The Hickok45 Song
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- 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...

"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]

Holy Smokes, them Aussies are more American than most Americans i know. God Bless Australia.
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.
+Kevin Packard Great comment
boingtronic damn straight most of us are. No matter I would risk my life to fight for Australia and the U.S
Kevin Packard
We all only deserve the freedoms we’re willing to fight for.
It’s always been that way, it always will be that way.
I’m ready.
that's because we're all europeans at heart.
@8entWookie , Steve has talked about putting it on his next CD. Don't know if that will happen or not - up to him.
Now its a Sunday Shoot A Round theme song!
@@callawayken650 yeah, surprised to see it is 12 years already.
Time flies, can’t believe we first heard this 10 years ago. I was 16 and a Jr in highschool, now I’m nearing 30. Crazy I’ve been watching you, nutnfancy, military arms channel and other for half my life. Lets hope that doesn’t change and life can continue to be good.
I love that song, Steve Lee and Hickok45 forever
amen
thats a great song
Да
@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.
ist the man
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!
+Muholov Muholov what you just responded to my comment with makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
+Muholov Muholov I'm not going to keyboard cowboy you pal, your the one who started with the derogatory nonsense. "Watch you words".......or what? Give me a break.
This is such a poignant reply, HonduDan, with Australia locked down tight for a year, America masking up like we are afraid, illegals pouring over the border 100s of thousands per month, and our Freedoms eroding one congressional bill at a time....
@@maddierosemusic Scary times we're living in. Our country, culture and freedom are being gnawed away at every day. Let's still keep the hope alive though!
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!
Outstanding guys! Hickok you done well behind the camera... Steve you're awesome.... your daugher is a beautiful young lady.... Big Jon great job adding some spice! Great video guys! You all like a big boom as much as Heather and me! Life is good!
Wow, can’t believe this video is already 10 years ago.
@keltingr , We twisted her arm to get her to shoot, but she was ready to relax with a good book by the time we finished all the music stuff. She put in a hard day's work on that song.
2024 and must watched this a thousand times, still get choked up.
Glad I'm not the only one. This shit is a tear jerker. Life is good.
Man for some weir reason this song fill my eyes with tears of joy. I just can't explain why. Life is good! Love it.
Dayum! I thought that was made recently! 10 years! Man it's so good... Life is good!
This just popped up on my recommended playlist. Life really is good.
What an Awesome tribute to Hickok 45!! I Love it!! Thank you.
I've been a Hickok45 viewer since 2014 (3 years now) and never knew John could play! Very nice solo, very great song tribute. Not surprised it would come from a pair of Aussies. Thanks.
8 years now
@@breeie9900 10*
Just awesome. I love it. Got a little tear of joy built up in the eye there for a moment. Heck yeah. As a truck driver we can have some ruff days. I can always pop on Hickok45 and the day ends a little better. Again the song is awesome.
Man ,man now thats a song to be proud of, God bless AMERICA and Australia and of course my personal role model the great Hickok45.
he's rockin the Heckler and Koch T-Shirt. A lot of love for you guys!
Beautiful song, filled my eyes with tears. wish people would share kindness with is other like the song. very nice and Steve thanks for making the song.
Awesome song, how did I ever miss this.
Two Australians singing a song that makes me feel like an American that is irony/unity at it best
Life is good! Always a positive attitude is a big reason I love these videos. Thanks for being such a good role model Hickok45.
@filo4life11 , Yeah, quite a mystery when you look at her dad, right? :-) If you follow the link I put in the description, you can see the whole family in a recent music video. Fortunately, the kids all take after their mom! :-)
2020 and this is still dope.
@JAG6363 , Yeah, with me doing the camera work, you also got a break from my mug. :-)
I'm glad hickok45 got a slayer style solo.
This is the song I look forward to on Sunday Shoot-A-Round
@shayi394 , I try to remember that virtually anybody on the planet can set up a UA-cam account and make a comment. It's remarkable that we see so few crazies around here, I suppose.
I remember when this video was first posted on the channel. Probably my favorite UA-cam video of all time.
What a great song! Looks like you guys really had some fun with Steve Lee and Raechel.
I have been watching this channel for years and just realized that the "Shoot Around Sunday" theme song was actually written about Hickok45. I was never able to hear the lyrics clearly enough before. Very cool!!!
That was great, steve and his daughter with the nice country, and you're son was rippin', that was awesome!
@moumoutoum , Wow, only 1,000 rounds of ammo for each gun! That's hardly enough to get the afternoon started! :-)
@dullbrass , That;s pretty much what I was thinking.
Has it really been over 4 years since Steve visited the compound?
wow, time flies.
didnt realize it until i read your comment. Its crazy
@@CbusHas 11 years now..I’m reminiscing on people reminiscing
@@vanetamona9918 make it 12.
Thanks Hickok45. I'm having the worst weekend of my life, and you having a new video up no matter what it had - made me feel a little bit better while watching it.
@sjr341 , Hey, this time yesterday, we had not even started on it! :-)
I loved that song, it was amazing!
Just loving it,Hickok & Lee, cool
This one should go Gold in America and the World. Love it, a classic already. God Bless us all.
Oh boy Peter from Puerto Rico, what a great song!!!
@derkommissar3 , I'll check my link to make sure it's okay. You can also get to their family website through Steve's "I Like Guns" channel.
Great song and it's good to finally see the man who's behind the camera all the time!
That was awesome! I'm watching this at 8:11am in Texas and it just made my day! Bravo!
I cant get this song out of my head. Steve lee is a great singer.
I love that song so much! 😀🙌🏻🎼🎼
relistening. dang this song brought me back to a better time. and broke my heart
Yes, the "good old days," before wokism started destroying the earth, as well as pre-covid.
This song makes me smile today. I know some day it'll bring tears to many of our eyes. love it. every sunday shootaround!

