´´If you´re far away from home tonight, this is for you....(music
starts)....I remember when I was 18.....and I finally....I finally got out of
the house, I was sure I was never gonna go back again.....and I wanted to forget....every
place and every face in that town that I grew up in.... and I wanted to move....far
out aways and forget that I had.....that I had parents or relatives ....and
for a long time.....my folks moved out to California....and for a long time
when I was growing up....I, I always felt a little strange because I never missed
´em and....and it wasn´t until I got to be about 29....that.....you
learn to realise that your family is never gonna go away and if you don´t
learn how to deal with it....it seems in the end you can´t deal with yourself....and
I finally got a chance to....to talk to my folks and talk to my old man about
the things that I wish we could´ve talked about when I was 18 years old....but
you lose something, all those years, they, they take something away, so if you
got a chance, you ought to try and talk to ´em....´cause I´m
sure you got a lot of stuff to say to each other (chuckles) ....´´

was written as answer to ´God Bless America,´ it was....and in the
years (?) it´s been sung, it´s been misinterpreted a lot, quite
a few times....but it´s like an answer to all the....prejudice and hatred
sometimes that runs around under the cloak of patriotism or nationalism....and....it
was written as a fighting song because it´s up to you guys and, and us,
we gotta fight to make this song true.....´´
