Pledge Allegiance To The Hag

  G                          Cadd9    G
There's a little dive on a dead-end road
                                D       G
Called the Cross-Eyed Cricket Waterin' Hole
                                  Cadd9   G
Where you can hear the sound of a steel guitar
                            D G
An' get loud an' rowdy with PBR
            D                Cadd9
But at the top of every hour, man, you can hear a pin drop
        D                             Cadd9
As ol' Jack drops a quarter an' plays Merle on that jukebox, an' we stop

Chorus:
G
An' tip our hats
      D                  Cadd9       G     D
An' raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
            G
They say country's fadin'
    D                    Cadd9        G     D
But we still wavin' that flag around here
Cadd9                          G                   A
An' when it's time to go, you know you're welcome back
Cadd9                    D                 G
Where the people pledge allegiance to the Hag

G                               Cadd9      G
When the weekend comes an' the weather's clear
                      D                 G     D
There's a high spot fifteen miles from here
                                Cadd9   G
Where you can always find a few dusty trucks
                              Cadd9 D G
With the windows down an' the radio up
    D                               Cadd9
We sit there poppin' tops, shootin' bull an' singin' songs
     D                                Cadd9
But you can bet your boots that when Haggard comes on

(Repeat Chorus)

G                         Cadd9     G
One of these days when my time has come
                          D        G
You can take me back to where I'm from
              Cadd9     G
Put me on a westbound train
                         D      G
An' ship me off in the pourin' rain
D                         Cadd9
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
 D                                    Cadd9
Just put a quarter in the jukebox an' sing me back home

G
An' tip our hats
     D                  Cadd9        G     D
An' raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
            G
They say country's fadin'
     D                    Cadd9        G     D
But just keep wavin' that flag around here
Cadd9              G              A
An' I know, it'll keep on comin' back
Cadd9                      D
Long as people pledge allegiance
       Em                   A
Where folks still pledge allegiance
Cadd9          D            G
I pledge allegiance to the Hag
