My Papaw passed away less than a month ago from cancer. That day, the radio cut out of the rock station my dad was listening to and clearly played this before switching back. If this song sums anyone up it's my Papaw. He listened to Johnny Cash his whole life, had a John Wayne poster hanging up on his wall, and owned more than a couple John Deere tractors. This is his song and listening to it makes me feel closer to him even though he's gone. I miss you everyday, and I love you Papaw.
Im sorry for your loss. Cancer ain't no joke. Throat cancer about took me out but thank God that I am still here. My thoughts and prayers are with you all
doesnt matter what color your skin is all that matters is what you are on inside and at heart good people are every color the only reason it comes up is because democrats want to divide everyday people to hold on to power i would help you any day and im just a white guy from minnesota
I TRULY believe thats what the msm gov and political elites want us to think thats the biggest lie that they are ushing and unless your in LA NYC OR SEATTLE OR similar shitholes everyones pretty much on the same page these commies are destroying the country from the top to the bottom its literally an attack from the osama bin biden regime aka obama bin barrak same players that were doing it his administration are in the same places susan rice the go between to the clinton crime family and same secretary of state workin with al queda and GEN MILEY CYRUS THESE PEOPLE COULDNT BE MORE BLATANTLY ATTACKING THE US UNLESS THEY WERE USING DRONES OVER SAVANNAH THIS must be met with what it is KENETIC FORCE THERE WILL BE AT LEAST 8 MILLION MORE VOTES FOR THE DEMS WHEN THE RECALL ELECTION COMES HOPEFULLY THE DEMS THAT WERE INVOLVES ARE IN GITMO TREATED AS WHAT THEY ARE CHINESE UNDER COVER PUPPETS IF IT WAS ANYMORE CLEAR THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE COSMETIC SURGERY TOO LOOK MORE CHINESE GODBLESS ALL WHO ARE FIGHTING THESE COMMIE POS WE ALL NEED TO PRAY AT THE VERY LEAST FOR GOD TO INTERVENE FOR OUR PROTECTION THEN GO KINETIC GODBLESS ALL THE PATRIOTS WORLD WIDE FIGHTING THESE SATANIC FORCES
This is one of many songs represent country people the best. We might not be the wealthiest or have the most or nicest things out there, but we work for everything we have. That in my opinion is the best way to live. Its not easy, but its my life and I wouldn't trade a damn thing for it.
"We got a fighting side of mile wide, but we pray for peace. Cuz it's usually us that end up serving overseas" I remember playing this song serving on a U.S. warship in the middle of nowhere. Good times
@@devonlothamer5824 dam right about that, We where brought up on 3 things: Faith in the good Lord, Loving our Family's & Respecting this great Country we call home.
crazy i was 10 years old jamming out to this song in my dads pick up now look im 21 have my own son on the way and a house of my own its crazy i hear these songs and it feels like it just came out yesterday ]
The first line of this song reminds me of where I grew up. My dad always slept in a room full of arsenal. Still does to this day. Rifles in arm's reach, pistols above his pillow. Always believed in protecting his home and family in case the worst was to happen. Such reminiscent times come to mind when hearing this song.
Man how things have changed since I first watched this almost 10 years ago. This song is of a vanishing America, the real tragedy is that I watched it happen over twenty years ago. Song is as relevant as it ever has been, lived in big cities and the middle of nowhere. Way out here is much better..
Some of you people don't get it. He is singing about people who are proud of where they are from, not hateful to people who aren't. I accept all people but I hold strong to my backwoods morals and lifestyle.
he's from milwaukee wisconsin. he doesn't say ANYTHING about being proud to be from milwaukee. people in milwaukee don't have southern accents either, and it's the fifth largest city in the midwest. josh thompson is a poser.
flangflang snorg he is also a punk . Turned his back on everyone who helped him get to where he is at stole a bunch of our songs and tried to record and release then nothing but a punk
@@flangflangsnorg6634 He's NOT from Milwaukee, He's was born and raised on a Corn farm in Cedarburg Wisconsin, a small town of 11,000 people 45 minutes to an hour north of Milwaukee, he's not even from the Milwaukee Metro..... I live on farm about that distance west of St. Louis and I'm SURE AS HELL not from St. Louis. Stop it......
This guy!!! Josh Thompson is born n raised exactly one hour east of me. Where I was born n raised n still reside. He aint lyin. How it is WAY out here!
Today in France in was lucky enough to hear this song on a christian radio. My english is not good enough but i understood some words, and had a very good feeling. I was looking for lyrics then i saw the true values in it, the faith in God and honor. This is the USA i love, the only one the World deserve. I praise the Lord