BIG JOHN with that rockin solo!! ive watched this video evrey week for 2 years
Have been a fan of Hickok45 for a little while now. Watching this made me a fan of the Lees
Wonderful watching !! Love so much !!!!
Hickok, Steve, Raechel and BigJohn, Thank you. Very cool!! Life is Good!!
Great song. I just spent the last week or so traveling from The Great Smokies thru Nashville and now to Memphis. East and Middle Tennessee has to be one of the most beautiful places in the entire country. Life is good indeed.
Love this song and I play it at my live shows here in south east Texas! Would love to have John come do that little solo on it one day.
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
Sorry the into walk down to the *1 G major
This song has been stuck in my head for weeks! I love it!!
man this is one of the best damn songs ive ever heard
awesome! life IS good
Thank you so much for your service and everything you've done for us back home
Absolutiely awesome tune and good fun with family and friends.
Nice work all!
Thumbs up!
@25sierraman , Don't know if Steve has plans for that or not.
Loved this song from the sunday shoot around. Now i love it even more.
I love this and want his songs on my ipod!!!
I didn't even read other comments about tearing up. apparently I'm not the only one who thinks this is a beautiful thing that brings tears of joy!lol
That was great! Put a smile on my face that was sorely needed. Thank you.
What a cool song! What a very nice tribute to a Father and Son! Very cool!
That is awesome Steve Lee!

Wow! 12 years ago and it feels like just yesterday.
@JGguns1 , Well, we did three takes, more or less, and that was not even the one we had planned to post, but after looking at them, we just liked that one a little better. Seemed the most fun overall. We've got some good behind-the-scenes and out-takes during the day.
I think I'm gonna have this song stuck in my head for months now. lol I love it.
Sunday shoot a round!! Life’s so good with Hickok45!!!
The first 10 seconds makes me laugh over and over again.
such a beautiful and awesome song definately worth a Golden record if not better! Go for the tops guys you can make it. They are such good friends, don't come across such friends like that very often.
Love this!
I just watched this video for the first time, and I am smiling from ear to ear. :-)
