I've had a lot of frustration trying to mix this, so here's my second attempt after trying some of your suggestions. I hope it came out a little better, if you'd like to give it a listen, please feel free to comment on how I can improve. Thanks for everyone's support and input - Brad.
https://soundcloud.com/user-722422510/american-me-1 American Me - (Re-mix) I fly the red, white and blue out in my front yard.
I like to barbeque and drive a muscle car.
I keep the dust off my bible and the dirt off my gun.
I’m a hard-workin’ man, and I like to have fun.
I love my wife and my family
and livin’ life here in the land of the free.
You can call me old fashioned, but I believe
a little more old fashioned’s what this country needs,
but that’s American me. That’s just American me.
I’m just a simple man, so what the heck
is this stuff they call politically correct?
Instead of vertically challenged or nutritionally enhanced,
why not say, “Dude, it’s just short and fat.”
Yeah, why not say what you really mean?
‘Cause that’s the way that I believe.
Now politicians may not agree,
but more honesty is what this country needs,
but that’s American me. That’s just American me.
I like honest pay for a hard days work,
and then come Sunday to be here in church
where I kneel and pray just the way I believe
because a lot more of God is what this country needs,
but that’s American me. That’s just American me.
And we’ve got the right to speak our mind.
Try to take that away, there’s gonna be a fight.
No false prophet, no guru, so self-deceived saint
would ever be able to take that away
from American me. Not from American me.
And I’m grateful for all those who fought and bled
pursuing our freedom and justice.
And I believe that what this country needs
is more like them, but then, that’s American me.
American me. That’s just American me.
That’s what I believe because that’s American,
that’s American me. That’s just American me.
