Now this is country music, what they play today make's no sense. i has no meaning, but this. This song reminds me of where i grew up in West Virginia. I might be young but i sure do know country music when i hear it. Good job John Anderson!
John Anderson is so often overlooked but as far is I'm concerned he's one of the artists that carried the 90's on his shoulders. Straight tequila night and Seminole wind are absolute classics and hold so much nostalgia with me for the way life used to be
A reminder of better times. Once again, good Christian country folk can't be passive. Have God and family in your heart, a gun on your side, and if you see something that doesn't jive with the 10 commandments, all stand up with your palm on your holster and say, " No Sir! Not in my town!"
George Jones, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, George Strait, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson, Waylon Jennings, and John Anderson all have that quintessential deep Country sound.
No ladies in your pure country sound list? Loretta Lynn? Patsy Cline? Dale Evans? June Carter? Dolly Parton? Skeeter Davis? Tanya Tucker? Emmylou Harris? Kitty Wells? Crystal Gayle? The Judds? Connie Smith? Dottie West? Barbara Mandrell? Linda Ronstadt? Juice Newton? Reba McEntire? Maybelle Carter? Donna Fargo? Connie Francis? Lacy J Dalton? Come on!!!
@Wade Hayes This is wade Hayes not John Anderson but in the beginning we thought it was John right. Well the artists uses there people for this and there people don't want they please as long ae you believe its John Anderson but its not. Man I can't believe this singers do this to there fans.
@Wade Hayes See its not John Anderson and at first it was John's picture beside the comments boy they are smart aren't they well ,I have caught on to it now. You all the artists doesn't comments to us they use there fans , I will never spend another penny on no artists again they use us . Hope you guys see this and find out for yourself. Im really disappointed in all this. But the B.B.B. told me what to look for.
I grew up in a small town. My wife grew up in an even smaller town. All of my kids are growing up in my small town, as are my grandchildren. Thanks dear Lord for small towns.
This song has been stuck in my head for a week now. This truly makes me proud to be an American. Not our government but the simple and humble people who make this country. A small town is were I'll be found.God bless all. Sincerely drumwish2010
Grew up in this small town where video was made. My dad was in video. He has been dead for 15 years. I still love to watch video, it reminds me of my dad and growing up in Watertown tn
John, I just want to say THANK YOU, for keeping music clean and simple, for keeping it real, for bringing to life the sentiment and feeling of every day folks. I was born in South America, but your music makes me feel more American than apple pie. God bless you and your family. My Favorite song so far.... Those Years
@John Anderson , seeing your response has brought much joy to my heart. Your music touches the soul like no other. The song " years" brings me to tears each time I watch it. I'm just a few years younger than you and I cannot believe that time passes us by so quickly. I know you've had some rough years recently health wise. Please know that we are praying for you and care deeply for you.
Sounds like the place i grew up..americana...late 70's early eighties was still a good county...i hate the change now......hell John from swinging every dam were in background, when i was a kid..good memories..cassette tape...🤙🏻 awesome talent ...im southern too..i can relate..🇺🇸small town , bout gone..
I'm going to see John in Augusta on Oct 1st and I'm going to have me a sign that says PLAY SMALL TOWN and get right in the front of the stage where he has to see me. Went to see him in Statesboro, GA last year and he didn't play it and I was a little disappointed but not a whole lot cause everything he sang was GREAT!
I was playing this in the truck one day and a buddy said he'd heard the voice before and when I told him who it was he remembered. He had been at a hay ride near Apopka Fl and a guy with a guitar hopped on and started playing for them. No pay, no big announcement. He just played, and it was John Anderson.
rp9876 p Thats because folks like John Anderson dont care 'bout money but they would give you the shirt off of their back if you needed it because they genuinely care about you.
At times because of the current times, I wish I could stay forever in my small town moment when I'd wake up in Greeley, Colorado, and see the sun shining in through the window and at the same time, I could hear eggs frying. My grandma who raised me would be up early cooking. God I miss her so!
I live in a small town, not one red light in the town, you have to go down to the interstate before you get a red light. But sad to say that old monster called progress is devouring more and more around us, we still have to drive 10 miles to the nearest Walmart and Winn Dixie. Big money corporations are eating up and destroying our small towns, hopefully we can hold that devouring monster a few more years before we lose our small towns completely. God Bless The Small Towns.
