Lynyrd Skynyrd - Red, White, and Blue



We don't have no plastic L.A. Friends,
ain't on the edge of no popular trend.
Ain't never seen the inside of that magazine GQ.
We don't care if you 're a lawyer, or a texas oil man,
or some waitress busting ass in some liquor stand.
If you got Soul
We hang out with people just like you

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Ride our own bikes To Sturgis
we pay our own dues,
smoking camels, drinking domestic brews
You want to know where I have been
just look at my hands
Yeah, I've driven by the White House,
Spent some time in jail.
Momma cried but she still wouldn't pay my bail.
I ain't been no angel,
But even God, he understands.

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Yeah that's right!

My Daddy worked hard, and so have I,
paid our taxes and gave our lives
to serve this great country
so what are they complaining about

Yeah we love our families, we love our kids
you know it is love that makes us all so rich
That's where were at,
If they don't like it they can just
get the HELL out!

Yeah!

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

oh..oh..Red, White, and Blue....

Red, White, and Blue

oh..oh....Red, White, and Blue

:hb:

Another GREAT tune...



In America - Charlie Daniels Band

Well the eagles been flying slow,
and the flag's been flying low,
and a lotta people say that America's fixing to fall.
But speaking just for me, and some people from Tennessee,
we got a thing or two to tell ya all.
This Lady may have stumbled, but she ain't ever fell.
And if our (enemies) don't believe that, they can all go straight to hell.
We're gonna put her feet back on righteousness and then,
God bless America again.

And you never did think that it would ever happen again in America did you?
You never did think that we'd ever get together again.
Well we damn sure fooled ya.
We're walking real proud and we're talking real proud again here in America.
Ya never did think that it would ever happen again.

From them sound up in Long Island,
out to San Francisco bay,
and ev'rything in between it is our home.
And we may have done a little bit of fighting amongst ourselves,
but you outside people best leave us alone.
'Cause we'll all stick together,
and you can take that to the bank -
that's the cowboys and the hippies,
and the rebels and the yanks!
You just go lay your hand on a Pittsburgh Steeler fan
and I think gonna finally understand.

And you never did think that it would ever happen again, in America did ya? You never think we'd ever get together again.
Well we damn sure fooled ya.
We're walking real proud and talking real loud again here in America.
Ya never did think that it would ever happen again.

I hope you all will give this a listen, an awesome story and beautiful song



Lyrics for Arlington:

I never thought that this is where I'd settle down,
I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown,
They gave me this plot of land, me and some other men,
for a job well done.

There's a big white house sits on a hill just up the road,
The man inside he cried the day they brought me home,
They folded up a flag, and told my mom and dad, 'We're proud of your son'.

And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property,
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company,
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done,
I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones,
I made it to Arlington.

I remember daddy brought me here when I was eight,
We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay,
And when we finally found that cross,
He said, 'Son this is what it cost, to keep us free'.
Now here I am a thousand stones away from him,
He recognized me on the first day I came in,
And it gave me a chill, when he clicked his heels, and saluted me.

And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property,
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company,
And I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done,
I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones,
I made it to Arlington.

And every time I hear, twenty-one guns,
I know they brought another hero home, to us.

We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done,
We can rest in peace, 'cause we were the chosen ones,
We made it to Arlington, yea, dust to dust
Don't cry for us, we made it to Arlington.





and of course the Rebel himself ole Hank Jr.:
