“God Bless the USA”- Lee Greenwood 1984 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 livin' here today 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away 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'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA 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 LA Well, there's pride in every American heart And it's time we stand and say

That 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'd gladly stand up next to you / and defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA 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'd gladly stand up next to you /and defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
