Also “song to sing while being exploited by capitalism (often covered by Pete Seeger)”, “reminder that time all those people died tragically?”, “Patriotic as long as you don’t think about it too long” And “yeah, I killed the sunna bitch, but he had it coming!”
There are some legitimately patriotic old folk tunes, which can be loosely split into "patriotic for the right reasons" and "patriotic for the oh no oh god oh fuck reasons"

>Sign was painted, it said private property;
>But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
>This land was made for you and me.
~Woody Guthrie: This Land is Your Land: The Asch Recordings Volume 1 Track 14
I'm not sure if you're referring to the 1940 original version or the 1944 "original" version.
There are no recordings of the 1940 version as Guthrie had kind of just composed the song then forgot about it for a while, but the 1944 version can be easily found in full including the above lyrics via basic search on Yoogle or GouTube

(I'm sorry if my reply is redundant but I genuinely can't tell which version you're referring to)
Oh don’t worry bout sounding redundant, more info here is always better than less, and I was referring to the 1940 version, I love the “church steeple verse”
in “el paso” he says that felina is “wicked and evil” and “wicked felina” but that he had fallen “in love with a Mexican girl” so idk what the point of that is

Also also "man the fuck up, son"

6. House
No, 6 is clearly 202 notes
Don't forget the best country song: I'm gonna murder my husband
Then “sixteen tons”
casey jonessss
A-went to hell a-flying!
Don’t forget “I knew a guy, he left, and never came back”
Don't forget "here's a story, there's no meaning or anything I just think it's neat"
Ah yes, a fellow Marty Robbins fan
I met a real short man in a bar one time, he shot a feller makin' a foola hisself an' ran off.
in “el paso” he says that felina is “wicked and evil” and “wicked felina” but that he had fallen “in love with a Mexican girl” so idk what the point of that is

These are great and really contrast modern pop country as well as the views of the audience into pop country.
9/11 was the worst thing to ever happen to country music
The Dixie Chicks didn't deserve the treatment they got.
