This was written a few days after the September 11th terrorist attacks. My father was a soldier in the Army in the ‘50s and always flew a flag to show his patriotism. I had just lost him in a car wreck six months before the attacks took place, so I wrote my feelings down. I never really intended for this to be a song. It was originally titled “Angry American.”



American Girls and American Guys We’ll always stand up and salute We’ll always recognize When we see Old Glory Flying There’s a lot of men dead So we can sleep in peace at night When we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army Where he lost his right eye But he flew a flag out in our yard Until the day that he died He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me To grow up and live happy In the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love Has fallen under attack A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in From somewhere in the back Soon as we could see clearly Through our big black eye Man, we lit up your world Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam Put your name at the top of his list And the Statue of Liberty Started shakin’ her fist And the eagle will fly Man, it’s gonna be hell When you hear Mother Freedom Start ringin’ her bell And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Justice will be served And the battle will rage This big dog will fight When you rattle his cage And you’ll be sorry that you messed with The U.S. of A. `Cause we`ll put a boot in your ass It`s the American way

Hey Uncle Sam Put your name at the top of his list And the Statue of Liberty Started shakin’ her fist And the eagle will fly Man, it’s gonna be hell When you hear Mother Freedom Start ringin’ her bell And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Beer For My Horses
with Willie Nelson (Toby Keith, Scott Emerick) ©2002 Tokeco Tunes (BMI); Sony/ATV Songs LLC dba Tree Publishing Co./Big Yellow Dog Music (BMI) I had this title forever, and when Scott Emerick came up with a neat little melody lick, the two just went hand-in-hand. The song was written prior to September 11th. It’s about justice, but more so about the law of the Old West. It truly depicts how I feel about our justice system today. I had the privilege of having an American icon and hero of mine sing on here with me: Willie Nelson. Awesome.

Well a man come on the 6 o’clock news Said somebody’s been shot, somebody’s been abused Somebody blew up a building Somebody stole a car Somebody got away Somebody didn’t get too far yeah They didn’t get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son A man had to answer for the wicked that he done Take all the rope in Texas Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that

Chorus:

Justice is the one thing you should always find You got to saddle up your boys You got to draw a hard line When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune We’ll all meet back at the local saloon We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds We’ve got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets It’s time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground Send ’em all to their maker and he’ll settle ’em down You can bet he’ll set ’em down ’cause

Chorus (x2)

It`s All Good

Sometimes I draw inspiration from current events. This is one of those times. I felt like writing this song with a “good mood” approach during very blue times. No matter how bad it may appear to be in this country, we still live in the best place in the world. Period. Stream this track in Real Audio Stream this track in Windows Media

Mother earth has changed since I was a child The east is a beast and the west is really wild And the headlines say that the end looks grim And the future don’t look so bright

You can’t even open your mailbox, you can’t take a plane And everybody’s lookin’ for somebody to blame I think I’m gonna let the president Save this ol’ world tonight

It Works For Me
(Toby Keith, Scott Emerick) ©2002 Tokeco Tunes (BMI); Sony/ATV Songs LLC dba Tree Publishing Co./Big Yellow Dog Music (BMI) This is what happens when you mix great melody with great content. It’s not completely autobiographical now, but really closer to me as a 20-year-old. I still carry most of these true colors with me.

Never owned a brand new car Never worked in a white collar Never held a woman longer Than I held one single dollar I never went out chasin’ rainbows ‘Cause there can’t be that much to it Even if I found my pot of gold I know I’d piss right through it

I can’t remember ever wanting For one second of my life Even if I did it cost too much To ever pay the price I don’t dance out on the dark side Ain’t no secrets I have to tell So you don’t have to say a prayer for me I just said one for myself

Chorus: I’m livin’ my life Under my terms I’m callin’ the shots As far as I can see I don’t owe nobody nothin’ I don’t answer to a soul Might not work for you But it works for me

I’ve been bent and bruised and broken And flat busted once or twice I brought most of it upon myself But I never compromised My pride’s too hard to swallow So I’ve chewed a lot of it Mild-mannered and soft-hearted And hard-headed as you get I live out on the backroads Where I walk my country mile And if it’s so good in the city Why don’t anybody smile? The traffic’s always heavy And the air ain’t fit to breathe I ain’t saying that it’s wrong for you It just don’t make sense to me

