Never forget

07/03/2008 10:52 AM

This is from 1980, Charlie Daniels.

I think he perhaps saw in to the future on this one,

Happy 4th of JULY

Well the eagle's been flying slow and the flag's been flying low

And a lot of people are saying that America's fixing to fall
But speaking just for me and some people from Tennessee
We got a thing or two to tell you all
This lady may have stumbled but she ain't never fell
And if the Russians don't believe that they can all go straight to hell
We're gonna put her feet back on the path of righteousness
And then God bless America again

And you never did think that it ever would happen again
In America, did you?
You never did think that we'd ever get together again
Well we damn sure fooled you
We're walking real proud and we're talking real loud again in America
You never did think that it ever would happen again

From the sound up in Long Island out to San Francisco Bay
And ev'ry thing that's in between them is our home
And we may have done a little bit of fighting amongst ourselves
But you outside people best leave us alone
Cause we'll all stick together and you can take that to the bank
That's the cowboys and the hippies and the rebels and the yanks
You just go and lay your head on a Pittsburgh Steeler fan
And I think you're gonna finally understand

And you never did think that it ever would happen again
In America, did you?
You never did think that we'd ever get together again
Well we damn sure fooled you
We're walking real proud and we're talking real loud again in America
You never did think that it ever would happen again

Ummmm...

Right.

Aside from that not seemingly relating to Engineering...have you actually looked outside since 1980? Because - and I'm just saying here - it's kind of not so much like that right now.

You do know us Steeler fans have gotten civilized, don't ya? We now drink our shots and beers with pinkie fingers extended.