I grew up in the country between towns of 300 and 500. Now I live in the city, which is ok, but it is not the same. I really miss living in a rural area. I felt like I had more freedom.
This man sounds so darn good! Saw him in concert at the Martinsville Speedway a few years ago and he sounded like the first time he recorded a single. Thank you John for this memory for me and my hubby. Enjoyed this concert at the Martinsville Speed way in Martinsville, VA
Went to a country music dance hall /bar and John Anderson was performing there that night I was front row standing the whole time what a awesome talent , amazing how it seems he was always over looked , great song writer as well ,
This song is amazing.. i love this album so much. There are such great songs like this, South Moon Under, Who's Who What's What, Somebody Slap Me and so on.... i will never forget seeing John for the first time as a teen back in 1998..amazing!
He loves to show off small town America and workin' folk in his videos. I'm a pretty liberal guy, but I do respect his man and the awesome music he makes.
Much credit must go to the people in this mini movie and the director . Well put together , it's making memories come alive for all the listeners . 🇨🇦🇺🇸🏁✨
Represents a time pasted. I grew up in the 70s in a small town on the Western Slope of Colorado...what happened my fellow Americans to our Country? Just a great song of a time past.
Chris Rialto No idea...I was born in 1994 and things have changed so much even from when I was born. Americans used to be all about hard work and family. Now suddenly we seem to be all about working as little as possible, with as little family attachments as possible.
the32712 ill fill in the blanks. There is a group of bankers [cabal] who've created an oligarchy dedicated to world government. They have installed people of their level of thinking into all forms of our government. They've put fluoride in our water and bpa in the linings of a large amount of our canned goods and soft drink containers. Its all designed to dumb down and make our society docile and slow to anger. also to make men less men than they otherwise be. They are going for the full deal....control of the world. The United States is the last hold out. if they can take us the world is doomed. That is another story........check this out : Infowars.com it will give you an opening into the rabbit hole. Good Luck!
C R grew up on a farm in very rural southeast Iowa in the 50's and 60's. And I totally agree with you. Those days are gone, and this society is already suffering from the change. But you and I are lucky. We have in our hearts the memories of these times past, and that cannot be taken away from us.
How many people live in small town that where all good people. That would help and care for everyone in their town. Treat them just they were their own family. Share their gardens with each other. Most of all was there when a family was in need or struggling with lost of family member. Where did those towns go to here in America?
They’re still out here brother. Just nobody takes the time to slow down anymore. Everybody running from place to place like mad people. In a hurry to get no where.
I grew up in a what was small town Apopka Florida and know the family well. John's family was the best. Thank you John for the greatest music and staying country ❤️. God bless you and your family. God speed 🙏
Aaaah, I used to sit back and listen to the train roll by, used to go three times a day, but they shut down the line a couple years ago, miss the sound of those ancient Diesel engines chuggin along.
Lets talk about his brilliant guitar playing he makes me pick up my Stratocaster and plug it into my Marshall and lets look at where those Lyrics come from Deep inside the Heart of a Man with a Genius manor of getting the Facts of Life Together in a Song .
Now this is country music, what they play today make's no sense. i has no meaning, but this. This song reminds me of where i grew up in West Virginia. I might be young but i sure do know country music when i hear it. Good job John Anderson!
Listen to average old country music from the 60’s, it was pretty bad too, but we remember the good stuff.
Awesome 😎
John Anderson is so often overlooked but as far is I'm concerned he's one of the artists that carried the 90's on his shoulders. Straight tequila night and Seminole wind are absolute classics and hold so much nostalgia with me for the way life used to be
BurningRelic28❤❤❤...
11 years later and new country is trashy RAP & Hiphop trailer trash music...
Where did great country singers like John go????? This is a real country song, not that pop crap that masquerades as country music today.
I think I must be a lucky man,i was raised in a place just like this,kind of like a modern day Mayberry.
He is definitely one of the BEST !!
Agreed 100%
This video really captures the America that I miss so much..i'm only 44 but things have changed so much in my lifetime...
60 and agree 100%

