Honky Tonkers For Truth: Don't You Wish You'd Thought Of That Name?
NASHVILLE

When some Nashville music industry professionals decide it's time for a country song to take issue with Presidential policy, they go and record one. That's how the self-named "Honky Tonkers for Truth" came about. Songwriter David Kent -- who wrote Blake Shelton's hit "Austin" -- wrote "Takin' My Country Back," and took it to Tim Dubois and Mike Dungan -- the presidents of Universal South Records and Capitol Records -- and producers Don Cook and Garth Fundis. What they didn't have was a big-name artist willing to put his-or-her career on the line by singing a song with a critical message -- until Tony Stampley stood up. He performs the song "Takin My Country Back." The Honky Tonkers for Truth say they support our troops overseas, and believe in family, faith and freedom and deeply love this country. But they say the songs by Toby Keith, Charlie Daniels, Darryl Worley and others give people the false impression that everyone in country music supports the current administration.

8. Wow! That's a great song.

And I am not a country music fan.

[Merlin]

9. Evidently some don't realize how important this is. In fact, it's historic

Great campaign songs become a part of history. This is definitely one of them. Only problem is, how do we get it played?

[KOBUK]

10. I love country music and this song !

Call your local country station and request it,I'm going to do just that !

[RebelOne]

15. It's gonna be difficult to get it aired on country-western stations,

at least here in the South, since most of them are right wing.

[Merlin]

18. I play it several times a day just for morale uplifting.

[Rose Siding]

11. I sent it to AAR

Or do you think Imus would play it?

[IHateFundies]

12. Awesome! I'm going to run out and buy a Tony Stampley record

I’M TAKIN’ MY COUNTRY BACK
SON, YOU AIN'T BEEN DOIN’ HER RIGHT
OH I BEEN WATCHIN’ YOU AND I DON’T LIKE
HOW YOU'VE BEEN TREATIN’ MY STARS AND STRIPES
YOU GOT TOO MANY FANCY FRIENDS FOR ME
THE SAUDIS TREAT YOU LIKE YOU'RE ROYALTY
YOU BLEW THE BUDGET AND YOU BOTCHED IRAQ
NOW I’M TAKIN’ MY COUNTRY BACK

...

NOW YOU DON’T KNOW MY NAME, BUT YOU KNOW WHO I AM
I'M YOUR EVERYDAY WORK HARD, PLAY HARD
RAISE KIDS AND PRAY HARD COMMON MAN....
AND LORD KNOWS I LOVE THIS LAND...THAT'S WHY

I’M TAKIN’ MY COUNTRY BACK
SON, YOU AIN'T BEEN DOIN’ HER RIGHT
OH I BEEN WATCHIN’ YOU AND I DON’T LIKE
HOW YOU'VE BEEN TREATIN’ MY STARS AND STRIPES
YOU SAY "UNITE" BUT YOU DIVIDE US MORE
CUSSIN' EACH OTHER ON THE SENATE FLOOR
AIN'T WE SUPPOSED TO BE ABOVE ALL THAT ?
HEY I’M TAKIN’ MY COUNTRY BACK
I GOT MY FAMILY AND MY CHURCH AND FLAG...
NOW I'M TAKIN' MY COUNTRY BACK

[soup]
