He just ‘whined’ his way into being a rich man himself. Personally I think he has a great voice for country style music.

Not really. It sounds like heartfelt, emotional pain and frustration. I.e., it sounds very real.

He’ll fit right in with Johnny Cash and Coulter Wall.

Sounds like a bitch born after 1980. Just my opinion.

I’ve been selling my soul
Working all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It’s a damn shame
What the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Living in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just want to have total control
Wanna know what you think
Wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
Cause your dollar ain’t shit, and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothing to eat
And the obese milking welfare
Well God, if you’re 5 foot 3 and you’re 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are putting themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kicking them down
You might also like

The Weight
The Band
Lord, it’s a damn shame
What the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Living in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just want to have total control
Wanna know what you think
Wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit, and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I’ve been selling my soul
Working all day
Overtime hours
For bullshit pay

After about thirty seconds of the song though the song kept playing the page auto switched to a page about a song about gay men in the 50s as the “antidote” to try that in a small town . The left never quit. They never ever quit.

I liked his music as well. And, his message was spot on!

Genuine and authentic. Tells the truth.

Anyone who criticizes this song is at best clueless, and worst an enemy.
