Song Description

We All love Willie Nelson and We All love American Farmers. When you combine the two you get "Farm Aid" which has raised awareness & funds for so many Family Farms. I wrote "Salute to Farm Aid" to Thank Willie Nelson, Farm Aid, The staff, volunteers and so many talented Artists, Musicians & Entertainers that participate in Farm Aid Concerts every year!

Lyrics

SALUTE TO FARM AID ROGER BRANTLEY (1)


THANK GOD FOR FOR FARM AID...PEOPLE WHO GIVE A DAMN-BOUT THE AMERICAN FARMER, THEIR FAMILY AND THEIR LAND.
THANK GOD FOR FARM AID, WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO. THAT'S WHY I'M THANKING THEM AND SO SHOULD YOU.

VERSE
IN 1985 AMERICAN FARMERS WERE IN A BIND, NEEDING A HELPING HAND, SAVING THEIR HOME, EQUIPMENT AND THEIR LAND
WHEN WILLIE NELSON AND THE GANG JOINED IN. USING THEIR TALENT AND THEIR TIME WITHOUT MAKING A DIME. TO RAISE THE MONEY FOR OUR GREAT FARMERS OF THIS LAND.

CHORUS
SO HERES TO FARM AID, PEOPLE WHO GIVE A DAMN-BOUT THE AMERICAN FARMER, THEIR FAMILY AND THEIR LAND.
THANK GOD FOR FARM AID, WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO.
THAT'S WHY I'M THANKING THEM AND SO SHOULD YOU.

VERSE
PEOPLE WEAR CLOTHES AND MOST OF US LIKE TO EAT BUT WHEN THE FLOOD COMES IN OR CROPS GET BURNED UP BY THE HEAT. WE OUGHT TO HELP THE ONES WHO GROW THE WHEAT. WHERE DO THEY GO? WHO DO THEY SEE? THE WORKERS OF FARM AID.

FARM AID IS STILL HERE CAUSE YOU AND I REALLY CARE

AMERICA'S SAFER,A HEALTHIER PLACE TO BE

CHORUS
HERE'S TO OUR FRIENDS AT FARM AID, HERE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE. SELFLESS PEOPLE LIKE YOU KEEP AMERICA GROWING STRONG. THANKS TO YOU, FAMILY FARMERS CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON. . .

CHORUS
SO HERES TO FARM AID, PEOPLE WHO GIVE A DAMN-BOUT THE AMERICAN FARMER, THEIR FAMILY AND THEIR LAND.
THANK GOD FOR FARM AID, WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO.
THATS WHY IM THANKING THEM AND SO SHOULD YOU.

THATS WHY IM THANKING THEM AND SO SHOULD YOU!
