I had no idea these lines existed. Guthrie was really proud of America and no doubt brought up believing in God. I tell you what I certainly relate to his original wording God blessed America for me because that's how I feel often about this nation, but I know God blessed America for us all, even those who hate her.

I think he's been married more than forty years. Have you ever watched the Alice's Restaurant movie? Arlo's commentary on it is hilarious in spots. He was this goofy dude with long dark hair when he was young, and now he's a goofy dude with long gray hair. I call him goofy, but I think it's that he's a mellow, relaxed guy who loves his family and friends and has made the most of what God gave him.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-79805109424396735772015-11-17T22:41:47.160-05:002015-11-17T22:41:47.160-05:00It's such a wonderfully accessible song.
