Yeah, I really had hoped that we would get this tune on Election Day! Thanks for the great request, Jason. I remember hearing this song often on the weekend request shows back in the 90's on the local Country Station in our area. Remained heavily requested by listeners, even though it came out in 1981. Became a personal favorite of mine. I would have given it at least a 9.0. Kind of surprised it didn't make it into the 9's Don?
The President line was "supposedly" a hat tip to Ronald Reagan, who pardoned Merle. There are a few recordings of Merle doing private shows for Ronny and Nancy!

Don with you holding up 10 fingers on the still photo made me think you were giving it a 10 before I watched it.
