Favorite American Patriotic Song

This is the perfect tune. This is Americana. Cheap Seats by Alabama. Damn I miss the south. The calls coming. I want to come home.

his town ain't big, this town ain't small.
It's a little of both they say.
Our ball club may be minor league but at least it's triple A.
We sit below the Marlboro man, above the right field wall.
We do the wave all by ourself.
Hang off, a blind man could've made that call.

We like beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher what's his name.
Well we can't even spell it.
We don't worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.

The game was close, we'll call it a win.
Go off to toast the boys again.
That local band is back in town.
They got a kinda minor league sound.
They're not that bad, they're not that good.
But all in all it's understood.
We wanna dance, they wanna play.
We wouldn't have it any other way.

We like beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher what's his name.
Well we can't even spell it.
We don't worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.
Cheap seats

Now the majors called up oh what's his name.
And one more buildin' rises come.
And suddenly we're all grown up.
And this old town not quite so small.
But I'll always miss the middle size town.
In the middle of the middle-west.
With no name pitchers and local bands,
and mustard and relish and all the rest.

I posted this as a silly post elsewhere. I'll make it a serious post here.

Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA", the best patriotic song EVER.

I went to his son's house for a Halloween Party years ago. I saw all the pictures and said, "You must be a fan. He's really good". His son said, "That's my dad".

And you guys say I don't know any Republicans.

You don't, at least not this one.

"Greenwood later said he had misgivings about becoming involved with partisan politics, claiming no personal party affiliation. “I really wasn’t going as a Republican,” he told the Chicago Tribune’s Tom Popson concerning his appearance with Reagan at a Texas Republican rally. “I was just going to Texas as a guest of the President and I thought that was the best way to get my song out to as many people as possible.” Despite Greenwood’s personal political beliefs, many listeners inevitably identified the singer with the sentiment"
