Makes me think about those young Americans who stormed the French beaches in ‘44 but never returned home. If only I could thank them today for everything I have. Or at least the freedom to pursue whatever I please in life
I love this one. I just wish today's country music was like this. I was born In Long Beach Ca. And I now live In Houston. I'll never leave the greatest country In the World or the Heroes that have fought to keep us free. I guess that makes me an American Child. Not a bad thing.
Amen i remember this song like it was yesterday when i was in high school finding my love for late 90's early 2000's county music on long road trips to hunt ducks with my dad
I didnt think i would either. I was in the Army when this video came out. The height of my life. On top of the world. I felt good about what i did and who i was. America is my home and gave me so much. But isnt that anymore. I just want a place to die in peace without the insanity that you have there now. I regret bringing children into it. I retired last year and moved abroad. So i guess my voice doesnt count anymore. But I miss the world we had when songs like this were felt.
Top notch stuff, this style of Country Music faded into the Sunset years ago, glad we witnessed real talent, songs that moved feelings , made you think twice how lucky you were to live in the greatest nation that ever was!
Good night... I have no idea how this incredible song was not a #1 hit. It is so beautifully crafted, and his lyrics just crush it while lifting my heart to tears. I feel sad for any American who does not realize that we won the lottery by just being born here.
Thanks to our Military, I'm an American Child. Have a Blessed Memorial Day and never forget what our Military has sacrificed for our every day freedoms.
I THANK GOD EACH DAY that I was born an American child. I pray that America's Exceptionalism & her greatness will AGAIN (& SOON) be taught in our schools so that EVERY American child will KNOW how BLESSED THEY ARE to BE an American Child & that THEIR FUTURE IS BLESSED... BECAUSE... they are an American child. Patriotic Americans LOVE & are SO GRATEFUL FOR this heartfelt, most meaningful, most beautifully Patriotic song from... AN AMERICAN CHILD. Thank you. God bless you. 🙏💕🇺🇸✌
Amen. Our forefathers fought, not only for their generation, but for the many generations who would follow. So many troops have fought and died, with many more permanently disabled because they believe in keeping America free from tyranny. For the Americans, who despise their own country, Patriots dare you to find somewhere else to live. God Bless America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Played this son at my 7 week old daughters funeral .Took 15 years before I could listen to it again without wanting to jump off a roof .This song will always be dear to my heart. Love ya phil
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child. Children are blessings and she was blessed to have you as her mother. God Bless You.
We lost our 4mo old son to SIDS in February of 2019... I understand and so sorry for your loss. The song that primarily got me through was called "Until Heaven." Can't recall the artist off the top of my head.
I complain, and i whine, I cry about how much I hate it in Kansas, but i am really happy that i am being raised here, because I can't imagine a better life than this. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
here we go... 3 months to deployment and in honor of my husbands impending departure im sharing with my friends 1 song every day to remind them (and me) how beautiful life and family are. this will be my first song... for our children. thank you for being awesome
beautifully written and performed song, it captures the soul of how i was raised to be proud and patriotic! stand up against those who are against that! happy 4th of july
One of my all-time favorite songs, reminds me of a time long ago when I was proud to be an American. I did not like the direction we were going as a country: in our culture or our politics. Not only was there too much hatred and negativity surrounding me, but I feared I too was becoming one of these spiteful, mean-spirited people. So then in April 2022, I took early retirement and moved to Panamá . I pray one day, I may go back to the country of my birth, the country I once loved.
I complain about living here in the United States, I say I wish I was born in the UK, but truthfully...I'm an American Child and there's no doubt about that. It's just who I am. Supporting New Jersey and our American flag all the way!
As a kid when I became aware that I was special needs I was upset with life but when my dad told me there were kids with more issues I started to thank god it’s not me and I’m thankful for what I can do I don’t feel as upset but I want to be treated like other people 🙂
I so happy to be an American Child. I thank God for everyday of school that i get becuase i know there are people out there who can't even recite the alphabet let alone do the advanced Algebra i can do. I thank God i was born an American child becuase now i can strive to be a writer and know that it is possible.
I don't think that this song deserves the respect that it should and I am sad that our next generation doesn't know the sacrifice that our grandparents made
Played football with this guy for the Fort Hill Chargers. He was one linebacker and I was the other. Anybody know how I can get in touch with him? Phil Smith, Lynchburg, Va
Coming from Peru at the age of 2 on my mom's hip, I'm proud to be an American Child. Today is a very special day when we killed one of America's greatest enemy and I'm glad to celebrate this with fellow Americans. God Bless the USA from Chicago!
Phil, This is a very good song. My question...you and your guit player sound like you grew up in Lynchburg, VA...how good was your high school band. You can play, sing and write. He can play and sing. I'll bet that was a pretty good band.
This needs to be played from coast to coast to remind people of how blessed we are to live in One Nation Under God. Music can do what talking cannot!
Makes me think about those young Americans who stormed the French beaches in ‘44 but never returned home. If only I could thank them today for everything I have. Or at least the freedom to pursue whatever I please in life
Yes, without them, we all would be wearing Swastikas…

