 Won't have to run through the jungle, and scuff up your feet
F             A                          Dm           F7
  You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day

 It's great to be an American

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

We will cross the mighty ocean, into Charleston Bay

   To take care of his home and his family
