Strum
D-DU-UDU
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' minivan
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
And it hurts when you grow
But you learn as you go that nothin' heals like time
I found my faith and got
my first apartment on my own
And now no matter where I ever go
I know I'll never be alone
'Cause the land, she is my mother
Yes, and freedom is my father
Yeah, and I am one of many
Strong, proud and beautiful American daughters
Resurrection Bay, Alaska
Oh, the Flint Hills roll in Kansas
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
Oh, 'cause the land, she is my mother
Oh, and 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 and proud American daughters, yeah