Hank says it best..."We're from North California and south Alabama And little towns all around this land And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot line And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive " It don't matter where in America you are a country boy is a country boy. And if we are to ever take back our country we had better start sticking together. United we stand, divided we fall...
Absolutely love this song. perfectly describes where I'm from. He may not release music much anymore. But I'm proud to have been raised not too far from where he grew up.
CarissaM100 its because Josh parted ways with his record label in 2014....he is currently on an indie label so the chances of him releasing any more new music is very very slim, and even if he did it would never be released to radio.
country isnt all about livin on a farm and ridin in a jacked up truck and runnin shine! its about growing up in America and having jesus walking by your side and learning the good ol' values of life with family by your side. GOD BLESS AMERICA
Jay Perry. Cmt channel plays pop country now. It’s a shame and I’m sick of these pop/country crap they shove down everyone’s throats now. It’s all these damn Democrat/liberal pos people vote them out.
above him and take pity on his soul. When he dies he'll see the truth pray for him and ask GOD to forgive the ignorance of this world. I won't stop anyone from their freedom of speech, since as a Soldier we protect all Americans both Christians and non-Christians. Thank you all for supporting song of this caliber just don't take the comments a non- believer rants about.
Who's here in 2021 when executive orders threaten our 2A rights? Josh Thompson's Lyrics are perfect "Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son". God Bless.
im from a small town in south western va...im country from the top of my head to the souls of my worn out boots...and there aint nothing wrong with bein country!!! its a way of life..the best way of life i mite add!!! :) yall have a good one!!
"Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun; you might meet em both if you show up here not welcome, son" Best line of the song, LOVE IT! There's been thieves running around my country town but they recently got caught, I think it's time to put a sign out front of my house that says this...
our houses are protected by the good lord and the gun. like it used to be, like it ought to be just like its done here in the back woods of western PA.
I never bashed the south and I'm from rural SW PA. Around here we are the same kind of folk that Josh sings about! Country is country wide as they say!
i live in the big city of Dallas but Im lucky enough to get out to a town of a population less than 1000 every weekend. Im moving to Arizona in August and my hearts broken because of it. Im just a good ole boy who lives fishin, huntin, fighting, and drinking. Cant wait to officially live in my small texas town when I get home in 3 years....
I live in northern Maine and for us the middle of nowhere is our backyards. Kinda like what the fella from Canada said a few posts earlier. We hunt, we fish, we know how to live off the land because our families have done it for generations. And that knowledge was handed down to us fron lesdons we learned from our relatives abd many lessons we've learned on our own. Im just trying to break down the north vs south barrier. That war ended over 150 years ago. Let it go. The true battle is rural vs urba. Should not matter which side of the Mason-dixon your from.
I think really what the true war is would be Americans vs Americans. War between rich and poor has always been their. Longest lasting war since civilization....they call it "taxes"..
Way out here family has been here for 103 years on this tract of land closest neighbor 1000' on either side love the spread and country music. Rural Canada where the deer and the loan wolves play.
It's not to the point where one can't go without the other, but it's just that many people who were born and raised in the country were taught to be religious. Everyone that comes from the country will tell you about momma, mudding, and trucks. Along with those is Christianity, we were brought with Christian friends, family, and neighbors, it's just how we were raised, way out here...
Can't think of a much better line in a song than how this starts....OUR HOUSES ARE PROTECTED BY THE GOOD LORD AND A GUN, AND YOU MIGHT MEET UM BOTH IF YOU SHOW UP HERE NOT WELCOME SON.
Most of these guys and gals are born and raised extremely christian and in an era when religion is under attack from the government and non-religious people, country folk want to hear songs about the small town stuff they grew up on: Friday night football, morning farm work, saturday night at the bar and Sunday morning praying to the good Lord
Jonathan Williams didnt say that thier arent brave ppl from the city just more per capita in the country... the rual population makes up only 10 to 20% of the nation but the military is over 50% staffed by rural Americans. Not knockin anyone i appreciate all who serve no matter the background
