[00:06.938]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
