- Lee Greenwood - God Bless The USA
When "God Bless the USA" was released as a single for the first time, in 1984, it went to No. 7 on the country charts. That same year, the song was played at the Republican National Convention with then-president Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan in attendance -- and as the years have gone on, the tune has become a rallying cry during various times of crisis in America: after the launch of Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War in 1991, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 and more.
I wanted to write it my whole life. When I got to that point, we were doing 300 days a year on the road, and we were on our fourth or fifth album on MCA. I called my producer, and I said, "I have a need to do this." I've always wanted to write a song about America, and I said, "We just need to be more united."
Lyrics
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 living 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 won't 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 U.S.A.
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 it's time we stand and say
That I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't 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 U.S.A.
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't 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 U.S.A.

I love this song, I am a daughter of a world war II veteran who was shot and almost killed in Normandy and then was severely injured and very close to death in the Battle of the Bulge . Even though my dad went through a lot he always loved his country and taught us the meaning of patriotism. To this day and I'm 75 and still very patriotic I love my country and I love my president, President Trump. Even my 3-year-old grandson loves this song. His mom even made a video of him singing it all the way through for me. We were once in a restaurant and all of a sudden he started belting the song out right in the dining room. My heart gets overjoyed to hear this little 3 year old child no matter where he goes, wanting to sing God Bless the USA.
I served during the Vietnam era from 68-73. I love this country and very proud to be an American 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service !
Thank you so much. My Dad was in Vietnam, Marine corps. Got sick from agent orange, the poison america put on our troops, but survived thanks to clinical trials at the Cleveland clinic. Thank you for everything.
i served from 69 to 75
Thank you for your service and may God bless you. 🇺🇸
I'm a 75 year old. This is one of my favorite songs ever. God bless Lee.
Lee Greenwood wrote and sang this beautiful song with the passion for America. Am an old lady and I cry every time I hear this. My uncle died in Normandy 3 months before I was born. They didn't tell my mother because she might miscarry and I can't imagine what my grandparents went through. Freedom comes with a heavy price and don't ever take it for granted.
So true thanks for sharing your story Mary
Never, sorry you never knew your dad!
I’m 71, I could not serve in Vietnam because of health issues. But I love and respect our country, our Flag and ALL OUR VETERANS! This song fills my heart with pride!!!
@@chuckcelentano8673 Sorry about health issues. The way our troops were treated when they came HOME from Vietnam was horrible. God bless the ones who survived the war they didn't ask for.
Bless your uncle and your family. May the things he fought for prosper and grow.
God bless President Trump and keep him safe.
I am not a born American citizen, but I love this country since day one. God bless the United States of America.
What country were you born in?
Your An American we all come from different places, and we are all brothers.
Hey guys.This song makes me feel free.God did bless The u s a
What do you love it for for the great healthcare they offer you and the reasonable drugs😊 that you need to survive in most cases?!!! You should love the geography and the nature included in the country but the rest needs work heavy duty work!!!
@@Two-brothers-stackingvery distant Brothers I would say if you believe in the Bible which I do believe that it's the truth. So as brothers we should do good on to each other not what is being done over here killing and shooting and all sorts of deplorable things that daily news reports happens in this country all over the place and that's the tip of the iceberg.
As a Vietnam Combat Veteran, this song brings tears of pride to me. God bless America.
I feel the pride in your tears sir 🙏 God bless you and thank you for your service to our country ❤️
Thank you for your service
Thank-you Denny for your service for our freedoms we all have. Thank-you all veterans and their families. We can't thank-you you all enough. God bless YOU!!!❤🇺🇸🕇
@dennyt7475.. Thank you for your service, sir.

The daughter of a WWII veteran, shot down and being a POW. I salute all veterans, and Lee Greenwood for writing such a beautiful tribute!
One of the most soul stirring songs about America ever written. I love this country and am proud to be an American!
