Takin' My Country Back

The Honky Tonkers for Truth with a <big>great</big> Country song
<big>Takin' My Country Back</big> mp3

Country music's got mammas and daddys,
they got bar rooms and old heartbreak songs,
but I'm here today to stand up and say how I feel about my home sweet home,
what's left, what's right and what's wrong.

'N I'm takin' my country back.
Son, you ain't been doin' her right.
Oh, I been watchin' you and I don't like how you been treatin' my stars and stripes.

You took out our jobs and sent 'em over-seas;
now we owe billions to the red Chinese.

You blew the budget and you bounced Iraq.
So I'm takin' my country back.

We had a bundle in the treasury drawer,
more than there had ever been before,
but every day we're down and deeper in debt.
Maybe four years should be all you get.

Then you gave tax breaks to the millionaires a
nd you tried to make the workin' man pay,
but you can't tax a man when his job's not there.
Now lookit where we are today.

Hey, I'm takin' my country back.
Son, you ain't been doin' her right.
Oh, I been watchin' you
and I don't like how you been treatin' my stars and stripes.

You got too many fancy friends for me.
The Saudis treat you like you're royalty.
You blew the budget and you lost Iraq.
Now I'm takin' my country back.

Now, I can understand why you were hot,
'cause bin Laden never did get caught.
So you said we had Saddam to blame,
tried to tell us it was all the same.

Now the years roll by and our kids keep dyin'.
You don't even have a plan to bring 'em home.
Those WMD, you promised on TV--hey admit it, you figured it wrong.
So, I'm takin' my country back.

Now, you don't know my name,
but you know who I am.
I'm your everyday work hard, play hard,
raise kids and pray hard common man.

And Lord knows I love this land.
So, I'm takin' my country back.

Son, you ain't been doin' her right.
Oh, I been watchin' you and I don't like how you been treatin' my stars and stripes.

You say you're not but you designed this war
to beat each other on the city floor
and we're supposed to be above all that.
So, I'm takin' my country back.

I've got my family and my church and
flag and I'm takin' my country back.
