This one is... not so much an Obama song, but rather a fandom-that-has-grown-around-Obama song. (Or if there is another word for "fandom" when applies to politics?)
When You Were Young by The Killers
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now ... here he comes!
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live
When you were young
