作曲 : Buxton, DiPiero I left Lawrence,Kansas, At the age of seventeen, To chase down my own version, Of the American dream.. Cowboy boots,a tie-dye dress, In Mom's ol'mini-van: If a girl like me can do it,sister, I believe anybody can. Oh,the land,she is my mother; And freedom is my father. Yeah,and I am one of many, Strong,proud and beautiful American daughters. I got married way too young: No-one's fault but mine. An'it hurts when you grow, But you learn as you go that nothin'heals like time. I found my Faith in God, An'my first apartment on my own. An'now no matter where I ever go, I know I'll never be alone. 'Cause the land,she is my mother; Yes,and freedom, (Freedom.) Is my father. Yeah,and I am one of many, Strong,proud and beautiful American daughters. Resurrection Bay,Alaska; The Flinthills Roll in Kansa; Time Square,New York City; The Mississippi delta; Anywhere in Texas; Redstone,Colorado; Sedona,Arizona; The PCA to California; It's all home sweet home. 'Cause the land,she is my mother; Yes,and freedom, (Freedom.) Is my father. Yeah,and I am one of many, Strong,proud and beautiful; We're all strong,proud and beautiful; Yeah,we're strong,proud and beautiful American daughters. Strong,proud American daughters,yeah.
