I’m not sure if any of you have heard of the country music artist by the name of “Chris Knight”... old school story telling county music that you don’t hear on the radio.

Most of his music is non-political, but this one song I thought was worth passing on. After a flood on the Ohio River devastated his hometown of Slaghters Kentucky he was amazed at how formerly self reliant people were so dependent on the government to “save them”... so he wrote this song.

Sometimes I wonder where my next dollar gonna come from
Keep my head up and something falls out of the sky
Daddy taught me how to use my bootstraps and carry on
He said God will be good to you son if you try

Uncle Sam comes around getting both hands in your pocket
People out there, just barely are gettin by
Render unto Caesar no more than you got to
Keep the Lord in your heart, and keep your powder dry.
But do you good in mean time
While you're waiting on a good time, draw the line.

Well you might wanna think about getting yourself a shotgun
You might wanna think about growing you a garden patch
You might have to go out and shoot something and drag it home
But don't never count your chickens before they hatch
But do you good in mean time
While you're waiting on a good time, draw the line.

I'm pretty sure that the government ain't gonna save you
The good lord helps the ones that help themselves
You wanna stand on your own 2 feet, and use some backbone
Don't go crawling on your knees, begging for help
But do you good in mean time
While you're waiting on a good time, draw the line.
Yeah in the mean time, draw the line.

Try this link. this song has been around a while, but it's the first time I heard it. Good stuff!

(I'm so old I can remember when this was called rock, not country. But either way, I like it.)
