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.



Chorus: And 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 Minnisota

To the hills of Tennesse

Across the plains of Texas

From sea to shinning sea

From Detroit down to Houston

From New York to L. A.

There's a pride in every American heart

And it's time we stand and say



Chorus: And 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.



Chorus: And 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.
