Hate that we have lost these two great men. But I know Toby, Merle, and Jimmy are all having fun with so many other greats are puttin on one great show for Jesus up in heaven! Thanks boys for all the years you gave us!!
These two made a great pair, such a meaningful song, RIP you two!! Never be another Merle, and never another Toby Keith, you both shared your talents with the world and in ways that will never be forgotten. God bless the memories of you! We miss you so much!!
How could any American not love this song? America has its problems (mostly caused by greedy politicians), but I would much rather live here than anywhere else in the world!
This has got to be Toby's greatest on stage memory. To be able to be on stage with Meryl. It doesn't get any bigger or better than that. Only George Jones compares. How lucky we are. Have been.
God bless them both. I'm a 78 year old Vietnam Veteran I served 18 months in country and if my age would allow I would do it all again. God bless Country Music and our beautiful UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, MAGA YOU BET 👍
Amazing!! Toby will live on forever through duo's like this. Everything he has done, with his band or with someone else, have been stellar!!! We lost a great artist in Toby Keith!
Oh Lord, I have watched this so many times, the best one can ask for. Lord have mercy on Merle and Toby. Hopefully they are together again. The pun was intended.
There are songs that are written for what our world is like at that time, but many songs(this is one of them) that seem to be as relevant as the years go by, or even more so. That's the true testament to just how great a songwriter this man was!
It just proves that our country always had issue and always will. Nothing is ever perfect. The crap we’re going through is probably easier to deal with than the stuff that went on before we were around!
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Agree! Especially the part about loving our milk and honey but preachin bout another way of living. Oh heck! It's all perfect for the state of things today!
@@patriciakautz9439Yes, it was. It was written in 1970. The Vietnam war was going on then. Those of us who were around then know the truth. You should get your facts straight
Thankyou both Merle and Toby (RIP) An Inspiration, hopefully for the new country musicians. I'm 63 grew up listening to Merle and when I heard Toby I felt half as younger than I was. Good work men. (Jim from down under) Love your work.

I saw Meryl haggard live at the route 66 casino in Albuquerque NM it was wild I got so drunk and yelled so much and met a teacher and her husband and stayed The night with them. After party. 🥳
I got to see Merle in one of his last concerts here in rural Idaho in a small casino venue. Held probably 200 ppl. His son was selling the T-shirts. Was so awesome and fun! RIP MERLE AND TOBY! Two huge PATRIOTS! And the song is more relevant today than ever before.

“They love our milk and honey, but they preach other way of living!” They are walking on the fighting side of me!🫶🏼 Fights, or meaningful conversations. God bless America 🇺🇸.
I have to say, Merle was one of my all time favorites, while he was alive and still is!!! Although, hes been gone several years, he still ranks in the to 10, of all time!!! Fightin' Side of Me, probably my favorite of his, alone! As a Duo with Toby, it is!!!

How great is this! Merle's tribute to American patriotism, a wonderful song that attacks those who would undermine the values & culture and freedom of the United States of America and throw dirt in the faces of the many who have given their lives to ensure those who came after them would share those same values & culture & freedom. I'm not American, but I love their patriotism & wish it was equally evident here in my country. And although we have lost both Merle and Toby, this video stands as a testament to them both. For those who don't agree, the song has a message for you ....If you don't love it, leave it!

Well Toby,I fear it's not gonna be long,I'm 62 now,I might not live to see it,but the traders we have in political power now,are slowly letting people from other countrys come in,say we're offended by the American flag,by God in our schools,by the statues you have and the white privledge they seem to say we have. On not predgidis,I welcome anyone to live in our country,but dont try to change it to what you left,or go back if you dont like our flag,that represents freedom at its highest level,well it used to,and dont put down my race,we fought in the north to free humans,and end slavery,yet I'm still called,snowflake and blamed with the southern leaders who tried to keep slavery,I'm offended by that,but ot matters not,but fighten side of me,was always and will remain in my heart with the same feeling as our Anthem,God help America,,a n.v d stop this offended over everything attitudes or please escort them all back to there birth countrys!😪

