In this country no one cares what kind of shoes you wear

No one here's gonna tell you how to comb your hair

You can demonstrate and march on the White House criticize if that's your bag

But don't forget motherhood apple pie and the flag

It might be your way of life to roam this country side

Knockin' what you learn in the classroom hist'ry books

You can stand in sit in walk in love in patch your rags if that's your bag

But don't forget motherhood apple pie and the flag

People I'm talkin' to the rich folks livin' up high on the fancy side of town

Talkin' to the man with the holes in his ragged shoes

Talkin' to the young and the old and our leaders too

My people hey I'm talkin' about me and you

[ guitar ]

In this country you can practice what you're preachin'

Tell the man in the high backed chair what you believe in

You can wear love beads or a Stetson hat do your thing if that's where it's at

But don't forget motherhood apple pie and the flag



In this country no one cares what kind of shoes you wear

No one here's gonna tell you how to comb your hair

You can demonstrate and march on the White House criticize if that's your bag

But don't forget motherhood apple pie and the flag
