American daughters

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.