DAMN it, I sure didn't need to see this on a beautiful day. Hurts be dang it we better be thankful we had these two legends that didn't give a DAMN about what you thought and ALWAYS supported our military! Thank you MERLE AND TOBY!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have seen Merle haggard in person at the forum in 1988. When I first saw Alabama in person. Merle was great on stage, I have been a country fan since 1980. When I first my favorite country radio station in Palmdale California with my parents, than then we moved to San Fernando valley California
Two patriots who didnt care who knew it. RIP Merle, we miss you. Thank you Tobey for standing up for what you believe in. Dont see that much in the world of celebrities these days, at least not conservatives. God bless America

Loved Merle Haggard, and he will always be remembered as the best!!! I Love Toby Keith too one awesome singer musician, American! Two of the best!❤❤❤❤❤❤
They both are playing guitars, plugged in (toby's wireless) and in the correct key. They're both pros and players as well as singers. Anyone who can write and sing 20 plus number 1 hits knows damn well how to play his guitar.
What hit homes with me with this song is that the ones that are running down the country ARE the ones that are running our country that to me is saddest of all God bless America and God always bless the Hag! RIP Brother!

I Love Mighty Merle Haggard !!! I have all my life. I am 57 yrs old and still think I sound pretty darn close to his sound. I have had the opportunity of singing on stage at Printers Alley with his son Marty. Was a great time !! would like to do a guitar with Merle and some of his songs. Jerry London
@@carolnethery6978 Good to hear your kind and encouraging words helps me do better. Its because of fans like you I'm here today. It’s always a pleasure to be able to entertain you and other fans. Thanks for all the love and support, may the lord bless and guide you. Have you been to any of my shows?
Toby really loved Merle, both Oklahoma boys. Merle was raised in my hometown of Bakersfield. Toby played all of Merle's songs when he was too ill to sing em. Merle always the common man didn't want to cancel the concert at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Due to all the hardworking folks that would have lost money that evening. He asked Toby on stage, " How many of my songs do you know? Toby replied, "All of em."
My oldest brother... An Air Force SPEC OPS Medic- 2 tours in 'nam, grew to be a Liberal... Joined 'em, instead of fighting them. I was all of thirteen. He could tell I was bleeding RWB. He asks me, America, love it or leave it? I defiantly said, "YOU BET!" I asked him where he got that. Dad. WWII Infantry Hero. A REAL Hero, who rescued POWs from that human wasteland of Bataan. My warrior-father. Merle fan. He told me about the song. So I bought it at our local Osco. Dad put it in our Seeburg 100 Jukebox. I couldn't and CAN'T hear it enough. I even sang it at the family reunion with members of my- and my Uncle Al's band. My oldest "Squirrelly Guy" brother was there. Have a blessed day, all Y'all!

Well Toby,I fear it's not gonna be long,I'm 62 now,I might not live to see it,but the traders we have in political power now,are slowly letting people from other countrys come in,say we're offended by the American flag,by God in our schools,by the statues you have and the white privledge they seem to say we have. On not predgidis,I welcome anyone to live in our country,but dont try to change it to what you left,or go back if you dont like our flag,that represents freedom at its highest level,well it used to,and dont put down my race,we fought in the north to free humans,and end slavery,yet I'm still called,snowflake and blamed with the southern leaders who tried to keep slavery,I'm offended by that,but ot matters not,but fighten side of me,was always and will remain in my heart with the same feeling as our Anthem,God help America,,a n.v d stop this offended over everything attitudes or please escort them all back to there birth countrys!😪
Amazing these 2 are what country is all about, RIP guys 😢 never gonna be the same without you 2
God Bless Merle. A Great American Citizen. A True American Hero.
And Toby finished the tour for him. Always been a minor fan of Toby, and this just made me appreciate him more. (good lord, he's one beefy dude)

