I'd like to start a thread for people to list their favorite 4th of July/Independence Day songs. I'd like to make a compilation disk for listening to at the lake over the Holiday weekend so I'm looking for some ideas I may not have thought of. I'll prime the pump with a couple.
Born on the 4th of July--Bruce Springsteen
Coming to America--Neil Diamond
Independence Day--Martina McBride

Springsteen does not have a song Born on the Fourth of July, only the one d3500ram postedHe does have a song Independence Day but it is not a reference to July 4th

All of the above bring shivers thru my spine and tears to my eyes.
God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood is another one that does this.
Jimi Hendrix performing the "Star Spangled Banner" is also a favorite of mine.

Good suggestions y'all. I also think of this one when I think of patriotism:

jcapps, Right. I meant Born in the USA. I am also aware of 4th of July, Asbury Park.
Our Country--John Melencamp
In America--Charlie Daniels
Keep em coming folks. These are all good ones to help remember what this country's about this Independence Day.
In America was written back in the late 70's (released in 1980) and was written about a different time but I think it's very relevent today so I'm posting the lyrics for those not familiar with the song. It sure feels like "The Eagle's been flying slow and flag's been flying low" lately but I believe we are going to put her back on the path to righteousness again.
Well the eagle's been flyin' slow
And the flag's been flyin' low
And a lotta people sayin' that America's fixin' to fall
Well speakin' just for me
And some people from Tennessee
We've got a thing or two to tell you all
This lady may have stumbled
But she aint never failed
And if the Russians don't believe that
They can all go straight to hell
We're gonna put her feet back
On the path of righteousness and then
God bless America again
Chorus:
And you never did think
That it ever would happen again
( In America, did you )
You never did think
That we'd ever get together again
( We damn sure could )
Yeah, we're walkng real proud
And we're talkin' real loud again
( In America )
You never did think
That it ever would happen again
From The Sound up in Long Island
Out to San Francisco Bay
And everthing that's in between them
Is our own
And we may have done a little bit
Of fightin' amongst ourselves
But you outside people best leave us alone
'Cause we'll all stick together
And you can take that to the bank
That's the cowboys and the hippies
And the rebels and and the yanks
You just go and lay your hand
On a Pittsburgh Steelers' fan
And I think you're gonna finally understand
Chorus:
And you never did think
That it ever would happen again
( In America, did you )
You never did think
That we'd ever get together again
( We damn sure could )
Yeah, we're walkng real proud
And we're talkin' real loud again
( In America )
You never did think
That it ever would happen again
--- Instrumental ---
Chorus:
And you never did think
That it ever would happen again
( In America, did you )
You never did think
That we'd ever get together again
( We damn sure could )
Yeah, we're walkng real proud
And we're talkin' real loud again
( In America )
You never did think
That it ever would happen again
