If tomorrow all the things were goneI'd worked for all my life,And I had to start a new onewith just my children and my wife,I'd thank my lucky starsto be living here today,'Cause the flag still stands for freedomand they can't take that away.
And I'm proud to be an Americanwhere at least I know I'm free,And I won't forget the men who diedwho gave that right to me,And I gladly stand up next to youand defend her still today,'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this landGod Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesotato the hills of Tennessee,Across the plains of Texasfrom sea to shining sea.From Detroit down to Houstonand New York to L.A.,well There's pride in every American heartand it's time we stand and say:
That I'm proud to be an Americanwhere at least I know I'm free,And I won't forget the men who diedwho gave that right to me,And I gladly stand up next to youand defend her still today,'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this landGod Bless the U.S.A.
And I'm proud to be an Americanwhere at least I know I'm free,And I won't forget the men who diedwho gave that right to me,And I gladly stand up next to youand defend her still today,'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this landGod Bless the U.S.A.
