The song I heard at NOAC keeps running through my head.
Can anyone fill in the rest of the words and verses?
Who is the author?

I'm proud to be an American because I know I'm free,
... the men and boys who gave that right to me,
and I'd gladly standup next to you
... still today
There ain't no doubt I love this land.
God bless the USA.

That is God Bless The USA - sung by Lee Greenwood.


God Bless The USA
by Lee Greenwood

E A
If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,
F#m7 D B7
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife,
E Abm7
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today
F#m7 C#m A
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away

Chorus
B A E
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
B A E
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
C#m Abm7 A Abm7
And I'll gladly stand up, next to you, and defend her still today
F#m7 E A B E
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston, from New York to LA,
Well there's pride in every American heart,
And it's time we stand and say,
B A E
That I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free,
B A E
And I won`t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me

C#m Abm7 A Abm7
And I'll gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today,
F#m7 E A C#m / A
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA
B A E
And I'm Proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free,
B A E
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me,
C#m Abm7 A Abm7
And I'll gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today,
F#m7 E F#m7 Abm7 A B7
E
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the U S
A.
