This song and video, written, performed, and recorded by fellow FReeper "Quill Pen", is a tribute to America and those who risk their lives to keep America free.
From the chorus:
It's A Free Country, where dreams come true
'Cause once you've tasted freedom, a cage will never do.
It's A Free Country, as long as we live and breath
So don't tread on me, no, don't tread on me
It's A Free Country.
I encourage you to check the song video out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOx9GOmdqhA

I thought it might be nice to add a picture of Quill Pen, standing in front of Old Glory and the Gadsden flag. This is snapped from the beginning of
the video, with her permission.

Hi Swordmaker,
Thanks for the ping to the list!
FreeRepublic's Apple fans may be interested to know that she did this video on a 2007-era Intel Mac Mini, using iMovie 11. The raw video of her singing and playing was shot by yours truly using a Flip Video HD handheld, and imported into iMovie, where the title text was added and the post-processing was done prior to upload to YouTube. The final audio tracks were done mostly in Quill Pen's home studio; the soundtrack used in the iMovie final product is her CD mix.
iMovie 11 is amazing. She's done CD recordings for many years, but this was her first foray into a home-produced video.

It means so much to me that you passed my song on to others!
My goal is for all of America to hear this song, to remind us how fortunate we are to live in this Great Nation!!!

I drove through Alabama, New York one time. I don't think I've ever heard of there. But according to Google Maps I've been mighty close -- I've gone out to Darien Lakes park lots of times with my daughter to ride the roller coasters. And if instead of turning south from the thruway, I had turned north, I'd have been in Alabama!
"Whod'a thunk it?" :)

‘breath’ should be ‘breathe’ (probably not the lyricist’s mistake)
To: SlightOfTongue
Yep, that was my error, typing the lyrics by hand.
