I haven’t wanted to write a country song in a long time. I don’t listen to country music anymore. With so many country artists teaming up with Trump I really didn’t want to be associated with that group of people.
I recently cut my hair and my beard so I feel like I look less like that crowd.
With Kamala Harris announcing and now Tim Walz I’m excited again.
I’m hearing some new country swinging back at the Trump crowd. So hearing these songs and feeling the excitement got my muse going and this one wrote itself. Yes, there’s definitely a double meaning in the song.
Taking This Country Back by Stephen Michael McMillen

V1
You put us on our heels made us something we ain’t.
You talked a lot of s**t, you taught us to hate.
But now we see yeah we see through you.
Man we’re back, back to our roots.
Chorus
Were taking this country back, yeah that’s what we’re doing
Taking this country back, hey we’re not fooling.
We’re taking this country back for you and for me
Taking this country back, the way it needs to be.
V2
Remem ber ing love, love for our neighbors.
Saying to hell with that, to hell with y’all haters
For respect and for pride, for in clu siv ity
For acceptance of our div er city.
Chorus
Were taking this country back, yeah that’s what we’re doing
Taking this country back, man we’re not fooling.
We’re taking this country back, for you and for me
Taking this country back, the way it needs to be.

Spoken “not everyone will come along , that’s sad but that’s ok. But if your ready to change the heartland sing along with me
Chorus
Were taking this country back, yeah that’s what we’re doing
Taking this country back, yeah we’re not fooling.
We’re taking this country back for you and for me
Taking this country back, to where we need to be.
We’re taking this country back.

We’re taking this country back, for our family.
Taking this country back
Yeah we’re taking it back
We’re taking this country back.