Can't believe this amazing song has very few comments. I love America 🇺🇸 and I do thank God that I was an American child.
Let us never forget the blessing our God has given us
alblanzjr Amen
Amen God loves all of his children
So true that he is the best dad
I'm from Ghana (West Africa) but this song gets to me 🥺 God bless America

"Nowhere Virginia" was Lynchburg where I used to live. Wish I had met Phil -- he's so talented with writing, singing and piano playing!
I love Patriotic County Music!

Lets face it ladies and gentlemen. Modern day country music as lost it's way.
Ronnie Milsap always says Nashville is where country music was born and where it died.
Walter Hale Tru Dat brother
I agree with you, however I like this song.
This song is part of the era when music started to go down hill.
Amen. Cough cough Florida cough Georgia Line cough.
Beautiful I miss the old country.
Lovely
this man is awesome...!!!!
Cause dreams can grow wild, born inside an American Child.
Listen to the lyrics.Just a great song.
Share with a friend - remember what it is to be American and love it.
I love this song, It's a real Masterpiece
Love this song
I don't think that this song deserves the respect that it should and I am sad that our next generation doesn't know the sacrifice that our grandparents made

Decent waltz from Phil.
Played football with this guy for the Fort Hill Chargers. He was one linebacker and I was the other. Anybody know how I can get in touch with him? Phil Smith, Lynchburg, Va
I know phil he works landscaping with my fathers company send me a message!
Bro my dad must have typed that comment while logged into my account lol. He's curious as to what your father's company is, though.
This is terrific! First time I've heard of this *from Sean Hannity's web site!)
What a difference between him and Toby Kieth.
For sure. THIS is the song about America.
love it
I ♥ PV !
Coming from Peru at the age of 2 on my mom's hip, I'm proud to be an American Child. Today is a very special day when we killed one of America's greatest enemy and I'm glad to celebrate this with fellow Americans. God Bless the USA from Chicago!
He must have got black balled. This dude could sing. I remember 6 songs off rip. Good days
Love this song about american
ACC's #38 song of '02.
Somewhere along the great plains
this is cute and sad at the same time
Phil, This is a very good song. My question...you and your guit player sound like you grew up in Lynchburg, VA...how good was your high school band. You can play, sing and write. He can play and sing. I'll bet that was a pretty good band.
My kids are american and so is my love Little Ali although his home countries are Pakistan and Lebanon, but that is okay. We are Michiganders.
Take a pen and map out the two melodies on a staff you'll see the similarities lol
The little girl in this video is his daughter Haley..
Listened to it and, even though there are similarities in the sound, definitely not a rip off. That happens sometimes with violins/fiddles.
Rip off of what?
not really I love this song, but like the times music has to change too.
