And he wondered, oh, how I am

Said what I believe with my soul

Ain't what I see with my eyes

She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind

Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...

                D        G        
And I ain't no communist,

I sure ain't no republican either         
                 D     G                   
I only know one party,                   
               D       G

And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
