Keep the Change
by Hank Williams Jr. (10 October 2011) [aka: "And Y'all Can Keep
the Change"]
I'll keep my freedom
I'll keep my guns
Try to keep my money
And my religion too
Try to keep on workin'
Try to keep on smilin'
I'll keep my Christian name
An' y'all can keep the change
I'll keep my heroes' Pictures on the wall
I'll keep my family safe
You bluff when I call
I'm gonna keep my big V-8
Keep my friends the same
Keep the government outta my business
An' y'all can keep the change
This country's sure as hell been goin' down the drain
We know what we need
We know who to blame
United Socialist States of America
How do ya like that name?
I'll keep the USA
An' y'all can keep the change
So FOX and Friends wanna put me down
Ask for my opinions
Then twist it all around
Supposed to be talkin' 'bout my father's new CD
Well two can play that Gotcha Game
Just wait and see
Don't tread on me
This country's sure as hell been goin' down the drain
We know what we need
We know who to blame
United Socialist States of America
Don't ya just LOVE that name?
I'll keep the USA
An' y'all can keep the change
I'll keep the USA
An' y'all can keep the change
Yeah, you can keep FOX and Friends
And ESPN outta your homes too
Cuz Bocephus and all his rowdy friends
And his song is outta there!
Yes sir!
[editorial note: when Hank Williams Junior was
three years old, his father nicknamed him
(meaning "my little friend") after the ventriloquist's dummy that
comedian Rod Brasfield used when performing at the Grand Ole Opry
in Nashville Tennessee]
[editorial note: during the 2011 Country Music
Awards, Hank Williams Jr. said of this precipitating incident: "I
was Pearl Harbor; they are the Japanese!"]
