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 ones who died

who gave that right to me.

And I'll 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 ones who died

who gave that right to me.

And, I'll 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!!
