Happy Birthday America

Proud to be American
~Lee Greenwood

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 living 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

as 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 LA, Well

there’s pride in every American

heart, and it’s time to stand and say:

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
