God Bless the U.S.A. Lyrics
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 livin 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 wont 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 USA.
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.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.
That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont 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 USA.
And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont 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 USA.
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I tryed all day on the 4th to add this song, and something was wrong and wasn't letting me add a new artist, but I finally got it added. I think that everyone knows the meaning of this song.
every time i heard this song since 9/11 it has brought a tear to my eye
after 9/11, this song garnered new meaning for me....i'd listen to it on the 4th of july and that was it, now when i listen to this song i cry every time....
thankyou so much manicgypsy for adding this song....i was at a race and they cut off all the lights at the track and played this song to candle light...it was so pretty...this song is very meaningfull and it brings a tear to my eye too.
i'm not from the USA but i heard it on american idol...i can see how much it really means to those of u who are...and it's really nice too. the lyrics are very powerful. i bet if i were an American, i'd be in tears whenever i hear this song ;)
normstore, you can shut up. i serve this country today in the army. i fight for you everyday . so you suck, not this song.
thank you for serving this country because without you i wouldn't have my freedom i love this song because without you and everybody else i wouldn't have my freedom
thank you for serving this country because without you i wouldn't have my freedom i love this song because without you and everybody else i wouldn't have my freedom
Army132: I appreciate your service to this country, but I think your hostility towards me based on my opinion of Mr. Greenwood and his song is misguided. As you are serving in the Army, I can trust that you are bright enough to notice the hypocrisy in Lee Greenwood's lyrics based on his actions during the Vietnam War.
Why do you suppose he sings that he would "gladly stand up next to you" when he didn't do so when he had that opportunity? Is he a liar?
You state, "I fight for you every day . so you suck...". Your service and whether or not I suck are in no way related. And, since you say you fight for me, I assume that you are not in Iraq, because as you know, Iraq never posed a danger to our country. If anyone, you should be fighting for your buddies. Keep each other safe.
hahhahhah
"And, since you say you fight for me, I assume that you are not in Iraq, because as you know, Iraq never posed a danger to our country. If anyone, you should be fighting for your buddies. Keep each other safe."
thank you at least someone in this country has a brain.
Lee Greenwood stated:
"It angers me when I hear this. I never served in the military because I had children at the age of 17. I was given classification A3. The draft never got to that #. If it had, like my father, I would have left my wife and children to fight and die if necessary for my country."
