Very powerful song! My father was born on a wind swept Kansas farm in 1930. Dust bowl, the depression and eight other kids to feed. And the rain came down,Thank GOD!
Truly one of those songs and videos where it's impossible to imagine the thought process that someone went through to click the thumbs down button. What the hell? Amazing piece of work from a classic story teller and song writer.
Saw Steve last night, naturally didn't sing this one, but I would've given all other 23 songs to have just heard this one. My all time favorite! Great lyrics. Americana at it's best!
Beautifully done song representing the little man that built an America we enjoy today My Ancestors down to my parents were farming folk A very real song to me The crushing blows that were endured when crops failed and we were left with nothing but scars and broken bones and only hope that next year'll be better
My hero, I gave up the devils buttermilk many years ago. Alcohol is the worst drug on this planet. I lost the first 40 years of my life but it won’t get the next 40,
Glad to hear you won your battle against alcohol, but opioids are really the worst of all drugs. I know. I struggle with it everyday. I'm a broken man.
The pictures are that era, but the song is inspired by Earle's ancestor who homesteaded in Texas in the 1800s. Then it goes through to later generations of the family, though his family did not actually lose the land. It is about the disappearance of small family farms today more than migrant workers. Of course some of those migrant families did lose family homesteads.
Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us like the rain, as the spring rains that water the earth.” -- Hosea 6:3
My Grandad came west in 1906 and settled down hard on a govt. Grant. Just as he was starting to make it the dust bowl and depression came along. His neighbors packed up but he stayed on and planned it back in. We still have the "ole Homestead" in the family.
My folks left Dirtpoor KY on the Hillbilly Highway. For 34 years Pops was an engineer and hauled rattlers from Detroit to Toledo and around Detroit. Amazingly black lung got him even though he escaped the coal mines. Diesel soot from the locomotives. Mom got a $3000. dollar check from the class action suit.
Good video. The first time I heard Steve Earl was back in early 86 when he put out guitar town. I was in the Air Force then. I was at Andersen AFB on the Island of Guam sandblasting bombs.
Steve Earl showed me that country music is great. I grew up on Rock'n Roll Jimi Eric and all that stuff but during the 1980s I was burned out, country music was way way too strait for this old hippy However as a musician I knew that those good ole boys could really play, they didn't hide mistakes behind a bank of Marshalls with lots of fuzzzz. One Christmas my missus gave me Exit O and Steve Earl and the Dukes dragged me into Country music kickin' and screaming and God bless her for it. I saw him and the Dukes playing in Sydney and they were awesome, I even bought a T-Shirt.
well done on the images....over the years i have collected interesting original photographs, cdv's, ambrotypes, tintypes, albumen prints and daguerreotypes, etc....these images were well thought out and placed in a flowing sequence...again....well done.
Nice work MLW, very well put together. 'Exit 0' (the album this cut is from) was the second CD I ever purchased back in '87 when they first came out, only for the song, 'I Ain't Ever Satisfied,' which my local station was playing. I later got head deep into Springsteen and John Hiatt and rarely pulled it off the shelf, and if I did, it was usually just, 'Satisfied.' I've been revisiting some of my old CDs recently and got to, 'Exit 0.' To borrow a quote from Ebeneezer Scrooge, in, 'A Christmas Carol,' "God forgive me for the time I've wasted."
I'm a big fan of Bruce & John too! Steve Earle is also a bug favorite of Mine. I enjoy all his CD's. I'm glad you enjoyed my little video. I enjoyed making it and was hoping I did it justice.
Was homesick for Ky..living in Florida ..Florida was great,but this song made me feel like my old Ky Home..beautiful writing and performance from the one and only Steve Earle!

Steve is one of the most underrated musicians around. This man’s music is American history. Been listening to him since 1988
I agree from rock to country to bluegrass and everything else.
The man is brilliant and actually in a class by himself.
He’s never been underrated by millions of us
Amen brother. 👍
@@thejigantics2641 Great answer 👍
Then someone please xplain to me how he can have this type of music but not represent the country folks any better than he does.
Very powerful song! My father was born on a wind swept Kansas farm in 1930. Dust bowl, the depression and eight other kids to feed. And the rain came down,Thank GOD!
Steve is a total legend. Never gave an inch. Never sold out.
I've been listening to Steve Earle since the early 80s, and I firmly believe he is the poet of our generation.
This song brings me to tears ‘cause folks are tryin’ to steal my Tennessee land. Please help me Lord. You ain’t takin’ my land!!!!!
Bruh we love TN from all over the states
Many prayers, this world is going to get us all.God Bless
Prayers for you.
This song and "Rain on the Scarecrow" bring me to tears every time. God bless the farmers!
Getting tickets to see him in Kingston, Ontario for July...YAY!
Cool! I got tickets to see him in July at Halifax! YAY!
One of the greatest songwriters of this generation. The man is brilliant. Been a fan from the begging. His music has changed my life for sure
For sure!❤

They must be some kind of genetic fuck up.
The thumbs down are just a product of bad taste and inbreeding
Pathetic result self centered disrespectful generation
71 souless wall street bankers.

I'll be going to see Steve on Sept 8th in Ft Lauderdale.
As a songwriter Earle is up there with Neil Young and Springsteen as one of the finest of the last 40 years
He's better than both of those guys!
@@jervistubemaybe but not quite as good as Shane Macgowan
No
@@jervistubedo you find the song ‘goodbye’ to belong in that category of ‘ better than other prominent talents’….because I wrote it..?
Beautifully done song representing the little man that built an America we enjoy today My Ancestors down to my parents were farming folk A very real song to me The crushing blows that were endured when crops failed and we were left with nothing but scars and broken bones and only hope that next year'll be better
Steve Earle is the best storyteller song writer ever.His songs break my heart and inspire me at the same time.Heres to you. Steve!!!
As a 5th generation farmer in Illinois this song hits home big time I’m sure any farmer can relate love Steve Earle lyrics great songwriter
My hero, I gave up the devils buttermilk many years ago. Alcohol is the worst drug on this planet. I lost the first 40 years of my life but it won’t get the next 40,

I agree completely I want to stop but I can't
Amen brother that's the truth. He's going to be ine of the legend mentioned throughout history. Just amazing musician
Steve Earle still rocks after it all good and bad come on let's give it up for the man
Steve Earle is the man. Listened to his songs for 30 years. Says it as it is, year after year.
Great video. My grandpa had his Sheriff's sale on Feb 14, 1938. Tough times.
Powerful line about the banker can have my machine...but you can't have my land.
Steve earl will always be a legend in his time doesn’t get the credit he deserves
one of the best songs ever written.. thanks SE !
the most important people there are, and hard work should always be rewarded and respected
This is about the Dust bowl and grapes of wrath .. read the book or find the movie...I am so impressed.

He’s up there with Dylan, Springsteen, Petty, Seger, Isbell. One I have missed, but I hope to see Steve before I’m gone.
I had never even heard of this guy until I listened to this song just now, a song that I love both for the lyrics and the beat. Really great!
Hope you went down the rabbit hole, there's a lot of ground to explore. 🤙
One greatest song and video. My mom parents were farmers.
Mine also. Really cool song. Beautiful.
Yes, farming and education for me. Building strong foundations.
being raised on a farm this song hits home. Great song
2019....More Farms lost in America than any year in history. Timely little ditty. Thanks Steve.
guess its just time
My grandfathers (and grandmothers) are always beside me, as they were meant to be...these things have always been so.
miss these days in his musical career

Love this song, the lyrics. It's so real, this probably was a story about somebody's life.
Shit no rain no food ....!
