1. Toby Keith: “Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (The Angry American)”
My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye but he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free
2. Martina McBride: “Independence Day”
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It’s Independence Day.
3. Kenny Chesney: “American Kids”
We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby
Born in the USA
Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots
New York to LA
We were teenage dreamin’, front seat leanin’
Baby, come give me a kiss
Put me on the cover of the Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids
4. Carrie Underwood: “All-American Girl”
And now he’s wrapped around her finger,
She’s the center of his whole world.
And his heart belongs to that sweet little beautiful, wonderful, perfect all-American girl.
5. Lee Greenwood: “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
6. Aaron Tippin: “Where The Stars & Stripes & The Eagle Fly”
It’s a big ol’ land with countless dreams
Happiness ain’t out of reach
Hard work pays off the way it should
Yeah, I’ve seen enough to know that we’ve got it good
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
7. Montgomery Gentry: “My Town”
Hey where I was born
Where I was raised
Where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off cause I got mad
And I came to blows with my old man
Where I came back to settle down
This is where they’ll put me in the ground
This is my town
8. Kenny Chesney: “Back Where I Come From”
Back where I come from
Where I’ll be when it’s said and done
And I’m proud as anyone
That’s where I come from
9. Brooks & Dunn: “Only In America”
Only in America
Dreamin’ in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
10. Johnny Cash: “Ragged Old Flag”
So we raise her up every morning
We take her down every night
We don’t let her touch the ground and we fold her up right
On second thought, I do like to brag
‘Cause I’m mighty proud of that ragged old flag
