If tomorrow all my things were gone I'd work for all my life. And I had had to start again, With just my children and my wife. And I'd think my lucky stars to be livin' here today, Cause the flag still stand 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 ones who died who gave that right to me And I'll 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 it's time we stand and say [Chorus]
