Lyrics

 My grandpa told me when I was a child
Love her or leave her he said as he smiled
Show me another place in this great big old world
Where it doesn’t matter about your race
Or if your hair is straight or curled
‘Cause when you fly the red, white and blue
I get tears in my eyes and I think of me and you as Americans
Well, I’m proud to say I’m an unhyphenated American
It doesn’t matter how I pray or where I come from
Yeah, I love this land of opportunity
There’s freedom here for you and me
I’m proud to say I’m an unhyphenated American
Hey now, you might not look like me
You may dress strange and talk funny
And you just might have a life that’s been hard
And you may have far too many cars
Parked in your front yard
But when you fly the red, white and blue
I get tears in my eyes and I think of me and you as Americans
Well, I’m proud to say I’m an unhyphenated American
It doesn’t matter how I pray or where I come from
Yeah, I love this land of opportunity
There’s freedom here for you and me
I’m proud to say I’m an unhyphenated American
I’m an American, one nation under God
Don’t need a hyphenation, don’t need a wink or a nod
‘Cause I’m an American and that’s good enough for me
Part of the greatest nation that this world has ever seen
Well, I’m proud to say I’m an unhyphenated American
It doesn’t matter how I pray or where I come from
Yeah, I love this land of opportunity
There’s freedom here for you and me
I’m proud to say I’m an unhyphenated American
I’m proud to say I’m an unhyphenated American
I’m proud to say I’m an unhyphenated American
