Why I'm a fan of Toby Keith
I was browsing online last night and heard that a song off his newest CD, "White Trash With Money" was, to quote Wikipedia, "...railing against abortion, violence against children, and the curbs on prayer in American public schools."
So I listened to it on Napster, and believe me, that description doesn't do this beautiful ballad justice. If you have iTunes or Napster, I would definitely recommend looking it up. I know just reading the lyrics isn't the same, but here they are,
There Ain't No Right Way,
Toby Keith
7 in the morning, she has to make a choice,
Precious baby girl, or bouncing baby boy,
She could either keep it, Or give that child away
So she quit school that morning,
And became a mom that day
(chorus)
Ain’t no right way, To do the wrong thing, You can justify,
But it’s still black and white,
Paint it any shade, But it won’t change
Ain’t no right way, To do the wrong thing
News came on my TV, A mother cried and said,
That her son was fighting for his life
Cause her husband lost his head,
Might have been a problem child, But if that boy were mine,
I wouldn’t beat him half to death, Trying to make him walk the line
Ain’t no right way, To do the wrong thing, You can justify,
But it’s still black and white,
Paint it any shade, But it won’t change
Ain’t no right way, To do the wrong thing
Now empowered politicians, Trying to pass a law,
They won’t let our children pray
For the better of us all,
If God blessed America, Then how could someone vote,
To take prayer from our classrooms, Right when we need prayer the most
Ain’t no right way, To do the wrong thing, You can justify, But it’s still black and white,
Paint it any shade, But it won’t change Ain’t no right way, To do the wrong thing
