Why I Love Her
By: John Wayne
You ask me Why I Love her? Well, Give me time, and I'll explain..
Have you ever seen a Kansas sunset or an Arizona Rain?
Have you drifted on a bayou down Louisiana way?
Have you watched the cold fog drifting over San Francisco Bay?
Have you heard a Bobwhite callin in the Carolina pines?
Or heard the bellow of a diesel in the Appalachian Mines?
Does the call of Niagara thrill you when you hear her waters roar
Do you look with awe and wonder at a Massachusetts Shore?
Where men who Braved a hard new world, first stepped on Plymouth's Rock?
And do you think of them when you stroll along New York city dock?
Have you seen a snowflake drifting in the Rockies....way up high?
Have you seen the sun come blazing down from a bright Nevada sky?
Do you hail to the Columbia as she rushes to sea....
Or bow your head at Gettysburg...in our struggle to be free?
Have you seen the Mighty Tetons?....Have you watched an Eagle soar?
Have you seen the Mississippi roll along Missouri's shore?
Have you felt a chill at Michigan, when on a winter's day?
Her waters rage alongthe shore in thunderous display?
Does the words "Aloha"....make you warm? Do you stare in disbelife....
When you see the surf come roaring in at Waimea Reef?
From Alaska's to the Everglades....From the Rio Grande to Maine....
My heart cries out.... my pulse runs fast, at the might of her domain.
You ask me Why I Love Her?....I have a million reasons why.
My beautiful America......beneath God's wide,wide sky.
"And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shinning sea"
