Sara Morgan, country artist and songwriter from Arkansas, has a great way of packing irony with truth and depth. Her voice with country-style guitar is the ideal instrument for the beautiful storytelling she brings through her music. The talented singer, who performed with country grandees like Loretta Lynn, originally wanted to become a professor of biblical studies.

Today we hear her singing a song that she has been performing for years, which recently gained considerable traction on social media with over a million views and 60,000 likes on Facebook. Listen, and you’ll know why!

Well, they're coming for them family farms and all them century old barns
They'll charge you till you can't afford to work your family land
Cuz you don't get to pass it down unless you wear some royal crown
Repayment for the revolution it's always been the plan

They track every single purchase that I make all year long
Take a dime from every dollar that I earn from every song
So I'm headed to the harbor think I'll just go back to barter
You can book me here right now I'll sing all night for half a cow
