[Intro: Jack Posobiec]
Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the Turning Point USA All-American Halftime Show
And this one's for you, Charlie
[Part I: USA National Anthem]
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the All-American Halftime Show
Let's get to it
This is "Real American"
[Part II: Real American]
[Verse 1: Brantley Gilbert]
Welcome to the land of the free
And the home of the brave
We do it freestyle, you-and-me style
Like they did in the good old days
We do it for the heroеs overseas
And the hеroes holding down home
To all the big cities, all the small towns
Let's crank it up and get it on
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
We fly that red, white, blue high
Waving all across the land
We got them good times on ice
And Old Glory's on a can
Everything's made in the USA
Hand on your heart when the song gets played
When the gloves come off, you'll find out where you stand
That's real American
[Verse 2: Brantley Gilbert]
Oh, Hulk got it started
So we're ready to rumble
It's the best of the best playing chess
With American muscle
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
We fly that red, white, blue high
We're waving all across the land
We got them good times on ice
And Old Glory's on a can
And everything's made in the USA
Hand on your heart when the song gets played
When the gloves come off, you'll find out where you stand
That's real American
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
We fly that red, white, blue high
Waving all across the land
We got them good times on ice
And Old Glory's on a can
Everything's made in the USA
Hand on your heart when the song gets played
When the gloves come off, you'll find out where you stand
That's real American
[Bridge: Brantley Gilbert]
That's real American
That's real American
Yeah
[Outro: Brantley Gilbert]
And I wrote this next song with a good friend of mine named Colt Ford
And Jason Aldeen changed her life and put it on country radio
This is "Dirt Road Anthem"
[Part III: Dirt Road Anthem]
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
I said I'm chillin' on a dirt road
Laid back, swervin' like I'm George Jones
Your smoke rollin' out the window
An ice cold beer sittin' in the console
Memory lane up in them headlights
It's got me reminiscin' on them good times
Said I'm turning off of real life drivin', that's right
Hittin' easy street on mud tires
[Verse 1: Brantley Gilbert]
Yeah, back in the day, Pott's farm was the place to go
Load the truck up, hit the dirt road
We could jump the barbwire, spread the word
Light the bonfire, then call the girls
King in the can and the Marlboro man
Jack 'n' Jim were a few good men
Where ya learned how to kiss and cuss and fight too
Better watch out for the boys in blue
And all this small town he said, she said
Ain't it funny how rumors spread?
Like I know something y'all don't know
Man, that sh— is getting old
You need to mind your business, man, watch your mouth
'Fore I have to knock that loud mouth out
I'm tired of talkin', man, y'all ain't listening
Old dirt roads what y'all missing
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
Chillin' on a dirt road
Laid back, swervin' like I'm George Jones
Your smoke rollin' out the window
An ice cold beer sittin' in the console
Memory lane up in them headlight
Got me reminiscin' on them good times
Said I'm turning off of real life drivin', that's right
I'm hittin' easy street on mud tires
[Verse 2: Brantley Gilbert]
Well, I sit back and think about them good ol' days
The way we were raised and our southern ways
And we like cornbread and biscuits
And if it's broke 'round here, we fix it
See, I can take y'all where you need to go
Down to my hood and back in them woods
We do it different 'round here, that's right
But we sure do it good and we do it all night
If you really wanna know how it feels
To get off the road with trucks and four wheels
Then jump on in, tell your friends
We'll be raising hell right where the blacktop ends
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
Chillin' on a dirt road
Laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones
Smoke rollin' out the window
An ice cold beer sittin' in the console
Memory lane up in them headlight
It's got me reminiscin' on them good times
Said I'm turning off of real life drivin', that's right
Hittin' easy street on mud tires
Adam Curry, ladies and gentleman
[Bridge: Brantley Gilbert]
Jump, Hollywood
[Verse 3: Brantley Gilbert]
I was brought up in a small town in north Georgia
