If A Song Could Be President |
| [00:11.141] |
We'd hum on Election Day |
| [00:15.151] |
The gospel choir would start to sway |
| [00:19.302] |
And we'd all have a part to play |
| [00:23.502] |
The first lady would free her hips |
| [00:27.706] |
Pull a microphone to her lips |
| [00:31.957] |
Break our hearts with Rhythm and Blues |
| [00:36.066] |
Steve Earle would anchor the news |
| [00:40.267] |
We'd vote for a melody |
| [00:44.370] |
Pass it around on an MP3 |
| [00:48.721] |
All our best foreign policy |
| [00:52.875] |
Would be built on harmony |
| [00:57.026] |
If a song could be president |
| [01:01.029] |
We'd fly a jukebox to the moon |
| [01:05.479] |
All our founding fathers' 45's |
| [01:09.582] |
Lightnin' Hopkins and Patsy Cline |
| [01:13.785] |
If a song could be president |
| [01:22.446] |
If a song could be president |
| [01:26.402] |
We could all add another verse |
| [01:30.551] |
Life would teach us to rehearse |
| [01:34.702] |
Till we found a key change |
| [01:39.061] |
Break out of this minor key |
| [01:43.012] |
Half-truths and hypocrisy |
| [01:47.174] |
We wouldn't need an underachiever-in-chief |
| [01:51.445] |
If a song could be president |
| [01:55.896] |
We'd make Neil Young a Senator |
| [01:59.750] |
Even though he came from Canada |
| [02:04.004] |
Emmylou would be Ambassador |
| [02:08.204] |
World leaders would listen to her |
| [02:12.310] |
They would show us |
| [02:13.611] |
where our country went wrong |
| [02:16.511] |
Strum their guitars on the White House lawn |
| [02:20.681] |
John Prine would run the FBI |
| [02:24.883] |
All the criminals would laugh and cry |
| [02:29.136] |
If a song could be president |
