Wow great song! Makes me want to cry. I'm getting a little older now and my heart breaks for where our country is going.
I remember when that song came out, right after the Carter era. (Dad was a big Merle fan). I remember thinking then that my generation was off course and it is getting worse.
Outstanding. "Okie From Muskogee" is so awesomely American it makes me wanna lie and tell people I'm from Oklahoma.

I'll never swim Kern River again.
