Votin' Blue 02:43
I head out on my tractor in the morning She runs just like those red tail deer do I see those colors like right brand new before me Cause green is a mix of yellow and blue Chorus: I’m votin’ blue True as the sky I’m votin’ blue With a tear in my eye I’ve come around to see That I can be A proud blue-votin’ kind of guy I hit the links at 2:00 with my buddies We crack a cold one at the end of the day I see our cans raised up in front of me Majestic blue mountains and Pabst blue ribbon Chorus: I’m votin’ blue True as the sky I’m votin’ blue With a tear in my eye I’ve come around to see That I can be A proud blue-votin’ kind of guy Red just never was my color With my complexion it never worked Save it for the squirrels and the cardinals I have a duty to this country and that’s a job I’ll never shirk To keep immigrant children cage free To lift people out of poverty by taxing billionaires fairly To help queer folx live with dignity To pass laws on gun safety To let women and their bodies be To eradicate white supremacy To keep the world from heating up two degrees I have this duty to my country To be a proud blue-votin’ A proud blue-votin’ This November I’ll be votin’ Yes a proud blue-votin’ kinda guy

Alizarin 03:41
She was like a sunset Like sailor’s delight I was young when we first met So she played me just right Talked to me about the countryside My family, my farm Never thought that she had nothing to hide Never thought she’d do me harm Chorus: Oh Alizarin they called her She was brave she was strong Alizarin, my darlin’ How come you did me so wrong I let you into my life But you never really loved me at all I fell in love with Alizarin And Alizarin broke my heart She promised me safety She promised me faith When she couldn’t give me either She couldn’t look me in the face My dear I’m disappointed My dear I’m surprised My Alizarin you’re not who I thought Now I’m seeing with fresh eyes Chorus: Oh Alizarin I called her She was brave she was strong Alizarin, my darlin’ How come you did me so wrong I let you into my life But you never really let down your walls I fell in love with Alizarin And Alizarin broke my heart I’m fallin’ out of your spell I’m starting to see All the promises you did tell You never really cared about me I see now you weren’t good for My farm or my land My new love treats me nicely We walk hand in hand My new girl’s truth and kindness Eyes like waves on the shore She loves me completely I’m blue about Alizarin no more

Fatherland 03:10
Well 1965 was the year All women got the right to vote Now it’s 2020 here And what’ve we got to show With the country’s presidents The patriarchs prevail Out of the white house residents All forty-five are male Chorus: Don’t worry mama I’m still keepin’ my faith Through all this drama And sexism showin its face Someday mama I’ll getcha a house Its shutters painted white Little bit nicer than what you got now And it’s about damn time Don’t worry mama I’ll keep fightin true Until someday mama Our president looks like you Super Tuesday got me feelin down The democrats are warrin’ Looks like another man comin’ around But I’m still thinkin bout Liz Warren I’m tired of this father’s land Even a good one like Obama We keep searchin for another dad When this country needs a Mamola Chorus: Don’t worry mama I’m still keepin’ my faith Through all this drama And sexism showin its face Someday mama I’ll getcha a house Its shutters painted white Little bit nicer than what you got now And it’s about damn time Don’t worry mama I’ll keep fightin true Until someday mama Our president looks like you I’m worried mama I won’t live to see A woman like you Leading this country This fight is draining I’ll only sleep tonight Knowing someday mama We will win this fight Knowing someday mama By our motherland we’ll do right
