m.a.r., because they criticized the song, they are wimps who are un-American?

Anyways, the song is catchy, but very ridiculous in my opinion. I just can’t get over the expression “Hot dog! Hot damn!”

I think the meaning of the song really comes out in his music video. Every lyric has a meaning to it. It’s all about mocking corporate America and how it has affected the average person. A lot of it is showing wall st and the high-ups in government working together and how they control our perspectives.

All of you liberals on here make me sick. A lot of people think this, he just has the guts to sing it. The writer of this article SUCKS. You wimps should go listen to some Justin Bieber and leave the country music to the real Americans.

What a shining example of diplomacy and maturity.

I thought the review was dead-on.

I’m 15 years old, and i’m pretty sure I even got the message the song was giving us. America isn’t as great as everybody cracks it up to be. When he says “that’s us, that’s right! Gotta love the american ride!” he’s being sarcastic. Everybody walks arounnd with there head up there butt thinking america is the “blessed” country. Honestly? Arogant much? Not to mention, we look pretty helpless right now. When he says “look ma! no hands!” he’s meaning people in america are so careless. We’re selfish and we really do believe that we’re all going to heaven because we’re AMERICAN! Yeah, that’s pretty mature. Not trying to russle any feathers here, but i love the song. I think it’s a well needed wake up call that ALL of us americans need to take to heart. I love Toby!

the thing about this song (I know its an old thread) is that it was written in 2005-2006 so it sounds weird. Most of the events referenced in the song happened in 2003-2006. Toby Keith is not the writer and it must be an old song.

Anybody who doesn’t understand this song is very ignorant. If you actually listened to the song instead of just saying “I don’t like it” like a two year old, you would understand! People like you are the reason they had enough ideas to write this song!

Hey, I haven’t heard country music lovers get so uptight since the Dixie Chicks. Give me a break this is TOBY. Gotta love him.