As a retired combat vet, I will be the first to say America has plenty of problems, But I love this country, very proud to have defended the Freedom of the American people
Thank you for your service! God bless you! And well said!
With you brother
I love you for what you did for our country, my Dad was in the military ww2, he had the same ideas!❤🇺🇸.
I still cry and get chills every time I hear this song. God bless the USA! Thank you Lee Greenwood and Thank You to ALL the soldiers serving now and who have served & died to keep this country free!
Me to
I am Canadian and I love this song , people in the US should be very proud and respectful of the country they live in, respect in Canada has been lost just like it has in America. We need to bring respect back into our school’s government and our lives . I’ve always been proud to be your neighbor. Thank you America.
I'll admit it. I am U.S citizen, but I have undocumented immigrant parents. However, that doesn't stop me and them from loving this wonderful nation. It's not Republicans or Democrats, but only Americans. God bless the USA. Amen
get em documented so they can start paying taxes and keep this nation alive
a long time ago I had a drill sergeant tell my while I was in basic training for the army, tell me that some of the most patriotic Americans are those who are not natural born citizens, and from my experience over the past 11 years of me being in the army it is 100 percent true.
@@guardArmy I am a natural born citizen and I love our country and it Constitution and all my fellow patriots.
:)
@@larrym.johnson9219 Thank you, Sir, for serving and protecting us.😎
America wake up and listen to this song and play it LOUDLY so all can hear and pray for our country defend our flag and God bless the USA
Yesameerica
You are right love this Country!
We will
Beautiful....
I totally agree; our country and foundation upon which it was founded is under attack today. We really need to pray for our freedom to be preserved🙏!
The daughter of a WWII veteran this song brings tears. God bless!!
The greatest generation
My brother served in Vietnam and I'm thankful he was able to come home. He's in heaven with the good Lord and I miss him so very much ❤🤍💙
Without a doubt, the most important song ever written. Proud to be an American.
Amen
I’d say national anthem is but this one is amazing too
This song grabs me and won't let go. Watched Lee Greenwood sing this song in concert, a decade before it became the anthem for 9/11. This video is the BEST I've seen for this song. It shows what the words mean to me. God bless the USA!
Absolutely.
Ballad of ho chi minh is better
I can’t be the only proud American who cries every time he hears this beautiful song. God please stand over us and fix this crazy world and give us our America back GOD BLESS THE USA
I feel the same. America the Beautiful
I second this. Your so right
Guy, you are not the only American that sheds tears over this song, and just thinking how half our country is so fucked up, maybe not half or even a quarter. The media is so toxic.
@@layyouin8420 TRUMP makes me want to fight for our country I used to be Democrat until 2020.
@@layyouin8420 I was Democrat in 2016
I don’t care what anyone says America is the greatest nation to ever exist! What we have done in the past 200 years of our existence is unprecedented in history. No other nation even comes close to what we have achieved!
God bless and protect Lee Greenwood, his family and God bless the United States of America.
In January, 1991, I was on one of many, military buses, along with a few hundred soldiers, parked on the tarmac at Louisville International Airport. About 20 or 30 yards away, was a chartered TWA 747, waiting to take us to the Middle East and Desert Storm.
The bus I was on, was about the fourth or fifth bus in a line of many, waiting to unload the soldiers and board the 747. “The bus driver had his radio on.”
When it came time for our bus to unload, we stood up, stepped into the aisle of the bus and headed slowly to the door to exit. As we were unloading, standing in the aisle, looking out the windows of the bus and staring at that 747, Lee Greenwood’s song “God Bless the U.S.A. came on. That was a moment in time I will never forget.
I am an immigrant and I love this country so much that I consider it as my home country . My two sons were born here . I am very proud to be an American! May God bless USA- my country
im in my 30s and this brings tears when I play, thank you all for your sacrifice.
The older I get, the more I am starting to understand what the USA is about. God bless your Flag and your People.
I am a Vietnam Veteran. I am proud of what we did and I would do it all over again.
