Any time you introduce politics into something that should be about something else — sports, music, acting, fiction, storytelling — you are corrupting your relationship with your audience. — Kyle Becker, columnist, RedState

That’s It lyrics

No lecturesNo grandstandingNo woke-scoldingJust entertainment

Live music is amazingI got peopleI got fansI got friendsFriends from every walk of lifeFriends from every political stripe

We got one thing in commonWe’re all here to see a showI’m not going to lecture peopleNo lecture about anything

I’m going to play songsWe’re all going to leave hereWe’re going to be happierWe’re going to be better for itThat’s it

There is joyThere is happinessThere is sadnessThere is victoryThere is defeatThere is lifeThere is deathThere is grievingThere is healing

I’m going to play songsWe’re all going to leave hereWe’re going to be happierWe’re going to be better for itThat’s it

That’s it

That’s it

That’s it

Celebrate Labor Day week with a song adapted from an article by Ward Clark (Source: https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/09/07/labor-day-is-our-day-heres-why-n2206612).

Labor Day Is Our Day lyrics

Work comes firstA man takes careTakes care of his family firstThen takes care of himself

Anything worth doingIs worth doing wellThere are no lousy jobsJust lousy people

Show up a little earlierEarlier than the other guysWork a little harderHarder than the other guys

If asked to take on a taskAlways say yes, yesNever pass up a chanceTo learn something new

Labor Day is the dayThe day for people who workPeople who produce valuePeople who contribute to our economy

On this Labor DayEnjoy the downtimeGrill some steaksPop open a cold tall can

Labor Day is our dayTake the time todayWork will always be thereBe there tomorrow and beyond

This song is adapted from a speech at the RNC Midterm Convention. It was presented by Mike LiPetri, Republican congressional candidate from New York.

We Are the Party lyrics

I was born and raisedIn a middle class familyAn Italian-American familyLike most of youI don’t come fromA political family

Like all of youI believe our nation raisesRaises the very bestRaises the smartestRaises the strongestAnd we never apologize for it

I believe our future is brightBut only if We The PeopleHave the courage to stand upTo stand up and fight for it

Republicans wantTo prosecute fraudstersDemocrats put their heads in the sandWhile their friends line their pocketsWhile the Democrats choose the DSAWe Republicans choose the USA!

The Republicans areThe party of common senseCommon sense over chaosHard work over handouts

We are the partyThat will always remind the worldThat in this countryThere is only room for one flagRoom for one allegianceRoom for one great American comeback

God bless you!God bless America!

The above song is based on a few quotes from Dolly Parton, singer, songwriter, and actress. God bless this great singer.

For a dream to come true, you gotta put legs and wings and feet and hands and thought into it.

I do the best I can every day, and I’m going to enjoy my life. Some people work at being miserable. I work at being happy.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.

I believe that all good things come from God. And after you believe in Him, you’ve got to believe in yourself. You’ve got to believe that you are special.

A Dream Comes True lyric

For a dream to come trueYou gotta put legsYou gotta put wingsYou gotta put feetYou gotta put handsYou gotta put thought into it

I do the best I canEvery day, every dayI’m going to enjoy my lifeSome people work at being miserableI work at being happy

The way I see itIf you want the rainbowYou have to put up with the rainLet it rainLet it pourLet the sun shine as a bow

I believe that all good thingsAll good things come from GodAfter you believe in HimYou’ve got to believe in yourselfYou’ve got to believe that you are special

For a dream to come trueYou gotta put legsYou gotta put wingsYou gotta put feetYou gotta put handsYou gotta put thought into it

This song is adapted from an article written by Andrea Widburg, If You Love Someone, Tell Them and Be Specific (https://americanthinker.com/blog/2026/08/if-you-love-someone-tell-them-and-be-specific).

Catch People Being Good lyrics

Every day is a good daySome days are better than othersI win in all the ways that countFamily and friendsGood enough healthReasonable material comfortA fulfilling jobI never tire counting my blessings

This I know is trueIt’s incumbent on all of usTo catch those we love being goodAnd tell them that we love them

The happiest people in America:Men who are married andWomen with childrenParenting is toughBut the rewards are unparalleledChildren give life purpose

Here’s my life philosophyCatch people being goodIf they’re close to youTell them you love themTell that to them whenever you canDon’t be shyDo it often

You’re a good personYou are thoughtfulYou are kindYou make my life happierI see youI value what I see

Don’t reach the end of your lifeRegretting the things you did not sayCatch people being goodBecause that makes their world betterAnd that makes your world better

If you love someoneTell them you love themTell them oftenBe specificAnd tell them again

If you love someoneTell them you love themTell them oftenBe specificAnd tell them again

Silly Silly People lyrics

Smarmy little white boysThe mentally weak and sickAccusers and projectionistsConfused about sex and genderIf they are this creepy in publicWhat’s behind the door?

The autopen Joe B.That creepy James T.The buffoonish Ruben G.The incapable Pete B.The abundant J.B. P.The stupid Andy B.

The slicked haired gov N.The red red mayor M.The lefty Josh S.The barbecue Chuck S.The idiot Abdul El-S.The rest of the mess

And don’t forget the ladiesThe word-salad queenThe cruel MaxineThe nasally O-CThe burned-out mayor B.The fraudster Somali

So many losersSo few few thinkersSilly silly peopleVacuous and emptyWell meaning but stupidSilly silly peopleWe bless them allWe pray for them all

So many losersSo few few thinkersSilly silly peopleVacuous and emptyWell meaning but stupidSilly silly peopleWe bless them allWe pray for them all

This country ballad was adapted from an impromptu speech Ronald Reagan gave at the 1976 Republican convention. He describes how he was invited to write a letter to be included in a time capsule to be open 100 years later.

No Substitute lyrics

Suddenly it dawned on meThose who would read this letterA hundred years from nowWill know whether missiles were firedThey will know, they will knowWhether we met our challenge

This is our challengeWill they look backWith appreciation and sayThank God for those peopleWho headed off that loss of freedom?Who kept us nowA hundred years later free?Who kept our world freeFrom nuclear destruction?

We must go forthFrom here united, determinedAnd what a great general saidA few years ago is trueThere is no substitute for victory

Thank God for those peopleWho headed off that loss of freedom?There is no substitute for victoryThere is no substitute for victory
