Lyrics
This country that we live in,
It makes no sense at all
We all seem so different
Yet we're not at all
Whether from the city
or way out on the farm
Our hearts all bleed RED, WHITE and BLUE
I'm proud to be an American
I'm proud to take a stand
I'm proud to tell the whole damn world that I'm American
You may not be real happy
about the shape our country's in
But it's still the land of all the lands where we can all live free
Many young Americans have marched across the field
We'll gladly shed our own blood for freedom in the land ! !
I'm proud to be an American
I'm proud to take a stand
I'm proud to tell the whole damn world that I'm American
