God Bless the U.S.A.
by Lee Greenwood

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 living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away.





I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't 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 U.S.A.





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.,
There's pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:





I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't 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 U.S.A.

I'm Proud To Be An American

When one hears the name Lee Greenwood, we may immediately associate the name with the award winning patriotic song “God Bless the U.S.A.” that he has both written and performed before millions of loving fans. Who could ever forget General Norman Schwarzkopf using it as the victorious anthem for America’s quick triumph in the Persian Gulf war.

In 1985, a less publicized facet of Lee's talent was recognized when the CMA awarded him Song of the Year honors for penning both the words and music to "God Bless The USA."

After the Gulf War in 1991, Lee was one of the most in demand performers. Because of his support for the military and veterans during that time, Lee would often play two and sometimes three shows per day, traveling to and from in private jets.

His celebrity tours with the United Services Organization (USO) are one of the many high-profile charity organizations to which this humanitarian donates his time.
