3 Doors Down.
Here’s a lyrical sample, and they rock the song
Beyond the boundaries of your city’s lights,
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself,
When that moment finally comes,
I’ll be there to help.
On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I’ll be right here.
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We’ll always be ready because we will always be there.
When there are people crying in the streets,
When they’re starving for a meal to eat,
When they simply need a place to make their beds,
Right here underneath my wing,
You can rest your head.
On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I’ll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.

Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We’ll always be ready because we will always be there...
There... there... there...
Hope and pray that you’ll never need me,
But rest assured I will not let you down.
I’ll walk beside you but you may not see me,
The strongest among you may not wear a crown.
On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I’ll be right here!
On that day when you don’t have the strength for the burden you bear,
I’ll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
(Citizen soldiers)
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We’ll always be ready because we will always be there.
The truth? Because everyone under the age of 65 would have run screaming from Jerry’s House. I could last maybe 30 seconds of geriatric country.
Country music in general is a bad bet. And by that I mean marketing suggests that more people have negative reactions to country music and country singers than any other genre including rap. I know that it holds true for most everyone I know. Check out some social networking sites and see just how many people put “Anything but country” under music. You’ll be surprised.
I might not be as surprised as you imagine but I do consider it evidence of the devolution of the country. Anyone who prefers gangster rap to honky tonk music definitely needs psychiatric help;>)
ok
Good song , good group.
Here’s my comments, and these with a dollar will get you a cup of coffee.
The singing of the National Anthem is a show of respect to our country. Flub it and it’s disrespect, simple as that.
The best thing about the halftime show was Slash. Fergie’s version of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” was horrendous. I’m sure even Slash went off stage shaking his head. Slash, by the way is not a liberal, he supported W twice. The thing about Fergie is I have the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert on Blu Ray, and her and Mick’s version of “Gimme Shelter” absolutely will give you goosebumps.
As for the rest of the Black Eyed Peas, the work they did with Sergio Mendez was acceptable, other than that, background music at best.
What I miss are the great Black Bands. Somebody get Earth Wind, & Fire for next year!
Here is a decent hard rock song featuring both Slash and Fergie.

So you think the United State was better when Slavery was legal?
What a Looser.
Lyrics like Citizen soldiers have me a little suspicious. They could be a metaphor for the 'OBAMA Army' making sure that the rest of us do what is expected.
Just because I might be paranoid, it doesn't mean someone is not out to get me!!!
WTF? It's the about the National Guard. Dude, you have some serious issues.
