Lyrics
You know I got me a mansion down by the sea
Up on a cliff where I feel so free
And I got me a fleet of shiny new cars
And all my friends are politicians or stars
And I got me a business in Kathmandu,
Tijuana and Taiwan too
Where I don't pay no minimum wage
And I don't have to worry about their age
Chorus: Cause I got me a gal called Liberty
And that lady's sure been good to me
And I got me an uncle, his name is Sam
Showed me the way to the Promised Land
God bless America the home of the free
There ain't any other place that I'd rather be God bless this land of opportunity
There ain't any other place that I'd rather be.

Well I got me a plane and I got me a yacht
Got a bank offshore counts the money I got
Got me a wife, pretty as a pearl
Cost me a mint to keep her lookin like a girl (Well I)
Got a few stocks and got a few bonds (Got a)
Brokerage firm full of ex-cons
Got a big ole ranch open to the sky
And the very best friends money can buy
Chorus: Cause I got me a gal called Liberty
And that lady's sure been good to me
And I got me an uncle, his name is Sam
Showed me the way to the Promised Land
God bless America the home of the free
There ain't any other place that I'd rather be
God bless this land of opportunity
There ain't any other place that I'd rather be.

Now I got my lawyers, got my CPA's
Makin sure that all my money stays
Got 3rd world shops sweatin' gold
Where anyone can work young or old
I got a Mexican chef and a Chinese maid
And everyone I hire is underpaid
Yeah I got me a plan, I got me a scheme
Gonna keep on living this American Dream.
Chorus: Cause I got me a gal called Liberty
And that lady's sure been good to me
And I got me an uncle, his name is Sam
Showed me the way to the Promised Land
God bless America the home of the free
There ain't any other place that I'd rather be
God bless this land of opportunity
There ain't any other place that I'd rather be.
There ain't any other place that I'd rather be.
