[ConservativeMan55]

I decided to find some great Conservative songs. Please list your favorites that I haven't mentioned. I am sure there are a ton I haven't mentioned. I think Darrly Worley has one about a Vietnam POW, and I am sure there are some that are missing so please help me out!

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

Four Walls of Raiford



Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me 
Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery 
I had two years behind, but I could not wait the time 
Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside

And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt 
For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt 
Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the cold 
Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more

And I comin' home to see you Jesus 
Well it feels so close this time 
Please take mercy on this soldier 
From the Florida-Georgia line

When they find me they must kill me 
Oh Jesus save my soul 
I can't go back down to Raiford 
I can't take that anymore

Well these last few years behind me 
Oh Lord, have been so sad 
I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad 
Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die 
Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime

Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me 
I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed 
Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down 
Won't fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground

And I comin' home to see you Jesus 
Well it feels so close this time 
Please take mercy on this soldier 
From the Florida-Georgia line

When they find me they must kill me 
Oh Jesus save my soul 
I can't go back down to Raiford 
I can't take that anymore

[HurkinMcGurkin]

I love "Sunshine" and some of his other music. Of course, most of his music would probably be described as "hippy". On the same album as "Sunshine", he has a song called "Shanty" which is about sitting around the house just getting high.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Thanks. I've only been on FR since Jan this year and contributed 2nd and 3rd quarter $100 each time. When I get these kids paid for I'll set up recurring. It shocks me how few Freepers choose to voluntarily support this site. Even 50 cents a day is something yet the few carry the weight of the many. I like your tagline also. I change mine frequently to suit my mood.

[weegee]

"Taxman" (The Beatles) - George Harrison's ode to tax collectors and the governments they work for.


Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.

[american spirit]

Probably the best one that very few people know of is 'WE MUST TAKE AMERICA BACK'....don't remember all the lyrics but it starts out: The American dream has become a nightmare....the sign of times are cardboard street corners in town....there's a cancer called crime in our cities...and an unspoken fear we're on our way down...We must take America back, put an end to the gangs and the drugs on the streets and the fact that the bad guys must always go free...that is wrong. The singer is Steve Vaus who's done many well made patriot songs, in fact they're so good most are banned from mainstream radio stations.....he probably makes all the phony politcos and others a little too uncomfortable.

David Allen Coe "If That Ain't Country"

THE OLD MAN WAS COVERED WITH TATTOOS AND SCARS 
HE GOT SOME IN PRISON AND OTHERS IN BARS 
THE REST HE GOT WORKIN' ON OLD JUNK CARS 
IN THE DAYTIME 
THEY LOOKED LIKE TOMBSTONES IN OUR YARD 
AND I NEVER SEEN HIM WHEN HE WASN'T TIRED 
AND MEAN 
HE SOLD USED PARTS TO MAKE ENDS MEET 
COVERED WITH GREASE FROM HIS HEAD TO HIS FEET 
CUSSIN' THE SWEAT AND THE TEXAS HEAT 
AND MOSQUITERS 
AND THE NEIGHBORS SAID WE LIVED LIKE HICKS 
BUT THEY BRUNG THEIR CARS FOR PA TO FIX 
ANYHOW 
HE WAS VETERAN-PROUD, TRIED AND TRUE 
HE'D FOUGHT TILL HIS HEART WAS BLACK AND BLUE 
DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE'D MADE IT THROUGH 
THE HARD TIMES 
HE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE ON THE G.I. BILL 
BUT IT WASN'T WORTH ALL HE HAD TO KILL 
TO GIT IT 
HE DRANK PEARL IN A CAN AND JACK DANIELS BLACK 
CHEWED TOBACCO FROM A MAIL POUCH SACK 
HAD AN OLD DOG THAT WAS TRAINED TO ATTACK 
SOMETIMES 
HE'D GET DRUNK AND MEAN AS A RATTLESNAKE 
AND THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH THAT HE WOULD TAKE 
FROM A STRANGER 

THERE WERE THIRTEEN KIDS AND A BUNCH OF DOGS 
A HOUSE FULL OF CHICKENS AND A YARD FULL OF HOGS 
I SPENT THE SUMMERTIME CUTTIN' UP LOGS FOR THE WINTER 
TRYIN' LIKE THE DEVIL TO FIND THE LORD 
WORKIN' LIKE A NIGGER FOR MY ROOM AND BOARD 
COAL-BURIN' STOVE, NO NATURAL GAS 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'LL HAIRLIP THE POPE 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD JOKE 
I'VE SEEN THE GRAND OLE OPRY, AND I'VE MET JOHNNY CASH 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS 

