De woorden van dit lied komen uit een gedicht, geschreven in 1814, van de dichter Francis Scott Key. De muziek is afkomstig van John Stafford Smith. In 1989 werd het officieel het nationale volkslied. De titel luidt: The Star-Spangled Banner.
Het lied telt 4 coupletten. LeAnn zingt alleen het eerste couplet. De overige 3 staan hieronder:

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

Later werd er ook nog een 5de couplet aan toegevoegd:

When our land is illumined with liberty's smile
If a foe from within strikes a blow at her glory
Down, down with the traitor that tries to defile
The flag of the stars, and the page of her story
By the millions unchained
Who their birthright have gained
We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
While the land of the free is the home of the brave
