Intro

And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...someday 

Verse

I was walking with my brother 
And he wondered oh how I am.
Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time 

Chorus

I am a patriot, and I love my country 
Because my country is all I know  
I want to be with my family 
People who understand me 
I got no place else to go...
I am a patriot...   

Verse

I was walking with my girlfriend.
She looked so fine, I said
"Baby, what's on your mind?" 
Said I want to run like the lions 
Released from their cages... 
Released from the rages
Burning in my soul tonight. 

Chorus

I am a patriot, and I love my country 
Because my country is all I know  

Bridge

(strum chord once each time)
And I ain't no communist 
And I ain't no socialist 
And I ain't no capitalist 
And I ain't no imperialist 
And I ain't no democrat 
Sure ain't no republican either
I only know one party 
And that is freedom
I Am...I Am...I Am...

Chorus

I am a patriot, and I love my country 
Because my country is all I know 

Outro

And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...someday 
Someday.....
Someday......
