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 to 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!
