A5
I left Lawrence, Kansas
G5      C5
At the age of seventeen
D5                   A5
To chase down my own version
G5
Of the American dream

A5                      G5
Cowboy boots, a tie-dye dress
   C5
In mom's ol' minivan
D5                    A5
If a girl like me can do it, sister
G5
I believe anybody can

        A5        G5     C5
Oh, the land, she is my mother
    D5     G5      A5
And freedom is my father
          A5   G5      C5
Yeah, and I am one of many
Bb5                F5
Strong, proud and beautiful American daughters

A5                    G5
I got married way too young
C5                  
No one's fault but mine
D5
And it hurts when you grow
        A5                   G5
But you learn as you go that nothin' heals like time

A5
I found my faith and got
   G5     C5
my first apartment on my own
D5                A5
And now no matter where I ever go
G5
I know I'll never be alone


           A5        G5     C5
'Cause the land, she is my mother
         D5      G5      A5
Yes, and freedom is my father
          A5   G5      C5
Yeah, and I am one of many
Bb5                F5                  C5
Strong, proud and beautiful American daughters

Resurrection Bay, Alaska
        F5                           G5
Oh, the Flint Hills roll in Kansas

Time Square, New York City
                G5                  F5

        G5           
It's all home sweet home

               A5        G5     C5
Oh, 'cause the land, she is my mother
        D5      G5     A5
Oh, and freedom is my father
          A5   G5      C5
Yeah, and I am one of many
Bb5                F5
Strong, proud and beautiful
          Bb5                F5 
We're all strong, proud and beautiful
