about

I’m not quite sure why I wrote this one, but it seems to do the job, assuming the job is annoying my more right-leaning friends. Terry Carleton recorded it and played drums, percussion, and sang background vox. Dale Hymes on bass and background vox. And did I mention that Jason Loughlin doesn’t know when to quit? His guitar playing really IS the reason for this song.

lyrics

I been meditatin’ on it just to know the Lord
And I’m not sure He’d drive a Ford
Prob’ly not Saturn, Dodge or a Chevy
And a Caddy or a Chrysler would be way too heavy
I believe when he climbs behind the wheel
It’d be in our Father’s Oldsmobile

But He’d buy American
‘Cause He’s on our side

I been ponderin’ on it and I believe I can guess
What the Virgin Mary’d use to clean her dress
Don’t see her headin’ down to Sears
To buy herself a Kenmore and a box of Cheer
I think she’d throw her clothes with pride
Into a Whirlpool with a cup of Tide

But She’d buy American
‘Cause She’s on our side

I been studyin’ on it but I really don’t know
What Jesus’d use to watch HBO
Don’t believe he’d watch no Panasonic
No Toshiba, Samsung, no Trinitronic
His Superbowl party’s gonna be a bust
‘Cause there ain’t no TVs made by us
