Country Anthem
Composer(s): Hoyt Axton
Performer(s): Hoyt Axton



Do you really think you'd recognise him
If he came walkin' up to you?
If he came back again, they'd hit him in the head
And nail him to the doorway of their lies
An' they would not blame each other
But another crazy brother
An' salute the flag an' mother when he died
And count the blood red silver in their minds
And count the lives of children like their dimes
An' what's a dime, one more time?

New release 
Mmm mmm mmm

I'd like to sing our country's anthem
But I can't seem to make it ring
Old Frank Keyes, the man who wrote it
Obviously didn't sing

Mmmm
