Skylar Grey - American

 
1
Copied!

{Verse 1}
Where's your honor, where's my pride?
Even when it's hard to find
From seed to harvest, it's been ingrained

Drive me past the fields of corn
As Johnny Cash blasts in your Ford
Just get me home to catch the big game

{Chorus}
'Cause I was born an American
On the same dark soil
Through the years and all the changes
Still there's no place like home
And, I will die an American

{Verse 2}
As fireflies and times of war
I think back to a time before
Of catching fireflies in my hands

Then it seems I grew up in a flash
A copper penny flying off a track
Free to fall in love with any man

{Chorus}
'Cause I was born an American
On the same dark soil
Through the years and all the changes
Still there's no place like home

I was born an American
And though I'm growin' old
Through the years and all the changes
Still there's no place like home

{Outro}
And I will die an American

Biography

Holly Brook Hafermann, better known by her stage name, Skylar Grey, is an American singer/songwriter. She has worked with a countless number of mainstream artists on incredibly successful songs. Some of the most popular of these include Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie,” Dr. Dre’s “I Need A Doctor,” and Nicki Minaj’s “Bed Of Lies.”

She has released three studio albums: Like Blood Like Honey, Don’t Look Down, and her most recent, Natural Causes, which produced four singles, and a feature from her frequent collaborating partner, Eminem.

Skylar gained 4 Grammy nominations for her work on “Love The Way You Lie” (2011) and “I Need a Doctor” (2012).

In an interview, Skylar explained the origin and meaning behind her artist name, saying:

Gray became my favorite color when I was going through a time in my life that was full of uncertainty, The color gray became a religion to me. Within the ‘undefined’ or ‘gray’ areas lies an infinite amount of possibilities. Believing in this helped me have hope for a positive shift in my future, as I was treading water in a sea of unknowns. Therefore, I started to surround myself with shades of gray. I threw out every piece of clothing in my closet that had color in it, and I moved to the Oregon coast, where the skies are gray and rainy, hence ‘Skylar.’

She even has a tattoo of the word “grey” written across her fingers, which further exemplifies her fondness of the color.