Thank you for your service 🙏 ❤
I am French...my grandfathers both fought Germans...we will NEVER forget what you guys did for our freedom and dignity here in Europe. NEVER.
GOD BLESS THE USA 🇫🇷💙🇪🇺❤🇬🇧🇺🇸
I really appreciate that. God Bless You all as well.
Céline How very awesome of you to say that, Celine ! May God bless you, also !
@@Melody-285 thanks Dear Melody :)
It is important to me to remind how grateful we remain towards the Boys' courage and bravery.
Far beyond some political differences...here as everywhere else...your country is a DREAM.
Céline ❤️
Céline It breaks my heart that some people don’t see it like that - they come from terrible places like Somalia and you would think they would be so happy to be here, but I think all they want is destruction and what they think Socialism is 😰
We really need more people to stand up and just think of all those brave soldiers who have sacrifice there lives for 🇺🇸, God Bless you My heros !!!
Amen! Thank-you!!!!❤🇺🇸🕇
I LOVE AMERICA!!
I’m a citizen living in Texas, but my parents emigrated from China. I’m so glad I got to grow up here, where at least I know I’m free.
Thank you to everyone who put their lives on the line for our freedom! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Say I have a question when was the last time United States Continental was attacked ?
I think you're confusing going out of your borders and attacking others as defense of your country,
@@lotusjp don't like the USA ....leave!
I wasn't born here but I been a citizen for a long time now and this is my America, and I'm so proud of flying my flag and wear my parrot tee shirts all the time.
Good man Jesus!
Just wish the young ones would understand the cost of this freedom ! Sadly.... they've been indoctrinated and our Country is in trouble. Thank you for the support and prayers!
You are an American.
You sir are an asset to our country. Welcome. ❤️💙🇺🇸🌹
Who else bleeds red white and blue!!!??
Lee Greenwood your song "I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" is the most beautiful patriotic song ever written. IT TOUCHES billions HEARTS AND SOULS and united a country, when played for huge crowds. The words in this song was only given to you by the Almighty GOD to have an impact on America forever. Lee we love your loving soul for giving us so much hope, love and peace. President Trump knew the lyrics were the right words in this dark time for America and its existence. President Trump is a good man the best President ever. GOD bless you and your family.
One of the most unifying songs ever written and performed.
We are all Americans 1st
Jonmicah Milbourn United We Stand together forever.
This most unifying song had been usurpated by th most disgusting, dividing president of US history. And Lee Greenwood agreed
Patriots strong !
@@scharlui Amen to that.
Thank you , Jim William to bring this song, touched my 💗 . Keep on good job, hope more videos coming soon.☺️
My nephew Luke just left for the Navy this past Sunday. He is 18 years old. Luke is also my Godson. Everybody please pray for him and for his safety. I am very proud of my nephew that he is serving his country.
Was in the Royal Marines (british army) loved to aid the USA good luck to your nephew is he in Air Force navy etc
Praying for Luke.
God bless the USA The home we love and we thanks to the ones that fought for the United States
Thanks for his service
Praying for his safety
I didn't ever serve in the military but my oldest brother was a crew chief on a C9 Medivac in the Air Force and owe all of our Veterans the recognition and thanks for being American!!
I am proud to be an American 🇺🇸 this is a great song for USA. God bless America 🇺🇸
Vietnam Combat Veteran here, proud to be an American.
What did God say about pride? And what did God say about senseless killing or killing to begin with?! And what does every reasonable and intelligent being say about it exclamation mark
Gives me goose bumps! This song needs to be spread out to America if only most people only understood
Most do we just don't get media coverage
My husband and oldest son both served in the Air Force, and my younger son served as a Marine. Yes we are proud to be American.
I love my flag , it stands for all the men and women in the service and for all the firefighters all over the world they have a hard job. Thank you all for keeping all of us aafe
I'm proud to say today I'm an American citizen God bless the USA
I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. THANK YOU LEE GREENWOOD.
