It's in my blood and in my bones

Here are some lines from a Jackson Browne song called "For America":

I have prayed for America
I was made for America
It's in my blood and in my bones

My question is the following:

Is "It's in my blood and in my bones" a set expression?

Thank you

teal lime Is "It's in my blood and in my bones" a set expression? I'm not sure I'm willing to call it a set expression. Maybe just the part with "in my blood" is fairly set.
