Texty: Grand Funk Railroad. 1976.

Hey, ohh
Oh, happy birthday America
Lord knows you ain't no sweet sixteen
But we love you 'cause you're beautiful, America
We still believe in the American dream

We better all keep remembering this land now
A land full of people been' gettin' their kicks, Lord, Lord
I think we all better pick up the sticks
In 1976

God put man on this planet
But man forgot that he was heaven sent
Man takes the planet for granted
I thought American people would-a had more sense

We better keep all remembering this land now
This land full of people been' gettin' their kicks, Lord, Lord
I think we all better pick up the sticks
In 1976

Hey, we better keep all remembering this land now
The land full of people been' gettin' their kicks, Lord, Lord
I think we all better pick up the sticks
In 1976
