That's awesome - thanks for sharing!

Of course, now I have no choice but to share my own reworking of another country music classic....

with deep apologies to Merle Haggard….

We don’t drink Merlot here in Wasilla
We don’t take our trips to Waikiki
We burn oil, not U.S. flags on Main Street
‘Cause we like living right and being free.

We don’t make a big deal out of hunting
But we like shooting moose and caribou
And if we let our hair grow long and shaggy
It’s just because it’s minus 42…

And I’m proud to be a driller from Wasilla
A place where real women can be found
Where men don’t whine and pout like Brokeback cowboys
And “white powder” still means snow upon the ground.

Leather boots and snowshoes are our basic footwear
Birkenstocks and loafers won’t be seen
New York may have chic boutiques and discos,
But the kids here can fly planes at 17.

Oh, I’m proud to be a driller from Wasilla
A place where real women can be found
Where men don’t wear cologne that smells like a whorehouse
And “white powder” still means snow upon the ground.

In Wasilla: yes, Alaska, U.S.A.!

That is awesome man. Good job. I think I’ll pick up my guitar and see if I can pick it.
