Just came across Elle King's lastest album yesterday, Come Get Your Wife, and i'm digging this track. Not a drinker, but it's a catchy tune. Also looking through my parents wedding album and the video nailed the style of the time ('79 in my parents case), well, except for the pickup.

I've listened to this a couple more times in the last week...and will again several more this year no doubt, being the 60th anniversary.

I am also in my 60th year, but was still in the womb when it happened, so I've lived my entire life in a post-coup society.

Shot down like a dog in broad daylight
‘Twas a matter of timing and the timing was right
You got unpaid debts and we’ve come to collect
We’re gon’ kill you with hatred and without any respect
We’ll mock you and shock you, we’ll grin in your face
We’ve already got someone here to take your place

Now there seems no reason why
I should carry on
In this land that once was my land
I can't find a home

It's lonely and it's quiet
and the horse soldiers are coming
And I think it's time I strung my bow
and ceased my senseless running

For soon I'll find the yellow moon
along with my loved ones
Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields
without the sound of guns

And the red sun sinks at last into
the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior comes
with a bullet hole