Raised on some baptist morals
In a front row pew for the Sunday roll call
Everybody praise the Lord
Yeah, I grew up, learned how to hunt and fish
Bust a 12 gauge pump and not miss
A life without work, that's just a myth
Never listen when they talking sh— haha
My dad taught me how to stand my ground
Be a man, boy, and never back down
Don't start up something, but if he's talking trash
You better throw the first punch and whoop his—
Be somebody, make a name for yourself
Life is hard, you goin' through hell
There comes a time when you got to slow down
That's what we doing now
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
But we chillin' on a dirt road
Laid back, swervin' like I'm George Jones
Your smoke rollin' out the window
An ice cold beer sittin' in the console
Memory lane up in them headlights
It's got me reminiscin' on them good times
Said I'm turning off of real life drivin', that's right
Hittin' easy street on mud tires
Let's ride, bo—
[Part IV: I Hope]
[Intro: Gabby Barnett]
Ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh
[Verse 1: Gabby Barnett]
I, I hope she makes you smile, yeah
The way you made me smile on the other end of a phone
In the middle of a highway driving alone
Oh, baby, I, I hope you hear a song
That makes you sing along and gets you thinking 'bout her
Then the last several miles turn into a blur, yeah
[Chorus: Gabby Barnett]
I hope you're both feelin' sparks by the end of the drive
You know she's the one by the end of the night
You never ever felt more free
Tell your friends that you're so happy, yeah
I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
You spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
She's wilder than your wildest dreams
She's everything you're ever gonna need
And then I hope she cheats
Like you did on me, yeah
And then I hope she cheats
Like you did on me
[Verse 2: Gabby Barnett]
Yeah, babe, I hope she shows up in a 2 a.m. pic from her friend
Hanging on to a guy and you just ain't him
I hope you stay up all night all alone, waitin' by the phone
And then she calls
And baby, I, I hope you work it out
Forgive and just about forget
And take her on a first date again
And when you lean in for a kiss
[Chorus: Gabby Barnett]
I hope you're both feelin' sparks by the end of the drive
You know she's the one by the end of the night
You never ever felt more free
Tell your friends that you're so happy, yeah
I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
You spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
She's wilder than your wildest dreams
She's everything you're ever gonna need
(And then I hope she cheats)
(Like you did on me) Come on
And then I hope she cheats
Like you did on me, ooh
[Bridge: Gabby Barnett]
What goes comes all the way around, yeah
I hope she makes you feel the same way about her
That I feel about you right now
[Chorus: Gabby Barnett]
I hope you're both feelin' sparks by the end of the drive
You know she's the one by the end of the night
You never ever felt more free
Tell your friends that you're so happy, yeah
I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
You spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
She's wilder than your wildest dreams
She's everything you're ever gonna need, yeah
(And then I hope she cheats)
Like you did on me
(And then I hope she cheats)
Like you did on me, yeah
[Outro: Gabby Barnett]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Part V: Good Ones]
[Intro: Gabby Barnett]
Ooh
[Verse 1: Gabby Barnett]
He's a phone call to his parents
He's a Bible by the bed
He's the t-shirt that I'm wearing
He's the song stuck in my head
He's solid and he's steady
Like the Allegheny runs
He knows just where he's going
And he's proud of where he's from
[Pre-Chorus: Gabby Barnett]
He's one of the good ones, yeah
Ooh, yeah, he's one of the good ones, come on
[Chorus: Gabby Barnett]
A love me like he should one
Like he wrote the book one
The kind you find when you don't even look one
Anybody can be good once
But he's good all the time
He's one of the good ones, sing it with me
And he's all mine, yeah
He's one of the good ones
[Verse 2: Gabby Barnett]
You'll know him when you see him
By the way he looks at me
You'd say he hung the moon
I'd say he hung the galaxy
Nobody does it better
Oh, the way he pulls me in
I've known a couple bad ones
But they all led me to him
[Pre-Chorus: Gabby Barnett]
He's one of the good ones
[Chorus: Gabby Barnett]
A love me like he should one
Like he wrote the book one
