I've Got Your Back

"I will not let them poison the water."
            --Gov. Tom Corbett, Apr. 18, 2011

That was Gov. Corbett in response to a question about Marcellus Shale.  I was so inspired by the Gov. that I wrote a song.  It is entitled "I've Got Your Back," and it is sung to the tune of "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash.  Here it is:

I keep a close watch on Marcellus Shale

I keep the poisons out--I will not fail

I keep a close watch over hill and dale

Because they frack, I’ve got your back.

I find it very very easy to take checks

From all the fracking drillers nicknamed Tex

Yet I will not admit they have effects

Because they frack, I’ve got your back.

As sure as night is dark and day is light

I keep those drillers always in my sight

Their campaign contributions are all right

Because they frack, I’ve got your back.

So you can light a fire in your tap,

And the cost for cleanup has a cap

And I’m a little doggie in their lap

Because they frack, I’ve got your back.

Now what I need is a singer/guitar player.  Rene?  Also the singer should have a black outfit.  We'll film it and put it on YouTube.  If you have ideas, send them along.
