American Daughters - Lyrics - Sarah Buxton

Sarah Buxton is an American country music singer, formerly signed to the independent Lyric Street Records. Between 2006 and 2008, she issued three singles from an extended play titled Almost My Record, in addition to co-writing her song "Stupid Boy", which was later recorded by Keith Urban. She released her self-titled debut album in early 2010, led off by the Top 25 single "Outside My Window," shortly before Lyric Street Records closed. Shortly afterward, she began performing with Jedd Hughes as the short-lived duo Buxton Hughes before forming Skyline Motel.

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' mini-van: 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, and 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, (Freedom.) Is my father. Yeah, and I am one of many, Strong, proud and beautiful American daughters. Resurrection Bay, Alaska; The Flinthills Roll in Kansa; 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. 'Cause the land, she is my mother; Yes, and freedom, (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, proud American daughters, yeah.
