Week 725 - Proud to be an American - 07-05-2020

Proud to be an American

(Song and lyrics by Lee Greenwood @1984 Press the play arrow)

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 at least I know I'm free
And I won't 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 U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota, To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, From sea to shining sea

(Minnesota, Tennessee, San Antonio Texas, Atlantic)

From Detroit down to Houston, And New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart, And it's time we stand and say

(New York, Los Angeles)

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 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.

God bless the U.S.A.

With love, Pete, Ellen and Mandy
