25 March 2007, Another Sunday ends another week here in Afghanistan. We had a good day today. Ron Simpson over at The Cluttered Eclectic Mind tagged me with the 7 songs I'm into meme. This would have been easier for just picking artists, but here we go.

I Cross My Heart - George Strait
This is a song that brings me closer to Mrs. Dub, I have several that make me think of the time we have had and will have when I'm home again.

You Do Your Thing - Montgomery Gentry
Just the first of a list of songs that get my patriotic blood pumping through my veins.

"I ain't tradin' in my family's safety

Just to save a little gas

And I'll pray to God any place, any time

And you can bet I'll pick up the phone if Uncle Sam calls me up

You do your thing, I'll do mine"

Beer For My Horses - Toby Keith

Just stepping up to the plate to answer the call and serve up justice to those doing wrong.

American By God's Amazing Grace - Luke Stricklin

"For the last twelve months I've had a new address, the neighborhood smells like sewerage and the streets are lined with trash. You never know what's gonna be the next thing to explode but unlike these people, I have another home. It breaks my heart to see these kids out on the streets walking barefoot through the trash, diggin' for something to eat. I give them what I got, just to let them know I care and I thank God it's not my son that's standing there"

This Cowboy's Hat - Chris LeDoux

You can say what you want but when you try to take something away from me, you might get more than what you bargained for, Chris speaks of an old hat that each symbol on it has meaning in his life about someone in his life. Respect it or leave it alone. (hmmm, I like that slogan)

Not Me - Keni Thomas

Pride, Honor, Integrity, these aren't just words to a soldier, they are a way of life...

"A young captain at attention, a star pin on his chest, He recalls the battle while the final roll call's read. They were the finest soldiers it was my privilege to lead, They deserve the medals the men who died, not me Not me, not me, I just did what i was called to do, you'd do the same if it was you, Not me, not me. The world becomes a better place when someone stands and leads the way, steps forward when they'd rather say not me"

Fightin' Words - Trace Adkins

So one slip of the tongue 'bout my dog

Or my woman

Or this country that I proudly serve

You'll see a side of me man

That you damn sure don't wanna

Cause them there's fightin' words

Excuse me

First amendment?

Son, the first amendment protects you from the government

Not from me

You can say whatever you want to out there

You come within reach of me

I'll exercise my right to give you a good ol' country ass whoopin'

Is what I'll do for you

By God

These are my songs, these are my views. Be safe and have a great day.
