Lyrics

There's no place on earth that I'd rather be
Now I've got my rights and my liberty
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA


Here's where I come from and for what I stand
I feel I'm living in the promised land
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA


If you ask me here's what I'll say
Let freedom ring and children play
I know I'm home and where I'll stay
I was born in the USA


I've made up my mind here's where I belong
This is my country and I will stay strong
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA


If you ask me here's what I'll say
Let freedom ring and children play
I know I'm home and where I'll stay
I was born in the USA
