The last stanza was inspired by a line in the song "In America" by Charlie Daniels:
from them sound up in Long Island, out to San Francisco bay, and everything in between it is our home.
And we may have done a little bit of fighting amongst ourselves, but you outside people best leave us alone.
'Cause we'll all stick together, and you can take that to the bank. that's the cowboys and the hippies, and the rebels, and the yanks!
you just go lay your hand on a Pittsburgh Steeler fan and i think gonna finally understand." ~ Charlie Daniels
