I got hurt at work several years ago and was bleeding out in a hurry. The guy that stopped the bleeding, and made this typing possible, came from the WV coal mines. This song always reminds me of that. I'm a country boy but I couldn't help myself, thank God there was another one there.

I am not from your country, Brilliant song, the message translates here too, but what is a trotline I had a look online, is it basically a method for catching a catfish? Sounds fun.
@@ChrisInToonA trot line is basically a long paracord type rope with hooks hanging off of it every foot or so on swivels. You basically tie the rope off to a good tree on both sides of a river or a creek, then bait the hooks, and tie a good weight off in the middle of the rope and sink it in the river. Then you wait several hours and hope the trash fish, snakes, or turtles aren't eating all your bait before the good eating fish find it and get hooked on the trot line. We used to use little perch or crawfish for bait. That's one way to bait and set a trot line. Probably many ways to use one ..Like putting a big jug on the end of it that won't sink and tie an anchor off to the jug if you don't have a tree to use..
I would hope you support the 2A. When the Black Panthers started walking around with their AK47s (as was their gd right) suddenly the idea of "gun control" was born. Google it. The last thing the government wanted to see was a group of people they had previously oppressed with no problems suddenly exercising their rights in a serious way.
@@evangraveley7625 Man..thats the truth. I quit 20 yr ago..and wish I wouldnt have ever drank the 1st one. I havent had fun since I quit though. Now mary jane is about legal..that will keep you home watchin tv..keep a man out of trouble. Bout anybody hears this song one time..theyll want to hear it again..that is..if they ever had any mud on their boots.
Oh lemme tell ya. The way things are goin.....Country folks will be the ones to survive. We'll be the ones carrying the flag for the future. The spirit that built this country.
This song is just what my Grandpa instilled in me. The belief that you can do whatever you set your mind on. He served in WW2 and fought in the jungles of the Phillipines. Was a Deacon in his church. Could do anything, from creating patents,playing bass in his country band (The Peacemakers) to building his own boats to commercial fish when he retired. He taught me how to survive in this world and he meant the world to me. God bless him, he was a great man.
Canadian here commenting from the east coast in Nova Scotia, I’m 23 and university educated, but I grew up with my father & mother who came from blue collar small coal mining and industry towns; it’s hard to find friends who are educated and looking forward who also remember the messages of songs such as this. I listen to newer pop and rap etc., but I’ll always find true solace in guys like Hank Williams Sr & Jr., Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, and many others. There is no brand or label to put on music like this other than that it speaks truthfully about the North American underbelly. I will continue to be as gracious as I can be to anyone I meet, and try to provide for myself where and when I can. God bless everyone listening, and that’s coming from a non-religious person.
Music has no color white reds,black Hispanic Cherokee Russian Chinese or all musik in this,world. Music is music stop the hate on different cultures i listen to all music. I like Korean music, jamican music, techno music gospel music, good music is good music . Rap music jazz music . All kinds of music i listen too . Good music is good music. I still listen to them when i can stop the hate on different culture music musik . Gezz
In bidens America and as a result many other parts of the world, things are starkly similar to how they were at the time of the release of this song. If ever there was a time in the future from when this was released, that would coincide with the state of America and the world, it’s probably right now in 2024
I remember this song from a young age, living in a house trailer on a farm in north Ga. as the son of a 70's USMC Vet.along with a 50's Army Uncle and a Grandpa born in 1910, learned a-lot from them and other family... We did the best we could and still do the best we can... Learned a-lot and still do; We Will Survive. Praise to the Mighty Name of Jesus!
I am a Mexican born and blessed U.S citizen naturalized and blessed and proud of this country thank you United States 🇺🇸 for letting me be Me ooooo and let’s take America back

@@tommyd4325 You got alot of growing to do. The democrats have allowed 20 million new illegal immigrants into the USA since 2020 from over 100 countries in the world. Do you want to pay for that. Not only that but they are bringing in drugs which our killing our people. Fentanyl killed one of my best friends thats made in china and brought into america through the cartels on the southern border. Biden reversed all the immigration policy trump had established. How old are you? Im 34 years old and have the democrats destroy my this country my family faught and died for. You got alot of balls commenting on a hank williams jr song about America, wanting to bring people in here that werent born here. Good for the guy above who became a legal citizen, but for the millions of illegals that have recently come here. They need to go back to where they came from. You need to do your research and really look at all the facts, not comment based upon how you feel.
@@tommyd4325 The majority of Republicans don't want to completely shut down the border and stop good people from coming to chase the American dream.

