Lyrics I Am a Patriot - Jackson Browne
And
the
river
opens
for
the
righteous
(5
times)
Someday
I
was
walking
with
my
brother
And
he
wondered
what′s
on
my
mind
I
said
what
I
believe
in
my
soul
Ain't
what
I
see
with
my
eyes
And
we
can′t
turn
our
backs
this
time
I
am
a
patriot
And
I
love
my
county
Because
my
country
is
all
I
know
I
want
to
be
with
my
family
The
people
who
understand
me
I've
got
nowhere
else
to
go
And
the
river
opens
for
the
righteous
And
the
river
opens
for
the
righteous
And
the
river
opens
for
the
righteous
Someday
And
I
was
talking
with
my
sister
She
looked
so
fine
I
said,
"Baby,
what's
on
your
mind?"
She
said,
"I
want
to
run
like
the
lion"
Released
from
the
cages
Released
from
the
rages
Burning
in
my
heart
tonight
And
I
ain′t
no
communist
And
I
ain′t
no
capitalist
And
I
ain't
no
socialist
And
I
ain′t
no
imperialist
And
I
ain't
no
democrat
And
I
ain′t
no
republican
I
only
know
one
party
And
it
is
freedom
I
am,
I
am,
I
am
I
am
a
patriot
And
I
love
my
country
Because
my
county
is
all
I
know
And
the
river
opens
for
the
righteous
And
the
river
opens
for
the
righteous
And
the
river
opens
for
the
righteous
Someday
And
the
river
opens
for
the
righteous...
