<p>No Brad Paisley yet? He’s so funny and clever, but the one I love is the one he wrote on election day, 2008: </p>
<p>Welcome to the Future</p>
<p>When I was 10 years old
I remember thinkin how cool it would be
When we were goin on an 8 hour drive
If I could just watch TV
And I’d have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I’ve got it on my phone.</p>
<p>Hey, glory, glory hallelujah
Welcome to the future</p>
<p>My grandpa was in World War II
Fought against the Japanese
Wrote a hundred letters to my grandma
Mailed 'em from his base in the Phillipines
Well I wish they could see things now
The world they saved has changed you know
Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo.</p>
<p>Hey, hey, glory glory hallelujah
Welcome to the future.</p>
<p>Hey look around it’s all so clear
Hey wherever we were going, well, we’re here
So many things I never thought I’d see
Happening right in front of me.</p>
<p>I had a friend in school
Running back on the football team
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the homecoming queen.
I thought about him today
And everybody who’s seen what he’s seen
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream.</p>
<p>Hey, hey, wake up Martin Luther
Welcome to the future.</p>
