Mr. Washington

We are in need of a good leader, one like George Washington, my favorite president.

Mr. Washington I’d like to thank you now
For the life that you lived in the past
Mr. Washington I hope my words get through
You really were ahead of your time
I’d like to thank you for your time

And oh that river ran
So cold that December night
And oh I would have to
From the fear that surrounded me
But lucky for us I wasn’t there
You were there that night

And oh they chose you first
To lead them into the unknown
And oh did you lose sleep
While worrying for future men?
But lucky for us I wasn’t there
You were there that night

And oh eight years went by
You knew you started something great
And oh you could have been a king
But you knew that it was time to go home
And lucky for us I wasn’t there
You were there that night
