I always thought of this as a light and jovial song as a child, it's usually done in america upbeat and bright. when i discovered the history of the song, it's incredibly dark and sorrowful. it's a funeral dirge immortalizing the scottish dead during the rebellion wars 1680's. when the british crushed the rebellion, the scot fighters who werent killed were taken down to london to watch the leaders publicly hanged, then they were forced to march all the way back to scotland and many were executed along the way. "you take the high road" refers to dying and returning to scotland in spirit, and "i'll take the low road" refers to those who had to march back. |

that's true, i heard the urban legend is that he sat down with the black drummer and they wrote it together, and they were laughing their asses off. it's more of a joke song than anything |

| David Allen Coe – Fuck Anita Bryant Lyrics

This song's heavier than people think. You have to kind of be from an older generation to remember Anita Bryant, basically she was this Miss America bitch who's life mission was to prevent gay rights in the 1970's.
How David fit into this was, this song was sort of his 2 cents about the whole bull-shit thing, but in order to understand where he's coming from, you have to remember, David spent most of his young life in prison. In prison, homosexuality is seen differently, a lot of men in prison engage in homosexuality, and not just sexual assult which is the stereotype, there are full on love affairs between men in prison, and everyone pretty much takes it for granted. What I feel David is trying to say, is gay people are regular people just like the rest of us. Some gay men are killers, some are big, some are small, some are in between.... etc. |
