Yes, but it has to be 5 years living in US as a legal permanent resient. It's not that easy to get permanent residency (green card) in the first place.
Obtaining a green card, which lets you live and work in US indefinitely, is hard, more expensive, and can take decades unless it's through marriage. Getting a citizenship at that point is more of a formality.