I'm listening to this song Veterans Day of 2022. I love this song so very much and I want to thank all of the veterans that died to keep this country safe whether they be four legged or two legged. Thank you Lee Greenwood for this wonderful song this is awesome I love it and I play it all the time! And I pray that God will reach everyone's part in this country and we will join hands as a nation under God and be the light in the Darkness when evil tries to rear its ugly head. God Bless America and its people!
Proud to be an American! This country now needs every patriot more than ever! We need take our country back!
This always gives me chills and brings tears... Love Lee Greenwood
One of the greatest American Songs.
Gave me chills as soon as it started tonight with all that’s going on with America right now.. But heck usually some part of the song it does because it’s such a meaningful SONG !!
Me. too
@@MusicToYourEars1963 Ifyou mean , that It's the greatest Kitsch, I agree
Very patriotic I love my USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 1 of the best theme songs ever
Patriotism can not be truly explained. It is embedded deep within the soul. Born on this soil, a Black American, poor and I love God, family, and this country. I enjoy freedom WWG1WGA.
We are American patriots We are Family we are equal with each other.
Got that right
you're a great lady pamela..
You an abject moron, Pamela Thomas, if you believe that QAnon horseshit.

Brings tears to my eyes every single time. God Bless America
I played this song on my grandpa birthday today, He passed away in WTC when 9/11 attack, work on the 104th floor, Cantor Fitzgerald of the North tower, Thank you and Never Forget 🕊️😢
Beautiful version of this great song. God Bless America..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Mary
Its Lee's song. No one sings it like him.
I am a Canadian and I remember hearing this when it came out. It went straight to my core, my heart.Still does to this day.❤️
This immigrant loves this country with all his heart. God bless America 🇺🇸
My father served for 27 months, in North Africa, during WWII. His brother was in the Navy. God bless the USA!!!
Now of all times, please document the “thumbs up”. We need this affirmation that we live in the best nation in the world! I love my America. Diane
I love my America too.
I love America
I love America and was proud to serve.
I think the thumbs down are for Greenwood, his allegiance is to Trump, not the United States or our soldiers. He sold out, such a shame.
This song should be our National Anthem. It gives me goosebumps.
I may not be an American, but this song brings joy to my heart. God Bless America from an Aussie friend.
God bless Australia and all Her patriots much respect from an American your friend.
God bless Australia . from an american friend.
God bless u all also😊💖
Thank you our Aussie friend. This song/video brought tears to this lucky American. We appreciate you also.
Thank you Aussie friend! And GOD bless you and your loved ones!!!
America 🇺🇸 I love this land and will forever defend the less fortunate and looked down upon.
Beautiful country, beautiful song, beautiful people God bless the USA !!!
From Russia 🇷🇺!!!!!!
God bless the 🇺🇸 from Japan 🇯🇵
God bless the both of you two and your countries
From the United States of America 🇺🇸
Love the Russian people & the Japanese people.... It's the governments that suck😂
We need to hear this more on the radios with all that's going on in this country right now
I heard it as I was foolin'around on TH-cam, it was played in a video of a soldier's body's "coming home" (I hope the word is correct), after he was killed in Afghanistan, where a young French friend of mine was killed too while he was serving up there.
I was instantly moved to tears and regret so much that this wonderful song remain unknown beyond US borders. This is not only an American anthem...but also a wonderful piece of patriotic pride, and respect towards the men who fought for us, and everything we owe them. No matter their nationality.
Once is already too much
@@frankfiloteo8224 Amen and thank you for your service sir. I would 100% agree with you.
GOD HAVE MERCY....A SONG IS NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH!!! WE NEED OUR FOREFATHERS AND GENERAL PATTON TYPE MEN TO THROW THESE DOMESTIC ENEMIES OUT!!!!!!!!
