If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life

And I had to start all over with just my family by my side

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 ones 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 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

[Chorus]

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 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.

God Bless the U.S.A.

The U.S.A.
