CHUCK BERRY - You And My Country lyrics

rate me

I love my country, it's aim and intent

I believe in the system as it is in print

But I'm in love with you

And determined to help amend it for you

It ain't my hearet to beg, rob or steal

Although sometimes that's just how I feel

'Cause I do want you

To enjoy the few things that you love too

Working so hard for so little pay

And we just can live from day to day

This can't go on, it takes too long

Those days are gone

I know I'm nobody, I lost out in school

But I feel something wrong unless I'm a fool

I'm going to keep prying, at least I'll be trying

'Cause somebody's lying
