Free
Only want to be free

Never looking back again

A song written and performed by Chuck Berry which was first released as a single in 1959 under Chess Records.

Lyrics (Excerpt):

Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner caf
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.

Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A
Yes. I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A

A song by Bruce Springsteen released in 1984 under Columbia Records.

Lyrics (Excerpt):

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

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.

A song written and performed by Lee Greenwood which won the CMA Song of the Year award in 1985.

Lyrics (Excerpt):

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
