Dan, your song popped up on my FB, I listened. It kicked me in the guts. I don't know who your manager is, but they or somebody needs to promote this song, NOW, I'm 71 years old and predicted that Willie Nelson (after seeing him on the Ernest Tubb show) would be one of country music greatest! Dan, I predict the same for you. Gosh I wish I were younger and had an extra million dollars! Find somebody, this is your time!! Good Luck!

[@janiswarne8448]

Oh yeah, and your song Arizona is dynamite!!! And I live in Tucson!

I really like your jingle, jangle song. I grew up in the 60's when there was riots in Detroit mi. I wish there was a tab for this song. I'm learning it from watching your video. Big like!

[@egvines]

Ana Lee clued me in to your music. We should play a set or two together when the world permits

[@wendyherr5671]

Great song Dan, can you give us the lyrics I sent it to my 83 yr young Mom and she is very hard of hearing she said she can’t get it all but what she can make out she really likes. Great song I love it

[@danorourke9568]

A knee to neck is something you can't forget when you see it once
A bullet while running, did they do it just fun, I’ve got a hunch
It's the same old story, you would’ve thought we moved along
Now everybody points the finger saying which side are you on?
Is it the side of judgment, with the eyes of God staring you down hard?
Is it the side love? Martin Luther only came so far
Is it the side of JFK, who saw all the broken cogs that made the wheel?
Whatever side you’re on, don't let the devil make the deal
Riots on the street, I’m feeling like I've seen all this before
Buildings burning down, but the one who wears the crown does nothing more
than instigating enemies. Turning every friend to foe
There’s so many ways of thinking, which way will ya go?
Is it the side of judgment, with the eyes of God staring you down hard?
Is it the side love? Martin Luther only came so far
Is it the side of JFK, who saw all the broken cogs that made the wheel?
Whatever side you’re on, don't let the devil make the deal
To all those blinded by a privilege, brainwashed into thinking nothings wrong
And those hearts filled with hatred, knowing nothings changed for far too long
Well now has come the time to look and see just who you are
Yes its history in the making, will say you did your part?
Are you on the side of judgment, with the eyes of God staring you down hard?
Are you on the side of love? Martin Luther only came so far
Are you on the side of JFK, who saw all the broken cogs that made this real?
Whatever side you’re on, don't let the devil make the deal
Whatever side you’re on, don't let the devil make the deal

[@wendyherr5671]

Dan O'Rourke thank you so much Dan. God Bless you

[@TheNorsky1]

Kind of like Arlo Guthrie?

[@wendyherr5671]

True

[@TheApeman01]

To those blinded by privilege? Could you be referring to that mythical "White Privilege " ? Or did I hear that lyric wrong?

[@joangrawolfe6701]

Dan, This song is incredibly powerful. I would like to play it. Could you please provide me with the chords?? I am having trouble viewing them. I'm on FB or you could pm me. Thank you in advance. Joan Grawolfe

[@joangrawolfe6701]

Dan, was able to put it all together with a little help from a friend. Peace!!