The kind you find when you don't even look one
Anybody can be good once
But he's good all the time
He's one of the good ones, you sing it, come on
(And he's all mine) Yeah
He's one of the good ones
[Bridge: Gabby Barnett]
We should all find us one, yeah
They're out there, minus one
Some of the good ones
Yeah, I got a good one
[Chorus: Gabby Barnett]
A love me like he should one
Like he wrote the book one
The kind you find when you don't even look
Anybody can be good once
But he's good all the time
He's one of the good ones, come on
He's all mine, yeah
He's one of the good ones
He's all mine
[Part VI: Drinking Class]
[Intro: Lee Brice]
I belong to the drinking class
[Verse 1: Lee Brice]
We're up when the rooster crows (Ooh)
Clock in when the whistle blows (Ooh)
Eight hours ticking slow, ooh
And then tomorrow, we'll do it all over again
[Pre-Chorus: Lee Brice]
I'm a member of a blue collar crowd
They can never, no, they can't keep us down
If you gotta, you gotta label me
You label me proud
[Chorus: Lee Brice]
'Cause I belong to the drinking class
Monday through Friday, man, we bust our backs
If you're one of us, raise your glass
'Cause I belong to the drinking class
[Verse 2: Lee Brice]
We laugh, we cry, we love (Ooh)
Go hard when the going's tough (Ooh)
Push back on push and shove, ooh
If you knock us down, we'll get back up again and again
[Pre-Chorus: Lee Brice]
I'm a member of a good timing crowd
We get rowdy, we get wild and loud
If you gotta, you gotta label me
You'll label me proud
[Chorus: Lee Brice]
'Cause I belong to the drinking class
Monday through Friday, man, we bust our backs
If you're one of us, then raise up your glass
'Cause I belong to the drinking class
[Outro: Lee Brice]
Well, Charlie, he gave people microphones
So they could say what was on their mind
This is what's on mine
[Part VII: Country Nowadays]
[Verse 1: Lee Brice]
I just wanna catch my fish, drive my truck, drink my beer
And not wake up to all this stuff I don't want to hear
Like the same kind of gun I hunt with, just killed another man
When the only thing mine ever shot was a deer from my deer stand
I just want to cut my grass, feed my dogs, wear my boots
Not turn the TV on, sit and watch the evenin' news
Be told if I tell my own daughter that little boys ain't little girls
I'll be up the creek in hot water in this cancel-your-ass world
[Chorus: Lee Brice]
It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
The direction the fingers point when everything goes up in flames
Sayin' I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was down south, Jesus raised
It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
[Verse 2: Lee Brice]
I just wanna cut my grass, watch my game, say my prayers
Not get a picture of a flag up in flames while people cheer
Oh, the same one my grandaddy fought for, stomped on like it's trash
And I'm a downright hateful monster if I back the blue and badge
[Chorus: Lee Brice]
It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
The direction the fingers point when everything goes up in flames
Sayin' I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was red letter, Jesus raised
It ain't easy being country in this country
[Bridge: Lee Brice]
Because I have my morals and a small town point of view
You assume that you don't like me means that I don't like you, too
[Outro: Lee Brice]
It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays
In this country nowadays
[Part VIII: Hard to Love]
[Verse 1: Lee Brice]
I am insensitive, I have a tendency to
Pay more attention to the things that I need
Sometimes I drink too much, sometimes I test your trust
Sometimes I don't know why you're staying with me
[Chorus: Lee Brice]
I'm hard to love, hard to love, oh, I don't make it easy
I couldn't do it if I stood where you stood
I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me
Well, I don't deserve it, but I love that you love me good
[Post-Chorus: Lee Brice]
Yeah, you love me good, baby
[Bridge: Lee Brice]
Girl, you've given me a million second chances
And I don't ever wanna take you for granted
I'm just a man, I'm just a man
[Chorus: Lee Brice]
Hard to love, hard to love, oh, I don't make it easy
I couldn't do it if I stood where you stood
I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me
Well, I don't deserve it, but I love that you love me good
[Outro]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our homeboy, Kid Rock
[Part IX: Bawitdaba]
[Intro: Kid Rock]
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie
My name is Kid
