America the Beautiful- Katharine Lee Bates, 1895. America's National Hymn.

"O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!"

Our Country- John Melloncamp, 2007.

"Well I can stand beside

Ideals I think are right

And I can stand beside

The idea to stand and fight

I do believe

There's a dream for everyone

This is our country"

My Country Tis of Thee- Samuel Francis Smith, 1831.

"My country, 'tis of thee,

Sweet land of liberty,

Of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died,

Land of the pilgrims' pride,

From every mountainside

Let freedom ring!"

This Ragged Old Flag- Johnny Cash, 1974.

"I walked through a county courthouse square

On a park bench, an old man was sittin' there.

I said, "Your old court house is kinda run down,

He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town."

Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue- Toby Keith, 2001.

"American girls and American guys will always stand up and salute;

Will always recognize

When we see ol' glory flying,

There's a lot of men dead,

So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head."

God Bless America- Irving Berlin, 1918 revised 1938.

"God Bless America, Land that I love.

Stand beside her, And guide her,

Thru the night with a light from above."


Born in the USA- Bruce Springsteen, 1984.

"Born down in a dead mans town

The first kick I took was when I hit the ground

You end up like a dog that's been beat too much

Till you spend half your life just covering up."

American Made- Oak Ridge Boys, 1983

"Seems everything I buy these days

Has got a foreign name

From the kind of car I drive

To my video game

I got a NIKKON camera

A Sony color TV

But the one that I love is from the U.S.A.

And standing next to me."

Grand Ole Flag- George M. Cohan, 1906.

"You're a grand old flag,

You're a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave.

You're the emblem of

The land I love.

The home of the free and the brave."


The American Way- Hank Williams Jr. 1990.

"If you fly in from Birmingham you'll get the last

If you blew in from Boston no you sure won't have to wait

and I'm learning, a little more every day

about the power of the dollar, and the people with white collars

and the good old American way"

Stars and Striped Forever- John Philip Sousa, 1896

"Let martial note in triumph float

And liberty extend its mighty hand

A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,

The banner of the Western land.

The emblem of the brave and true

Its folds protect no tyrant crew;

The red and white and starry blue

Is freedom's shield and hope."
