I Am a Patriot — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

And the river opens for the righteous (5 times)

Someday



I was walking with my brother

And he wondered whats on my mind

I said what I believe in my soul

Aint what I see with my eyes

And we cant 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

Ive 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, whats 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 aint no communist

And I aint no capitalist

And I aint no socialist

And I aint no imperialist

And I aint no democrat

And I aint 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...
