John Wayne

This is a quote about America by John Wayne. A very patriotic cowboy :) It is set to the song "God Bless the USA" sung by Lee Greenwood. I do not own this song or the quote. But I did make the video!

You ask me Why I love her?
Well, give me time and Ill explain

Have you seen a Kansas sunset
Or an Arizona rain?

Have you drifted on a bayou
Down Louisiana way?

Have you watched a cold fog drift
Over San Francisco Bay?

Have you heard a bobwhite calling
In the Carolina pines,

Or heard the bellow of diesel
At the Appalachia mines?

Does the call of Niagara thrill you
When you hear her waters roar?

Do you look with awe and wonder
At her Massachusetts shore,

Where men who braved a hard new world
First stepped on Plymouths rock?

And do you think of them when you stroll
Along a New York City dock?

Have you seen the sun come blazing down
From a bright Nevada sky?

Have you seen a snowflake drifting
In the Rockies, way up high?

Do you hail to the Columbia
As she rushes to the sea,

Or bow your head at Gettysburg
At our struggle to be free?

Have you seen the mighty Tetons?
Have you watched an eagle soar?

Have you seen the Mississippi
Roll along Missouri's shore?

Have you felt a chill at Michigan
When on a winter's day
Her waters rage along the shore
In thunderous display?

Does the word "Aloha" make you warm?

Do you stare in disbelief
When you see the surf
Come roaring in at Waimea Reef?

From Alaska's cold to the Everglades,

From the Rio Grande to Maine,

My heart cries out, my pulse runs fast
At the might of her domain.

You ask me Why I Love Her?
I've a million reasons why:

My Beautiful America,
Beneath God's wide, wide sky.

-John Wayne
