God Bless The USA Lee Greenwood 1983 | (Riverboat 542) Lawrence Johnstone, Nelda Eaton |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today
'cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away
Four ladies promenade inside, one time around that ring
Get back, swing that man at home and promenade again
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
God bless the USA!
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas; from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston, from New York to L.A.
Well, there's pride in every American heart, and it's time to rise and say
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads box the gnat, then pass thru
Separate, go around one, make a line of four you do
Pass the ocean, swing thru and then
Spin the top, do a right & left thru again
Slide thru, swing that corner lady there
Keep that girl, promenade around the square
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
God bless the USA!
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 2
Four ladies chain across, you turn that girl and then
Half sashay that lady and circle left my friend
Four ladies rollaway, and circle left around that floor
Left allemande that corner, and you weave the ring once more
And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
God bless the USA!
Nelda Eaton does the female version.
