Somebody emailed me and ask for the words to this and I sure think it says how we feel better than anywords I could write. Proud to be an American by 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 at least I know I'm free

But 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

From Detroit down to Houston

And New York to L.A.

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 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.
