Hillary (Let's Put a Woman in Charge)
w&m Merle Haggard (2006)

Eight years in the White House
With the know-how we need
When you walk with a leader
You learn how to lead
And who kept her head high
When it could have been down
Who ran the show
When the scandal hit town
This country needs to be honest
Changes need to be large
Something like a big switch of gender
Let's put a woman in charge
Put a woman in charge of the Army
Put a woman in charge of the wheel
The country owes it to Hillary
And Hillary owes it to Bill

It was the first time Haggard voted in a national election since Ronald Reagan in '84 (who pardoned him in '72.) Some fans thought it was a joke they didn't get but nope, serious as a heart attack. (And it takes a real country boy to rhyme "wheel" and "Bill.")