Jonathan Williams 1st thank you for your service. And what he is saying is mostly true. There is more country than city in this great nation. So therefore it is mostly us. Sry. And yes I'm from wi. Just like Josh t.
Most people that are true "country," don't go around parading that they are "real country" either. You make excellent points. Most country people are just considered REAL people.
saw Josh Thompson live at the Dusty A in Rootstown, Ohio amazing concert x 10000. truly an inspiration for an aspiring musician. God Bless him and the freedom in this great country to do somethin like that! Yeee-Haw
This video was filmed in downtown Cairo (pronounced Ka-ro locally), Illinois. It is the southernmost city in the state and the population is over 75% Black/African American. This video is not an accurate depiction of the faces that would have been looking back at this gentleman had he been singing in that bar, for real. Nice song but it's a shame it could not have been made to feature the real people who really live there.
+dodi mccunney chapman Im gunna come at you with " GROW UP " Point A. You describe a HUMAN BEING by color, your a P.O.S. B. It is a business. If you forgot that, perhaps you should re-evaluate your view on the situation. You sign your name, and jump as HIGH AS YOUR TOLD. C. It is a BUSINESS, they couldn't get any of the girls to come down, they where shooting (Nelly's "Country Grammar") video the block over...... Target the people who buy your stuff. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH! D. Sorry you didn't get filmed in the vid, better luck next time.
Stormm Firecaster, He isn't from Tennessee. He's from Michigan. Those people in Tennessee that you're talking about are not true country folks. I come from Wyoming where we are taught to work for every dime we earn, but even here there are folks that don't work. It's a sad day but it's something "even out here" we have to deal with. For those who end up fighting overseas, I have a buddy in the Marine Corp right now. My granddads served in the Army and Navy. I am here to tell you, a lot of country boys and girls are in the military. I would shut your mouth about that. Why would you assume that when he says "seeing this country like it use to be" he means during war? Especially since our current president still has soldiers in the middle east, and is still fighting wars I! would assume he is talking about when the Constitution actually mattered and was known by the citizens of this country so they didn't just let the government control every aspect of their lives. There are still good hard working, God fearing, gun toting, Constitutional Americans all across this land. Those are the ones he is singing about. Have a nice day ma'am.
***** you might be "true country". But you still ain't as country as them folks way out there in north woods or west like WY or ND. Just too much population in the south. There's people everywhere down there. When I'm down in AL it seems like I can never get away from ppl. So busy. So yea I'm sure there's country people in TN. Just like every state Across this land.
Their people from all walks of life in the millitary sir.. And since the 90s, I think, the population of gang members in the armed forces has dramatically changed.. Most of those gangs are hispanic and , predominantly, black gangs.. So im certain that our millitary isnt just country folks or city folks.. I believe what that was reffering to in the song was when the gov issued the draft, wich at that time it was predominantly white people in the millitary but white dosent mean country.. And southern states,like Tennessee, are more country than most northan states...
@@Jmarsfan28 lmao.. The South over populated??.. Lmao never been up north have you.. New york Cincinnati long island.. You got people jams in crosswalkscause theirso populated.. But atlanta is a poor choice to use when saying the south is over populated.. ITS A BIG CITY NO SHIT ITS CROWDED
One reason that I think they do it is because a lot of people from the Southern states are very religious. A lot of Southerners I've met hold God very close to their hearts. Now that is probably why Country singers often have lines about God in their songs. Their not trying to force their religion upon anyone. They just write songs in things they believe, God being a main part.
Absolutly love this song! Thank you 66ant for your service, this coming from a former soldier who never was needed in war time. I SALUTE YOU for taking up this role I never could. My thanks to you and to all our brave citizens who serve now, in the past , and in the future. May they ALL come home!
I'm an Aussie and these are my kind of people. Real Americans. Glad to have your back...
Right on mate your Good people too
Hellyeah brother we got u hope all is well with u n yurs brother
We got a boot for your enemies ass too brother man
Most Americans are good people. The far left and right media. Makes a look bad sometimes most of it is BS.
same applies in canada bro, and thanks for being a true brother of america!!

