God Bless America ... Again.

This song has been getting a lot of airplay on the radio up here lately. Heard it today in the car returning home from Mass; it's "Right to Life" Sunday once again, coinciding this year with St. Francis of Assisi's feast day ...

So hit the link if you like country oldies, and are yearning for better days in our country.

...
You must know the trouble that she's in.
Wash her pretty face
Dry her eyes, and then ...
God Bless America, Again.



*Sorry I have to add this, but I want to make clear: I don't think the yearning for this feeling is any anti-Obama rag, just a sincere desire that America return to the values that got us here. And it ain't the desire for expensive trappings, and a pretty young thing to boink, if those seem to be the contemporary things valued here.

Not to diss Conway and Loretta (or Bobby Bare who wrote it, I think), but here's an even better version.
