so if you know me at all, you know that i hate country music with a passion. i'm in the midst of finding that thin line between folk and country (i am a fan of folk...) and although this next song could probably be put on that revolting side, i absolutely love its lyrics and find it very appropriate this time of year."If a song could be presidentWe’d hum on Election DayThe gospel choir would start to swayAnd we’d all have a part to playThe first lady would free her hipsPull a microphone to her lipsBreak our hearts with Rhythm and BluesSteve Earle would anchor the newsWe’d vote for a melodyPass it around on an MP3All our best foreign policyWould be built on harmonyIf a song could be presidentWe’d fly a jukebox to the moonAll our founding fathers’ 45’sLightnin’ Hopkins and Patsy ClineIf a song could be presidentIf a song could be presidentWe could all add another verseLife would teach us to rehearseTill we found a key changeBreak out of this minor keyHalf-truths and hypocrisyWe wouldn’t need an underachiever-in-chiefIf a song could be presidentWe’d make Neil Young a SenatorEven though he came from CanadaEmmylou would be AmbassadorWorld leaders would listen to herThey would show us where our country went wrongStrum their guitars on the White House lawnJohn Prine would run the FBIAll the criminals would laugh and cryIf a song could be president."if only, right?
