Open Your Windows And Turn This One WAY Up Just So The Neighbors Hear

This one's for all you Infidels, but, especially Pastorius, WC and Always on Watch
Lynyrd Skynyrd
That Ain't My America



Sometimes I want to light up underneath the no smoking sign
Sometimes I wished they'd tell me how justice got so blind
I wish they'd just leave me alone cause I'm doing alright
You can take your change on down the road and leave me here with mine

Cause that ain't my America, that ain't this country's roots
You want to slam ol Uncle Sam but I ain't lettin' you
I'm mad as hell and you know I still, bleed red white and blue
That ain't us, That ain't my America, That Ain't My America

Yeah I was standing there in Dallas, waiting on a plane
I overheard an old man tell a young soldier thanks
Young soldier hung his head and said its hard to believe
You're the only one that took the time to say a word to me

And the old man said

That ain't my America, that ain't this country's roots
You want to slam ol Uncle Sam but I ain't lettin' you
Yeah I'm mad as hell and you know I still, bleed red white and blue
That ain't us, That ain't my America, That Ain't My America


It's to the women and men in their hands they hold a bible and a gun
And they ain't afraid of nothing when they're holding either one, oh, uhh
Now there's kids that can't pray in school, hundred dollar tanks of gas,
I can tell you right now this country ain't, ain't supposed to be like that


No, that ain't my America, that ain't this country's roots
You want to slam ol Uncle Sam but I ain't lettin' you
Yeah I'm mad as hell and you know I still, bleed red white and blue
That ain't us, that ain't my, that ain't my America, oh no, That Ain't My America

No, no, no, no, ohh, ohhh, uhuh, that ain't my America, oh no....

I thank you for the post. Havn't taken much notice of the new Skynard. I may have a coffee and try to catch them on the Late Late show tonight.

Always On Watch said...

MR,
Thanks for posting this. Appropriate -- to say the least.

Their new album, God & Guns, was just released Tuesday.

As the title implies, most of it is like this.

They are no fans of the current administration :)

WOW. How timely...

Ya think this is on O!bama's Ipod?

You know what, I don't even like this kind of music, but I'll buy the CD just cuz of the title and to support what they're saying.
