Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home
God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam




God bless America, my home sweet home
God bless America, my home sweet home

They probably haven’t had the pleasure of having a baby girl. I always wanted a boy but having a girl made me realize she’s all I ever wanted and I didn’t even realize it.

They were probably expecting some pop country crap 😂 and not 💯 legit Texas country music!
