Chely, maybe it was your SUV itself, rather than that bumper sticker

Man, the psychic landscape in those distant

Red States is looking a little weirder every day.

"Yeah folks, our simple, cornpone sincerity

is so heartfelt and transparent that we have

to arrange a glass-roots crypto-military

PR campaign to get some market traction."

Lyrics to 'The Bumper of My SUV'

(as posted on anycountrymusiclyrics.com)

I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car Says United States Marines And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me Does she think she knows what I stand for Or the things that I believe Just by looking at a sticker for the US Marines On The Bumper Of My SUV

See, my brother, Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam Did his duty then he got out And my grandpa earned his purple heart On the beach of Normandy That's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines On The Bumper Of My SUV

But that doesn't mean that I want war I'm not Republican or Democrat But I've gone all around this crazy world Just to try and better understand

Yes I do have questions I get to ask them because I'm free That's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines On the Bumper Of My SUV

Cause I've been to Hiroshima And I've been to the DMZ I've walked on the sand in Baghdad Still don't have all of the answers I need But I guess I wanna know where she's been Before she judges and gestures to me Cause she don't like my sticker For the US Marines On the bumper of my SUV

So I hope that lady in her mini-van Turns on her radio and hears this from me As she picks up her kids from their private school And drives home safely on our city streets Or to the building where her church group meets (?!!)

Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines On the bumper of my SUV
