Charlie Daniels Band, The - My Beautiful America Lyrics






Have you ever spent the late afternoon
Watching the purple shadows deepen in Arizona desert?
Or seen a herd of Elk plough their way
Through waist deep snow on a cold Colorado dome?
Did you ever see the sun go down in Hawaii,
Or seen the stormy waves break over the rock bound coast of Maine?
Or have you ever see an eagle fly up out of the mists of Alaska?
Or a big October moon hanging full over the still Dakato badlands?

Have you ever tasted the gumbo in New Orleans, Bar-B-Que in Carolina
Or the chicken wings in Buffalo?
Have you ever had Brunswick stew in Maken, or cornbread in Burmingham?
Or briskets slow cook over hill country mesquite wood?

Did you ever drink the water from a gurgling branch in Utah,
Or, stand on the mountain above El Paso Del Norte
And see the lights twinkling clear over in Mexico?
Did you ever jingle horses in the pre dawn stillness of a perfect Texas day
And watch their shodded hooves kicking up sparks on the volcanic rock?

Or attended a truck line on a foggy Carolina morning,
Or heard the distant love song of a lovesick whipperwill
On a pristine Tenneesee late night?
Have you seen the faces on Mount Rushmore or stood at the Vietnam monument?

Have you ever crossed the mighty Mississippi,
Or been to the daddy of them all in Cheyenne, Wyoming?
Or seen the mighty Volve run out on the football field on a chilly autumn afternoon?

Did you ever see the Chicago skyline from Lake Shore Drive at night?
Or the New England follage in the fall,
Or the summer beauty of the Shanandoah valley,
Or Indiana covered with new snow?

Did you ever seen a herd of wild horses running free
Across the empty spaces in Nevada?
Or, caught a walleyed pike out of a cold Wisconsin stream?
Or ,marveled at the tall ship docked in the harbor at Baltimore?

Did you ever see the early morning dew sparkling on the blue grass,
Or, the wind stir the wheat fields on a hot Kansas afternoon?
Or, driven the lonely stretches of old Route 66?
Have you ever heard the church bells peal their call to worship
On an early Sunday, in some small town in the deep south?

Or pass through the redwood forest just as the sun was going down?
Have you ever been to Boise or Batchlee or Boford or Billings?
Have you ever passed through Sanford or Suffacer San Angelo?
Have you ever seen the falls at Nigara?
The ice palace in Saint Paul?
Or the Gateway to the west?

This then is America!
The land God blesses with everything
And no Effel Tower: no Taj Mahal;
No Alps; No Andes;
No native hut; nor Royal Palace -
Can rival her awesome beauty,
Her diverse poplulation, her monolithic majesty.
America the Free!
America the mighty!
America the beautiful!
I pledge alligence to the flag of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it stands
One Nation Under God indivisible
with liberty and justice for all!

    America do you want to live in a Socialist, Muslim Jihadist 3rd world country? Light the white house switchboard up. Ask to speak with your Congress person your Senator your Representative. Cortez just said it " We don't have to follow the rules any more " and they are not going to. Soros fraudulent voting machines, paying them to run, literally placement into office. Globalist slavery isn't knocking at the door. They have moved in and are trying to take over. No shoot out in the streets just placing enemies of the United States of America into office illegally. Call over and over. Intercede those who pray. Senior Demon-crats ignoring this behavior shows they approve. ck out the article by Washington Standard how many Muslims are in the government.

  41. C.... D....

    Fabulous. Makes me weak in my knees

  42. S.... H....

    This country is the greatest human experiment ever devised by mankind. If you cannot make it here you simply cannot make it anywhere and if you do not understand the great blessing of being born here you are woefully and pitifully ignorant. You desperately need to study the history of this world so you can appreciate the richness of your potential here in this great country. Our ancestors have been some of the most giving and bravest people on earth as well. They have fought on the side of right in every war since the inception of America. They have saved Europe more than once from the destruction of their heritage. I could go on and on and on but you get the idea. Any American who is ashamed of this country or who hates it needs to pack their bags and go to the place they believe to be superior. They will be back before you can blink. Guaranteed. I have traveled this world pretty much and I never fail to get down and kiss the ground I stand on when I return here. God Bless America and give us the wisdom to know a good thing when we have it.

