I love that song.
I love this song, too:
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’m just catching up after a lovely vacation; thank you for those wonderful words.
My husband and I were honored and privileged to attend one of Lee Greenwood’s concerts in Maine a few years ago. Of course it was nothing short of phenomenal. At the end of it he stayed to sign t-shirts—one of my proudest possessions—and was very kind and courteous to everyone. He went thru the audience during the breaks, shaking hands with people.
A man was standing next to me and showed me a photo of Lee at the piano and said he took it one night at Lee’s home. Lee had said he had just written a song and would his friend listen to it and give his opinion on whether it would sell or not. And it was this song! The gentleman said he was going to ask Lee to sign the photograph.
I wonder how many, if any, liberals get teary hearing it. I think I already know the answer!
