Dedicated to the memory of those who died on 9/11
Southern Rock-No Aftershock........kinda like Clint Black meets AC/DC. Original tunes on our album, Rock and Roll, Dance and Party Music with some Country thro
"The Next of Kin"
Southern Rock......No Aftershock
Story behind the song
The song was written after I witnessed the horrible destruction and pain and suffering that the American people had to endure after the senseless attacks on the greatest country in the world, the USA. I saw families re-living their lives, family members, friends and co-workers through photo albums, pictures, momentos, letters, anything to remember the person, and it touched my heart and made me reflect on my own life. I realized how much my family and friends meant to me and I too relived my own life. I also realized that it made our country stronger and through the attacks our country is now more united and greater than ever.
Lyrics
(Ahhhhh) (Ahhhhh) (Ahhhhhhhhh)
Looking through a photo album just yesterday
Bringing back sweet memories
Livin'in the past through my minds eye pleases me
Cowboy boots and a ten gallon hat
John Unitas, The Beatles,and Yankees
These were just a few of my favorite things
Back in 1963
Thank God I never saw the hell of Vietnam
That was something that I couldn't understand
And why somebody killed JFK
And Martin Luther King the same way..........
(Ahhhhh) (Ahhhhh) (Ahhhhhhhhh)
Class reunions came and went
And so did my friends
Doc and Dale, Deborah G., Mary Kay
Mom and Dad, Carl and now both of my Aunts...
Passed away
Travolta came,Disco sucked and Karen was born
1982 we moved away
ZZ Top, Mindy's born, I'm still in love
With my God today
I've lived to see the dawning of a new century
Living with my family down in Tennessee
I saw the fire in the sky on 9/11
And the devistation that was done........
Ahhhhhhh just yesterday.......
Ahhhhhhh just yesterday.......
Blessed are the meek
They shall inheriet the earth
Those lives we lost were not in vain
But still it hurts
And from those ashes liberated spirits will rise
The Stars and Stripes will never die
