I've always been struck by this song, the key line of which is "at least . . ." The self- pity or bathos or something is so thick and pathetic. Like some other country songs. It's like we lost the house, my woman left me, and my dog died all over again.

A fascinating text indeed. It doesn't matter if I lose it all - job, health insurance, house, whatever - at least I'm free! And you don't agree, I'll pull your ear off.

Artist: Lee Greenwood Title: Proud To Be An American Album: [ Unsorted ] Lyrics provided by www.MaxLyrics.com

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 livin here today. 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away. And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I wont 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 USA.

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. Well there's pride in every American heart, and its time we stand and say. That I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I wont 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 USA. And I'm proud to be and American, where at least I know I'm free. And I wont 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 USA. ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
