      @@mickthealcoholicbear8311 They actually don't pledge their allegiance under God, according to the lyrics...
      The "original" Pledge of Allegiance did not include the phrase "under God." That was added in 1954...mostly due to political preaching from a foreign evangelist (Rev. George Docherty) who had never even heard it before his son told him about it.
      The ORIGINAL Pledge of Allegiance was: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
      "my Flag" was changed to "the Flag of the United States of America" in 1923.
      So, to pledge your allegiance the ORIGINAL way, in the United States, means to leave religion out of it. You can be loyal to a country without believing in any specific deity or religion.

      @@llxlxllxlxll your opinion is valid. Though, I don't have to be from the south to empathize and relate with this song. I grew up hunting and fishing because my father, who's not from this country, taught me that our food comes from somewhere other than the grocery store. He raised a woman that can shoot and hunt if she needed to. More importantly, he taught me to respect others, even if their opinion differs from mine. He worked hard for what he has, just like the lyrics in the song. It ain't that hard to relate to people....if you actually tried.

    For some reason this reminded me of my grandpa. He passed away when i was about 15, and im 37 now. I remember he always just so happened to be shooting targets when we got off the school bus (we had to walk up a pretty long dirt road to get home). Later on, my grandma told me and my brother that he would sit out on the porch waiting to hear the bus, and he would go out there and start shooting when he heard it stop at our road, just so me and my brother would walk over there and spend time with him. And we would always go down there and mow their grass and rake their leaves, the he would tell us to hang on while he went inside to get some money for us from my grandma. We would always wait until he went inside then we would run home because we didnt want to take their money. Man i miss those days....

    I remember watching these guys at the hunt county fair in front of crowds of like 30-100 people out in Greenville, Texas in East Texas only a few hours away from Palestine. They have always been down to earth southern country boys. I remember them throwing guitar picks out to the crowd. I miss it. I’m very happy that these guys caught a break, they’re really good and DESERVE this. I can’t wait to buy VIP tickets one day to meet them in person again for a few minutes and congratulate them. Might see if I could get them to sign a T Shirt this time so I can frame it. Or sign my guitar. Great job y’all!
    And please, show everyone what every song needs,
    More cowbell!

    Folks who ain't from the South will never understand that feeling of the blood that calls you back to where you come from. And you can't explain it but what ever color you might be don't matter. The blood that runs through our southern veins is different. it ain't red it's pride and joy and love and respect.

      Yep, Iowa farm boy hear. My family has been here since they stepped off the boat back in the early 1800s. We lost the farm that our family lived on since the 1890s when the interstate highway came through and forced us out back in the early 1990s. Our roots ran deep there and I don't think anyone in the family has really gotten over losing the old place.
      While I have nothing against our fellow countryman from south of the Mason-Dixon, it sometimes gets a little annoying how they seem to think they're the only ones with pride in where they come from. It's not so much a southern thing as it is a country- rural thing.

    This band is a refreshing breakthrough on so many levels. A southern rock spirit that can not be passed off as revivalist of a genre, but rather a more intimate and current state of southern influences, ie: Wal mart, Dollar General, Baptism, Mud Bogging , Bar Hopping, and Friday Night Football, etc., The Irony of it is for so many decades the dominant market radio stations of these regions locked out all original and local bands to guarantee a solid commercial market through the advertising sales of a Classic Rock format. So now when a fresh and truly original southern rock band tries to get recognised for thier natural talents, playing at the local live band venue will get them little more than a few CD sales, and great memories, and a good time for those who don't get too drunk to remember it. These guy's Rock!!! Call your local Radio station and demand they play it.# I Want My Whiskey Myers!

In a lot of cases the station is gone now and its just a rack of equipment at a transmitter tower in a cow pasture. Is what I do for a living.

    I really love this song. Stumbled upon it while cruising You Tube and I am totally blown away by it. I am not from the South, I am not even an American. Being from The Netherlands I still relate to this song. I think because of what they sing about are such universal feelings. We have our traditions and roots too. I think every human being with an open mind and a love for music understands what this is about. Love for your family, for your traditions, for the memories you have from growing up. My grandma made pancakes too on Sundays, our Christmases where also filled with joy and laughter and we too sat on our porch and looked at the clouds finding ships and faces in them and were just plain happy growing up in peace and love. We also learned to respect all the people of this planet en were taught we are all brothers and sisters under the skin. 💕

Us Southerns hang on to our traditions and culture where most places you bring up something over a month ago people forget. We dont. We remember and we will never forget our home our Southland and our heritage. Its our birthright. Its who we are from Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson, to the hills we grew up in to the Stories we lived in there. It's sacred to us and Dixie is tattooed on our hearts. Not everyone understands that.

    I typically don't comment on any platform but @Whiskeymyers deserves WAY more recognition here. Well written and well played. Captures the southern spirit and culture. I particular love how you sewed together our American values that resonates with all of from from North to South, East and West. While it does speak to a Southern way of life, this resonates with so many of us as painting a picture of a country built on solid values. Values we are unwilling to waver on. Our founding values and principles of God, family and country. A country where we are to put God and TRUTH before all else. A country where we teach the next one in line to work hard, give back, honor and protect this land at all cost, thank our soldiers for their sacrifice and while family can be challenging-love them just the same...and for those of you just tuning into these guys...Listen to Broken Window Serenade. Once again, they've captured the struggle and the sadness and wrapped it in a bow. For this CT Yankee, I'm still listening and following. Hope to see y'all in person some day. I pray for continued success!

    My first rifle was a .30-06
    My grandpa taught me to shoot it way back in the sticks
    It taught me to hunt and live off the land, but I guess that's something you don't understand.
