I was just about to go to bed, when I came up with the idea. Within a week, I had the lyrics just the way I wanted, and had recorded it.

Chorus: I’m proud to be livin’ in the USA It’s home for all - that is precious to me I’m proud – to be livin’ in the USA Where people are free to live – and love to be free Verse 1: My daddy fought for his country - And my grandpa fought before him. They believed in what this country was created for. Our rights were given by God – and in Him, we were to trust They risked their lives for everyone shore to shore Chorus Verse 2: I stand with all those who before me – stood up for what made it so great We treat our neighbors just as we expect for our own We stand for all that is right – and against whatever is wrong We never take advantage or throw the first stone Chorus Bridge: There’s too much that’s going on here – and it’s killing the home of the brave We’ve got to get back to where we started or we’ll dig our own grave
