In today’s episode, we sit down with legendary singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood for an intimate conversation about the origins of his iconic anthem, his musical journey, and the deeper meaning behind “God Bless the USA.”
Greenwood reflects on growing up with humble beginnings, working nightclubs at age 15, and eventually building a remarkable career spanning decades. “Music was my foundation, but it wasn’t until my 20s that I found my voice,” he shares.
He opens up about writing “God Bless the USA,” the conscious decision to put faith and country at the heart of the lyrics, and how the song became a rallying cry for generations during moments of national crisis. “Putting God first was never a question,” he says.
Beyond the music, Greenwood discusses faith, family, his collaboration with Drew Jacobs that took the anthem to the rock charts, and his role with the Kennedy Center and the National Council on the Arts. He also shares stories from recent performances, including the 2024 GOP convention, and his creation of the “God Bless the USA Bible.”
Join us for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation with one of America’s most enduring voices—one that reminds us what patriotism, perseverance, and purpose truly mean.
