Lyrics of
God Bless the USA

God Bless the USA is an American patriotic song written and recorded by American country music artist Lee Greenwood. The song was first released in 1984 and gained prominence nationally during the Gulf War in 1991 and then after the September 11 attacks in 2001 and during the Iraq War in 2003, serving as an anthem of American unity and pride.

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I worked for all my life.
And I had to start again
Just my children and my wife.
I thank my lucky stars,
To be living here today.
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away

I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died
And gave that right to me.
And 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 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.
There's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say

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
And gave that right to me.
And 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 USA!

I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died
And gave that right to me.
And 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 U - S - A!
