Hank used to get so drunk at his shows they would last hours and hours and he’d have a concert, jam session, and then a concert again then in between all that a hundred stories. If you come sober you won’t last long. Drink up!!
Just saw him again in Sioux Falls, SD last weekend. At 73 years old he still rocks like he’s 30. Still puts on a great performance. He’s my favorite artist of all time and always will be.
Brandon Reigle No he don't!! Tell the shit like it is. That's what fuckin wrong with jacked up country. Everyone worrying about getting their whimpy feelings hurt!!!
My daddy was and singer and guitar player that played this song and I always loved it growing up! My daddy died April27th 2019 God Rest His Soul! Love us some Hank! 😉
Seen him at the Missouri state fair in Aug of 87 or 88, and again July 3rd 2021 at Miami Oklahoma. He was escorted off the stage by band members in 87/88 because he was too drunk to finish a song about 2 hours into the concert. Miami he played for about an hour and walked off sober.
I've been to eight of his shows he was too drunk to play at about six of them. Glad to see he appreciates his fans enough to give him the show they deserve.
ROFL, while the Queen of England may not approve of Hank Jr.'s "uncouth, hillbilly" manners, Hank is royalty in the country. Captivating entertainer, though the visual of Hank Jr. spraying liquid from his mouth may not have been appreciated by his mother. Hank Jr., thank you for all your great stories, music, and rowdy, country style.

One day about 10yrs ago I turned to my daughter and said: listen to this song closely cause it's going to be one of your favorites forever. Sure enough after the song she said Dad... that is one helluva song. She been listening to it ever since. She knows the deal.
Much respect 101st ! I was enlisted with my local National Guard Field Artillery Unit- 38th Inf Div, 163rd FA- 82-89 here in southern Indiana. Spent my 1st summer camp at Ft Campbell and many weekends firing my 105mm howitzer there. Got all my military tattoos right across the road from the base. And got tore down drunk walking up and down the strip more than once lmao ! The 101st always treated us like brothers. I went to to 3 Hank concerts back in the 80's. He kicked ass !
I seen Hank in the 80's. I loved it. Had a great time..He is a country man. He was drinking a beer and came over to me and hand me that beer and I took drink then he finished it and gave me the beer can back. And people broke in my house and stoled so much from me,jewelry,tv, guns. And more. They took that can.. and it had to be person I New or my brother cause they New where all my shit was. Some was put up and only my brother new were at..So I blame him.. and his friends.. something like hat will never happen again. Miss my stuff and that great can...if reading this don't trust anyone. And your family. God bless you Hank Jr.
I understand. I had a guitar like Willie Nelson had and all my friends claimed I got it from him. I went out of town and when I came back the particular guitar was missing even though I had many others in better condition in the same room. Those were still there. I suppose the wear is what convinced whoever it was that is was Willie's guitar. Sad, but true.
I live in Alabama and I went to his Tuscaloosa concert that year and it was fucking awesome. Was drinking and screaming the whole concert and ended up smoking a joint on the way home that night 😂😂😂
