Description
I was inspired to write this song after listening to the great Merle Haggard's latest album Chicago Wind. If you want to hear a master do it right, listen to this album. I know some folks don't think politics has a place here on Macjams. All I can say is that this has always been a part of who I am. So you be true to yourself and I will be true to mine ownself.

Lyrics
Last night I heard the President on tv
He almost got through a sentence and got it right.
Talking about freedom for foreign lands,
But if you don't agree with him your a traitor
How about some of that freedom for me
I've got the freedom to believe what he says
Even though there's a lie dripping from his mouth
And I've got the freedom to have my phone tapped
And they can read my email too
And I can say everything is beautiful and wonderful
And it feels so great to be free
I can pay my taxes so they can steal them
But hey what's a billion or two
Thomas Jefferson warned us about you
Some people never see the light
They tremble with fear over what they hear
But most of it is made up bullshit
And comes around when his popularity falls
He almost got through a sentence and got it right.
Talking about freedom for foreign lands,
But if you don't agree with him your a traitor
How about some of that freedom for me
I've got the freedom to believe what he says
Even though there's a lie dripping from his mouth
And I've got the freedom to have my phone tapped
And they can read my email too
And I can say everything is beautiful and wonderful
And it feels so great to be free
I can pay my taxes so they can steal them
But hey what's a billion or two
Thomas Jefferson warned us about you
Some people never see the light
They tremble with fear over what they hear
But most of it is made up bullshit
And comes around when his popularity falls

I enjoy story songs, and you weave a very nice tune hear. Your picking
is nice, very clean roll fingerpicking! Nice flow to this!
I voted for Bush the first time, but I sure can't understand all the
money we are spending over there and not seeing such good results.
Not even sure if there were a vote that even 1/4 of the iraq's would
want us over there.
Anyway I am feeling there are going to be plenty more songs available
on the internet with respect to what is happening in Iraq. You seem to
me, do a might fine job!
Note a whole lot of people appreciate the fine art of fingerstyle guitar
and I want to commend you for making it available to us a macjams.
Keep the acoustic flag waving !
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to upload. Maybe uploading
songs to macjams like this might be more porfitable for our country
than uploading bombs to a country that seems as a whole doesn't
really care that we are there. Billions could of been spent better I
think, especially if the Iraq majority do not want us there.
Our country was built on the freedom of voting, maybe there should be
voting by the iraq's to see if they want us there.
