Hogjaw - Gitsum

Yeah, this is a repeat.  This song is hereby declared the Official Blogshoot Theme Song.  We're meeting up today to do just what you see here, only maybe with more guns. Makes me think that the only thing more awesome than a blogshoot would be a blogshoot with a band like Hogjaw playing.

------------- Begin lazy (but shooty awesome) repeat post ------------

While there's a lot of discussion about what "the real country music is", pretty much everyone grants "southern rock" honorary membership in the club.  That's a Good Thing, because otherwise country music fans might not hear Hogjaw.  And that'd be a cryin' shame.

Especially if you like shooting your guns. 

Hogjaw does, unapologetically and with what's it to ya? gusto.  Oh, and with some good guitar riffs.  And extra points for filming the Moisin-Nagant at dusk, when the fireball at the muzzle is simply spectacular.

What more do you need?



Gitsum (Songwriters: ??? Dudes, set up a Wikipedia page for Discography)

Some say they wanna take my guns away
They will find to rue that day... yes they will

Blame it on the villain in the street
Truth is they wanna herd us like sheep

Come on, bring it on
Just getting started, I ain't done
Come on, bring it on
Step right up and get yourself some
Come on, bring it on
Seen you before, ain't gonna run
Come on, bring it on
Standin' right here, come get you some

We hold our rights and values dear
Your laws don't mean nuthin to us here

Come on, bring it on
Just getting started, I ain't done
Come on, bring it on
Step right up and get yourself some
Come on, bring it on
Seen you before, ain't gonna run
Come on, bring it on
Standin' right here, come get you some

I remember real clear, years ago in the swamps of South Georgia
Cane pole and Crossman in my hands was all I need to be growed up
Home made ice cream and BBQ and the family on Friday nights
Ten lane ramp on Saturday right before the morning light

There came a time I's old enough and learned about the gun
And every night at suppertime I'd answer to what I'd done
Folks today plum forgot about the way it used to be
Got no respect and no cold steel, just games on TV

And I'll burn in hell before I sell my rights away from me
It's high time we embrace the tool that keeps all men free

Come on and get you some
Come on
Come on and get you some
Come on
Come on and get you some today

Come on and get you some
Come on
Come on and get you some
Come on
Come on and get you some tonight

One of my favorite songs, BP. Don't know why it hasn't made it to the bigger scene.