Chorus

HANK WILLIAMS JR
Mr. Lincoln
by Hank Williams Jr. transcribed by Clay Logan

Chorus:

Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here The Republics changed alot in a hundred years I don't think its working like you planned Mr Lincoln we sure could use a hand

Verse:

I just read the headlines in the Nashville News And I wish i made this up but im afraid its true Cause a man was murdered for his money in the street

He was takin his wife to a nice place to eat When they caught the man he did 23 months of time He plead insanity like they do now all the time Sir what would you have done in 1859

Now if you shoot someone sir you can get off scott free its the latest thing mr Lincoln can you believe Now they sue the manufactures of the guns aint the law changed alot since 1861

Repeat chorus I just heard the new story on the radio they let dangerous men outta prison now yes sir im afraid its so cause theyre overcrowded and it was only his fifth offense and this time hes killed someone does that make any sense Now my lawyer called me about a nuisance case Cause everybody sues over any little thing these days

Well at least we're right all we gotta do is tell the truth.... he said youre living in the past you romantic fool i said you got that right i lean toward the older ways And theres damn few back woods lawyers left today

repeat chorus 2x

* Song: The Coalition to Ban Coalitions
* Artist: Hank Williams, Jr.

* Album: The Pressure is On (WEA / Atlantic, 1987)

The all-time best liberty song, containing the clearest libertarian sentiment, comes from country legend Hank Williams, Jr. If you hear it, you'll want to nominate it for Official Theme Song of the Libertarian Party.

I'll let the lyrics speak for themselves: "This is the coalition to ban coalitions / I'm not a politician, but I've got views / some folks want to ban cars, some want to get rid of Fender guitars / hey, you do your thing and we'll do our thing, too

...now they want to take my cigarettes and all my good whiskey / and these damn coalitions they are after you and me / they want to get rid of my .44s and all the R-rated films / if they only knew how much we'd all love to get rid of them." Somebody ought to approach Hank about joining the party.

* Song: God Bless The USA
* Artist: Lee Greenwood * Album: American Patriot (EMD / Capitol, 1992) I know this was George Bush's unofficial anthem during his second run for office, but it's a moving song --

Greenwood sings: "If tomorrow all the things were gone / I'd worked for all my life / And I had to start again / with just my children and my wife / I'd thank my lucky stars / to be living here today / 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom / and they can't take that away / I'm proud to be an American / where at least I know I'm free..."




Darryl Worley
Have you forgotten?
I hear people saying we don't need this war I say there's some things worth fighting for What about our freedom and this piece of ground? We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in Before you start preaching Let me ask you this my friend

CHORUS 1 Have you forgotten how it felt that day To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away? Have you forgotten when those towers fell? We had neighbors still inside Going through a living hell And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten?

HANK WILLIAMS. "Country Boy Can Survive"
The preacher man say's it's the end of time The Mississippi river, she's going dry The interest is up, and the stock market's down You only get mugged if you go down town I live back in the woods you see, My woman, my kids, and my dogs, and me

I got a shotgun, and a rifle, and a 4 wheel drive A Country boy can survive And a Country boy can survive See, i can plow a field all day long I can catch catfish, from dusk till dawn We make our own whisky, and our own smoke too Aint too many things these ole boys cant do, no We grow good ole tomatoes, make homemade wine

A Country boy can survive And a Country boy can survive Cause you cant starve us out, cant make us run Were the boys and girls raised with shotguns

We say grace, and we say Mam If you aint into that, we don't give a damn

IRAQ and I ROLL.
Clint Black
You can wave your signs and protest

against America taking a stand,

the stands America's taking

are the reason that you can.

If everyone would go for peace

there'd be no need for war.

But we can't ignore the devil,

he'll keep coming back for more.

Some see this in black and white,

others only gray.

We're not begging for a fight,

no matter what they say.

We have the resolution

that should put 'em all to shame.

It's a different kind of deadline

when I'm called in the game.

Iraq, I rack 'em up and I roll,

I'm back and I'm a hi-tech GI Joe.

I pray for peace, prepare for war

and I never will forget ~

there's no price too high for freedom

so be careful where you tread.

This terror isn't man to man,

they can be no more than cowards.

If they won't show us their weapons

we might have to show them ours.

