I love my country
I wouldn't wanna live anywhere else
But I'm not a politician or a gentry
So I've gotta look inside myself, he said
Goodbye, bye to my American pride
We had heart and great minds
But we've flung God from our side
He thought the world would come to peace
So he made his shelter in the shade
And from a distance watched this place
As a timeless war did rage
He said
Goodbye, bye to my American pride
We had heart and great minds
But we've flung God from our side
The lust for unfulfilling coin
Once controlled his power hungry life
It left no time for kids and wife
No, it wouldn't satisfy
Not a thing satisfies a searching mind
Hey there, I heard about you, son
You're going through a rough time
You're not the only one.
Hey there, you're looking pretty glum
But don't you worry (don't you worry)
You're not the only one.
Goodbye, bye to my American life
'Cause I don't even know struggle or strife
But I've had one lowly life