I love this song! I listen to it over and over again. I am black girl who lives in Texas. Drink to that!
doesnt matter what color your skin is all that matters is what you are on inside and at heart good people are every color the only reason it comes up is because democrats want to divide everyday people to hold on to power i would help you any day and im just a white guy from minnesota
Thank you friend. Us Patriots are a dying breed so we gotta stick together and stay strong. God bless you too.

It’s the American Way 🦅🇺🇸
Work hard and earn everything. Respect to you.
Amen! From OK

Great job josh. I've liked this song for 10 years plus. We need more of this in our country. That's how I live
"We won't take a dime if we ain't earned it
When it comes to weight, brother we pull our own"
Best and most truthful line of this song
Man how things have changed since I first watched this almost 10 years ago. This song is of a vanishing America, the real tragedy is that I watched it happen over twenty years ago. Song is as relevant as it ever has been, lived in big cities and the middle of nowhere. Way out here is much better..
Small town Wisconsin boy here, just like Josh. My parents are hard working immigrants. God Bless the USA !
I don’t even listen to county, but I love this song so much. I used to play it on repeat when I did an internship in DC and was homesick for Idaho.
Let's bring this song back
I live in the woods, I'm all about what this song explains. I don't want my small town to keep growing, I want to keep it like it is.
Be assholes building houses there soon afraid to say
Some of you people don't get it. He is singing about people who are proud of where they are from, not hateful to people who aren't. I accept all people but I hold strong to my backwoods morals and lifestyle.
Hey as Blake says u wouldn’t know unless you lived it
He refers to himself the entire song.. Pretty sure he's letting people know were he stands..
he's from milwaukee wisconsin. he doesn't say ANYTHING about being proud to be from milwaukee. people in milwaukee don't have southern accents either, and it's the fifth largest city in the midwest. josh thompson is a poser.

Hank actually says North Carolina and south Alabama
Regardless.....the statement holds true. But thank you for correcting my mistake.
Rusty Sled Hank says North California and South Alabam.
junkman 81 ..hank can't sing a lick so it dont matter what he says
I'm not from the country but i'm not from the city, but this sums up how life should be lived..
Absolutely love this song. perfectly describes where I'm from. He may not release music much anymore. But I'm proud to have been raised not too far from where he grew up.
CarissaM100 dam right!
WI !
Wisconsin is definitely beautiful country
CarissaM100 its because Josh parted ways with his record label in 2014....he is currently on an indie label so the chances of him releasing any more new music is very very slim, and even if he did it would never be released to radio.
Lyrical masterpiece
i love this song...those of you who dont like wht hes sayin dont listen to it....born and raised in the south and this is wht i grew up knowin...
Josh Thompson is from WI. Just like many others, I'm proud to be from Wisconsin! I'm way out here haha and yes we like our beer
Proud to be down here Texas way and we love our beer.
Robert Walker shout outs to the DFW empire and most of all 817 Arlington from yours truly, KANSAS!
proud to be from Indiana. us Hoosiers love our beer too
Town of 4000 called Marseilles Illinois. We love our beer
Hell yeah, his hometown borders mine to the north

Probably 1 of my favorite songs!!
Definitely one of my favorite songs
He is from my home state of Wisconsin
He speaks nothin but the truth. hell yeah for the south
Hell yeah for country folk.. Country is country wide.
LOL, you'd crash your hayabusa in the smoke left behind from our trucks down here boy.
Love you Libs, best comedians on the planet.
Driveing a motorcycle makes you a liberal???
I cannot believe how patriotism brings out the worst in people these days. Awesome song. Nuff said.
God n guns, 'murica!

Real country
Good tune
Love this song.
Wisconsin proud

If its our backwoods way of livin' your concerned with well you can leave us alone.

"Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun; you might meet em both if you show up here not welcome, son"
Best line of the song, LOVE IT! There's been thieves running around my country town but they recently got caught, I think it's time to put a sign out front of my house that says this...
our houses are protected by the good lord and the gun. like it used to be, like it ought to be just like its done here in the back woods of western PA.
I think Thomas Jefferson would enjoy this song. Classic independent yeoman farmer.
Through faith.... It's my belief we should all be looking at it like this privately
❤we are about that bor
2020 still an amazing song
This song is fuckin awesome. I've been listening to it since it came out
Before you bash the south, Josh Thompson is actually from Wisconsin #TheMoreYouKnow
hi Nick Moder, I already knew this!:) Have you ever been to a Mr. Josh Thompson Concert?

thanks for saying it brother
Jonathan Williams 1st thank you for your service. And what he is saying is mostly true. There is more country than city in this great nation. So therefore it is mostly us. Sry. And yes I'm from wi. Just like Josh t.

