Lee Hazlewood - Anthem lyrics

I never had a job on Wall Street.

Never was a man of means.

There's nothing social about social security.

Never found no pork in my beans.

I always did what my mama told me.

Do so good and pay the band.

I always did what my mama told me

but I never did vote republican.

I never did vote republican.

And the stripes keep on waving

and the stars always shine

and it smells just like freedom

in this land I call mine,

in this land I call mine.

I never never started nothing.

I never never never ran.

I never fought or hurt nobody,

nobody I was bigger than.

I always did what my mama told me.

Do so good and pay that band.

I always did what my mama told me

but I never did vote republican.

I never did vote republican.

And the stripes keep on waving

and the stars always shine

and it smells just like freedom

in this land I call mine,

in this land I call mine.