Sir, I beg to differ. I would gladly stand next to you to defend this country. My brother, father, uncle's, grandfathers all served, proudly. As far back as I can remember, whenever the military would pass, one hand on my heart in respect not only for my family who served, not only for the soldiers but for my country also. These days my hat comes off as well. I didn't serve. Thank you for your service.
I love this song so much. Makes me so proud to be an American
My mom's parents came from Poland. My dad came from the UK. They CHOSE to become Americans and were proud and grateful to be here.
Gee have you looked at Poland lately now you can be sorry you're here. They have health care you don't and if you do you think through your nose and so will your children! Oh I forgot the medications the eyeglasses the dental did I leave anything out Ohhooaah 😂😮😮😮😮😮
I am born Native American and I love this land.
And country, Iserved and fought for your freedom
I'm black and let me tell you this never gets old.
Dear God please make our people wake up, respect our country and be proud they’re an American!!

Playing it on Christmas Day!
Proud to be an American! God bless the USA.
He won't bless you as long as you keep killing each other and not loving each other and stealing from each other! Just writing God bless America on your currency doesn't mean anything religiously it's a farce if you look at what's happening in in the place within these borders I might add 50 boards because you act like you're not one country!
God Bless the USA I am proud to be a america my favorite patriotic song
Of all the love/sad songs today this one will always bring me to tears with what our country has become 😢 But I won't give up on the ones who fought to make it great!!!
This song has always brought tears to my eyes even when I was in college in the 1980’s. My late Grandfather joined the navy at age 17 after Pearl Harbor-he did not have to go as his Mother had been widowed years prior. However he had the sense of duty & commitment to his God, Country, Flag and family. When 9-11 hit he was ready to join the military again and serve his country, but he was not happy as they would not take a 70+ year old. We need to hear this song everyday & hold it’s meaning deep in our hearts & beliefs. Our country is taking a direction that the silent majority does not want. We all have been so busy going to school, getting training, working hard & working our way up the corporate ladder, raising our families -that we have allowed a very vocal minority take over & lead us into a direction that makes our founding fathers rolling over in their graves. Every man, woman & child that has lost their life defending our freedoms that we are now allowing them to be altered from the original Bill of Rights & Constitution. I lost my father 13 years ago defending our beautiful country. In a way I am glad he is gone so he does not have to see what has happened in 2020-2021.
I lived in USA for 9 years , then i moved back to my country . When i listen this song , believe me , i understand the pasion , the proud and the feelings of each american citizen . Great song for a great Nation !
This beautiful song is screaming to us all, "Love me Americans, take care of me Americans, honor me Americans, I am your country Americans. I tear up every time I listen to it. Thank you a billion times over to ALL that have served and gave your own life for OUR country. God Bless the USA. 🇺🇸
One of the best songs ever written.

Proud to be an American!!! God bless the USA!!!💙🙏🏻🇺🇸

Oh mannnnn.....I MISS PRESIDENT TRUMP when all was well in America :(
🇺🇸 GOD BLESS AMERICA AND AMERICAN 🇺🇸💝🇺🇸💝🇺🇸💝🇺🇸💝🇺🇸💝
Can’t hear this enough, people are forgetting about the people who were brought up with respect . The USA is ruled by mortal men who make mistakes. She is imperfect but deserves the best we can do to guide her in the right way. Instead of blaming America blame the politicians who only have their interests in mind. We as a nation needs to learn how to stand up and defend our country, against any and all who seek to take our freedom away.
Absolutely it is time to come together and protect this great nation.
Janis - I totally agree with your comments. Thank you so much for your posting.
Jim, and how exactly are we going to protect ourselves from Mr Biden? Who is solely destined, intent and on course to destroying our nation as quickly as possible and taking away our freedom. We have already failed, failed miserably in our quest to protect our so called 'freedom'
Agree Janis, my family fought for this country in war , and I’m willing to fight to take back this country back from these clowns that want to ruin it, everyone who gave their life for this country would be spinning in their grave when they see what’s happening now in this country, we need to take back our country,
