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 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 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
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 USA
