My Spin

(Just my opinion. Give us yours!)

It's not that I'm unpatriotic or anything, I just haven't gotten around to writing about Elvis' rendition of this patriotic anthem. Give me the liberty and freedom to procastinate a little longer.

"America The Beautiful" Lyrics

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above thy fruited plain

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

Didja have fun?
