Lee Greenwood even did a rewrite of "God Bless the USA" for the Canadian country radio market: "God Bless You Canada". I'm not kidding. I saw him do it on TV once. YEEECCCCHHHH!!!!!!It did not catch on, which makes me want to stand up and salute!
Kind of shows how shallow and generic and commercial the original is. Remember P & L Berryman's "Your State's Name Here"?
Loretta Lynn, though, is a different story. I can understand why her American fans get all choked up when she sings about America--cause she puts real heart and honesty into her music. (And she IS a coal miner's daughter.)
