Song Description

What it is felt by home loving Americans

Lyrics

As an American I eat apple pie,
Play baseball, under it's blue skies
As an American, I travel this land
And follow her roads, wherever I can

From Sea to shining sea, I've seen a lot
And none of it will be forgot
And when my country called, I gave my all
As an American
 
Verse1
  
I was born into freedom
In a wonderful land
Of mountains and plains
Rivers and lakes
Forever American is what I am
 
A past as rich as any can be
My fathers worked hard to give this to me
I love this place I come from
To live another way I can not foresee
 
Chorus

As an American I eat apple pie,
Play baseball, under it's blue skies
As an American, I travel this land
And follow her roads, wherever I can

From Sea to shining sea, I've seen a lot
And none of it will be forgot
And when my country called, I gave my all
As an American
 
Verse2
 
As an American, I've been to the peeks
Of majestic mountains where the air is sweet
I've watched the Eagle as it soars
In beautiful skies that just can't be ignored

And by this country I will always stand
For freedom and liberty for every man
When times are hard and things get rough
America always stand ready and tough

Chorus
As an American I eat apple pie,
Play baseball, under it's blue skies
As an American, I travel this land
And follow her roads, wherever I can

From Sea to shining sea, I've seen a lot
And none of it will be forgot
And when my country called, I gave my all
As an American

Forever American is what I am.
