The President Song Lyrics


Oh if I were President
I'd make you realize
no more question's no more lies
I'll tell you the truth looking in your eyes
If I were President.Well first and foremost son
Jesus Christ is the only one
you're gonna talk to when your day begins
I'm gonna pass the law that says everyday
you gotta get down on your knees and pray
thank the man for dyin for you sins.If I were president
I'd make you understand
Jesus is the man he's the reason that you stand
If I were president.We're gonna put the word out on the street
no more Washington D.C.,
I'm gonna make this country big and strong
no more payin of your taxes
the capitol's in Fort Worth, Texas;
thats the only place a house that big belongsIf I were president

Nobody's gonna push us around,
Well nobody's gonna laugh when Jason Bolland's my chief of staff
If I were president.Well Iraqi boys you must be nuts
your diggin yourself deeper in a rut
I got a way to end your problems soon
Well we'll bring home every one of our boys
pull out our biggest baddest toys
and blow you crazy bastards to the moon.If I were president,
Nobody's gonna push us around
If they threaten us or put us down
we'll burn their country to the ground,
If I were president.Well talk about you Osama bin Laden
It won't be long till your name's forgotten
America's freedom is always gonna ring
And you know that we wont be satisfied
Till your hatred's dead and your people are fried
Your head's on a stick and your balls in a sling.If I were president
If I were president
Hey one thing you can't deny
your sorry ass is gonna die
If I was presidentWell I got one for you, Saddam Hussein
We'll resurect General John Wayne,
and put together a very simple plan,
we'll put down our 'nukes put down our guns
and you and the Duke'll be 1-on-1
and he'll kick your ass if you were a man.If I were president
If I were president
If you don't like Willie Nelson
you gotta go to prision
If I were president
So cast a vote and make it me
an' if I win the beer's free
If I were president.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The members of Cross Canadian Ragweed -- Grady Cross, Cody Canada, Randy Ragsdale and Jeremy Plato -- have known each other pretty much since kindergarten in the band's hometown of Yukon, Oklahoma. They all wanted to get out, and music seemed like a good escape. When they all had graduated (except for Ragsdale, the youngest member), they started jamming at a party, and Cross Canadian Ragweed was born. Yukon as a rule wasn't a very musician-friendly town, but they had one notable local squarely in their corner: Ragsdale's father Johnny.

"My dad was a guitar player. He played with Bob Wills and a little bit with Reba McEntire when she was first starting out," says Ragsdale. "He really didn't want me to be a drummer but I insisted. I found a set of drums in a neighbor's trash one day and hauled them into the cellar. He kind of figured out after about a year that I was serious and finally got me a new drum set. And when he met Cody, he realized his talent and how seriously we wanted to take music, and he really pushed us. He completely drove us up the wall, but later down the road, we realized he did it for a good reason."

Once the band got its chops they moved to Stillwater, Okla., where acts like Mike McClure's Great Divide and singer-songwriter Jimmy LaFave had established enough of a local scene to earn Stillwater the nickname "North Austin" (or, depending on your perspective, "West Nashville"). Inspired by McClure's self-penned Great Divide songs (and more than a little by early Steve Earle), the band quickly grew out of its Merle Haggard and classic rock covers and began focusing on Canada's uncommonly honest and straight-forward originals. A potent foursome of albums -- 1998's Carney, 1999's Live at the Wormy Dog, 2001's Highway 377 and 2002's Live at Billy Bob's Texas -- collectively sold more 70,000 copies to date. Combined with the band's average of 200 gigs a year, Cross Canadian Ragweed cinched a place at the top of the Texas-Oklahoma music totem pole.

"We're a little more rock 'n' roll than other people [from the Oklahoma/Texas scene], and that's not a bad thing," laughs Canada, whose Southern-fried lead guitar licks betray his love of heroes like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pete Anderson (of Dwight Yoakam fame) and Eddie Van Halen -- not to mention the fact that he's been playing since he was 8 years old.

After building a huge concert following in Texas and Oklahoma, the band decided to look into signing a record deal. In 2003, fledgling label Universal South released a self-titled album (produced by McClure) that the band recorded prior to signing their record deal. They released Soul Gravy in 2004 and Garage in 2005.
