Sarah Buxton - American Daughters lyrics

I left Lawrence, Kansas, At the age of seventeen, To chase down my own version, Of the American dream.. Cowboy boots, a tie-dye dress, In Mom's ol' mini-van: If a girl like me can do it, sister, I believe anybody can. Oh, the land, she is my mother; And freedom is my father. Yeah, and I am one of many, Strong, proud and beautiful American daughters. I got married way too young: No-one's fault but mine. An' it hurts when you grow, But you learn as you go that nothin' heals like time. I found my Faith in God, An' my first apartment on my own. An' now no matter where I ever go, I know I'll never be alone. 'Cause the land, she is my mother; Yes, and freedom, (Freedom.) Is my father. Yeah, and I am one of many, Strong, proud and beautiful American daughters. Resurrection Bay, Alaska; The Flinthills Roll in Kansa; Time Square, New York City; The Mississippi delta; Anywhere in Texas; Redstone, Colorado; Sedona, Arizona; The PCA to California; It's all home sweet home. 'Cause the land, she is my mother; Yes, and freedom, (Freedom.) Is my father. Yeah, and I am one of many, Strong, proud and beautiful; We're all strong, proud and beautiful; Yeah, we're strong, proud and beautiful American daughters. Strong, proud American daughters, yeah.
