A Good Song Reminds Us What We're

I Decline To Discuss, Under Compulsion, Where I Have Sung, And Who Has Sung My Songs, And Who Else Has Sung With Me, And The People I Have Known.

I Live In The Country, So I Get A Fair Amount Of Exercise. We Heat Our House With Wood, So I Split Wood. We Also Live On A Steep Hill, And I Have To Rake And Put In Cross-stitches To Keep The Road From Washing Out When There's A Big Rain.

When Will We Ever Learn? When Will We Ever Learn?

But I Decline To Say Who Has Ever Listened To Them, Who Has Written Them, Or Other People Who Have Sung Them.

I Love My Country Very Dearly, And I Greatly Resent The Implication That Some Of The Places I Have Sung And Some Of The People That I Have Known, And Some Of My Opinions, Whether They Are Religious Or Philosophical, Or I Might Be A Vegetarian, Make Me Any Less Of An American.
