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 wont forget the men 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 LA
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 wont forget the men 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 and American,
where at least I know I'm free
And I wont forget the men 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