Let's get it rippin', hit it
[Chorus: Kid Rock]
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie (Hear your throat, wait)
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy

Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie
[Verse: Kid Rock]
And this is for the questions that don't have any answers
The midnight glancers and the topless dancers
The gander freaks, the cars packed with speakers
The G's with the 40's and the chicks with beepers
The Northern Lights and the Southern Comfort
And it don't even matter if their veins are punctured
All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics
And all my heroes in the Methadone clinics
All you bastards at the IRS
This for the crooked cops and the cluttered desks
This for the shots of Jack and the caps of meth
The half pints of love and the 5ths of stress
This for my hookers all trickin' out in Hollywood
And for my hoods of the world misunderstood
I said, "It's all good, and it's all in fun"
Now get in the pit and try to love someone
[Part X: Cello & Violin Symphony]
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our brother Robert Ritchie
[Part XI: 'Til You Can't]
[Verse 1: Kid Rock]
You can tell your old man
You'll do some large mouth fishing, another time
You got too much on your plate
To bait and cast a line
You can always put a rain check in his hand
[Refrain: Kid Rock]
'Til you can't
'Til you can't
[Verse 2: Kid Rock]
And you could keep putting off forever
With that girl whose heart you hold
Swearing that you'll ask some day
Further down the road
You can always put a diamond on her hand
[Refrain: Kid Rock]
'Til you can't
'Til you can't
[Chorus: Kid Rock]
If you got a chance, take it
Take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it
'Cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold them as long and as strong
And as close as you can
[Refrain: Kid Rock]
Until you can't
'Til you can't
[Verse 3: Kid Rock]
Now there's a box of greasy parts
Sitting in the trunk of that '65
Still waiting on you and your grandpa
To bring it back to life
You can always get around
To fixing up that old Pontiac
[Refrain: Kid Rock]
'Til you can't
'Til you can't
[Chorus: Kid Rock]
If you got a chance, take it
Take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it
'Cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold them as long and as strong
And as close as you can
[Refrain: Kid Rock]
'Til you can't
Until you can't
[Bridge: Kid Rock]
You know I awoke
One Sunday morning, all alone
With this song stuck in my head
And in that moment
Something or someone spoke to me
They said, there was still a verse
That needed to be written for this song
And to get up and write it down
[Verse 4: Kid Rock]
There's a book that's sitting in your house somewhere
That could use some dusting off
There's a man who died for all our sins
Hanging from the cross
You can give your life to Jesus
And he'll give you a second chance
[Refrain: Kid Rock]
'Til you can't
'Til you can't
[Chorus: Kid Rock]
If you got a chance, take it
Take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it
'Cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold them as long and as strong
And as close as you can
[Refrain: Kid Rock]
Until you can't
Until you can't
[Chorus: Kid Rock]
If you got a chance, take it
Take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it
'Cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold them as long and as strong
And as close as you can
[Refrain: Kid Rock]
'Til you can't
Until you can't
Until you can't
Until you can't
[Part XII: Charlie Kirk Tribute]
[Monologue: Charlie Kirk]
I want to honor God in all that I do
I want to be a great husband, a great father
I want to serve this country
I want to try to continue to lead this movement
And to speak truth and to never lie
To stop thinking about yourself all the time
And instead think about what you should do
To help other people and to defend this country above yourself
I am so inspired, this army of freedom fighters
We're gonna be around for the next hundred, two-hundred years
Because we know in the end, our ideas will win
God should be the most important thing in your life
But then beyond that, it's getting married, having children, building families
My kids are my most important thing in my world
My wife, my kids, my relationship with God, top three things
And the more often that you choose the deep
The difficult, but the right path over the easy path
Is one that will reward you, your family, and this beautiful nation
