God Bless The USA

This is one of my favorite songs. It's by Lee Greenwood and was played at a fellow Chief's retirement ceremony.


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
and I won't forget the men who died who 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.
where there's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say -

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'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.