Few things in life can match the experience of seeing Hank in person and unfiltered and wondering just wtf he is gonna say at any given moment......I have been a huge fan since I was a kid (and that's been a couple of damn years) I have all the love and respect in the world for this man and his music and I am so thankful he has inspired some of the younger guys and gals that are coming up to do things THEIR way!
Tina I saw him in Huntsville Alabama early 90'$ and he kept screaming dim the d#mn lights. Hank dissappears comes back out with a 22 rifle shoots one of the lights before they dimmed them. Then the crowd got loud and he started singing family tradition! Probably my best memory!
I Listen this when iam in my tractor plowing all the time. I am 42 Yr-old country man from Serbia i never ben outside of my country not i care to travel abroad, I Found Hank Wiliams caseate tape back 1998 when i was 16 and i listen his music almost every day He influence my life i feel in love with American Cowboy country culture and to learn English from his songs ,Here in Serbia I plow my own fields and produce Potatoes I also have 35 heads of cattle and 30 sheep as well as over 50 chicken turkeys and ducks .
I've seen Hank Jr in concert 3 times. The first time was at the pyramid with Lynyrd Skynyrd, the second time was at Mud Island, and the last time was in Tunica...
I'm born and raised in Appalachia from a long line of bluegrass musicians. Brought up in the house my poppa hand built. I tell my buddy's when I drive down east to the beach for vacation that I'm such a mountain man that if i get a cut then my blood runs UP my body. Trying to get to an elevation it's accustom to. Lol
I love his songs but I prefer tighter arrangements but I don't think that has ever been his thing. I tend to think he and his backup bands have always been pretty loose, which sometimes doesn't sound particularly good.
Kenneth this man had 9 albums on the charts at the same time in 1982 (never been done before) an they wouldn't even nominate him for entertainer of the year! Hank got bigger than Nashville TN.
Saw Hank more than any band or artist in my 64 years ......... Back in the day Hank allowed cameras at all his shows ! NO ONE did that back then (Grateful Dead maybe) and I have a great photo album with awesome pictures from my 35 mm Cannon Those were the days my friend
You are so very talented. May God bless you and your Daddy. He’s in Heaven with your Mama, taking care of you When are you coming up to the North woods? Don’t worry, Bocephus, we won’t bite! Too cold up here in MinneSNOWta for that kind of action. Lol RIP Hank Williams
Let me start over, I seen Jr when he was 16, in charlotte N.C., my dad was a fan of his dad, after the show pop said he is good but he won't ever be as good as his dad, took pop to see him in the 90s at an out door concert in Charolotte and he was blown away, one of the best memories of my life, out of meny
I grew up about 30 miles south of where JR grew up. My grandfather knew Mr. Sheppard, JR'S grandfather. We went by his home place many times going to Columbus, GA. At the time I didn't think too much about it, but I do now. JR'S grandfather was a fine man.
I love Hank and grew up listening to all his music but don't think he knew what he hell he was talking about in this video. And yeah I know he was drunk asf.
Are you kidding!!!Hell yea we still watching tha man ,Down Here in Polk County fla.Country Boys for Sure ,this one's for Grady Judd better check youself!!!

