AND I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN,
WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I'M FREE,
AND I WON'T FORGET THOSE WHO'VE 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 L.A.
WHERE THERE'S PRIDE IN EVERY AMERICAN HEART,
AND IT'S TIME WE STAND AND SAY.....
AND I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN,
WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I'M FREE,
AND I WON'T FORGET THOSE WHO'VE 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.
