Raisin' McCain Lyrics
Music and Lyrics By: John Rich
Raisin' McCain
Well we're all just raisin' McCain
Everywhere across the USA
You can get on the train or get out of the way
We're all just raisin' McCain
And we're all just raisin' McCain
Everywhere across the USA
You can get on the train or get out of the way
We're all just raisin' McCain
Well he got shot down in a Vietnam town
Fighting for the red, white and blue
And they locked him up in the Hanoi Hilton
Thinking they could break him in two
He stayed strong, stayed extra long
'Til they let all the other boys out
Now we've got a real man with an American plan
We're going to put him in the big White House
Well we're all just raisin' McCain
Everywhere across the USA
You can get on the train or get out of the way
We're all just raisin' McCain
Play that American guitar, son
And we're all just raisin' McCain
Everywhere across the USA
You can get on the train or get out of the way
We're all just raisin' McCain
I said we're all just raisin' McCain
Everywhere across the USA
You can get on the train or get out of the way
We're all just raisin' McCain
Well you can get on the train or get out of the way
We're all just raisin' McCain

McCain & Palin: The 2008 Republican Team
A Few Facts About the 2008 Election
Courtesy of Wikipedia
Democrat Barack Obama, then-junior United States Senator from Illinois, defeated Republican John McCain, the senior United States Senator from Arizona. Nine states changed allegiance from the 2004 election. Each had voted for the Republican nominee in 2004 and contributed to Obama's sizable Electoral College victory. The selected electors from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia voted for President and Vice President of the United States on December 15, 2008. Those votes were tallied before a joint session of Congress on January 8, 2009. Obama received 365 electoral votes, and McCain 173.
There were several unique aspects of the 2008 election. The election was the first in which an African American was elected President, and the first time a Roman Catholic was elected Vice President (Joe Biden, then-U.S. Senator from Delaware). It was also the first time two sitting senators ran against each other. The 2008 election was the first in 56 years in which neither an incumbent president nor a vice president ran. (Bush was barred from seeking a third term by the Twenty-second Amendment; Dick Cheney chose not to seek the presidency). It was also the first time the Republican Party nominated a woman for Vice President (then-Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin). Voter turnout for the 2008 election was the highest in at least 40 years.
John Rich:
Senator John McCain is a man of extraordinary integrity who I believe has, and will always, put our country first. Writing and recording 'Raisin' McCain' is my contribution to his campaign. It's my hope that this song will unite young conservatives, rally support and excitement for our Republican presidential candidate, and ultimately inspire people to vote.

- When this song was played at the convention I thought it was refreshing that someone wrote something new and original and didn't just borrow an old song.
