Jackson Browne I Am A Patriot Lyrics

I Am A Patriot Lyrics

And the river opens for the righteous (5 times)
Someday

I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what`s on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
Ain`t what I see with my eyes
And we can`t turn our backs this time

I am a patriot
And I love my county
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
The people who understand me
I`ve got nowhere else to go

And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday

And I was talking with my sister
She looked so fine
I said, "Baby, what`s on your mind?"
She said, "I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my heart tonight"

And I ain`t no communist
And I ain`t no capitalist
And I ain`t no socialist
And I ain`t no imperialist
And I ain`t no democrat
And I ain`t no republican
I only know one party
And it is freedom

I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot
And I love my country
Because my county is all I know

And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday

And the river opens for the righteous...
