If a song could be president
We'd hum on Election Day
The gospel choir would start to sway
And we'd all have a part to play
The First Lady would free her hips
Pull a microphone to her lips
Break our hearts with rhythm and blues
Steve Earle would anchor the news
We'd vote for a melody
Pass it around on an MP3
All our best foreign policy
Would be built on harmony
If a song could be president
We'd fly a jukebox to the moon
All our founding fathers forty five's
Lightnin' Hopkins and Patsy Cline
If a song could be president
If a song could be president
We could all add another verse
Life would teach us to rehearse
'Til we found a key change
Break out of this minor key
Half truths and hypocrisy
We wouldn't need an underachiever-in-chief
If a song could be president
We'd make Neil Young a Senator
Even though he came from Canada
Emmy Lou would be Ambassador
World leaders would listen to her
They would show us where our country went wrong
Strum their guitars on the White House lawn
John Prine would run the FBI
All the criminals would laugh and cry
If a song could be president
Ooh
Ooh
