I haven't rated it yet because I'm still trying to decide whether I like it. Willie's vocals are flawless, but the words are thought-provoking and very sad.
Willie wrote it, I believe.in the 60s. I think it first appeared on his IRS TAPES cd of unreleased songs and demos. Nice video to fit the song. Did you do it, or was Willie responsible? Willie wrote this when a friend was drafted during the Vietnam war.
@mansonfan420666 It is not his first I dont think. He has had a long career. Support the troops, bring them home from a war of profit. Let the war profiteers send their children into war! Why dont they jump in with their children too!
So often it is written in these comments: Incredible, amazing, fantastic! Those words are used to often in my opinion. In this case though, it could not be more accurate. I am stunned! Thank you for posting...
