She looked at me with dignity

She said there's something you gotta see

Even though this country's headed for war

This nation is prouder than ever before

Yeah that was spirit in the air

We're more American than anywhere

And I just smile cause I could tell

This little girl was going to

Hell



Now I wouldn't mind

If you swallowed my pride

Make me feel alright

Yeah now deep inside

Feel alright



Hey, all the warmth in her heart

Couldn't keep my blood from running cold

Cause I fell for her looks

Now I wanna go for her throne

I tried to tell her a thousand times

But little girl didn't understand at all



Now I wouldn't mind

If you swallow my pride

Make me feel alright

Yeah now deep inside

Feel alright



Alright

You can swallow my pride



Now I wouldn't mind

If you swallowed my pride

Make me feel alright, deep inside

Feel alright

Pride... pride... pride

You can swallow my pride
