I Remember (Acoustic)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And I remember when I first went to school They say, "Son, don't be a joker, son, don't be a fool Pledge allegiance to the red, white, and blue Don't expect your country to do nothin' for you" They said your forefathers loved you, but I only had one Watched him die in the heat of the sun Suckin' on the bullets of a policeman's gun There ain't nothin' I could do but get away [Chorus] To the USA, we'll see you there tomorrow Make it out through my door WXYZ's my favorite country station Well, we don't play country music anymore [Verse 2] And I remember when I first hit the road I was runnin' from the lenders of the money I owed Came to California, heard a knock on my door Crossed me a border, now I'm runnin' some more I'm in the middle of nowhere, tryin' to see A place in the world for a fellow like me Name in the paper, see my face on TV There ain't nothin' I can do but get away [Chorus] To the USA, we'll see you there tomorrow If I make it out through my door WXYZ's my favorite country station Well, we don't play country music anymore [Verse 3] And I remember all the stories I heard How a man's supposed to be about as free as a bird My brother's in prison, my father he's dead Me, I'm tired of livin' with a price on my head Say they're gonna get me but it ain't happened yet Burnin' my fingers on my last cigarette Time to remember, say it's time to forget There ain't nothin' I could do but get away [Chorus] To the USA, we'll see you there tomorrow Make it out through my door WXYZ's my favorite country station Well, we don't play country music anymore [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] To the USA, we'll see you there tomorrow If I make it out through my door WXYZ's my favorite country station We don't play country music anymore Don't play country music anymore Don't play country music anymore
