Prophetic Merle Haggard Song?

A new song that I first heard a few weeks ago... which includes the verse I present in bold:

Why don't we liberate these United States
We're the ones who need it the worst
Let the rest of the world help us for a change
And let's rebuild America first

Our highways and bridges are falling apart
Who's blessed and who has been cursed
There's things to be done all over the world
But let's rebuild America first

The attention (very little) that the song received initially was all on this line:

Let's get out of Iraq
and get back on the track
And let's rebuild America first...
