Florida Georgia Line dedicated their performance of “U.S. Stronger” to the armed forces during Wednesday (June 3) evening’s two-hour CMT Celebrates Our Heroes: An Artists of the Year Special.
“When we fall down, we get back up/ We shake it off when things get tough/ We hit our knees and pray for help/ ‘Cause we ain’t ever by ourselves/ We lean on love and love to lean on one another/ ‘Cause what don’t take us, bend us, break us makes us stronger,” the duo sings on the chorus.
“U.S. Stronger” is a song from their 6-Pack EP.
