Hoyt Axton - Country Anthem lyrics
[Hoyt Axton - Country Anthem lyrics]
Do you really think you'd recognize Him
If He came walkin' up to you?
If He came back again
They'd hit Him in the head
And nail Him to the doorway of their lies
And they would not blame each other
but another crazy brother
And salute the flag and mother when He died
And count the blood red silver in their minds
And count the lives of
Children like their dimes
And what's a dime? One more time
No release, mmm hmm
I'd like to do our country's anthem
But I can't seem to make it ring
Ole Frank Keys, the man who wrote it
Obviously didn't sing
Mmm
If He came walkin' up to you?
If He came back again
They'd hit Him in the head
And nail Him to the doorway of their lies
And they would not blame each other
but another crazy brother
And salute the flag and mother when He died
And count the blood red silver in their minds
And count the lives of
Children like their dimes
And what's a dime? One more time
No release, mmm hmm
I'd like to do our country's anthem
But I can't seem to make it ring
Ole Frank Keys, the man who wrote it
Obviously didn't sing
Mmm