RECITATION: 
MAMA SELLS EGGS AT A GROCERY STORE 
MY OLDEST SISTER IS A FIRST-RATE WHORE 
DAD SAYS SHE CAN'T COME HOME ANYMORE 
AND HE MEANS IT 
MA JUST SITS AND KEEPS HER SILENCE 
SISTER, SHE LEFT 'CAUSE DAD GOT VIOLENT 
AND HE KNOWS IT 
MAMA SHE'S OLD FAR BEYOND HER TIME 
FROM CHOPPING TOBACCO AND I'VE SEEN HER CRYIN' 
WHEN BLOOD STARTED FLOWIN' FROM HER CALLOUSED HAND 
AND IT HURT ME 
SHE'D JUST KEEP WORKIN' TRYIN' TO HELP THE OLD MAN 
TO THE END OF ONE ROW AND BACK AGAIN 
LIKE ALWAYS 
SHE'S BEEN THROUGH HELL SINCE JUNIOR WENT TO JAIL 
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT SHE AIN'T NEVER FAILED 
TO GET DOWN ON HER KNEES AND PRAY 
BECAUSE SHE LOVES HIM 
TOLD ALL THE NEIGHBORS HE WAS OFF IN THE WAR 
FIGHTIN' FOR FREEDOM, HE'S GOOD TO THE CORE 
AND SHE'S PROUD 
NOW OUR PLACE WAS A GRAVEYARD FOR AUTOMOBILES 
AT THE END OF THE PORCH THERE WAS FOUR STACKS OF WHEELS 
AND TIRES FOR SALE FOR A DOLLAR OR TWO 
CASH 

THERE WAS FIFTY HOLES IN AN OLD TIN ROOF 
ME AND MY FAMILY WE WAS LIVIN' PROOF 
THE PEOPLE WHO FORGOT ABOUT POOR WHITE TRASH 
AND IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'LL HAIRLIP THE POPE 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD JOKE 
I'VE SEEN THE GRAND OLE OPRY, AND I'VE MET JOHNNY CASH 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS 

[Our man in washington]

Okay, so maybe he's more of a libertarian than a conservative. :)

[Prof Engineer]

For some reason I thought Lynard Skynard was a liberal?

I believe "Mr. Saturday Night Special" proves your point.

[HurkinMcGurkin]

I got no problem with that ;-)

I always loved that one line from "Sunshine" too, Sums up how I feel about politicians and others.

[mathluv]

Do you mean Merle is supporting Dennis Kuchinic (sp?)?

[gracex7]

For me, it's always been Chuck Berry's "Back in the U.S.A."

Oh well, oh well I feel so good today

I just touched down on an international runway

Jet-propelled back home from overseas to the USA.

New York, Los Angeles, oh how I yearn for you

Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge

How I long just to be in my home back in ol' St. Lou

Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeways?

From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay?

You can bet your life I did till I got back to the USA

I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA

Yeah, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA

Anything you want, we got it right here in the USA

[Texas Federalist]

Anthem
by Rush

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you
Down

Live for yourself -- there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more

Well, i know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, i
Came to write this song

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought

[gracex7]

Steve Vaus has got some great songs (that he writes). Is he still affiliated with 'For The People" and Chuck Harder?

[FortWorthPatriot]

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down You could stand me up at the gates of hell But I won't back down Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down Chorus Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out Hey I will stand my ground And I won't back down Well I know what's right, I got just one life In a world that keeps on pushin' me around But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down Hey baby there ain't no easy way out Hey I will stand my ground And I won't back down No, I won't back down

[american spirit]

I used to listen to Chuck a few yrs. ago and remember him playing Steve's songs like "I'd Rather die on my Feet than Live on my Knees", "Forever Heroes", etc. Some of his stuff has resurfaced from time to time on John Stadtmiller's show who is so far ahead of the talkshow curve it's not even funny. He's on www.gcnlive.com (STREAM 1 M-F 4-6CST) and if you check him out for a couple weeks you'll learn more from him and his callers than 6 months of the Mega ditto Blowfish.

[FortWorthPatriot]

Would someone please teach me how to format text - such as returns - in this forum? Re: my last post.

Thanks.

Ted Nugent, Rawdogs & Warhogs:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the mighty USA
Everywhere I run around they get out of my way
'Cause I'm American made, American born, from my hands my flag will not be torn away, no way!

'Cause I'm a Rawdog, Warhog, yeah
And I'm ready to fight, just pick out a night, I'll turn out your lights, I'm a Rawdog, Warhog, Rawdog, Warhog, yeah

Here I come like Crazy Horse, I hear that battle cry
My spirit is full like sitting bull, it's a perfect day to die

'Cause I'm a Rawdog, Warhog, yeah
And I'm ready to fight, just pick out a night, I'll turn out your lights, I'm a Rawdog, Warhog, Rawdog, Warhog, yeah

Let's not forget the classic "Capitalism" by Oingo Boingo:

Capitalism

There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
There's nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don't try to make me feel guilty
I'm so tired of hearing you cry

There's nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask me I'll say it's just fine
There's nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
I'm so tired of hearing you whine
About the revolution
Bringin' down the rich
When was the last time you dug a ditch, baby!

If it ain't one thing
Then it's the other
Any cause that crosses your path
Your heart bleeds for anyone's brother
I've got to tell you you're a pain in the ass

You criticize with plenty of vigor
You rationalize everything that you do
With catchy phrases and heavy quotations
And everybody is crazy but you

You're just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that we've got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain (you dumb f---). . .

(Repeat first verse)

(Repeat chorus)

There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
