Carl was my friend. He spent some time while down financially with our family in Everton Arkansas. As some of you may know, I’ve made a few recordings in my life that were widely accepted but not in such a quantity to turn me into a full time musician. I am planning on recording this if I can find a decent band to back me up.
When Carl passed, he was pretty destitute and was unable to leave anything of value besides memories, and some of them were not good, to his daughter Amy. His wife Sunny has passed and his younger daughter passed too. So all that is left of Carl’s progeny is Amy who is the sweetest woman you can ever meet.
I want you to listen to this song and if you’re blessed, make a way for you all to send Amy a gift via Paypal to her as a friends or family gift. She can sure use it. Tell her that it is something from Carl and you enjoyed his music. You can find a lot of his songs all over Youtube and unfortunately none of it’s value is helping out Amy. Her Email address which you can use at Paypal is: alklang@gmail.com
I give you…We Want This Country Back
I had this crazy dream
About some folks who loved this country
Who all began to dream the same dream
And when the mornin' came
There arose across this nation
People thinkin' one and the same
And they awoke to find their freedom
And all their liberties
Had gradually been taken away
And when they realized the danger to their posterity
I heard those Patriotic people say....
We want this Country back!
We ain't just jokin' jack!
We want our liberty
And our dignity
And our freedoms and our rights restored
We want this Country back!
She's been driven way off track
We're wide awake
And we're madder than hell now
And we ain't gonna take it anymore!
No we’re not gonna take it anymore!
Remember golden days
When the Stars and Strips forever
Symbolized her glorious name "AMERICA"
But now it's all been changed
And when we gaze upon Old Glory
It's hard to fight back feelin's of shame
We're fed up with lyin' politicians
And greedy corporations
Who have sold us out
Time and again
And we're sick and tired of sendin'
Our soldiers off to wars
That we were never meant to win
We want this Country back!
We ain't just jokin' jack!
We want our liberty
And our dignity
And our freedoms and our rights restored
We want this country back!
She's been driven way off track
We're wide awake
And we're madder than hell now!
And we ain't gonna take it anymore
No we're not gonna take it anymore!
Now we know our cause is right
And our victory's on the way
And we won't give up the fight
'Till we hear three hundred million say
We want this Country back!
We ain't just jokin' jack!
We want our liberty
And our dignity
And our freedoms and our rights restored
We want this Country back!
And we ain't taken anymore flack!
We're wide awake
And we're madder than hell now!
And we ain't gonna take it anymore!
No we're not gonna take it anymore!
That's right we're not gonna take it anymore! We said we’re not gonna take it anymore! That's right we're not gonna take it anymore! ….(fade out)
I miss you Carl. We had some good times back then getting the truth out and I always enjoyed talking to you, even when you were worried about black helicopters coming to get you in the middle of the night…I met Sheriff Deputy Dennis Lea because of the incident you had with him where you kicked him so that he would arrest you and put you in protective custody to protect you from the people in those helicopters. What wild days those were. I was glad he was so understanding and dropped all charges against you. C.L.
What a great song! I wish it would be on the radio.
I pray we can get our country back, but it seems like it's going to be a long, dangerous row to hoe.
