"Sam Houston made us free; Sam Colt made us equal"

[Charles Doyle]

A structural parallel occurred to me, which is not highly germane, except that I'm going crazy trying to remember its source: namely, a country-and-western song that was popular maybe 20 years ago (Google yields NOTHING!):

George Jones makes me remember,
Jack Daniels helps me forget.

Help?!

--Charlie
