If A Song Could Be President |
| If a song could be president |
| We’d hum on Election Day |
| The gospel choir would start to sway |
| And we’d all have a part to play |
| The first lady would free her hips |
| Pull a microphone to her lips |
| Break our hearts with Rhythm and Blues |
| Steve Earle would anchor the news |
| We’d vote for a melody |
| Pass it around on an MP3 |
| All our best foreign policy |
| Would be built on harmony |
| If a song could be president |
| We’d fly a jukebox to the moon |
| All our founding fathers' 45's |
| Lightnin' Hopkins and Patsy Cline |
| If a song could be president |
| If a song could be president |
| We could all add another verse |
| Life would teach us to rehearse |
| Till we found a key change |
| Break out of this minor key |
| Half-truths and hypocrisy |
| We wouldn’t need an underachiever-in-chief |
| If a song could be president |
| We’d make Neil Young a Senator |
| Even though he came from Canada |
| Emmylou would be Ambassador |
| World leaders would listen to her |
| They would show us where our country went wrong |
| Strum their guitars on the White House lawn |
| John Prine would run the FBI |
| All the criminals would laugh and cry |
| If a song could be president |
