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.
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 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've never been to the US, but when I listen to this song, it makes we wanna go there and visit real America, the South and rural areas where people have stories to tell and songs to sing. Real people.
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

@@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. What we do want to do is stop the open border and slow the influx of human trafficking, drugs and people that are only coming here to do harm to our citizens and the American way of life. This individual came here legally and is just as much American as the rest of us. Way to go dude. We could use more people like you
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.

Amen !!! To all those country folks and farmers !!! Busting your ass to try to help keep everyone fed , thank you!!! You do not get enough appreciation for all you do !!!!
I can't speak for everyone but personally can say I don't look for appreciation when it comes to farming but I'm just happy to do my part in keeping people fed don't get me wrong I bust my ass in the fields all day from 7am to 10pm every day but it's worth it to keep people from going hungry
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
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!
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.
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.
House of Bognadoff My Brothers and Sisters in arms of all races aren’t falling for this brainwashing of America right now.

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 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!

Well, Hank called it back in 1981. It's coming true today. Prayers to Hank and the family as well. I didn't know he lost his wife earlier this year. God Bless and watch over us all.
And what did you fucks do about it? Y'all saw it coming FOR FORTY GODDAMN FUCKING YEARS AND DID NOTHING!!!! Everybody too much of a pussy to revolt. Fuck us all we deserve to go the way of rome.
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.
I am writing this comment from the City of Miami, Florida. I can attest that this song applies to all of us, base on the people that I had served with for 20 years in the US Army, as either their peers, their supervisors, (as Squad Leader, their Platoon Sergeant, their First Sergeant, or their Drill-Sergeant,) or their subordinate (from private to Sergeant First-class.) While stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas in 1977-1978, my roommate (Threatt,) from Texas first introduced me to this hardcore style of country music. He used to continuously play those songs in our four-man room, and were all of different background, but we got used to this kind of county ballad, specifically after those long hours at the "Motor Pool." He used to play "Luckenbark, Texas" so much; it was like, we were all from Texas. I still listen to that style of country music, because those songs are so doggone "hardcore."
Peace or war to the evil ones in power. They will not stop till we are all on our knees and I rather die on my feet. But yes not sure who u are but it's a badass song and I'm pissed as we should all be. CPK
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. ✝️🇺🇸💪

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.
I'm 56, I still remember when Hank released this song. I was in the Army at that time, and my buddies then understood all the shit I had been telling them about my childhood from Texas 😂!
Hello Angel, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
In these times, I thank the Lord for my grandfather raising this black man as a country boy in Monroe, LA! Country folks can survive! 🇺🇸🙏🏾

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.

@@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
Thank you for recognizing those of us from Northern California. We're build differnt. I appreciate that so much.
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. ❤

As a long time American I wonder why the republicans don’t want y’all here and the dems do because in my experience y’all vote on the absolute rational ends of things. Keep up the good work.
@@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. What we do want to do is stop the open border and slow the influx of human trafficking, drugs and people that are only coming here to do harm to our citizens and the American way of life. This individual came here legally and is just as much American as the rest of us. Way to go dude. We could use more people like you
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 !!
Born and raised in Houston and I got cousins in the piney woods in Texas. God bless Texas and them country folk.💯🍻👍🏽🇺🇸

Even MORE relevant today in light of the issues we face
I'm telling you. History repeats itself. I love this song. This song will be heard for decades to centuries
This song should be added to the next NASA Golden Record sent into space (if they do that sort of thing anymore).

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!
matt clarke thank you, bro! We love our English counterparts, too! ❤
my great grandpa played with hank back when he was alive, he was quite the man
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.
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.

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.
I am writing this comment from the City of Miami, Florida.
I can attest that this song applies to all of us, base on the people that I had served with for 20 years in the US Army, as either their peers, their supervisors, (as Squad Leader, their Platoon Sergeant, their First Sergeant, or their Drill-Sergeant,) or their subordinate (from private to Sergeant First-class.)
While stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas in 1977-1978, my roommate (Threatt,) from Texas first introduced me to this hardcore style of country music.
He used to continuously play those songs in our four-man room, and were all of different background, but we got used to this kind of county ballad, specifically after those long hours at the "Motor Pool."
He used to play "Luckenbark, Texas" so much; it was like, we were all from Texas.
I still listen to that style of country music, because those songs are so doggone "hardcore."
Amen! At 58 years old this song still gives me goosebumps!
Hi there

Peace or war to the evil ones in power. They will not stop till we are all on our knees and I rather die on my feet. But yes not sure who u are but it's a badass song and I'm pissed as we should all be. CPK
