Well, I remember back when I was young
I had a hunting rifle that I'd shoot for fun
We had a nice brick house and a front lawn
Like everybody else in that old town

I once kissed a girl on the 4th of July
I don't think she liked it, but for me it was fine

And I'd say to myself
Oh, thank God, I'm an American son
Oh, thank God, I'm an American son

I volunteered to serve when it was my time
Though I needed nothing outside of the county line

I was ready to kill and die
And America you were the reason why
I turned 20 in the middle of a dream
Guns blazing in the Middle East

I used to say to myself
I Thank God
I Thank God
Thank God

Yeah I'd say
Oh, thank God I'm an American son
Oh, thank God I'm an American son

Well, I turned 21 with nothing to drink
I rounded out my salad days with nothing to eat
Couldn't get a job for the life of me
Because I left my fingers there yeah in the middle east

The man in the limousine won't even smile at me
Though he claims I'm the most important thing
It doesn't mean It doesn't mean It doesn't mean
I'm a human being

No it doesn't mean no it doesn't mean I'm a human being
No it doesn't mean no it doesn't mean I'm a human being
No it doesn't mean no it doesn't mean I'm a human being
(Oh, thank God, I'm an American son)
No it doesn't mean no it doesn't mean I'm a human being
(Oh, thank God, I'm an American son)

Oh, thank God, I'm an American son
Oh, thank God, I'm an American son
