He is best known for a string of Countrypolitan hits throughout the 1980s, as well as for his hit "God Bless the USA".
Early life
After the separation of his parents, Lee grew up in Sacramento on the poultry farm of his grandparents. At the age of seven, he began playing the saxophone, and at the age of nine became a member of a dance ensemble. In 1969, he joined the Chester Smith Band and had his first television appearance. A short time later, he worked with the country musician Del Reeves.
He founded his first band, Apollo, in 1962. He briefly battled a cocaine addiction and moved to Iceland to go to rehab. The band, which changed its name later to Lee Greenwood Affair, played mostly pop music and appeared mostly in casinos in Las Vegas. A few records were recorded in Los Angeles with the Paramount label. After the band broke up in the 1970s, Greenwood moved back to Las Vegas, where he worked as a black jack dealer during the day, and as a singer at night.
Career
In 1979, he was discovered in Reno, Nev., by Larry McFaden, the bandleader and bassist of Mel Tillis. After making some demo tapes, Greenwood was signed in 1981 by the Nashville-based MCA label, and McFaden became his manager.
The first single, "It Turns Me Inside Out", made it to a spot in the top 20 of the country charts. Greenwood had written this song for Kenny Rogers, but Rogers turned it down due to the sheer volume of songs he had been offered at the time. "Ring On Her Finger and Time on her Hands" landed him in the country top 10.
He is best known for writing and recording the patriotic song "God Bless the USA" in the early 1980s. "God Bless the USA" gained renewed popularity following the launch of Operation: Desert Storm in 1991, and again, ten years later, following the September 11, 2001 attacks; in fact, the song even re-entered the Top 20 of the country charts in late 2001. Since then, Greenwood has played at many public events and commemorations of the attacks. He supports the United States Republican Party.
Theater
In 1995, Greenwood took a break from his touring schedule to spend time with his wife and newborn son. In his time off, he elected to build a theater in Sevierville, Tenn., and in April 1996, the "Lee Greenwood Theater" opened its doors. This gave Greenwood the opportunity to still perform daily shows, in addition to being with his family. The theater operated for five seasons, and closed for Greenwood to continue touring. The theater was not located in the heavily entertainment and tourist oriented areas of Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and Gatlinburg, Tenn., which contributed to the theater closing. The former theater building is now host to a church.

I’m a South Korean.
I do know very well that Brothers and Sisters of the United States🇺🇸 made their ULTIMATE SACRIFICES during the KOREAN WAR in defense of my nation’s🇰🇷 FREEDOM.
After the Korean War, the United States has been helping in many ways in order to make South Korea out of poverty.
I’m deeply heartwarmed and humbled when I listen to this beautiful song ‘God Bless The USA🇺🇸’ everyday.
May god always bless the United States of America🇺🇸. In Jesus Name, Amen.

1.如果明天我的一切离我而去
我需要为生计奔波
和我的妻儿一道重新开始
我会感激我的幸运星 到今天为止都在这里
旗帜（美国国旗）仍然为着自由高高飘扬
他们不能带走（“我”对自由的向往）
我为我是一个美国人而骄傲
至少我是自由的
我不会忘记那些为争取我们的自由牺牲的人
也会高兴地和你一起为自由奋斗
因为我深刻地爱着这片土地
天佑美利坚
2.从明苏尼达周的湖泊
到田纳西州的小山
横越德克萨斯州的平原
直到那片光辉的海洋
从底特律到休斯顿
纽约到洛杉矶（意指美国全境）
每个美国人的心中都充满自豪
在这个时刻，我们宣告，我为我是一个美国人而骄傲
至少我是自由的
我不会忘记那些为争取我们的自由牺牲的人
也会高兴地和你一起为自由奋斗
因为我深刻地爱着这片土地
天佑美利坚
3.我为我是一个美国人而骄傲
至少我是自由的
我不会忘记那些为争取我们的自由牺牲的人
也会高兴地和你一起为自由奋斗
因为我深刻地爱着这片土地
天佑美利坚
