Lyrics

[00:06.23] I love my country it's aim and intent
[00:11.62]
[00:13.52] I believe in the system as it is in print
[00:19.30]
[00:21.19] But I'm in love with you
[00:22.81]
[00:25.01] And determined to help amend it for you
[00:30.62]
[00:36.64] It ain't my hearet to beg rob or steal
[00:42.53]
[00:44.22] Although sometimes that's just how I feel
[00:50.05]
[00:51.81] 'Cause I do want you
[00:53.83]
[00:55.58] To enjoy the few things that you love too
[01:00.85]
[01:38.07] Working so hard for so little pay
[01:43.16]
[01:45.46] And we just can live from day to day
[01:51.55]
[01:53.19] This can't go on it takes too long
[01:59.08]
[02:00.52] Those days are gone
[02:02.41]
[02:08.80] I know I'm nobody I lost out in school
[02:14.20]
[02:15.90] But I feel something wrong unless I'm a fool
[02:21.92]
[02:24.11] I'm going to keep prying at least I'll be trying
[02:29.20]
[02:31.21] 'Cause somebody's lying
