Dan Bern - My Country Too lyrics

rate me

I don't drive a Mercedes Benz and

I have no desire to own one

I'd sooner watch a flower grow

Than the latest from Sylvester Stalone

I don't have me a country club membership

I ride the Greyhound bus

I don't have a cabin two hours north of here

I don't celebrate Christmas

<p>But it's my country too

Sometimes I gotta remind myself

It's my country too

Pay my taxes

Vote on election day

I stop at stop signs just like you</p>

<p>I've never burned an American flag

If I did it was an accident

I've never dropped a bomb or defaced the

Washington monument

But you won't find a flag on my doorstep

On the Fourth of July

Too many criminals try to wrap themselves inside of it

It stands for too many lies</p>

<p>But it's my country too

Sometimes I gotta remind myself

It's my country too</p>

<p>My country 'tis of thee

Sweet land of liberty

My country 'tis of thee

Sweet land of liberty</p>

<p>If I sing it enough times

Maybe I'll remember what it means

If I sing it enough times

Maybe I'll remember what it means</p>

<p>Don't try to tell me

For once just listen to me

Don't try to tell me

This time listen to me</p>

<p>'Cause it's my country too

Sometimes I gotta remind myself

It's my country too

Pay my taxes

Vote on election day

I stop at stop signs just like you

It's my country too

My country too

My country too
