Forrest Gump movie - Fortunate Son lyrics

rate me

Song by Creedence Clearwater Revival<br /><br>

Some folks are born to wave the flag,<br>

Ooh, they're red, white and blue.<br>

And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",<br>

Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,<br>

<br>

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.<br>

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no,<br>

Yeah!<br>

<br>

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,<br>

Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.<br>

But when the taxman comes to the door,<br>

Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,<br>

<br>

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.<br>

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.<br>

<br>

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,<br>

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,<br>

And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"<br>

Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh,<br>

<br>

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son.<br>

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one.<br>

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,<br>

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,<br>

<br>
