1. I'm not sure what your intention is
as if to imply that a lot of southerners are racist?

There are fucking racists everywhere. The south is no exception and given its history there may be more per capita here.

Living in the south, I resent the implication that even a majority of them might be racist. I hope that isn't what you were implying.

2. I did not know that white southern musicians have performed with African-Americans
Thanks for pointing that out.

I also didn't know that anyone thought Conway was a hero.

14. All I know IS I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
and I love me some Conway:loveya:

People see us everywhere.
They think you really care.
But myself, I can't deceive,
I know it's only make believe.

My one and only prayer, is that some day, you'll care.
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know, how much I love you so.
My only prayer will be, some day you'll care for me,
But it's only make believe.

My hopes, my dreams come true, my life, I'd give for you.
My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything.
My heart I can't control; you rule my very soul.
My only prayer will be, some day you'll care for me,
But it's only make believe.

My one and only prayer, is that some day, you'll care.
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know, how much I love you so.
My only prayer will be, some day you'll care for me,
But it's only make believe.
