[Rhodes22-list] You might be a True American if....

Slim,

You dissin' us Marshall Tucker fans?  Cause if you are, us 'Brother Tuckers'
will set fire to your mountain.  You can take the highway, for a new life,
24 hours at a time, because you're too stubborn to start a new life.  Take
the highway, for a long hard ride, running like the wind after your foolish
dream.  Ride in peace, Silverado, anyway the wind blows rider, going down
the road feeling bad.  As for me, i'll stay in the country where a country
boy belongs, in my own way, where everbody needs somebody.  Foolish
dreaming?

Can't you see? Now I'm singing a good ole hurtin' song.