And may God bless all Latinos who love this country and live good lives. I was a blond/blue redneck surfer when I grew up in So Cal. But 1/2 my best friends were latinos there. I found out they were good people, hard working and good family people !! Arriba !!
My family was Daniel Boones best friend. He was a Massey. He ran with Daniel Boone. I swear to God. I have my whole family history right here. My Massey home place is at Slaughters Creek. I can find his name. Right now. We're big time hunters too. It's literally in our blood.

@@kwebb4078bn yes sir. Some will never understand the upbringing that we have. Nor will they understand that to be country means we fend for ourselves, and not rely on other's to do things we can either do, or learn to do. I don't blame you for not responding to them
My 8 year old son loves this song the first time he heard it he was hooked. It just tells me I’m raising him right in this confused and twisted world. ✝️🇺🇸💪
I live in the west of Ireland now...but I weep for the USA..a place where I worked and travelled and played many years ago. This song pictures the USA that I remember and loved...God bless Y,all.

American has a rebel heart and soul that craves freedom in every form. Long live our republic. Sister you can travel anywhere in this country, be respected, and loved for being a good person. Average every day Americans don't make everything a race issue, the politicians do. We need more hard patriots like you here. I pray for your safety and strength.
I‘m a 80 year old SF resident but my heart is basically country. This week I cast a vote for a good ol‘ boy since I‘m proud to be an American. God bless the red white & blue. 🤣🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
I work for a welding supply company..am am floored how these country boys can rip out an engine,weld on new doors,fix some tractor,grow their own weed... Hank Jr was so right
I can honestly say that the man sings great stories about being from the south. I've seen him in concert in stadiums and at the river front of the Ohio and it's always a great show. Even though his music and his father's sound different I'm sure that he's proud of the hard work and sacrifices that jr. has made the legend that he is in country music.
Shoot, every time I hear this song, I feel a little more badass! I don't think you can get any more American that this song. Grew up listening to Hank and I'll die listening to Hank.
I'm a city guy from Argentina, and you can't imagine how much this song brings a tear into my eye. It gives me strength to tolerate all this madness in todays society. Everything is in the shitter right now, but I stand firm on my roots and beliefs. This song is an anthem.
Thank you Hank! I cant hold the tears back when I hear this song. The true American in me feels every note because we all know the true meaning behind what Bocephus is singing about! God Bless the USA!
Country don't have a race or color. Country folks are honest, hard-working people who love this country, and don't care about what those who don't think.
This song is so timely. The difference between folks in the country and folks in the city, generally, include values, faith, self reliance and community. While there are exceptions on each side, I’ll take my chances in the country any day.
Why do you think that? UA-cam and MSM will have deleted this . ... BTW, I wish you were right but even yesterdays news was deleted from people who did not agree .. AKA COMPLY.
@@obamapox8185 It's been on that track for over 40 years and some people are just now realizing it. And, yes many will never see it... until it's too late to be repaired, which is coming very soon. We've been trying to tell people but they've been calling us names and silencing our voices to try to discredit us. Turns out we were right all along.
This song is all about being self-sufficient and having the confidence in yourself to do what needs to be done. Sometimes what needs to be done is really difficult but it requires the courage and the muster to stand up and do it anyway. This song is an anthem to everyone on the planet who can be like that.
@@kevintrevors3921 nice! Yes it's very country. The Canadians call us the cold water cowboys lol. We are very patriotic people even tho we are Canadian we will always call ourselves Newfoundlanders.
These lyrics ring true. We are losing true country folk daily. Hard working self reliant people, who aren’t afraid of hard work, getting dirty, have manners, have common sense, love our country, our history, make sacrifices, have grit, Etc. We are losing true MEN. Our country is in trouble.
Amen! Tennessee gal here. My grandma and grandpa could do absolutely anything. Taught my mama how to survive, be a real lady and mama. My daddy had a 6th grade education and was one of the smartest men I’ve ever known and was self made. Mountain people can survive!!
Mama had a 7th grade and Daddy a 9th grade education.Mama could keep books penciled no calculator for $$$$$$ and Daddy read ag magazines with high reading comprehension.
As a Western Canadian this song has become my anthem especially after Trudeau tried to starve out the truckers and make them run. When a friend said he didn't know if he should go to Ottawa and be with the truckers I tried to repeat what William Wallace said in Braveheart. "We will all regret not going and on our deathbeds we will wish we could go back and be with them and stand against Tyranny. God Bless America
My late husband loved this song. There wasn’t much he couldn’t do. We rarely had to hire someone to fix anything. He knew how to plant a garden and explained to me what a trot line was. Covid got him in the end and he is greatly missed.
