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 think 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 from New York to LA
There's pride in American heart and it's time to stand and say

That I'm proud to be an American...
And I'm proud to be an American...
