Church, Eric - Pledge Allegiance To The Hag Lyrics
There's a little dive on a dead-end road
Called the Cross-Eyed Cricket Waterin' Hole
Where you can hear the sound of a steel guitar
And get loud and rowdy on PBR
But at the top of every hour, man you can hear a pin drop
And plays Merle on the jukebox and we stop and
Tip our hats and raise our glasses of cold cold beer
They say country's fading
But we're still waving that flag around here
When it's time to go you know you're welcome back
Where the people pledge allegiance to the Hag
When the weekend comes and the weather's clear
There's a high spot fifteen miles from here
With the windows down and radio up
We sit there poppin' tops, shootin' bull and singin' songs
But you can bet your boots that when Haggard comes on
Tip our hats and raise our glasses of cold cold beer
They say country's fading
But we're still waving that flag around here
When it's time to go you know you're welcome back
Where the people pledge allegiance to the Hag
One of these days when my time has come
You can take me back to where I'm from
Put me on a westbound train
And ship me off in the pourin' rain
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
Just put a quarter in the jukebox and sing me back home and
Tip your hats and raise your glasses of cold cold beer
They say country's fading
But just keep waving that flag around here
And I know it'll keep on coming back
As long as people pledge allegiance
Where folks still pledge allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the Hag

Church, Eric Pledge Allegiance To The Hag Comments
People are stupid
Mr.Church
Your fucking awesome
Whoever thumbs down this is a little **** or to be PC (has a opinitive voice ) Ha!
We turn it up loud in Kentucky
Man this is country Eric my friend you nailed it.The Hag is smiling.
This sucks.
I love cold PBR and Old Country music.... Not todays pop country wack shit!
Country is fading, this crap is proof. The Hag wouldn't call this country, I'm sorry.
Awesome song about one of the best musicians ever
2018???
We tip our hats and raise our glasses of cold cold beer
They say country’s fading but we’re still waving that flag around here
I pledge my allegance to the Hag! 4everHagfan singmebackhome
Make a. Haggard. Flag. !! They. Should. Have. Merle. Haggard. Day. More. Important. To. A lot. Of. People. ( then. Some. Of the. Days. We celebrate. Now ) HAG. DAY. 4-6. 2019. ALL AMERICAN. MUSIC. N HIS. DNA.
RIP to the Hag. No musician will ever be as great
Wow theres actually a place i know called the crossed eyed cricket. Its in TN. Loudon county. Awesome!
RIP!!!🍻
I love listening to this song with my friends while we are all sitting around the fire in the beds of our trucks
There's a reason they don't play this on the radio. It's about the core of our country, loving our country, and how "we're still waving that flag around here". It's too patriotic and true. So instead we get Kane Brown.
Geoff Wilson There's all kinds of patriotic bullshit on modern country radio.
Fuck that hybrid bitch
While I agree this is an awesome song let’s use some sense here bro this was a filler track on an album 10 years ago not gonna be on he radio
Well said friend
His best song by far and he has some great ones
patriotism??? Just so you Plebs know what you salute? Merle was a CRIMINAL NATURALLY BORN, into a race of much larger monsters. Merle's own mother narked him out as incorrigible to the local police @ age 11. What a life story? Then he was jailed 6 more times (7 in total) before hearing Johnny Cash play at San Quinine around the age of 20. Most of Merle's songs are not about driving your Semi to work and patriotism?
I played this song for my father he's 90 years old and he loved it just as much as I do his favorite singer is Merle Haggard and I think it's interesting that my mother's favorite was Waylon Jennings and I believe Eric is a descendant of Waylon so to me Eric Church is my parents full circle!!Thank you!!
only Eric church could have made this song!
the man is the best lyricist of today and country music.
Merle is and will always be a legend
Still the best song ever
I had no idea merel sang in this song until listening to it just now! how have I not noticed? we love you merel! I pledge allegience to you!
awesome song
We Love Ya Merle! RIP
The best part is Merle's part which sounds like classic Hag. I could listen to that verse for days...
It reminds me of my grandpa who passed in 2014 he sounds the same. They were the same guy!
rest in piece merl haggard
thucomentario. perotusancho asrmtarde
glasses up to the Hag...
R.I.P. Mr Haggard

Beautiful song, and a fitting tribute to a wonderful, talented, humble man.
Well said
I turly tip my hats to the Hag rip Merle.

R.I.P Merle. Gone but not forgotten ol' man <3 [><]
This song is a perfect tribute to play right now.

RIP hag
See you soon Merle
Rest in peace sir
merle haggard just died today...... RIP ol' son!! this is a memorial song but it has been out for like a long time!!
Ruthie Finney i love merle haggard
RIP Merle
For all you people hating on this song, it's a memorial song. It's not talking about the regular girls, dip, and trucks. It's just talking about what a great man this person was.
+Christian Board Damn right!! I will ALWAYS Pledge Allegiance to the HAG!!!
+Christian Board relax, man.
actually, song was out before Merle passed, goes with other songs Eric's done like lotta boot left to fill. Was a tribute to both the greats and a nod to those dives you can find a jukebox full of classic and outlaw country.
Now, this is indeed a great memorial song, just not its original intent.
One of these days when my time has come, you can take me back to where I'm from. Put me on a westbound train, ship me off in the pourin' rain. RIP Merle!
We will never forget the Hag! RIP :/
We'll mis you, Merle.
Don't cry for me when i'm gone, just put a quarter in the juke box, and sing me back home.
I pledge allegiance to the Hag.
RIP.
damn right this is my favorite song
James Cunningham )
rest in peace merle, you are a legend.
Listening to this song about to cry. #RIP
When it's time to go, just know you're welcome back.. rip
Taylor Butler nice tag! CANADA!

Rest in Peace, merle
RIP to the legend
We definitely need this song ON THE RADIO#1 FOR SURE!
cody and becca wells forever. Awesome!
never we are through
The hag is the best
good song!
This song is awesome
JMDewald you do realize Eric probably wrote the lyrics for Merle right? So your point makes no sense.
Eric Church is soo awesome, he's the king of country for ME
This new YouTube mobile update sucks balls
Ill smoke a newport for u merle amd chug a beer
2:40 if you're here to listen to Merle.
*Checks this song out because Merle Haggard sings on it*
I have an idea of what I'm going to get listening to this song, and I was mostly correct. An unremarkable vocal coupled with watered-down, simple lyrics and a forgettable melody.
*Goes back to not listening to Eric Church*
Look up Haggard's *KERN RIVER*, the live version where he debuts the song on TV, to hear some real country.
I'm not hating Church, but this music they call country today is a pale shadow of what it once was.
Dip redseal bitches
@JoshuaBassler you are obviously intelligent because you use cuss words in your comments so congratulations on having more brains than everyone else here
Smoken bud shut the fuck up you apparently don't know shit
Throwin in a lip of copenhagen straight to this song damn good one
2:43-2:59
This song fucking sucks
Love ittttttt!!!
Throw in a dip and grab a beer and put this song on shuffle yall!
Why wouldnt we? Talking about their family being country, thats what people WANT to hear now from all the crap goin around like rap and pop.
I care :(
WEEEEEEWWW 'MERICA! you best be dippin grizzly brother
Love the Hag.. and Eric Church Its great Eric pays respect to one of our greatest country music gifts - Merle Hagaard
Got a dip in my lip just hanging round the house blasting this song and drinking some budweiser!
No one cares lol