Don't bring your blue attitude!!! you left for a reason!! Don't repeat your mistakes in red states. has nothing to do with who is in office but how we live.
@@thomasgirty6397 I'm a republican through and through. Dems only win NY because of the NYC having more illegals than legal voters and get much more electorals. Go outside the city limits and they're mostly red and rednecks who know how to live.
Reminds me of my dad. He was a hunter and a fisherman. He lost his life due to cancer over 20 years ago. I miss him so much. He was my step dad, but I never seen it that way. Best dad in the world. Miss you, dad!! Hope to see you soon. Love you. ❤
English country boy here from Saddle Bow, Norfolk. Love this piece. My Grandad often spoke of our American cousins in the deep south. Many of them were stationed here during WW2, he would bring them them pheasant shooting and trouting on the Norfolk Broads. There were many a sad heart here when some perished on the beaches of Northern France. Thanks to the many thousands of Americans who laid down their lives to free my country.
Thank you it is great to see good ole boys from all over the world and also my grandpa was one of those men on the beach, so from him to me to you thank you for that!! God bless you and one day you might live out your dream in America!
I miss living like this. May this song ring STRONG to REAL Americans. If you are reading this, you are the last resistance to a change that will make you suffer.
This is the heart of America. Those who make it work Those who came before Who gave us this chance Those who assure our future Just because my grandfather's blood has been washed away by sand and time Doesn't mean I have forgotten what he fought for. How about you... Have you forgotten?
Hank jr is way better than his father ever could've been as far as music goes. Love em both but gotta go with jr on this one. No hate for the godfather of country though so be nice
Goosebumps!! I have never heard this song before today! wow, playin it on repeat! love the harmonica in the background, GREAT song, God bless you Hank Williams Jr! tfs Patara-big hugs.
I moved to the country one year before this video was posted with no job. Money was tight but we did find a little house we could buy outright, just my wife and me and our dogs. It was a magical time. Eventually I quit trying to replace what I had and started playing fiddle again after 50 years.
I was born and raised in Arizona as a country/city boy. I've pretty much lived all of this great tune except I never lost a friend to a switchblade knife. But I tell ya, if I had he would not be breathing anymore.
God Bless us all. Country People. I live in a city called Duluth, MN. It's not Duluth anymore, it's Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis... But I am a country girl, I walk down the street with my held high. They don't know what I have in my pocket. 2 inches over and 3 inches down ain't never going to. Country girl! downtown.. Almost 60!
Country Folks are a Country of Folks where ones Color Creed & Nationality are Meaningless if one is a dedicated Folk of the Country its how the Country of Folks Will Survive
I'm more of a mountain boy then a country boy (Northern California) but man let me tell ya Hank Jr. hit the nail on the head with this one. I love being self sufficient as much as I can, I've learned a lot about agriculture from my pops, I've learned a lot about cars and trucks and repairing shit, learned a lot about nature and being outdoors, and most importantly I learned to respect people and respect myself. I have a lot more to learn but the Williams family's music inspires me to be a good man. And respect to everyone surviving today's bullshit and bettering themselves as they go on. Keep strong people!
This is our American culture. Hard work and self reliance. Do not let them take it, do not let them take if from your children. If this goes, our country will go.
Iam from Pa. And moved to FL. and the southern people, are as mean as the North, we've been treated like dirt I moved hear for the hospitality, that we didnt get from the north, but that never happened, because we love everyone esp the southern people, but to no avail.
Sounds like you ran into some northerners. After all, they live to change things wherever they move, just like liberals and they’re constantly moving south for some reason. So check yourself before blaming southerners.

I'm 58 and this song is excellent.
I am a african american and I can relate to this song. Straight from North Carolina. If it is broke we can fix it.
Let’s hope we can fix this broken country
Can I ask, where you born in Africa? If not, why not just say American. It would be like me saying I'm, Danish, Irish, Scottish, English, Australian. Sounds stupid. Anyway, most successful African American is Elon musk.
Amen! Brother. I'm from a small town in Indiana living in Colorado Springs now. People thinks it's crazy i can fix cars, do electrical work, and plumbing. What's crazy to me is how many people can't do even the basics

@@kwebb4078bn yes sir. Some will never understand the upbringing that we have. Nor will they understand that to be country means we fend for ourselves, and not rely on other's to do things we can either do, or learn to do. I don't blame you for not responding to them
My 8 year old son loves this song the first time he heard it he was hooked. It just tells me I’m raising him right in this confused and twisted world. ✝️🇺🇸💪
Amen brother!
I did too!!! Make it stick
You really are raising him right, my parents had me listening to this kind of music when I was younger too and I sure ain't ashamed of it.

