Hawks and Doves lyrics

Ain't getting old,

ain't getting younger though

Just getting used

to the lay of the land

I ain't tongue-tied,

just don't got nothin' to say

I'm proud to be livin' in the U.S.A.

Ready to go, willin' to stay and pay

U.S.A., U.S.A.

So my sweet love can dance

another free day

U.S.A., U.S.A.

In history we painted pictures grim

The devil knows

we might feel that way again

The big wind blows,

so the tall grass bends

But for you don't

push too hard my friend.

Ready to go, willin' to stay and pay

U.S.A., U.S.A.

So my sweet wife can dance

another free day

U.S.A., U.S.A.

Got people here

down on their knees and prayin'

Hawks and doves

are circlin' in the rain

Got rock and roll,

got country music playin'

If you hate us, you just

don't know what you're sayin'.

Ready to go, willin' to stay and pay

U.S.A., U.S.A.

So my sweet love can dance

another free day

U.S.A., U.S.A.
