[Verse 1] I wish that my Grandad was still here today 'Cause' I'd love to hear what he'd have to say About three dollars and fifty-nine cents for a gallon of gas And I'd show him my wife and what I've done with my life And see if he liked all these songs that I write Oh, I wish I knew what he would think about the fact that If you're sixteen and pregnant, you'll get on tv But yet we're laying off school teachers fast as can be Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us now
[Chorus] He'd probably ask me why the good ol' US-of-A Is so damn tied up in our foreign aid When the American farmer's got to sell all the cows To keep the bank from taking the house I wish I could write him in on my ballot for the next president 'Cause there's men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend But there will never be another man like him
[Verse 2] I'm glad that I'm not some big Hollywood star Who thinks they have the right to go as far As bitching about the hundred million dollars they make a year 'Cause there's scars on my knuckles and sweat on my brow And I know that Grandpa, he'd sure be proud Of my little part that I've made to our family tree He'd probably ask me why People like Casey Anthony can get off scot-free And why our taxes are still killing folks just like you and me Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us now
[Chorus] He'd probably ask me why the good ol' US-of-A Is so damn tied up in our foreign aid When the American farmer's got to sell all the cows To keep the bank from taking the house I wish I could write him in on my ballot for the next president 'Cause there's men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend But there will never be another man like him Yeah there's men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend But there will never be another man like himTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
