GC Song Dedications

Ooo beth, you saw REK? In santa Cruz?

This one goes out to our troops and commander-in-chief

God Bless the USA
Lee Greenwood

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,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

>From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea.
>From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There's pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

Saddam and UBL, this one's for you...

Angry American
Toby Keith

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

Another Toby Keith one:

"The Taliban Song"

"I'm just a middle-aged, middle-eastern camel herdin' man
I got a, 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan
Things used to be real cool and they got out of hand when they moved in
They call themselves the Taliban
(ooooo yeah the taliban) (taliban baby)

Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she's just like me, nah she can't stand
The Taliban (ooo taliban baby)

You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban
(oh yeah the taliban) (baby)

Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win
Said they would, stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said "Now, you
sons of bitches you better not be doin any business with the taliban"
(Taliban baby)

So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
And then those big U.S. jets came flyin in one night
They dropped little bombs all over our holy land
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran
(the taliban)

You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do real fine down around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair audieu and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban
(oh yeah, taliban)
we'll bid a fair adieu and flip a big boner to The Taliban (baby)"

To Bobby Brown:

"Hit Me with Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar

Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's O.K., lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes, lets get down to it!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

You come on with a "come on", you don't fight fair
But that's O.K., see if I care!
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back on my feet again!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Come On, Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

Love, Whitney Houston

[Dionysus]

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Rosanna's down in Texarcana
Wanted me to push her broom
And sweet Irene's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimples who now lives in Temple
Got the law looking for me


All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee


I remember that old rio river
Where I learned to swim
And it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight


All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee


Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee

Texas Time Travelin’
Cory Morrow


Well, close your eyes and dream with me
I'm goin' on a trip through history
I wanna see some sights today
Hey, we'll go back when time was young
And you learned the trigger of the gun
Or you'd be six feet on your way

When the mountains closed the valley side
And the rivers held the miner's pride
It was the year of '49
Hey those days are now gone and dead
And I wish that I could see the lead
Flying from the cowboy's iron

I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me
I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me
I wanna be there to breathe the air and see all I can see
In my Texas time travelin' machine

Well the day goes on, the sun beats down
And bakes your skin a golden brown
Now your feelin' like a king
And we'll pull off along side the road
And see the land that Jesse owned
And all the times he spent with me

Then along the skyline of the trees
We'll skinnydip within the stream
And we'll flash the passin' cars
And then we'll jump into our Cadillac
The tracks of time will take us back
Back to the land off so far

I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me
I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me
I wanna be there to breathe the air and see all I can see
In my Texas time travelin' machine

You got to take a look around and see
Tis land before it drowns
Underneath the city streets
Geronimo, he said it best,
"This is my land, I will not rest
Until I'm dead or it’s been freed"

I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me
I wanna go time travelin' through Texas you and me
I wanna be there to breathe the air and see all I can see
In my Texas time travelin' machine

this thread = so fun.

i've been laughing so hard for the past 7 minutes or so that it took me to read it through. HAHAHA.

[sugar and spice]

I dedicate this to my fellow Wisconsin GCers, because this guy knows what Wisconsin is all about.

"Sex and Beer"
Pat McCurdy (an alum of my fabulous, world-reknowned academic institution)

St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians
Said, "It came to me upon a midnight clear
I finished writing all of my gospel
Now all I seem to want is sex and beer"

Marc Antony looked down on Caesar's body
He said "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me you ear
I did not come here to praise Caesar
I came here for sex and beer

Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the two things we hold dear
Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the things we like 'round here

George Washington, he never crossed the Delaware
There was no midnight ride for Paul Revere
Ben Franklin never discovered electricity
They were too busy looking for sex and beer

Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the two things we hold dear
Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the things we like 'round here

Charles Dickens gave us "Great Expectations"
Shakespeare gave us "Hamlet" and "King Lear"
Dostoyevsky gave us "Crime and Punishment"
Who the hell is gonna give us sex and beer?

Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the two things we hold dear
Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the things we like 'round here

From the city to the suburbs to the country
From the Southern to the Northern hemisphere
They're holding a tremendous referendum
And everyone's choosing sex and beer

Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the two things we hold dear
Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the things we like 'round here

They can take away my pride and my dignity
They can use up all my blood and sweat and tears
They can take away my name and give a number
But they can never take away my sex and beer

Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the two things we hold dear
Sex and beer, sex and beer
Are the things we like 'round here

We like sex and beer and sex and beer
And sex and beer
And sex
And beer . . .

Take Me Away From Here by Tim McGraw to uh, it's a secret

Mama, I'm Coming Home
Ozzy Osbourne

For me in 6 days

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home
Times gone by seem to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned aroound
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm coming home

Selfish love yeah we're both alone
The ride before the fall
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all

CHORUS
I've seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause Mama, Mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

CHORUS

Song Title: Stayin' Out Late



Stayin' out late in a honky tonk bar
Findin' new ways to be untrue
Drinkin' my way through this month's rent
Seems to be the best I can do

Drunk and enraged and I'm showin' my age
I dreamt away my money and my mind
No woman to call wife, I got no home to spend my life
And no desire for either at this time

I'm showin' no signs of growin' up at any time
I keep a firm grasp upon my youth
And the subtlety of love is something I know nothing of
And I have got no concept of the truth

Stayin' out late in a honky tonk bar
Findin' new ways to be untrue
Drinkin' my way through this month's rent
Seems to be the best I can do

It's all a matter of where your going
I don't know where I'm going from here

Desperate ways seem to control my everyday
And it's hard to understand why I run
But this poet's dance is my last chance
To lay down my pen and show you how it's done

Stayin' out late in a honky tonk bar
Findin' new ways to be untrue
Drinkin' my way through this month's rent
Seems to be the best I can do
Yeah it seems to be the best I can do

"You Wanted More" to someone....

Love Is Tragic
Love Is Bold
You Will Always
Do What You Are Told

Love Is Hard
Love Is Strong
You Will Never Say That You Were Wrong
I Don't Know When I Got Bitter
But Love Is Surely Better When It's Gone

'Cause You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

Love is color
Love is loud
Love is never saying you're too proud
Love is trusting
Love is honest
Love is not a hand to hold you down
I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

I got to pick me up when I am down
I got to get my feet back on the ground
I got to pick me up when I am down

You wanted more
More than I could love
More than I could offer
The harder you would shove
You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
