Brushfire of Freedom
The Conservative Cowboy
By: Darryl Worley
I heard a song this week, and I was very impressed by the lyrics and the resolve presented by Darryl Worley. I have always liked Darryl’s songs; he is not influenced by the MSM, and simply writes songs about how he feels. I think that music is one of the most powerful forms of expression, and can personify everything about individual life, social norms, and current events. Music can remind us of feelings, events, and emotions, and individual songs can bring us back to any of those feelings of the past, present, and even future in some cases. Well this song provides a perfect example of how many Americans feel right now, and how I have been feeling since the election season started in 2008.
“IF YOU SEE ME HOLD MY HAND OVER MY HEART BEFORE I START THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
THERE'S A REASON, IT'S TO HONOR THOSE WHO DIED
AND IF YOU SEE ME CLOSE MY EYES AND BOW MY HEAD BEFORE I BREAK BREAD WITH MY FAMILY
IT AIN'T A HABIT, IT'S IMPORTANT AND IT'S MY RIGHT
I WORK HALF A YEAR FOR ME THE OTHER HALF FOR UNCLE SAM
WHILE HE'S BAILING OUT THOSE SINKING SHIPS AND DROWNING THE LITTLE MAN
I WATCH THE NEWS AND HAVE TO WONDER IF THIS COUNTRY'S GOING CRAZY
TALKIN' BOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT HERE BUT HOW THEY WANNA REARRANGE IT
I'M JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE AND THAT MAKES ME SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW
THERE'S A BUNCH OF US OUT HERE THAT FEEL THE SAME
GONNA KEEP OUR GOD, OUR FREEDOM, A LITTLE MONEY IN THE BANK
Y'ALL CAN KEEP THE CHANGE
NOW THE FAT CATS ON THE HILL ACTING SO BRILLIANT
AIN'T SMART ENOUGH TO NOTICE THAT WE'RE ANGRY
AND AMERICA'S IN TROUBLE
IF THEY DON'T WISE UP AND STOP
BUSTING OUT THE BLOCKS THAT WERE LAID AS A FOUNDATION
THIS NATION COULD WAKE UP IN A PILE OF RUBBLE
THEY SAY WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS BUT IT'S A BIG 'OL SHAME TO ME
THAT COMMON SENSE AIN'T NEAR AS COMMON AS IT USED TO BE
I WATCH THE NEWS AND HAVE TO WONDER IF THIS COUNTRY'S GOING CRAZY
TALKIN' BOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT HERE BUT HOW THEY WANNA REARRANGE IT
I'M JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE AND THAT MAKES ME SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW
THERE'S A BUNCH OF US OUT HERE THAT FEEL THE SAME
GONNA KEEP OUR GOD, OUR FREEDOM, A LITTLE MONEY IN THE BANK
Y'ALL CAN KEEP THE CHANGE
I'LL BET OUR GRANDPAS ARE GETTING DIZZY
DOWN THERE IN THEIR GRAVES
ROLLING OVER AND OVER, OVER WHAT'S GOING ON THESE DAYS
I WATCH THE NEWS AND HAVE TO WONDER IF THIS COUNTRY'S GOING CRAZY
TALKIN' BOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT HERE BUT HOW THEY WANNA REARRANGE IT
I'M JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOE AND THAT MAKES ME SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW
THERE'S A BUNCH OF US OUT HERE THAT FEEL THE SAME
GONNA KEEP OUR GOD, OUR FREEDOM, A LITTLE MONEY IN THE BANK
Y'ALL CAN KEEP THE CHANGE”
One reason that I am posting this on my blog is that many of the radio stations will not play this song, I know because since I have heard it I have called every station that I knew to request this song be played. I heard the song on FM 99.1 (K99) here in Denver and since then they are the only country station that will play this song, I suppose it is because the song is to “racy” for most of the stations in the area, and I would guess most of the stations in the country. The other reason I posted this song is praise to Darryl Worley, and I implore you to pay the $0.99 to download this song on iTunes or rhapsody or any of the other music site that you use and support Darryl Worley for going against the grain and vocalizing the attitude of the majority of Americans.
