Coming from rural America I've had a lot of friends who've been called to go to Iraq and Afghanistan. This is for them.
Hank Waite and the Milkmashers: Honky-tonk heroes.
If "Americana" is just some catchphrase, just about any band could fit the bill. But if it's a true genre, well then, Hank Waite and the Milkmashers define it. Steeped in tradition but always fresh. Honest and, honestly, American. Step up, friend: hear your favorite song again for the first time.

Lyrics
I'm leaving on the red-eye flight from Michigan. Won't be long till I'm touching down overseas, patrolling the sands in a foreign land, sweating bullets in the desert heat. She's saying she can't handle this again. Sitting home alone and worrying about me. Got her momma on the phone as she's packing my clothes Leaving tear stains on my fatigues. Chorus: 'Cause she's so crazy She's so crazy Crazy 'bout me. And I'm going crazy It drives me crazy Her tears are killing me. War is lunacy. She says that she'll still wait for me, but I know that easier said than done. And if she's long gone When I get home I won't blame her none. (Chorus) 'Cause I love her, and I need her I made a promise that I'd never leave her But now I'm going And I don't know if I'll ever see her again.