I've been to 2 Hank shows and both shows the band went on break and Hank sat on a chair and kept going, AWESOME!!!
Seen him n Savannah GA back in 1992.
He did it at Salem civic center in 1985 and 1986 and it was the best two shoes I ever seen
Seen him at the Missouri state fair in Aug of 87 or 88, and again July 3rd 2021 at Miami Oklahoma. He was escorted off the stage by band members in 87/88 because he was too drunk to finish a song about 2 hours into the concert. Miami he played for about an hour and walked off sober.

My mom said she went to a couple of his concerts in the ninety’s and he got super drunk and had to go off stage and even tried to strip down…

Hes the 🐐 without a doubt. He does what he wants, when he wants and how he wants.
They broke the mould when they made jr! thank god . Absolute legend and patriot . God bless Hank Williams Jr 💘

Bullshit story
When Hank does it his way, he does it ALL THE WAY! His fans aren't just his fans, they're his family.
This man is the most talented, he can sing anything. He may have an attitude but it comes with style. Johnny Cash loved him and so do I.
I’ve been listening to Hank since I was 17. Saw him at the tower many years ago, he’s my favorite and always will be!
Ol' Hank Jr. Is havin a blast with this one. Most respect to that man. Long Live Hank!
Hank Williams Jr is a one of a kind that prove that a country boy can survive. God bless you Hank I always wanted to see him in concert. Love you Hank
HE'S AWESOME!!! I'VE SEEN HIM A COUPLE OF YRS AGO.
& I WANT TO GO BACK!!!!
I live in Alabama and I went to his Tuscaloosa concert that year and it was fucking awesome. Was drinking and screaming the whole concert and ended up smoking a joint on the way home that night 😂😂😂
Hank doesn't get the credit he deserves, for his guitar playing.
Cheryl Hinneburg, Not only that but dude doesn't get the recognition for the mutable instruments he knows how to play and that's a fact!!
Lol and playing it with the strings about to flop off. Showing the love from Mississippi
He does from people that pay attention
Yeaaa
Especially with an out of tune guitar...
Still an outlaw. Ole hank Jr,,,
And I'm still listining to him,,,
His guitar has such an awesome country twang to it
Few things in life can match the experience of seeing Hank in person and unfiltered and wondering just wtf he is gonna say at any given moment......I have been a huge fan since I was a kid (and that's been a couple of damn years) I have all the love and respect in the world for this man and his music and I am so thankful he has inspired some of the younger guys and gals that are coming up to do things THEIR way!
Tina I saw him in Huntsville Alabama early 90'$ and he kept screaming dim the d#mn lights. Hank dissappears comes back out with a 22 rifle shoots one of the lights before they dimmed them. Then the crowd got loud and he started singing family tradition! Probably my best memory!
Men like this represent so much of what this country stands for!!!! We love you hank.... 2021
Honestly I’m a huge Hank Jr. fan and this is my favorite version of the song I’ve found👍💯Country boys will always survive!!!
performed at the nra convention several years ago, awesome show.
Hank is timeless A true country icon.
I'm from Michigan and I been watching this country boy All My Life along with kid Rock
Probably the greatest entertainer of all time!
I grew up listening to Hank Jr. This man is the real deal!! The best Entertainer that ever hit the stage!!
One thing i like about hank jr performing is he personalised every song he sang
Thanks for your love and support I will like to give you a gift,you are a wonderful fans

Considering Randall is nearly 73 and this song came out in 1981 I'd say he is about the only artist who is better than the other ones!
Tell em like it is Bocephus
My favorite Bocephus song, saw him and what a great show, he played ever instrument on stage and played them all with precision.
Think this is the coolest thing I've seen in a while
West Virginia Coal Mines!!!Amen..God Bless our service Men and Women!!

Country girl can survive too!
He says girl in this song in other concert versions,look it up.
Ok Karen
Hank says it in this version as well country girls can survive
Damn right. We were raised... correctly😝
We need more Hank Williams Jr.
Been to 5 of Hank Jr shows an 3 of Kid Rock's . No one any better.
His father would be proud that he carried on the Hank Williams tradition.
Hank switches hats just about every song …. Fucking Legend
Respect to Hank! Also Charlie Daniels (RIP) They know what America's needs.
It is impossible to sing along with him at a concert
haha ain’t that the truth
I love his songs but I prefer tighter arrangements but I don't think that has ever been his thing. I tend to think he and his backup bands have always been pretty loose, which sometimes doesn't sound particularly good.
I am listening to this in 2021. This is real music.
2021 and he's still relevant
I agree bro
So much gusto! Always a good time when HWjr. hits the stage!
Hell yeah one of my favorite cause I'm an old school country fan 🤠
Man I love him woulda loved to heard him LIVE. Legend from a Legend.
I hope one day I can see this man live...
This is one of the greatest songs ever!! Just sing the way it is supposed to!!!
I love this. Still snubbed by the hall of fame
Kenneth this man had 9 albums on the charts at the same time in 1982 (never been done before) an they wouldn't even nominate him for entertainer of the year! Hank got bigger than Nashville TN.

Wow! He was serious doing this one🎸
Song never gets old👍💯
The first time I heard this song was when I got his Greatest Hits album back in 2004.
He and I play this song completely different but it sounds exactly the same. Crazy how them old time pickers shaped their chords.
I love this song on radio and love it more live
I'm not sure if it's the angle, the strumming, or the strings, but I've never watched acoustic strings just vibrate like that with conviction.
My man yes sir a country boy can survive. I have plenty of food in this pandemic. Thank you.
Most relevant song ever written.
It’s time to take our country back
Yes it is vote trump out!
Can't wait to see him this summer in Reno!
I want to go so bad but I'm moving hope you have a great time
