Rolled my first pickup with this song playing in the tape deck after finishing off a jug of beam and some tennesse walking powder. I was dumb as hell but damn does this song bring back those early days
Kyle Gardner I'm 29 loved 60s an 70s rock in high school found real country at 25 I just like real music. boy what an devorice ten years of hard living an harder drugs can show you about yourself
I grew up in southern California & my Dad ALWAYS had this playing at FULL VOLUME in the garage in the afternoon when I got off the bus from school. And now that I Now play this song and think back to those days we're some of the best days of my life with him! Plus the best Classic country music as well ❤️🩹😊❤ I hope that Your listening to Hank Williams SR in heaven ❤😊❤
@@wesleyloroff2736 Hank was the end of the good ol country unfortunately. Everything you hear now just gets worse and worse turning more into pop than country!
your dad had his head on straight. ever think about the favor that man did you. aside from giving you life, he gave you a life to live. i'm not as country as some folk, but goddamn hank williams jr and sr set themselves apart.
Everybody knows hank jr will always b the daddy of country and blues, the so called country music today ain't nuttin but really bad rock @ roll. Hank Willie Waylon brother merle hagord to and don't 4get bout O Johny Paycheck, man dem sure was good ol days.I hope and pray to the GOOD LORD that they hang around to my son gets older and hear and appreciate the love and in true music, whatever happened going back to basics?????
Just released from the vault....In the arms of crack, Whitney Houston. I do love Hank and this song on a real note. Got my first Hank Jr 8 track when I was 9 years old. Loved Hank then and love him now.
I didn't read all the comments, but I see anyone call this udderly outstanding diddy what it really is. A Blues Song. I been rolling wit this cat for 35 yrs. Much Love Jr.
I remember he was the first concert I'd been too that was in 1984 and was my favorite since I was a little girl. It was in Montgomery Al. And I was on my daddy's shoulders for most of the show I want never forget he wore his blue diamond suit! And of course his snake skin boots!! Man good times!!!
when will we hear music like this and words like this in country couple of decades almost nothing about the regular dude. if you are singer now and see this comment start writing about the nobodies of the world youll become a damn legend. all the material is out there. all over the place
This is one of the best songs it don't get much better than that! Hank your certainly one of akind. There's no way in Hell anyone could ever fill your shoes ! God broke the mold after you were created !
I can remember the first time I heard this song. I was about 23 and it just hit me hard. A musician, a rebel, a loner, and an addict of music and the other joys that go along with those evils... Many years, hay-bailed dances and drinks later, this song still sends chills through me that the abuse of a personal vice can do to a life... Many of those associated with this memory are gone, those still here, are not the same. So sad to see them now as the junkies of their past... John 3:16...
hey jamie mantooth thanks for all of your kind words! i found that if u just let stuff out to other people it helps me to cope with everything i went through an also what i mmight go through again!!!!!!
I grew up in easter ky. the Appalachian mountains part. Jim beam jack Daniels and hank Williams jr song country boy can survive. was our national anthem.
This was my life in a song... then again alot of his songs are. Cause thats what makes his songs real.. they are based in real life. I can remember 1000's of time throwing this cd at my DJ when i was a dancer coming right off a rail jammin to hank dancin' for my pain in ahank song while it rained $1... then for me came outlaw women.. " she dont mess with that stuff no more shes just here to listen to the band." is the next chapter of my life in a hank song! Make your mistakes then learn..
when he fell off that mountain he's never been the same!!!It brought out the Hank Sr.in him !!! had to damn near kill him but it happened,R.I.P. Merle k.
I love all 3hanks but I grew up jr my best friend Brown wants to meet Hank 3 I'm gonna make sure that happens for him , I love him n hanks my heros ....
my niece redbug had never herd this song before i got a friend to sing it to her an she really liked it SHE DIED 4 4 years later of a overdose on methadone an xanax' to many of our young peep r dieing 2 soon she is just one of them!!!!!! would you agree?
I rode that cocaine train for years,I have been clean for over 13yrs.The thing about that shit is when you break even on a kilo its time to fucking quit!!!!!
As Waylon Jennings once said; Hank Jr. makes Hank Sr. look like a sharecropper. Jr. wrote more songs, had more hits and most of all he lived. He lived!!
I wish UMG would re-release all of Hank Jr's early 1970's albums before his fall off Ajax Mountain,MT in '75 with all original album artwork and new liner notes.Them is as great as his his all the albums he made after his fall. Peace.
ironically his song family tradition. he explains that his music ain't exactly the same as his father's. hank w Jr is one reason we have this modern popular new age country.

Why can't Nashville figure out this is the country we want. Go Hank!
Unfortunately a large portion of kids, teens & young adults like modern pop country more than this.

Great testimony, I can see it
This will always be better than this new country pop bs they play on the radio, we need more hank Williams in the current industry🤟🏼
I call it pop country lol same thing yeah we need more real country. Grew up on his dad, Cash, Patsy
@@wesleyloroff2736 Hank was the end of the good ol country unfortunately. Everything you hear now just gets worse and worse turning more into pop than country!
my dad hooked me up when I was 6. He gave me a Easter basket in 86 with a country boy can survive cassette in it

Your pops deserves a medal
WGAF

When I first started reading your comment I thought you were saying your dad gave you cocaine at 6 😂😂😂😂
It’s 12am here in California. It’s an easy guess as to what I am up doing. Gotta love America.
Best musician ever! I spent many nights alone listening to his music and drinking.
@Ernan Animates & stuff 👍🏼

46 years old now and still living out his songs. Hell, I think they where all about me sometime
I'm with ya bra
Yawl still living out his songs?
There's a many of us that felt that way some time or the other cuz

Music will never be written with this much heart and soul again.

You damn right
Waylon is King. But Hank Jr. is very good
Hail Hank

Hank Willams Jr makes Hank Williams Sr. look like a share cropper.....because he lived- Waylon Jennings
I love Waylon but nobody makes Hank Sr. look like a sharecropper. I know this is very old but just had to comment.
Wild thinking this use to be a culture. Still is just a little different
