You and My Country Songtext
von Chuck Berry

I love my country, its aim and intent
I believe in the system as they have it in print
But I′m in love with you
And determined to help amend it for you


It ain't in my heart to beg, rob or steal
Although sometimes, that′s just how I feel
'Cause I do want you
To enjoy the few things that you love too

Have to work hard for so little pay
And we just can live from day to day
This can't go on, it takes too long
Those days are gone

I know I′m nobody, I lost out in school
But I feel something wrong unless I′m just a fool
Gonna keep on prying, at least I'll be trying
′Cause somebody's lying
