"Lee Greenwood - God Bless The U.S.A. If tomorrow all the things were gone
I worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife 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 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 L.A.
There's pride in every American heart
And it's 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 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."

American Patriotism is not dead! Remember September 11, 2001

"I applaud the many radio-stations that have created montages using this and other patriotic compositions as well as radio stations of ALL FORMATS; Rock, Rap, Pop, Blues, Jazz, not just country stations which are playing Mr Greenwoods song, "God Bless the USA", in it's entirety. This song could hardly be considered "trite" (as one previous reviewer so sadly remarked) and this emotion in Lee Greenwoods performance of this song in particular brings a tear to many American's eyes, especially in the light of the recent traqedy.Thank you Lee Greenwood, for creating a TIMELESS song about American Patriotism that we can all understand and identify with. Thank you for writing a song that has helped bring many Americans TOGETHER in demonstrating the PRIDE, Dedication and Resilience of the people of the USA.Today we are all AMERICANS..."
