Christmas not Xmas The Korans not read here in the southland The way the bibles not read in the sand One nation under God’s meaning is clear And it’s Christmas not Xmas round here
Taking Christ from the heart of your children I wonder if taking a child’s choice is a sin Indivisible, with liberty and justice is clear And it’s Christmas not Xmas round here
A constitution in stone might weather But it won’t break if we all work together E pluribus Unum’s meaning remains clear And it’s Christmas not Xmas round here
Silence is golden, but don’t let it deceive you Stand and shout if you believe this is true Rise up and give a rebel yell loud and clear That it’s Christmas not Xmas round here
Truths held to be self-evident are threatened And those that claim to lead us aren’t gettin’ it All Americans are born rebels and that’s clear And it’s Christmas not Xmas round here ©2007 Jody Willman

Well thank ya'll, Teri, hope your mom likes it and more power to her thoughts! Susan you da girl! Missy, only a fool takes CHRIST out of anything! Tony, I do MOST of my thinking while I'm fishing, glad you like it my friend! Stan my brother, you just take your time on that record, and it's not MY song it s OUR song, the music for "Peace pipe" makes the song, not my lyrics. That's the first time I've written lyrics for an exsisting track. I really liked doing it that way, they just came out fittin'! Hell I had them written before we were out of Tennessee on the drive home. I don't think I've posted them here, would you mind if I did? Or would you rather wait? If I can help with the CD let me know bro.
Jody

Thanks Miss Tina, glad you like it. It's actually pretty simple... If EVERYONE wanted peace...There would be peace. And if God was still as important to this nation as He was to the founding fathers, then I do believe things would be a tad different now. Preachers that steal, worship the $ and party like sinners don't help either "They passed the plate, and they looked at me, and it turned out that I ain't got a dime. Hey I just come in here to talk to God. Hope I'm not wasting anybodys time" "Judy" Doctor Hook 1975 or so
