  • Steve Lee and his daughter Raechel, with help from hickok45 and bigjohn88tn, write a future gold record in just two hours at the kitchen table, "Life Is Good." :-) Lyrics are posted below. Also, if you are a Bob Dylan fan like me, or even if you're not, you'll like Raechel's new song, • The Lees - It Ain't Me... . I'm sure you already know Steve's classic, but if not, click on his channel in my subscriptions or on this link to his song: www.youtube.com...
    If you'd like to see another "take" on this performance, see the last part of "Deleted Scenes II"
    "Life Is Good"
    He's spending time with his favorite toys
    Just slingin' lead and makin' noise.
    All the game down here is made of steel.
    The bullets fly and the targets fall,
    But the goats and pigs don't mind at all.
    Around here the Zombies are the only thing that's real.
    Life is good
    Chorus:
    He shoots more ammo than he probably should
    His compound's here in the Nashville neighborhood
    In the land of the free.
    Life is good
    He's always shootin' down in the woods;
    Wouldn't leave here even if he could.
    Life is good
    Now he's cooler than the real Hickok.
    This man shoots a Colt or a Glock.
    He's never met a target he can't hit.
    He loves his Lever and he loves his Bolt,
    A semi-auto and his .45 Colt.
    But most of his hits are on the Internet.
    Life is good
    [ Chorus ]
    So when you're down in Tennessee
    Where freedom is alive
    And you hear shot ring from the wood,
    It's Hickok 45
    [Chorus]

      It sure does seem that way. They know first hand what it is to lose freedom. Most people in the U.S. don't think that it can happen here. Some in Australia thought the same thing. Great song Steve.

    @shayi394 , You're right, there are lots of really good gun videos on UA-cam, especially from the ones you mention. I'm not familiar with kiwitedferny yet, but lots of people have nice videos with lots of good information. I'm just another guy with a camera doing what I do. Sometimes, if I'm looking for some really specific information, I go to somebody who does a better job at that than I do. We're all different in what we do.

    Ok I figured this out. I can't listen to this song without getting g a big goofy grin and...yes ok tearing up a little. This song is special for a few reasons, of course, it's about good Ole Hickok45 who to a lot of us is a hero. This guy is basically a real life Captain America. But not today's America, an America when we were proud, strong, and respected. The America we need to go back to being. so that's part of it, Hickok45 instills in us that this country will get better and we as a whole will be proud, strong, and respected again. He's like a beacon of hope I guess, at the risk of sounding like a dumbass. secondly, here we have a foreigner who actually loves and respects America. That in itself is a beautiful thing cause I think Steve believes that America is his beacon of hope. And, it is a pretty damn good, happy tune. Good stuff guys, beautiful! keep it up!

      Hey man, the USA is still a role model for so many oppressed peoples around the globe. I'd know, I'm one. Your ideas are scary to all tyrants, so they oppose you vehemently, and in so many ways try and and make you look evil. And then there are the weaker assholes who just ride on those false arguments to score local political points. On and on. You know how much energy is spent trying to counter your ideals? And it does need a lot of work to oppose you because your ideals just make sense! For the regular people, go figure!! I'm from the Levant, and i wouldn't be sitting here sipping this whiskey after a long weekend's work if it weren't for your ancestors putting down on paper what the rights of every individual are. We The People, yeah, way across the Globe. Cheers!

    Key of G
    Starts on the 5th and walks down the D mixo scale to the 5 and then goes on with a folks boues progression which goes to the 4th on the chorus. If you play country you’ll be very familiar with this progression and it’s so much fun to pick or saw the fiddle over this tune and it’s 4/4 time
