[Verse 1]
      G             F
White knuckles on a hammer
    C                          G
Out swingin' in the sun, I've been there
      G             F
On a tractor in the summer
       C                            G
Sweat rollin' down the back of that shirt
               G             F
You work your ass off for a dollar
        C                          G
Puttin' new wrinkles on a blue collar
           G                    F
Hoe-in the row y'all, till the weekend
         C                        G
then we really start kickin' up dirt

[Chorus]
            G                  F
Keepin' our boots on American throttle
             C                  G
Drinkin' our beer from American bottles
            G                   F
Up for the job and down for the hustle
             C                  G
Gettin' it down with America muscle
G F C G

[Verse 2]
            G                  F
Gimme some blacktop so I can spread them
C                        G
Wing on the hood of that Trans Am
       G                  F
And a sweet thing ridin' shottie
            C                  G
That's why God made the open road

[Chorus]
            G                  F
Keepin' our boots on American throttle
             C                  G
Drinkin' our beer from American bottles
            G                   F
Up for the job and down for the hustle
             C                  G
Gettin' it down with America muscle
G F C G

[Bridge]

Yeah, we make it, we spend it, we love it, we live it
   C
we see what we want, we go get it

[Verse 3]
        G                      F
Hey Mr. Fender, thanks for the memories
             C                      G
You set the world on fire with just six strings
            G                     F
We got 'em plugged in, we got 'em turned up
        C                    G
From garages to the Madison Square

[Chorus]
            G                  F
Keepin' our boots on American throttle
             C                      G
Drinkin' our beer from American bottles
            G                  F
Gimme some Stevie, some Double Trouble
             C                      G
Rockin' the house with American muscle

[Chorus]
            G                  F
Keepin' our boots on American throttle
             C                      G
Drinkin' our beer from American bottles
            G                  F
Up for the job and down for the hustle
             C                      G
Gettin' it down with American muscle

[Outro]
G        F       C G

         G                F       C G
American muscle  (na na na naw...)
