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/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

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

[Repeat * ,
