Lyrics Who's Taking Care of Number One - Hank Williams Jr.

Who's Taking Care of Number One

I wanna dedicate this song to every workin' man and woman in this country
And to everyone that’s tryin' to run a business and constantly punished
Taxed and regulated by the federal government
I’m gonna call up a talk show
I’m gonna give 'em a piece
I don’t give a damn about Iran
Or the Middle East
Though they’ve been fightin' for about two thousand years, you see
And we send billions to Mexico and Zimbabwe
Well, I think it’s time for America to watch her own store
So here is my question to everyone
Who is taking care of number one?
New Hampshire got it right, live free or die
Don’t tread on us and tell us how to run our lives
No matter where you go
Everyone would like to know
Can Washington D.C. mind the store?
Is there a soul still down on the farm?
And who is taking care of number one?
Our glorious leader just got back from China and Japan
Where he gave away our job, put us down and sold out our plans
Well people here at home are tired of fail programs and loans
I believe they’re ready to change all this stuff that’s going on
Yeah, it’s time for Americans to mind their own store
And here is my question for everyone
Who is taking care of number one?
New Hampshire got it right, live free or die
Don’t tread on us and try to run our lives
Now it don’t matter where you go
Everybody would like to know
Can Washington D.C. run a store?
(No)
Is there a soul still down on the farm?
And who is taking care of number one?
Don’t need to be giving all this money away to all them other folks
We need it right here at home
You know like two and two is four, do you get it?