Average every day Americans don't make everything a race issue, the politicians do. We need more hard patriots like you here. I pray for your safety and strength.

Thank You Hank Jr, I'm country born and raised. I can survive i have 71 yrs !
I‘m a 80 year old SF resident but my heart is basically country. This week I cast a vote for a good ol‘ boy since I‘m proud to be an American. God bless the red white & blue. 🤣🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
From one country boy to another, thank you Hank.
Can't hear these songs any more it's all bubble gum music
Probably one of the best songs ever made.
I work for a welding supply company..am am floored how these country boys can rip out an engine,weld on new doors,fix some tractor,grow their own weed...
Hank Jr was so right
And, you can't forget, we are armed, to the teeth, we are the largest unofficial army in the world!
I'm black, and this goes to my soul too!
Every time I listen to this song, it gets a little more badass.
I put it on repeat and power up!
Thanks for the love and support
@@hankwilliamsjr7970 and you didnt even type out his name right
I can honestly say that the man sings great stories about being from the south. I've seen him in concert in stadiums and at the river front of the Ohio and it's always a great show. Even though his music and his father's sound different I'm sure that he's proud of the hard work and sacrifices that jr. has made the legend that he is in country music.
Shoot, every time I hear this song, I feel a little more badass! I don't think you can get any more American that this song. Grew up listening to Hank and I'll die listening to Hank.
I'm a city guy from Argentina, and you can't imagine how much this song brings a tear into my eye. It gives me strength to tolerate all this madness in todays society. Everything is in the shitter right now, but I stand firm on my roots and beliefs. This song is an anthem.
Here s to you. We can survive.
respect from northern california 🇺🇸🤝🇦🇷
God bless you man!
Are economy is on fire. Come here legal and get a good government job. After 4 yes we make 120k
Young men survive on strength and the old on wisdom.
Thank you Hank! I cant hold the tears back when I hear this song. The true American in me feels every note because we all know the true meaning behind what Bocephus is singing about! God Bless the USA!
GOD BLESS COUNTRY BOYS AN COUNTRY WOMAN.
Im a metal head musician but this guy is one of my roots❤
Love it, man. Long live rock and long live Bocephus! Cheers!
@@metalmechanic55 Amen to that! 🤘🏼
How did you get into music? It always leads back to the great ones
Sing it Hank, as a black man from Alabama, this song is lit
and you love yourself some Trump!
Good to see it. People often conflate country and racist together.
Country don't have a race or color. Country folks are honest, hard-working people who love this country, and don't care about what those who don't think.
HEEEYYY. ANOTHER BAMA MAN!! HELL YEAH, BROTHER. ME TOO
Hell yeah
Such a true song, loving it, trust yourself folks, from the Netherlands.
This song is so timely. The difference between folks in the country and folks in the city, generally, include values, faith, self reliance and community. While there are exceptions on each side, I’ll take my chances in the country any day.
Two hundred years from now Americans will still be enjoying this song!!!!
Why do you think that? UA-cam and MSM will have deleted this . ... BTW, I wish you were right but even yesterdays news was deleted from people who did not agree .. AKA COMPLY.
@@obamapox8185 It's been on that track for over 40 years and some people are just now realizing it. And, yes many will never see it... until it's too late to be repaired, which is coming very soon. We've been trying to tell people but they've been calling us names and silencing our voices to try to discredit us. Turns out we were right all along.
Somebody will get offended some how and I y’all know it
I'm in Australia and it's a fukn awesome song 👍
Unfortunately humanity basically has pretty much no chance to be around in 200 years.
This song is all about being self-sufficient and having the confidence in yourself to do what needs to be done. Sometimes what needs to be done is really difficult but it requires the courage and the muster to stand up and do it anyway. This song is an anthem to everyone on the planet who can be like that.
💯 Let's go
That's why I live in Alaska
And the stronger your community the easier to muster.
Damn right by God!!
Amen Brother, amen 👍
God bless you Hank...
2024 who’s listening? I got CBCS country boy can survive tattooed on my left arm. Lets gooooo!!
There is no other song that captures the current times as clearly as this one does. Hank is prophetic.
Well said

I am from Newfoundland, Canada and this song speaks to every Newfoundlander & Labradorian. We can survive 💪
My Grandmother was from there and she was as country as you can get !

