Hell Yeah (I'm American)

Some live on the West Coast
Some live in the South
Some live in the Midwest
That's where I was born and raised
Raised up by a single mama with a mama bear attitude
And a real bad mouth
I know she did her best

Some folks live in New England
Some live in the country
And some live in cities and towns
Some people live on farms
Where they take care of the animals and the crops
That end up in a store or restaurant
Wherever those big trucks are all bound

Then there's Mackinaw Island
Where they don't use no cars
It's like in the old days you could take a horse and buggy ride or walk
But walking is too long and far

(Chorus)
If you ask what I am
I'll tell you
I'm a citizen of the USA
We the people
Have got something to say
Hell yeah (I'm American)
Hell yeah (I'm American)

I remember seeing the fireworks each year on the Fourth Of July
I remember going to Cedar Point in Ohio
And Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon
I loved that place as a kid, I'm not gonna lie

(Repeat Chorus)

Miami Florida
And Georgia
North and South Carolina too
Kentucky and Louisiana
Are known for good Soul Food
Don't mind if I do

(Repeat Chorus)

Texas and New Mexico
Arizona, Nevada
California and Washington as well
Tennessee and Maine
A lot of these states were used in books and movies
Stephen King his stories are scary as hell
He's my favorite author
For years I avoided going by street side drains

To Colorado
And the Stanley Hotel
I hope to visit one of these days
When I can get there eventually
I wanna see the place for myself
To see if the hair on my arms will raise

Hey Wisconsin
You guys are really cool
I wanna make a shout out to everyone there
No matter what state you live in
As long as it's the U.S of A
This song goes out to all 50 states everywhere
Hawaii and Puerto Rico
Gotta include them too
Both places got good food
So I hear people say

(Repeat Chorus)

Hell yeah (I'm American)
Hell yeah (I'm American)
Hell yeah (I'm American).
(Coda).