Now it might be a smart bomb,

they find stupid people too.

If you stand with the likes of Saddam,

well, one might just find you.

Iraq, I rack 'em up and I roll,

I'm back and I'm a hi-tech GI Joe.

I got infrared, I got GPS,

I got that good old fashioned lead.

No price too high for freedom,

so be careful where you tread.

Now you can come along

or you can stay behind

or you can get out of the way.

But our troops take out the garbage

for the good old USA.

Iraq, I rack 'em up and I roll.

for the USA.

Charlie Daniels
The Last Fallen Hero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The Last Fallen Hero"

Oh the cowards came by morning and attacked without a warning Leaving flames and death and chaos in our streets In the middle of this fiery hell brave heroes fell

In the skies of Pennsylvania on a plane bound for destruction With the devil and his angels at the wheel They never reached their target on the ground Brave heroes brought it down

Chorus: This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause I will do what my country asks of me Make any sacrifice We’ll pay whatever price So the children of tomorrow can be free Lead on red, white and blue And we will follow you until we win the final victory God help us do our best we will not slack or rest Till the last fallen hero rests in peace

Fightin' Side Of Me
Written and sung by Merle Haggard

I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.
When they're runnin' down my country, hoss,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

[Hatteras]

Forever Young by Bob Dylan



May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

Trigger Happy
by Weird Al
Got an AK-47, well you know it makes me feel alright
Got an Uzi by my pillow, helps me sleep a little better at night
There's no feeling any greter
Than to shoot first and ask questions later
Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day

Well, you can't take my guns away, I got a constitutional right
Yeah, I gotta be ready if the Commies attack us tonight
I'll blow their brains out with my Smith and Wesson
That ought to teach them all a darn good lesson
Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day

(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I'm so)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away

Oh, I accidently shot daddy last night in the den
I mistook him in the dark for a drug-crazed Nazi again
Now why'd you have to get so mad?
It was just a lousy flesh wound, Dad
You know, I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day

Oh, I still haven't figured out the safety on my rifle yet
Little Fluffy took a round, better take him to the vet
I filled that kitty cat so full of lead
We'll have to use him for a pencil instead
Well, I'm so trigger happy, trigger happy every day

(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I'm so)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away

Come on and grab your ammo
What have you got to lose?
We'll all get liquored up
And shoot at anything that moves

Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight
Oh, I'm prayin' somebody tries to break in here tonight
I always keep a Magnum in my trunk
You better ask yourself, do you feel lucky, punk?
Because I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day

(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I'm so)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away

Ship of Fools by Garcia/Hunter

Ship of Fools

Went to see the captain, strangest I could find,
Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line.
I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels,
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools.

Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

Saw your first ship sink and drown, from rockin' of the boat,
And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
I won't leave you drifting down, but woh it makes me wild,
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child.

Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before.
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more.
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few:
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.

Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought, when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

[ConservativeMan55]

Thats a pretty good one.

Artist: East West
Album: The Light in Guineveres Garden
Song: Disturbed

Lies birthed kill innocence. Child's smile turn upsidedown.
Silence bears the mark you see, bring an end to what's to come.
You don't see what I can see, twisted pictures haunting me,
Failure trails so close behind, you'll just wait till we meet again.

[chorus]
You, You're the reason. You're the one that's stealing my freedom!

Anger scars another back, Child quiet to mask the pain,
Running from a scary man, bring an end to what's the come.
You don't see what I can see, twisted pictures haunting me,
Failure trails so close behind, you'll just wait till we meet again.

[chorous]
You, You're the reason. You're the one that's stealing my freedom!

Refresh me, renew me, refresh me, renew me.


Artist: East West
Album: The Light in Guineveres Garden
Song: Pretty Pictures

What it is I often wonder,
Turning you away.
Listen to that still small voice,
Fade away.

You see only what you want to,
Close your eyes and sleep.
You hear only what you want to,
Clinging to your lies.

[Chorus]
You and I we see things different now
You and I we see things differently.

Close your mouth your words are stolen,
Heard them all before,
Speaking truths you've long forgotten,
Falling to the floor.

I can see everything now that you're so blinded,
I can see everything now thats it's all clear.

[rockfish59]

I remember when Hank Jr. said that if he had Patty Loveless, she wouldn't be 'loveless' anymore!
