American Daughters Lyrics - Sarah Buxton - Sarah Buxton

I left Lawrence, Kansas 

At the age of seventeen 

To chase down my own version 

Of the American dream 

Cowboy boots, a tie-dye dress 

In mom's ol' minivan 

If a girl like me can do it, sister 

I believe anybody can 

Oh, the land, she is my mother 

And freedom is my father 

Yeah, an' I am one of many 

Strong, proud and beautiful American daughters 

I got married way too young 

No one's fault but mine 

An' it hurts when you grow 

But you learn as you go that nothin' heals like time 

I found my faith in God 

An' my first apartment on my own 

An' now no matter where I ever go 

I know I'll never be alone 

'Cause the land, she is my mother 

Yes, and freedom is my father 

Yeah, an' I am one of many 

Strong, proud and beautiful American daughters 

Resurrection Bay, Alaska 

Oh, the Flint Hills roll in Kansas 

Time Square, New York City 

The Mississippi delta, anywhere in Texas 

Redstone, Colorado 

Sedona, Arizona 

The PCA to California 

It's all home sweet home 

Oh, 'cause the land, she is my mother 

Oh, and freedom is my father 

Yeah, and I am one of many 

Strong, proud and beautiful 

We're all strong, proud and beautiful 

Yeah, we're strong, proud and beautiful American daughters 

Strong and proud American daughters, yeah