I love the entrance walk of keith and then the chemistry between the two of them simply fantantic stuff.
I love the nod merle gave to toby on you buddy. Gotta love it
Toby Keith is now one of my top ten country singers, two bad asses up there doing what they do best and sharing the gifts, thank you!
Hell Yeah Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try listening most of his songs
the critics of this country need to listen to this song.
DAMN it, I sure didn't need to see this on a beautiful day. Hurts be dang it we better be thankful we had these two legends that didn't give a DAMN about what you thought and ALWAYS supported our military! Thank you MERLE AND TOBY!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
These two friends are on the stage together,again ❤
I have seen Merle haggard in person at the forum in 1988. When I first saw Alabama in person. Merle was great on stage, I have been a country fan since 1980. When I first my favorite country radio station in Palmdale California with my parents, than then we moved to San Fernando valley California
Two patriots who didnt care who knew it. RIP Merle, we miss you. Thank you Tobey for standing up for what you believe in. Dont see that much in the world of celebrities these days, at least not conservatives. God bless America

@@tobykeith4915 Just one old patriotic country boy to another. Love the music, love the attitude, and love the fact you have the balls to back it all up. As a Marine Corps vet, I appreciate the respect and gratitude you show to military and our vets. Also love the way you don't let society dictate your life and beliefs. Keep on keepin on my brother. God bless America
Loved Merle Haggard, and he will always be remembered as the best!!! I Love Toby Keith too one awesome singer musician, American! Two of the best!❤❤❤❤❤❤
To the people out there who just might not know what’s REALLY good....well, listen to this. This is REALLY good!
They both are playing guitars, plugged in (toby's wireless) and in the correct key. They're both pros and players as well as singers. Anyone who can write and sing 20 plus number 1 hits knows damn well how to play his guitar.
Hurts so much Toby not here with us ,Welove him forever ,Only one of you. The best !
That is a great to see them both together. That old stud can run with Toby
So sad they are both gone❤
Very patriotic. Great singing. Greeting from a country fan from Bangalore India.
Good on you love Helen
Toby loved his friend, Merle Haggard.
Linda música 🎶
Thank You Merle for your Music
Drove from Nashville to Dallas to see Merle in 1983. Best road trip ever.
What hit homes with me with this song is that the ones that are running down the country ARE the ones that are running our country that to me is saddest of all God bless America and God always bless the Hag! RIP Brother!

I Love Mighty Merle Haggard !!! I have all my life. I am 57 yrs old and still think I sound pretty darn close to his sound. I have had the opportunity of singing on stage at Printers Alley with his son Marty. Was a great time !! would like to do a guitar with Merle and some of his songs. Jerry London
Two of my favorite singers in the world, signing together no less!❤🎶🎶🎶💖💖🎸
Hey love how Toby showing Respect!
Yes. Thank God he Toby Keith stood by him in hard times
@@carolnethery6978 Good to hear your kind and encouraging words helps me do better. Its because of fans like you I'm here today. It’s always a pleasure to be able to entertain you and other fans. Thanks for all the love and support, may the lord bless and guide you. Have you been to any of my shows?
Toby really loved Merle, both Oklahoma boys. Merle was raised in my hometown of Bakersfield. Toby played all of Merle's songs when he was too ill to sing em. Merle always the common man didn't want to cancel the concert at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Due to all the hardworking folks that would have lost money that evening. He asked Toby on stage, " How many of my songs do you know? Toby replied, "All of em."
This is pure Country Music, love it and die loving it.
My oldest brother... An Air Force SPEC OPS Medic- 2 tours in 'nam, grew to be a Liberal... Joined 'em, instead of fighting them. I was all of thirteen. He could tell I was bleeding RWB. He asks me, America, love it or leave it? I defiantly said, "YOU BET!" I asked him where he got that. Dad. WWII Infantry Hero. A REAL Hero, who rescued POWs from that human wasteland of Bataan. My warrior-father. Merle fan. He told me about the song. So I bought it at our local Osco. Dad put it in our Seeburg 100 Jukebox. I couldn't and CAN'T hear it enough. I even sang it at the family reunion with members of my- and my Uncle Al's band. My oldest "Squirrelly Guy" brother was there. Have a blessed day, all Y'all!
Greatest song that Merle published
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
How Ill choose to remember Toby!! ❤
