John Fogerty - Fortunate One (Live - The Long Road Home) lyrics

[John Fogerty - Fortunate One Live - The Long Road Home lyrics]

1, 2, 1, 2, 3!

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, that red, white and blue
But when the band plays "Hail To The Chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house look like a rummage sale

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, wooh

Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they'll send you down to war
But when you ask them
"How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more"

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator’s one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate ah
I ain't no fortunate ah
I ain't no fortunate ah
I ain't no fortunate son
