As I said in a previous blog, most of my songs are not real life. But this tribute song about my Uncle Clarence "Bud" Clark, who served in WWII, is basically true.
On this Veterans Day, we thank all who have served their country. And those who have made sacrifices to provide and secure the freedoms we enjoy today. Heaven forbid we ever take them for granted.
Bud’s Song
Digital Music File
He was born in 1918
Lived three score and eighteen years
I got there just in time to say good bye
But did he hear
And when I said I loved him
Did he know that it was me
Guess I’d just as soon remember
How he used to be
Back when they said why don't he
Take a wife and make a home
And I wonder why he lives
In that great big old house alone
With the ghost of golden memories
Where the bricks have turned to dust
There’s a helmet hanging on the porch
And a gun that’s turned to rust
Relics of the hero who returned in ‘45
Surviving war torn Europe
And the blazing Paris skies
His buddies on the beaches
Of old Normandy had died
I wonder if he ever wished
He’d been there by their side
A thankful family welcomed home
Their soldier boy that day
God answered prayers
And brought him back home to the USA
But I’ve heard say
He soon became the solitary man
There was a girl he would have died for
And her name was Mary Ann
Mary Ann was the girl he left behind
Her pretty face in worst of times
Lay gently on his mind
But the cord of love was broken
Never to be tried again
And you can lay it to the heart of Mary Ann
I wrote a note to leave in his mailbox
To say that I would be at Mamas for the holidays
And if he could stop by
Didn’t know that life and thoughts were draining
Like so many grains of sand
And I wonder if the last one in the glass was Mary Ann |

I can't believe Bin Laden is still on the loose. Following 9-11, we were full of bravado and assurance that he would be easily captured. However, that has obviously not been the case. He has recently taunted America again with his tapes. In these new tapes, he boastfully predicts that Obama will have no more success in capturing him or winning the war in Afghanistan than his predecessor, President Bush.
My song, "Ode From the Cave", is a parody (with lots of truth) on how Bin Laden might have felt when the first American troops landed in Afghanistan. He was probably shaking in his sandals.

You don’t poke your finger in America’s eye
If you don’t want a piece of American pie
Ain’t no cherries it's only the pits
Till you give us Binney we ain’t gonna quit
You’ve done tweaked the nose
Of the gentle sleeping giant
You’ve done pulled the whiskers
Of the sleeping gentle lion
He’s an elongated desert horse rat
With a heart full of hate and a dirty head wrap
He sits in his cave by the candle light
Telling Al Qaida boys, “Go out there and fight"
That American bunch is everywhere
Them sinners are saying we invited them here
Oh, boys I think we might have
Made a mistake Oh, boys
I think we made a big mistake
Chorus:
After all we’ve done to those guys
They’re still undivided stronger and wise
This thing ain’t going according to plan
Nobody doesn’t like that President man
Oh boys I think we made a big mistake
We underestimated the United States
Now the desert’s loud the fritters won’t bake
Can’t sleep when everything quivers and quakes
I wonder what’s happened to our rag tag band
Them Yanks are tearing up the Taliban
It’s dark and dank down here in the cave
Ain’t seen no sun since their judgment day
Oh boysI think we might have made a mistake
We underestimated the United States
Well boys it’s gettin’ mighty smelly down here
I would venture out if I could change my gear
But they'd pick me off like a snow white crow
I’m the long tall most wanted man you know
Oh, boys, I think we made a big mistake
We underestimated the United States
Well, this thing ain’t going according to plan
G. W. Bush is determined to win
After all we’ve done to those guys
We’ve only made them stronger and wise
Oh, boys, I think we made a big mistake
We underestimated the United States
We underestimated the United States”

Like most of you, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on September 11, 2001....watching TV and working out. The horror of that fateful day inspired, "Sudden News" soon there after.
Say what you will about President George W. Bush. But no one can deny that he kept us safe for almost eight years. He realized there is no appeasing terrorists and the other enemies of America. There is no "making nice" or creating sincere dialogue with the breed of human beings that changed America forever on September 11, 2001.
SUDDEN NEWS
Digital Music File
Tuesday 9-11 2001 no one will ever forget
The devils of darkness descending in planes
And the reign of terror they did
We watched disbelieving
Could this really be happening on American soil?!
Out of nowhere they came without any warning
On a mission somewhere out of hell
Chorus:
Sudden News, Sudden News
Has crushed with a blow to our hearts
But America’s stronger than ever before
You never will tear us apart
You’ll never strike fear in the soul of this nation
Beware of our man at the helm
He’ll deal with you soon
But someday you’ll deal
With a Power much greater than him
You don’t understand us
You hate and condemn our democracy
Freedom and friends
You seek to divide destroy
And deny us our way of life you just can’t stand
But you can be sure that our hearts beat as one
When it comes to defending our own
Your master mad man hides
Away hatching plans
Where inconceivably evil seeds grow
Sudden news, Sudden news
Will crush you and grind you to dust
America’s strong her patience is long
But you’ve gone far too far
Now you must pay for your deeds
And your cruel devastation
You’ve caused to this country we love
You’re led by a mad man who hides out in caves
We’re led by a light from above
Sudden news, sudden news
Will crush you and grind you to dust
But if there’s a doubt
That whatever goes ‘round
Will come back again, well it does
You’ll never strike fear in the heart of this nation
Beware of our man at the helm
He’ll deal with you soon
But someday you’ll deal with
A Power much greater than him |

.The lyrics are updated but the music file is yet to be changed

Thunder Rolls
From Wasilla, Alaska like a blazing Northern light
Comes a phenom on a mission with the White House in her sight
We're talking Sarah Palin here who's unafraid and bold
To speak the truth and nowadays that's rare as panning gold
When she burst upon the scene I had my questions
About the pretty former mayor in high heels
This meteoric mama's world is far from faux o drama
Johnny Mac sure had an eye for the real deal
Chorus
She's a warm hearted woman from Alaska
Corruption and injustice leave her cold
This gun totin' mama will make one term of Obama
From the White House they can hear the thunder roll
She's a governor, a mother and a woman all the way
The main stream media will live to rue the day
They set out to destroy her in every way they can
But her numbers keep on ticking up
While going down for their man
They tried to crucify her with their slander
But the truth will always win and heaven knows
There's now fear in liberal land
The storm is coming and they now can
Hear the thunder roll

Without A Song
DIGITAL MUSIC FILE
Just because it's raining I will not stop walking
Because I may have many miles to go
And if I allow a little rain to get me down
Just how much I would miss I'd never know
The sun is never always shining brightly
But behind the clouds I know it's always there
Every day, no matter what may come and go my way
I won't let a little rain make me despair
Chorus:
I can't imagine my world without music
I can't imagine anything more wrong
Except someone who never prays
An empty soul who cannot praise
I imagine that's a soul without a song
Just because it's raining I will not stop singing
It's with a song my heart always takes flight
Gentle breezes, icy winds, light friends may
Come and go, but as long as there's a song I'm alright |
