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 wifeI'd thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that awayAnd 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 meAnd 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 USAFrom the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining seaFrom 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 sayThat 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 meAnd 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 USA, God bless the USAAnd I gladly stand up
Next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
