Hit & Run played songs that were fast, tight, hook-laden, aggressive, and melodic at times, punctuated with group shouts, powerful guitars, rapid-fire drum patterns and scrabbling bass lines. Lyrically, Hit & Run pushed toward the progressive, personal and political, but without losing a sense of humor.

As of March 13, 2010, Hit & Run officially broke up.

Hit & Run Lyrics

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife

I'd thank my lucky stars
to be livin' here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away

And I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free
And I wont forget the men who died
who gave that right to me

And I gladly stand up
next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea

From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A
Well there's pride in every American heart
and its time we stand and say

That I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free
And I wont forget the men who died
who gave that right to me

And I gladly stand up
next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

And I'm proud to be and American
where at least I know I'm free
And I wont forget the men who died
who gave that right to me

And I gladly stand up
next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