Beautiful song.
To the South: I love you forever.

All I know is that the best died young #HankPatsyAndKeith
I grew up in a small town. My wife grew up in an even smaller town. All of my kids are growing up in my small town, as are my grandchildren. Thanks dear Lord for small towns.
Amen and amen
That's awesome... Everyone came bought my entire little town up. I can't even show my kids anything
Mike M. It’s just better way too live
Need small touns
Small towns are disappearing
This song has been stuck in my head for a week now. This truly makes me proud to be an American. Not our government but the simple and humble people who make this country. A small town is were I'll be found.God bless all. Sincerely drumwish2010
You are so right my friend John Anderson is a National Treasure he is an icon of America without him we would be in trouble
John Anderson is a national treasure !!!!
They just don't sing em' like that anymore. Such a voice.
Thank you ,always
Wish country was still like this
Amen! I wish too
you and me both
you couldnt be more right!!
It does in the hearts and memories of us who have lived in small towns.
One of the greatest, There will never be another like him. He is an icon for real country.
Grew up in this small town where video was made. My dad was in video. He has been dead for 15 years. I still love to watch video, it reminds me of my dad and growing up in Watertown tn
I Love John Anderson...........He was on the tail-end of of real country. He makes really good music...!!!
He was in 1984 with Swing'n.....👍🏻🥰
Wish people still had morals & values. ..
Common sense would help too!!
Between 2 corn fields 2 stoplights growing up on Hank Williams. This is real COUNTRY music.
John, I just want to say THANK YOU, for keeping music clean and simple, for keeping it real, for bringing to life the sentiment and feeling of every day folks.
I was born in South America, but your music makes me feel more American than apple pie.
God bless you and your family. My Favorite song so far.... Those Years
Loving his new album, “Years.” There will never be another John!!!
I believe John is the greatest artist in the world today. Everything he did was fantastic.
I couldn’t agree more David. My favorite by John Anderson is “Seminole Wind “.
He is one of the greatest, no question about that. Not to me, anyway. Sincerely, a Georgia native.
im away in the military.. this song really makes me miss home..
I hope you made it home, brother.
love this guys music, most under appreciated country artist ever.
@John Anderson , seeing your response has brought much joy to my heart. Your music touches the soul like no other. The song " years" brings me to tears each time I watch it. I'm just a few years younger than you and I cannot believe that time passes us by so quickly. I know you've had some rough years recently health wise.

