If tomorrow all
The things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again
And begin a brand new life

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 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 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 L.A.
Well there's pride
In every American heart
And its 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 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 USA

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 USA
