Lyrics
Election Year
words & music by Dennis Coats
Five String Music / BMI
It's election year and what I fear
is that same old brand of blue ribbon beer
a whole lot of words and wash it on down
with a whole lot of flag wavin',
just between you and me
there are some things I'd like to see
start with present company
some attitude changin'.
(chorus)
I'll vote for, peace and harmony
a whole lot of love between you and me
please pass the bread to the other end of the table
I'll vote for, growin' a lot more food
sewin' lots more good
plant that seed of love while we're still able.
It's election year and all I hear
is guns and bombs and my career
is changin from my cowboy clothes
to sand colored camo's,
Hey, just before your thinkin' war
lets feed and educate the poor
cool our jets, pay our debts
and celebrate livin'.
