Hank Williams Jrâs NFL song âTake a Knee, Take a Hikeâ sees resurgence with threat of disrespectful anthem kneelers
Country music mega-star Hank Williams Jr.âs original single, written to stand up to the NFL and athletes who disrespect the US flag, is feeling a resurgence this week.
Williams Jr. and tens of thousands or more NFL fans may no longer âbe readyâ for some football if, as expected, players in large numbers take a knee during the National Anthem.
The 2018 single called âTake a Knee, Take a Hike,â is trending up again and the patriotic-themed lyrics make his viewpoint abundantly transparent about those who want to use sporting events and venues to make political statements.
Oh, how we all love Monday night
When my song is done everyoneâs so pumped and hyped
Some wonât stand for the anthem and thatâs their right
Well, freedom isnât free
Our military means our liberty
So if youâre gonna take a knee, take a hike
So get behind the stars and stripes
Or just get the hell out and quit your gripe
So you got a long list of things that you donât like
Well please do us a favor
All you America haters
If youâre gonna take a knee, take a hike
Iâm afraid the NFL means âNot For Longâ
If they donât find a fix for whatâs goinâ on
How about a new boss like Condoleezza Rice
Just say please do us a favor
All of you America hatersâŚ
