Here's the full lyrics, from Mr.Daniels' website... :)

"The Last Fallen Hero"

Oh the cowards came by morning and attacked without a warning
Leaving flames and death and chaos in our streets
In the middle of this fiery hell brave heroes fell

In the skies of Pennsylvania on a plane bound for destruction
With the devil and his angels at the wheel
They never reached their target on the ground
Brave heroes brought it down

Chorus:
This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause
I will do what my country asks of me
Make any sacrifice
We'll pay whatever price
So the children of tomorrow can be free
Lead on red, white and blue
And we will follow you until we win the final victory
God help us do our best we will not slack or rest
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace

Now the winds of war are blowing and there's no way of knowing
Where this bloody path we're traveling will lead
We must follow till the end
Or face it all again

And make no mistake about it, write it, preach it, talk it, shout it
Across the mountains and the deserts and the seas
The blood of innocence and shame
Will not be shed in vain

Chorus:
This is a righteous cause so without doubt or pause
I will do what my country asks of me
Make any sacrifice
We'll pay whatever price
So the children of tomorrow can be free
Lead on red, white and blue
And we will follow you until we win the final victory
God help us do our best we will not slack or rest
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace

God help us do our best we will not slack nor rest
Till the last fallen hero rests in peace

*gag*

Well, yeah, it's crap, but not terribly offensive (except to talented songwriters, of course). I wouldn't have allowed him to play it, either, if I were in charge of the program. But that's only because I wouldn't have invited a neo-nazi redneck like Charlie Daniels in the first place. :)

Here's an excerpt from another one of this "great songwriter and performer"'s classics, "This Ain't No Rag It's A Flag:"

This ain't no rag it's a flag
And we don't wear it on our heads
It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live
Are you listening to what I said
You're a coward and a fool
And you broke all of the rules
And you wounded our American pride

And now we're coming with a gun
And we know you're gonna run
But you can't find no place to hide
We're gonna hunt you down like a mad dog hound
Make you pay for the live you stole
We're all through talking and a messing around
And now it's time to rock and roll
(...yee-haw, more of the same...)

Ah, yes. "Ragheads." Not as classic as "dune-coon" or "sand-nigger," but still a fine slur for a shaggy-ass tub of racist crap like Mr.Daniels. C'mon, Jed. Do you really think this washed-up extra from "Deliverance" has talent? Remember, "millions of people" also enjoy things like paedophilia, pineapple pizza, and classical music. That doesn't make those things "good," Jed.
