Virginia – Singing for Votes! | Tristan Shields

Virginia – Singing for Votes!


Your 1st chance to be heard is this Tuesday, June 13th. Please vote in the Primary.  I’m not on the ballot because I won the nomination in the caucus. But — you can help us WIN on November 7th and turn #18 BLUE by donating to the campaign now.

People frequently ask what my strategy is, where the votes will come from. The truth is we need votes from ALL areas of District 18 to beat Webert and the Republicans.  One of the biggest hurdles we must overcome is teaching people that they can vote THIS YEAR in Virginia.  So I took a song from one of my favorite rock stars, Johnny Cash, and wrote new lyrics for District 18. If I missed your town, send me an email.

I’ve Been Everywhere In District 18

I’ve been making my way, around the 18th District lines
Talking to people, you know it’s almost Election time
Driving down the road on route 229
I ask girlfriend in which town I should be focusing my mind
She said, “aw Honey don’t you understand?”
Tristan you’re Democrat, you need every vote in this here land

I’ll go everywhere man
I’ll go everywhere man
From Skyline down to Midland
Culpeper to up to Delapane
Woo the 18th’s Gerrymanned
I’ll go everywhere

I been to
Warrenton
Bealton,
Arlie, Opal, Rectortown
Upperville is such a thrill
The horses jumping chasing hounds
Doulas in Zulla, I got some folk in Atoka
Yeah you can drive up to Paris, go to The Plains for a mocha
Markham, Marshall, Hume, Ada and Orlean
New Baltimore, Old Tavern see what I mean

I’ll go everywhere man
I’ll go everywhere man
From Skyline down to Midland
Culpeper to up to Delapane
Woo the 18th’s Gerrymanned
I’ll go everywhere

I been to
Front Royal
Linden
Apple Mountain Lake
All of Warren County do the
Shenandoah shake
Down in Culpeper
Been to Elkwood, Rixeyville,
South Wales, Kelly’s Ford,
Waterloo, how do you do?
Catalpa up to Jeffersonton
All around the District we’ve been having some fun

I’ll go everywhere man
I’ll go everywhere man
From Skyline down to Midland
Culpeper to up to Delapane
Woo the 18th’s Gerrymanned
I’ll go everywhere

I been to
Sperryville, Fletcher’s Mill, Flint Hill, Woodville, Rock Mills, Round Hill, Slate Mills, Amisville
Messed around in Viewtown, babbled in Scrabble, did some washing in Washington, broke the tap up in Chester Gap

Huntly, Massanova no it don’t get better
Than riding on a raft down the Rappahannock River

I’ll go everywhere man
I’ll go everywhere man
From Skyline down to Midland
Culpeper to up to Delapane
Woo the 18th’s Gerrymanned
I’ll go everywhere
I’ll go everywhere
I’ll go everywhere
