The Good Old Usa
This country is young when compared to some
A prodigy though now I do declare
A one time she took in all that would come
Then said go west explore this land so fair
There were inventers here like Edison,
Tesla and Bell, writers like Clemens too
It's a land were freedom has surely come
It's a country were I can worship true
Sometimes we have spats like any family
But we come out stronger then we were 'fore
To build a land that so many envy
That guards are needed so our borders secure
I love this land that I have always known
It is were I cherish what I call home