Fast forward to 2023 😂
Got one word to say...America..the Greatest in the World
Hell yea that's real country! Bad ass song
High school football. barbecue. good ol dogs and raising kids to be tough yet respectful. what happened to America?
still that way in some places just have to be lucky enough to live in an area like that
+clay pinkerton I'm not lucky enough to live there
+josh dewitt feel bad for you round here southern part of ohio its still that way
I'm here in San Angelo Texas, we live like this, I was mostly concerned with the northern part of the country, specifically northeastern
+cole dooley Cole there are some pretty tough country folk round here in the north woods of Wisconsin. But California is a raise for concern
my house is protected by the good lord and a nice 12 gauge haha!
I love this song. I think a rebel flag would have been great mixed in the video somewhere
+0307 0307 we are one
I think he’s from Wisconsin.
LB7 zf6 true but this song had to go through Nashville and the political correctness police would cry racism.
Most people that are true "country," don't go around parading that they are "real country" either. You make excellent points. Most country people are just considered REAL people.
saw Josh Thompson live at the Dusty A in Rootstown, Ohio amazing concert x 10000. truly an inspiration for an aspiring musician. God Bless him and the freedom in this great country to do somethin like that! Yeee-Haw
This video was filmed in downtown Cairo (pronounced Ka-ro locally), Illinois. It is the southernmost city in the state and the population is over 75% Black/African American. This video is not an accurate depiction of the faces that would have been looking back at this gentleman had he been singing in that bar, for real. Nice song but it's a shame it could not have been made to feature the real people who really live there.
+dodi mccunney chapman Im gunna come at you with " GROW UP " Point A. You describe a HUMAN BEING by color, your a P.O.S.
B. It is a business. If you forgot that, perhaps you should re-evaluate your view on the situation. You sign your name, and jump as HIGH AS YOUR TOLD.
C. It is a BUSINESS, they couldn't get any of the girls to come down, they where shooting (Nelly's "Country Grammar") video the block over...... Target the people who buy your stuff. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!
D. Sorry you didn't get filmed in the vid, better luck next time.
+Pfeffer A I think it's time to take your medicine. Feel better.
This bar is Miss Kitty's in Nashville off Hermitage Ave, dumbass
Stormm Firecaster, He isn't from Tennessee. He's from Michigan. Those people in Tennessee that you're talking about are not true country folks. I come from Wyoming where we are taught to work for every dime we earn, but even here there are folks that don't work. It's a sad day but it's something "even out here" we have to deal with.
For those who end up fighting overseas, I have a buddy in the Marine Corp right now. My granddads served in the Army and Navy. I am here to tell you, a lot of country boys and girls are in the military. I would shut your mouth about that.
Why would you assume that when he says "seeing this country like it use to be" he means during war? Especially since our current president still has soldiers in the middle east, and is still fighting wars I! would assume he is talking about when the Constitution actually mattered and was known by the citizens of this country so they didn't just let the government control every aspect of their lives.
There are still good hard working, God fearing, gun toting, Constitutional Americans all across this land. Those are the ones he is singing about. Have a nice day ma'am.
Josh Thompson is from Wisconsin
I agree I have some family that was in the military
***** you might be "true country". But you still ain't as country as them folks way out there in north woods or west like WY or ND. Just too much population in the south. There's people everywhere down there. When I'm down in AL it seems like I can never get away from ppl. So busy. So yea I'm sure there's country people in TN. Just like every state Across this land.
Their people from all walks of life in the millitary sir.. And since the 90s, I think, the population of gang members in the armed forces has dramatically changed.. Most of those gangs are hispanic and , predominantly, black gangs.. So im certain that our millitary isnt just country folks or city folks.. I believe what that was reffering to in the song was when the gov issued the draft, wich at that time it was predominantly white people in the millitary but white dosent mean country.. And southern states,like Tennessee, are more country than most northan states...
@@Jmarsfan28 lmao.. The South over populated??.. Lmao never been up north have you.. New york Cincinnati long island.. You got people jams in crosswalkscause theirso populated.. But atlanta is a poor choice to use when saying the south is over populated.. ITS A BIG CITY NO SHIT ITS CROWDED
Cowboys Jesus Christ and john deer
One reason that I think they do it is because a lot of people from the Southern states are very religious. A lot of Southerners I've met hold God very close to their hearts. Now that is probably why Country singers often have lines about God in their songs. Their not trying to force their religion upon anyone. They just write songs in things they believe, God being a main part.
Love this song and I love America. This song totally relates to me
When he says we smoke we chew does he mean chewing tobacco
