Song for Kenny Chesneys No Shoes Radio by The Michael Character Lyrics
Maybe I’ll write a song that purports to reflect life as we really live it
The Real People, capital P baby!
And all of us are coal miners
Or carpenters
Or in the navy
I’ll paint you a picture of barbeque on the Fourth of July
Unfurl the flag
Let it fly, let it fly
And beer and fishing
And descriptions of women’s dresses in the summer heat
All that real authentic stuff that generates a sense of national identity
So pour another one
We are on the beach
Or, like, maybe on the back porch
We are flipping burgers on some land I have the deed for
We celebrate family, community, and passports
We are xenophobic
But we dress it up like love, so…
(Spoken excerpt)
If you understand I'm playing a character, and you understand that, you know, basically my personality is, like, a scar tissue, like, grown over the wound of myself...
The Real People, capital P baby!
And all of us are coal miners
Or carpenters
Or in the navy
I’ll paint you a picture of barbeque on the Fourth of July
Unfurl the flag
Let it fly, let it fly
And beer and fishing
And descriptions of women’s dresses in the summer heat
All that real authentic stuff that generates a sense of national identity
So pour another one
We are on the beach
Or, like, maybe on the back porch
We are flipping burgers on some land I have the deed for
We celebrate family, community, and passports
We are xenophobic
But we dress it up like love, so…
