    I grew up in a Northern upper middle class family that looked down on people from the South with those accents . As I entered the working world , I got to know many of these Southerners that had migrated North to work the mills , refinerys , etc to make a better life for their families . I found these folks to be some of the most hard working , honest people that I've had the pleasure to meet . Funny thing is , now I feel I have more in common with them than my Yankee family .

    My Grandpa used to tell me about these times. He grew up poor in rural West Virginia, used coal to heat up. Made one dollar per day, lucky to eat 2 meals, usually only one. A new pair of shoes was his best Christmas gift because he always got used/hand-me down, even then those were a blessing because no shoes/walking barefoot were common. Later on, after the war, he got a manufacturing job as a machinist and promoted to supervisor, on only a 8th grade education. Ended up owning his own home, a car and a truck, and was able to retire at a good age. He actually turned down a higher position with even more money, because he was content with what he had and rather spend time with his family and helping family/friends with home projects or making furniture (carpentry was his pastime).That's the American Dream.

    Just moved back to my families 162 acre farm, got the keys to my new home today. My dad worked that farm hard, he was a rail road man and worked hard all his life. He passed at 56 in 2009 from cancer, my mom left because she was depressed and didn’t want to be out there alone and it fell into disrepair, well I just retired from the army and I’m back. Couple old farmers seen me and said “are you Gary’s boy?” I said yes sir and I’m home to bring it back. Playing this song because I’m home

      Same here. It is especially precious seeing the visuals, they bring back memories. I know these people, grew up seeing happy faces in faded clothes and cares worn too early on other faces, but love and dignity all the same. Grew up in eastern NC tobacco country and moved to the city for office work. Feels like they could have been describing the 90s and 2000s for us. The fields are being bought up to put houses on, no more "October snow" in the roadside as they haul the cotton off. Very thankful to have grown up there. The culture won't go away if we don't let it. This and Dixieland Delight are some of the best representations of it. A couple years back, the ending made me look up the song Dixie, and the commentary from around the world was very encouraging. It isn't just Southern, it's regular people, and they're all over the world. Not the poor choices or the ugliness that still alloys our history, of course, but real people -- that resonates.

    As a family man who owns a farm, this song is truly special. I can relate when he talks about being so poor they didn't notice when things have gone to shit, my wife and i busted our asses for many years penny pinching to achieve the land we have today, and all for our children to have something that's their own. I hope they don't have face the rough road we had to there is no lesson to be learned from it.

      Hell I'm from Kansas (so obviously not Southern) and I love this song. My grandparents grew up in the Great Depression here and it was brutal for them. My grandpa's family lost their farm and had to move to the city and he started working at 11 years old driving a milk truck to help support the family. Hearing stuff like this makes me think of how tough you had to be back then just to make it through that time.