  43. T.... D....

    Mr. Daniels, thank you for reciting 'My America'. She's one beautiful country isn't she. If people are not happy living here, why do they stay? It's the only country they can come and complain in. Other countries wouldn't tolerate it. I am not ashamed to sign my name to this or to my support of your right to say how beautiful America is. May God bless you sir and may God bless America and may God bless President Trump. - Dennis Zinke One more item, my cousin Ryan Zinke is the Secretary of Interior under President Trump and may God bless him in his service to President Trump and America.

  49. E.... B....

  62. T.... T....

    An amazing beautiful song and video. People should respect and love and stand up for America as one nation under God. For if we don't stand together strong. We may wake up one day and realize it's to late for all of us and America. We are suppose to stand together as one. But sadly some people refuse to do this. People you better wake up before it's to late. I think God that was born and raised and allowed to live in America. Thank you for the video and allowing me to post here. God bless you and America always and forever.

    Everyone Having a Super Bowl Party should play this before the game - Wish the NFL played this before each game right before the national anthem.

  65. 8.... ....

    A 50-foot long billboard at the main entrance to NAS Whidbey Island WA states: "...That Noise You Hear Is The Sound of Freedom...".  Says it all.

    8.... ....

    Actually it is the sound of the federal government burning hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute.

  66. C.... H....

    Das scheit der Westen zu sein,würde auch sagen Beautiful Amerika,nein auch der Süden!

  87. M.... M....

    Soy española, concretamente de Madrid, después de vivir durante 20 años en los Estados Unidos de América pienso que es una gran Nación, a la cual amo como mi segunda Patria, me lo ha dado todo y estoy muy agradecida. Eso no quiere decir, que no haya tenido mis momentos malos. Pero si volviera a ser joven, no dudaría en volver a ese gran País. TE AMO.

  88. C.... W....

    love it

  89. M.... B....

    Indeed, our Almighty and Holy God has blessed this land with beauty and prosperity. He has placed His hedge of protection and grace on the USA. Despite the sins committed here, this nation had always existed under the Kingdom Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ but now things have changed. The protective and prospering hand of God is being politically and culturally pushed away by ungodly governance and a socially secular mentality. Politicians are quick to say, "God bless America." What they need to say (and act on) is America, blessing God.

    M.... B....

    What prosperity? USA has the highest rates of poverty, illiteracy, premature death, bankruptcy, homelessness, and homicide in the first world nations.

  90. S.... F....

    Ban Libralism because it's libralism that's trying to divide US!

    S.... F....

    Sigman Floyd No, no. I don't think it's Liberalism that is splitting us up. Liberalism just means I'll live my life as I please and you have the same right to live yours any way you please. (It's no one else's business what you want to do, as long as it isn't criminal).
    No, what seems to be dividing us is TRIBALISM. That's where folks think that they, AND ONLY THEY, are right and that if you act outside their view, then you are wrong and DESERVE scorn.

  91. J.... W....

    The "royal palace" is actually Biltmore House in Asheville, NC

  92. J.... C....

    brought tears to my eyes, Thank you, Charlie Daniels

  93. S.... A....

    So touching , inspiring,and beckoning with deep appreciation and prayers for our nation!

  94. M.... L....

    Charlie............I have travelled all over America two years in a row and it is a beautiful county. Such outstanding beautiful scenery. Which left me wondering why you used a picture of the Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada?

    The American Falls are the small Falls in Niagara Falls, New York State. I lived in Niagara Falls Ontario for many years and the mighty Horseshoe Falls have mystified tourist from all over the World, the small Falls not so much! Great video Charlie except for that one wee mistake!

  95. L.... D....

    Beautiful. I love this Land of ours. It is so beautiful. Everyone should see this.
    Thank you Charlie Daniels for making this video.

  96. R.... w....

    Charlie Daniels is a great American and hell of a fiddler.

  97. S.... H....

    awsome what the hand of God and and the mind of man has wrought
