The Republic of Texas
Song: Giddy On Up
Artist: Laura Bell Bundy
Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xfFbB2CRo8
Character(s): Tex and any guy stupid enough to screw her over.
Additional Notes?: Is it just me, or does she look like she could be a live action Tex....owo
Excerpt:"Baby where you been, it's half past ten.
Oh, look you're late again.
Busy day, got a lot on your mind?
You should hear about mine.
A tall drink of water and a pretty little thing
Were kissing on the corner in the pouring rain.
Turned my head to get a better view
Oh Lord, help me it was you.
Didn't love me
I ain't no fool
Didn't love me
No, no, no, no.
Love, love you let me down
Making this too easy
Love, Love you let me down
Think you should be leaving
Love, love you let me down
Let me down
No you wont string me along
You better be moving on
Giddy on up
Giddy on out"
Song: Mayberry
Artist: Rascal Flatts

Character(s): Texas, other states looking back at the slower days of America.
Additional Notes?:
Excerpt:"Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning faster
Than it did in the old days
So naturally, we have more natural disasters
From the strain of a fast pace
Sunday was a day of rest
Now, it's one more day for progress
And we can't slow down ‘cause more is best
It's all an endless process
Chorus
(Well) I miss Mayberry
Sitting on the porch drinking ice-cold cherry Coke
Where everything is black and white
Picking on a six string
Where people pass by and you call them by their first name
Watching the clouds roll by
Bye, bye"
Song: Fightin' Side of Me
Artist: Merle Haggard
Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHAFmFsb9XM&feature=related
Character(s): Texas
Additional Notes?: How Tex feels about people talking bad about America and everything he tries to do. Blaming him about everything.
Excerpt:"I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me."
Song: The Yellow Rose of Texas

Character(s): Texas of course!
Additional Notes?: Well this was a Confederate Song. But its also very heritage for Texans. Also, this could be seen as her soldiers who fought in the Civil War, who left.
Excerpt:"There's a yellow rose in Texas, That I am going to see,
Nobody else could miss her, Not half as much as me.
She cried so when I left her It like to broke my heart,
And if I ever find her, We nevermore will part.
She's the sweetest little rosebud That Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, And sing of Rosalee,
But the YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS Is the only girl for me.
When the Rio Grande is flowing, The starry skies are bright,
She walks along the river In the quiet summer night:
I know that she remembers, When we parted long ago,
I promise to return again, And not to leave her so.
She's the sweetest little rosebud That Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, And sing of Rosalee,
But the YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS Is the only girl for me.
Oh now I'm going to find her, For my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the songs together, That we sung so long ago
We'll play the bango gaily, And we'll sing the songs of yore,
And the Yellow Rose of Texas Shall be mine forevermore.
She's the sweetest little rosebud That Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, And sing of Rosalee,
But the YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS Is the only girl for me."
Song: I won't Let Go
Artist: Rascal Flatts
Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW9zMSwKIdU
Character(s): Texas, America
Additional Notes?: Just how Texas will do just about anything to support and help Alfred, showing that she does love him and wants him to be happy, no matter what. btw, this does not mean any romantic feelings on Al's part, its just how she feels about him.
Excerpt:"You think your lost
But your not lost on your own
Your not alone
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
If you can’t cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I wont let go"
Song: How 'Bout Them Cowgirls
Artist: George Strait
Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPFNUjoT7Tc
Character(s): Texas of course!
Additional Notes?: This song fits her perfectly, her attitude and everything.
Excerpt:"
She's tryin' hard
To fit in in some city
But her home is 'neath that big, blue sky
And the Northern Plains and those other wide open spaces
Now days there ain't as many
Boy, she don't need you and she don't need me
She can do just fine on her own two feet
But she wants a man who wants her to be herself
And she'll never change, don't know how to hide
Her stubborn will or her fightin' side
But you treat her right and she'll love you like no one else"
