Listen my friends, I wanna tell you for real,
I need you to share a love that I feel.
From the time I was born we've beenarm in arm
and I'll always defend her to keep her from harm.
I've never been a drunkard and I don't like the pills but
her love is addictive as the blue Kentucky hills.
From the New York harbour to the Sanfrancisco bay,
I love this country more than I can say.

Well she goes by many names and the one's I dearly love is
America the beautiful and the land of the free.
America the beautiful and the land of the free.
Well if she's ever threatened she can call on me.
I will always defend her with my life if need be.
There's still a lot of people that like to put her down
but when your running down my country you're treading on bad ground.
When I wore the uniform I was proud as I could be, I stood
for my country so all could be free.
So when our boys come home after being over there,
give em the thumbs up so they'll know that you care.

Many of our solders have died all alone in some foreign land
so far away from home.
I will always remember and honour them still
for saving our country and freedom as well.
