I start my day 
And I'm ready to work 
I'm responsible 
And I like to get things done 
If you ever need some help 
Come and look my way 
'Cause I try to be here for everyone 
 
I'm an American, I'm an American 
I respect you and your point of view 
I'm an American, I'm an American 
And I wish you good luck with whatever you do 
 
They call me the land of opportunity 
With our agriculture 
And beautiful movie stars 
We can turn our dreams 
Into a way of life 
So be happy and be who you are 
 
I'm an American, I'm an American 
I respect you and your point of view 
I'm an American, I'm an American 
And I wish you good luck with whatever you do
