proud to be an american

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 living 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 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 la

well

there's pride in every american heart

and it's time we stand and say: 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 u.s.a. 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 u.s.a.