Hello how are you doing 😊😊
We are doing!! Hang in there!! God help US!!
@@Fires755 for sure so where are you from
These lyrics ring true. We are losing true country folk daily. Hard working self reliant people, who aren’t afraid of hard work, getting dirty, have manners, have common sense, love our country, our history, make sacrifices, have grit,
Etc. We are losing true MEN. Our country is in trouble.
Amen! Tennessee gal here. My grandma and grandpa could do absolutely anything. Taught my mama how to survive, be a real lady and mama. My daddy had a 6th grade education and was one of the smartest men I’ve ever known and was self made.
Mountain people can survive!!
Mama had a 7th grade and Daddy a 9th grade education.Mama could keep books penciled no calculator for $$$$$$ and Daddy read ag magazines with high reading comprehension.
Yes, and we have thousands of invaders pouring in, and they are not about this culture
Always makes me teary
PREACH !
As a Western Canadian this song has become my anthem especially after Trudeau tried to starve out the truckers and make them run. When a friend said he didn't know if he should go to Ottawa and be with the truckers I tried to repeat what William Wallace said in Braveheart. "We will all regret not going and on our deathbeds we will wish we could go back and be with them and stand against Tyranny. God Bless America
From regina Saskatchewan canada and my gf❤❤❤❤❤
As a fellow Canadian I share you sentiments, but guess what when the dollar collapses and society crashes it is country boys that will survive.
So many from USA supported what our northern brothers were doing ! Proud of the way you held the line !
Honk Honk from America
As a Scotsman's i can confirm
My late husband loved this song. There wasn’t much he couldn’t do. We rarely had to hire someone to fix anything. He knew how to plant a garden and explained to me what a trot line was. Covid got him in the end and he is greatly missed.
I'm sorry for your loss, friend. May his memory be a blessing.
I am so sorry.... I pray the Lord will blanket you with peace, Love and protection.....

English country boy here from Saddle Bow, Norfolk. Love this piece. My Grandad often spoke of our American cousins in the deep south. Many of them were stationed here during WW2, he would bring them them pheasant shooting and trouting on the Norfolk Broads. There were many a sad heart here when some perished on the beaches of Northern France. Thanks to the many thousands of Americans who laid down their lives to free my country.
@mattclarke Praise you, praise your gratitude. So few think about or remember the tremendous price paid by so many!! Merry Christmas.
Thank you. Happy New Year.
Thank you for your wonderful comment,,, so blessed to be a true country girl, I would love to copy & paste your comment for all the world to see.
Thank you it is great to see good ole boys from all over the world and also my grandpa was one of those men on the beach, so from him to me to you thank you for that!! God bless you and one day you might live out your dream in America!

I miss living like this. May this song ring STRONG to REAL Americans. If you are reading this, you are the last resistance to a change that will make you suffer.

I moved to the country one year before this video was posted with no job. Money was tight but we did find a little house we could buy outright, just my wife and me and our dogs. It was a magical time. Eventually I quit trying to replace what I had and started playing fiddle again after 50 years.
I love fiddle and bluegrass. I have a few acres in the gold country and I pray to God I get to live there one day.

I'm more of a mountain boy then a country boy (Northern California) but man let me tell ya Hank Jr. hit the nail on the head with this one. I love being self sufficient as much as I can, I've learned a lot about agriculture from my pops, I've learned a lot about cars and trucks and repairing shit, learned a lot about nature and being outdoors, and most importantly I learned to respect people and respect myself. I have a lot more to learn but the Williams family's music inspires me to be a good man. And respect to everyone surviving today's bullshit and bettering themselves as they go on. Keep strong people!

This is our American culture. Hard work and self reliance. Do not let them take it, do not let them take if from your children. If this goes, our country will go.
Iam from Pa. And moved to FL.
and the southern people, are as mean as the North, we've been treated like dirt I moved hear for the hospitality, that we didnt get from the north, but that never happened, because we love everyone esp the southern people, but to no avail.
Sounds like you ran into some northerners. After all, they live to change things wherever they move, just like liberals and they’re constantly moving south for some reason. So check yourself before blaming southerners.
Because you move here build on land that used to be woods and vote democrat!!!! Go home!
Country boys can survive
