henry gibson - 200 years lyrics

Loading...

my mother’s people came by ship
and fought at bunker hill
my daddy lost a leg in france
i have his medal still
my brother served with patton
i saw action in algiers
oh we must be doin’ somethin’ right
to last 200 years.‎

i pray my sons won’t go to war
but if they must, they must
i share our country’s motto
and in god i place my trust
we may have had our ups and downs
our times of trials and fears
but we must be doin’ somethin’ right
to last 200 years.‎

i’ve lived through two depressions
and seven dust bowl droughts
floods, locusts and tornadoes
but i don’t have any doubts
we’re all a part of history
why old glory waves to show
how far along we’ve come ’til now
how far we’ve got to go.‎

it’s been hard work but every time
we get into a fix
let’s think of what our children faced
in two – ought – seven – six
it’s up to us, to pave the way
with our blood and sweat and tears
for we must be doin’ somethin’ right
to last 200 years.‎
