I'm Proud To Be An
American
Written 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.
