"AMERICAN RIDE"

I love Toby Keith. I like most of his songs. I actually love to sing his new song "American Ride". But I will assure you, while singing this song, I am not proud of what "we" have become. It actually makes me sad.


"American Ride"

Winter gettin colder, summer gettin warmer.
Tidal wave comin cross the Mexican border.
Why buy a gallon, when its cheaper by the barrel.
Just dont be busted singin Christmas carols.

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride.
Both ends of the ozone burnin.
Funny how the world keeps turnin.
Look ma, no hands.
I love this American ride.
Gotta love this American ride.

Momma gets her box off watchin Desperate Housewives.
Daddy works his can off payin for the good life.
Kids on the YouTube learnin how to be cool.
Livin in a cruel world, pays to be a mean girl.

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride.
Both ends of the ozone burnin.
Funny how the world keeps turnin.
Look ma, no hands.
I love this American ride.
Gotta love this American ride.

Poor little infamous America's town.
She gained five pounds and lost her crown.
Quick fix plastic surgical antidote.
Got herself a record deal, cant even sing a note.

Platinum gettin bigger, Jesus gettin smaller.
Spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars.
Customs caught a buzz with an aerosol can.
If the shoe dont fit, the fits gonna hit the shan.

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride.
Both ends of the ozone burnin.
Funny how the world keeps turnin.
Hot dog, Hot darn.
I love this American ride.
Gotta love this American ride.

Oh yeah,
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na........... nanannaaa

This is why I put my apron on and pretend like I am my grandma raising her sweet family in the 50s. Heck, except for the plaid pants my mom dressed me in, the 70s weren't so bad actually!

  1. i couldn't agree more....we are sickened about what has happened, SO quickly, to the morals and values in this world....we laugh though when we start talking about it and say "we sound just like our parents did when we were growing up..." - i wish more people were upset by where it appears things are heading...

  2. Score another one for Toby. Love that guy, he is so NOT affraid to speak his mind and tell it like he sees it! We love him around here too...

    And it is so freaking sad what we are coming to and what our society accepts as "normal". Boy is it ever hard to raise kids with morals and values in this society, but that is my strive everyday!

I heart comments! Just one rule that I'm sure your momma taught you...if you don't have anything nice to say...please don't say anything at all!
