G            Gm                        A        Asus4

If you're sixteen and pregnant, you'll get on tv, but yet we're laying off school teachers fast as can be
G                                          A
Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us now

                     C                 G
He'd probably ask me why the good ole' US of A
   D
Is so damn tied up in our foreign aid
         C                       G
When the American farmers got to sell all the cows
            A         Asus4
To keep the bank from taking the house.

         D                     G
The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend
               Em        A               D

       Bm
And I know that Grandpa, he'd sure be proud
   G                                           D
Of my little part that I've made to our family tree
                     Bm                                F                              Bm
