I'm 60 and sitting here in December 2024 and this song has been in my head since my dad played it back in the early 70's and it's more true now than back then.
@Twin Reverbs Are Loud I was in Iraq in 09. I don't know if its all true what you say, but I am proud of what I did over there. I do know for a fact that those people for the most part glad we had freed them. Unfortunately, they had been under a dictator that controlled every aspect of their lives for so long, they are not able to do for themselves. Hence, ISIS filled the void. What is funny, the democratic party is wanting to do the exact same thing to the American people that saddam did to his.
Wannananalolodododo... "Robert... It goes down" It don't go down. "It do go down!!!" Awesome, great song 👍 Well then, stay healthy for all of us & Safety First folks! ✌😉
@@thelonehussar6101 That’s not true. California still has plenty of great, fun and safe places. Yes, the politicians and criminals have become more corrupt in recent years and people vote way too far left for my taste, but in spite of that it’s overall a relaxed, good place. You have to be aware of and avoid the bad areas. There always have been unsafe areas. Try not to buy Into all the modern hype and sensationalism of the media. You don’t hear about the countless good things from those people but the few bad situations and places. Sensationalism draws viewers.
@@Jonandbrianshow He lived in California until he died which was only seven years ago. Most people who don’t reside in California don’t realize just how conservative many Californians are. Publicity is always given to the most populated liberal cities like L.A., aS.F Bay Area and places like that. Also, in spite of some of his songs Merle was a little more liberal than most people are aware of.
@@TheTGOAC Hahaa.. Says the punk who is subscribed to the ‘peepee gang’.. go back to your video games in mommies basement. Obviously you don’t understand the comment. National anthem was never mentioned, so don’t get it twisted.
I listen to some squirrely man who says he don't believe in fightin'. Merle is like Nostradamus and could see into he future to 2024. He wrote this just for us today to remind us that you must learn from history. The squirrely man is NUTS!
How could you leave out Johnny Cash and June Carter. Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells. Willie, Moe Bandy, Patsy Cline, Buck, Charley, Jeannie C., Jerry Lee, Emmy Lou, Crystal, Oakridge Boys, and a whole host of others.
+Rich Dudley Thank you for your kind reply, and (I know it's decades overdue) a very cordial Welcome Home. A bit about me: US Army Reserve, enlisted, tours in Iraq and Afghanistan (as far as my youth... I'm 44 years old:-) ). I first heard this song after I returned... and loved it.
KonradAdenauerJr When you are 68, you too will consider 44 young :) Thank you for the welcome home. I have striven these many years to make sure people respected military personnel, even if they disagreed with the military action being waged. I was an AF PJ who served 3 tours in Vietnam between '67 and '72 when I was medically retired. I came home to a country full of people that spit on me, pelted me with rotten vegetables and screamed vile obscenities at me. And I couldn't kill any of them! I have a ribbon rack in a shadow box with a tomato seed stuck smack dab in the middle of my Silver Star, almost like an attachment.
+Rich Dudley That's an interesting place for a tomato seed to land in. When I was in college in the early 1990s, I had this professor who had been opposed to the Vietnam War during her own college years, and who conceded that the antiwar protesters had made a huge mistake by treating returning vets the way you've described. When returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, I never experienced such a mean "reception."
I'm mostly a 80's and 90's Metal guy, but by god I can't help but love this old country stuff. Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Wille Nelson Etc.
I grew up on hip-hop and punk rock. If I knew about this music as a kid, I’d probably be a musician. Waylon is probably my favorite. Merle is a beast as well. True outlaws and I’ve got that outlaw mentality.
I like punk and early metal but a lot of country music is better they can sound good with just an acoustic guitar and their voice they don't even need a microphone
America love it or leave it. Let this be a warning, when you are running down my country man your on the fighting side of me. Man I miss those days. RIP my man I will always stand with you. Proud to be an American.
This Amazing song written years ago Should be played all over The Great U.S.A and for Old Glory...Take That NFL...tell them Merle...U.S.A. U.S.A U.S.A...from your Canadian neighbor.
@@leahflower9924 that’s not following the logic of the comment. The comment is not that they told it to someone , it’s imagine if someone had told that to them.
I'm from England and know Okie from Muskogee, but learning more about old Hag. I can tell you one thing, he said what a lot of ordinary Americans thought and still do now with all the leftishness around. I wanted to serve my country when I was younger and was willing to serve six years in the RAF, but a medical issue stopped me.
you realize okie was a satire song right? he was poking fun at the archaic beliefs of simpleton small town conservatives. haggard supported Obama and hillary in the decade leading up to his death.
+Forrest Shields I'm sorry us small town simpleton are not as cultured as some other people like in New York, the state that gave us both Trump and Hillary. Them guys back there are far ahead of the curve it would seem.
This whole song is the absolute truth. I read another comment about this being more relevant now than back then. That is true. People saying that we’re just wasting time fighting. I suggest you listen to this and Darryl Worley’s Have You Forgotten.
I missed the chance to see him just six months before he passed, in Helotes Texas,,,,,,my friend saw him and told me he was still rockin' and voice was pure country and the music absolutely fantastic! If he had not gotten so sick, he would still be out there today. Thank you Lord for giving that man his gift and giving him strength and courage to share with so many for so long!
Hello 👋Karen. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!
Merle, my Dad and me! We sang all of his songs sittin on the back porch, I was the record changer! So many memories, Dad was a Marine, the 3rd of 13 kids! He was my hero! Miss him so much!
Great thing about a good song writer like Haggard, many of his songs reach out to everyone and are taken in many different ways. I believe in an American that has long died many years ago before I was even born. You get too many people stirring the pot, things start to rot.
welcome to the good stuff... Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam, George Jones (honorable mention to George Strait) and Alan Jackson. I'll add Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash.
For today's country music that is still traditional, I've recently discovered Sturgill Simpson, listening to it now. It's an interesting mix of classic country and rock, thanks to youtube autoplaying on me, I'm enjoying 'you can have the crown/some days', 'long white line', 'it ain't all flowers', 'living the dream', 'life of sin'. and if you like the women in country, the current Kacie Musgraves and Ashley Monroe are easy on the eyes and doing unique but still traditional country.

I think so too, the message of this song resounds esp these days .....

100% Man!! 👏👏👏👏
@Twin Reverbs Are Loud I was in Iraq in 09. I don't know if its all true what you say, but I am proud of what I did over there. I do know for a fact that those people for the most part glad we had freed them.

The GOAT Country artist! Conceived, born, raised, lived, died and buried in the great state of CALIFORNIA. Haters, don’t forget it.
California ain’t what it used to be at all
@@thelonehussar6101 That’s not true. California still has plenty of great, fun and safe places. Yes, the politicians and criminals have become more corrupt in recent years and people vote way too far left for my taste, but in spite of that it’s overall a relaxed, good place. You have to be aware of and avoid the bad areas. There always have been unsafe areas.
Try not to buy Into all the modern hype and sensationalism of the media. You don’t hear about the countless good things from those people but the few bad situations and places. Sensationalism draws viewers.
He was wayyyy too conservative for modern California. The South would proudly claim him though I'm sure.
@@Jonandbrianshow He lived in California until he died which was only seven years ago. Most people who don’t reside in California don’t realize just how conservative many Californians are. Publicity is always given to the most populated liberal cities like L.A., aS.F Bay Area and places like that.

It don't.

Guess you're a good country MUSIC lover?
Gonna sing this at a river
That is country music...not what you hear on country stations now. A country music legend is gone but will never be forgotten. RIP Merle 💔
New country is just pop with some country idiosyncrasies.
New country is sexier,… but I appreciate it all.
