Annotation — Draft Songs
Man, The (Riddles, George) Bakersfield sound, country music. Pro-Nixon, patriotic, P.O.W.-related, references amnesty. Nixon wants to save the country - stop this Watergate scandal. He helped to end the war in Vietnam, brought back the P.O.W.s Great and humble man, our prayers will help him. No amnesty for draft dodgers, those who left in protest against Vietnam
