The success of the song “God Bless the USA” doesn’t surprise its singer and songwriter, Lee Greenwood, who is part of the 60th Presidential Inauguration Weekend musical lineup.

“What’s coming is more people who understand what it means to be an American and a patriot,” Greenwood told The Epoch Times, referring to the upcoming Trump presidency. “And if people are going to use my song to endorse that, then I’m excited about it.”
