Lyrics

The Beautiful, Dutiful U.S.A.
©Howard House Music/Paula Nolene Howard howardhousemusic@gmail.com
When I think of our country, the great U.S.A.----I think of our american soldiers who work to keep it safe.---They leave their homes for parts unknown,--- To go where they're often hated & berated.
But always duty bound, they take whatever comes down the road, / With pride and courage... they live 'by thier honor code'.
Here in 'the land of the free and the home of the brave', we're afforded freedoms not everyone in the world can take. So remember the women & men who serve to keep it that way, and be thankful for this beautiful, dutiful, country... the U.S.A.
We see our veterans come home still fighting the war within---- some don't come back at all, and some with missing limbs./ People complain about all they don't have, all they do is condemn---no mention of what this country has done for them.
We need to give a big 'THANK YOU!' shout, to those on the front line day in & day out.
Here in 'the land of the free and the home of the brave', we're afforded freedoms not everyone in the world can take. So remember the women & men who serve to keep it that way, and be thankful for this beautiful, dutiful, country... the U.S.A.
In closing let me say I agree with Merle..."If you don't love it, leave it", go live in some other part of the world, me... I'm happy to say, I am an american, and I LOVE THE U.S.A.
Here in 'the land of the free and the home of the brave', we're afforded freedoms not everyone in the world can take. So remember the women & men who serve to keep it that way, and be thankful for this beautiful, dutiful, country... the U.S.A.
Oh Beautiful for spacious skies.....in this beautiful, dutiful, country, the U.S.A.!
