-kind thing.”

“I’m an American” is unabashedly patriotic in message and defiant in spirit. The single calls out the left’s attempts to destroy American institutions and to sow division — “I’m tired of people putting us down / It’s like they want a Civil War.”

Yup. If (?) “they” somehow manage to maintain their power(wink wink), they will never allow ANY conservative to achieve the ultimate position in government ever again. EVER.😵‍💫🤬

Aaron Lewis - Am I the Only One

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkKb4Zt48x8

Am I the only one here tonight
Shakin’ my head and thinkin’ somethin’ ain’t right?
Is it just me? Am I losin’ my mind?
Am I standin’ on the edge of the end of time?
Am I the only one? Tell me I’m not
Who thinks they’re takin’ all the good we got
And turnin’ it bad? Hell, I’ll be damned
I think I’m turnin’ into my old man

Am I the only one willin’ to bleed
Or take a bullet for bein’ free
Screamin’, “What the hell!” at my TV
For tellin’ me, yeah, are you tellin’ me?
That I’m the only one willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground?
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone

Am I the only one not brainwashed
Makin’ my way through the land of the lost
Who still gives a shit and worries ‘bout his kids
As they try to undo all the things he did?

Am I the only one who can’t take no more
Screamin’, “If you don’t like it, there’s the frickin’ door!”
This ain’t the freedom we’ve been fightin’ for
It was somethin’ more, yeah, it was somethin’ more
Am I the only one willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground?
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone

Not the only one
I can’t be the only one

Am I the only one who quits singin’ along
Every time they play a Springsteen song?

Am I the only one sittin’ here
Still holdin’ on, holdin’ back my tears
For the ones who paid with the lives they gave?
God bless the USA

I’m not the only one willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone

I’m not the only one
I can’t be the only one

He’s not the only one but too many ‘Americans’ have absolutely no concept of the meaning of this country. NOT a clue. My tag line...........

Electing a clown as our leader gives people the right to laugh at us.
