Hogjaw - Gitsum

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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hogjaw/gitsum.html ]
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

  1. That was overblown, slightly ridiculous and, well, perfect.

  2. Great showcase of guns that average Americans can own. Was that a PSL I saw in there too?

  3. Sorry to comment twice in a row, but am I the only one who thinks it's ironic that about half the guns in a video about freedom are from Eastern Bloc countries?

  4. Nice. I don't have time to listen to that right now, but those lyrics are jam-packed with WIN.

  5. Dave H, no question that the Commies excelled at killing people. The difference here is that the State doesn't have a monopoly on the use of force.

    A decent rephrasing of the founder's intent behind the Second Amendment would be something like Hey Fed.Gov, play nice!

    At the end of the day, the commie milsurp guns are just tools. Tools with spectacular muzzle blast, but tools ... ;-)

  6. Amen on the muzzle blast. I wish my club would let us shoot at twilight. I have a Mosin, and a PSL waiting to be built. It'd be fun to light up the night like that.

    In light of my prior comment, I'll note that the Soviet Union lost the Cold War in spite of their iron fistedness.

  7. Good stuff. Also check out Blackberry Smoke for a similar souther rock style and good songs.

  8. No that song needs to go in the MHI movie!

  9. I'm a Southern Rock fan, especially Skynyrd and 38 Special so these guys are right up my alley. Thanks for the tip BP.
