Gretchen, Big & Rich, Cowboy Troy, "Our America"

[KMCB]

I am sure some naysayers will point to this as a publicity stunt... but lots of people do this type of thing around holidays. I think it will be cool. It available for a timed out dowload tomorrow OurAmerica2005.com.

Here are the lyrics & the parts. I think the harmony on the Nati'l Anthem will be great...

Our America
(spoken word in black, sung in red)



Wilson: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union

Cowboy Troy: I have a dream, a dream that one day

Rich: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, And they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights,

Big Kenny: That among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

B&R/GW: Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming

Cowboy Troy: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America

B&R/GW: Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

Cowboy Troy: And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God

B&R/GW: And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

Cowboy Troy: Indivisible
B&R/GW: O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

Cowboy Troy: With liberty and justice for all

B&R/GW: O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I'm guessing on BB, debuts 45-50, spends a mere 1 week on the chart :)

Finally heard it last night on the Boston Pops special. It was good, but I was especially impressed with Kenny's voice. He can really sing!

This song should fall sometime tomorrow or later this week. You wouldn't think many stations would keep it in rotation after the holiday, maybe some will..