I always enjoy listening to John singing. The songs hit home in the heart.
We love you Mr president take use home
My "Small Town" was Rosine, Kentucky where Maw, Papa & Mom Dad were from. Miss it so much. Miss Friends. Miss Family.
Absolutely a beautiful song and a great video. Americana at it's best. God Bless Our Country.
Proudly made in the small towns of Fiddlers Grove, TN and Watertown, TN.
Sounds like the place i grew up..americana...late 70's early eighties was still a good county...i hate the change now......hell John from swinging every dam were in background, when i was a kid..good memories..cassette tape...🤙🏻 awesome talent ...im southern too..i can relate..🇺🇸small town , bout gone..
everything went to crap in the 90's. I agree 100%
Howdy all y'all brothers and sisters.....listen a Country song like this....makes me wonder how much i may thank GOD, To be from South.
Carlos Vieira amen brother
Amen!! Proud of where I come from and Proud of my ancestors that fought in every war this nation has ever seen.
This song makes me yearn for a simpler time. 😢
This man is a legend!! Love him, his voice. No other voice like him. The 39 who disliked it probably like luke bryan.
accurate
Your probably right........Luke who..??......the older stuff is ALOT better...!!
some of his music is very good, some is too sappy, people should be able to say what they think, yes? J. Anderson, good entertainer.. not 100% who is?
Who the hell is Luke Bryan
dollarbill108 I would have liked your comment but I like where it's at
Ive seen John and the Band 22 times. He's my favorite Country Artist..Met them as well..Great bunch of folks
Small town folk are the best! Especially when you win HS football state championship! Small town pride, southern comfort
Been years since I’ve heard this great song. Thank you again John Anderson. 🇺🇸
I wish everyone could grow up in a small town. I actually mean everyone, not just the fortunate!
I think the only reason people leaves small towns...is for work. But, they always want to go back. I came back home 5 years ago...I am very happy..!!!
John Anderson is so great!
I'm going to see John in Augusta on Oct 1st and I'm going to have me a sign that says PLAY SMALL TOWN and get right in the front of the stage where he has to see me. Went to see him in Statesboro, GA last year and he didn't play it and I was a little disappointed but not a whole lot cause everything he sang was GREAT!
For a lot of us, we grew up in the country, miles from town. But the town closest was small. Thats the best kind.....
I was playing this in the truck one day and a buddy said he'd heard the voice before and when I told him who it was he remembered. He had been at a hay ride near Apopka Fl and a guy with a guitar hopped on and started playing for them. No pay, no big announcement. He just played, and it was John Anderson.
rp9876 p Thats because folks like John Anderson dont care 'bout money but they would give you the shirt off of their back if you needed it because they genuinely care about you.
sounds about rite, i live n south fl, everglades, he's been nothing but wonderful 2 us, will love him forever!
Just "REAL Folks"
Pure gold!
At times because of the current times, I wish I could stay forever in my small town moment when I'd wake up in Greeley, Colorado, and see the sun shining in through the window and at the same time, I could hear eggs frying. My grandma who raised me would be up early cooking. God I miss her so!
John is best country in my ear, I love him
I live in a small town, not one red light in the town, you have to go down to the interstate before you get a red light.

John Anderson is true Country!
my old lady actually believed they rolled up the side walks at dark when she was a little girl. I love you girl.
I just love that little guitar riff in this song
It's a shame that everyone can't live in a small town.
They wouldn't be small towns anymore.
If this doesn't make you teary eyed nothing will!
This really is a national treasure
John Anderson is Legend, folks.
Relics of this song
This man sounds so darn good! Saw him in concert at the Martinsville Speedway a few years ago and he sounded like the first time he recorded a single. Thank you John for this memory for me and my hubby. Enjoyed this concert at the Martinsville Speed way in Martinsville, VA
The little boy sitting on the mailbox is just too darn cute.
There's still places like this song. We need to keep our eyes open to see the beauty around us and this is a reminder.
amen
Everybody loves John ..the likes with thumbs up have been messed up thru out youtube..no..truth what-so-ever...
Went to a country music dance hall /bar and John Anderson was performing there that night I was front row standing the whole time what a awesome talent , amazing how it seems he was always over looked , great song writer as well ,

Real music comes from the heart from love of pain story telling music

The certain people you don't have to look at in this video is why these small towns are still a nice place to live in
Yes they are.. Grew up in a town of 300 and would love nothing more than to live out my life there
I love small towns you can still saddle up your pony and ride to the market. There may even be a hitching post there too.
Love the tune . I'm from a small town but the town grew so much it's a shame . Now to watch it go down hill like a snowball headed to hell .
This song inspired KoL to name their 5th Studio Album "come around sundown"
I didn’t know that, are you related to KOL I saw your last name?
I love how his voice seems to do volume swells.

SOLID GOLD!!
Solid ground!
Aaaah, I used to sit back and listen to the train roll by, used to go three times a day, but they shut down the line a couple years ago, miss the sound of those ancient Diesel engines chuggin along.
I love country music
Lets talk about his brilliant guitar playing he makes me pick up my Stratocaster and plug it into my Marshall and lets look at where those Lyrics come from Deep inside the Heart of a Man with a Genius manor of getting the Facts of Life Together in a Song .
Living in Kansas City for nearly fifteen years makes me miss living in Clearview.. a quiet, beautiful town. Perhaps moving back won't be a bad idea
