I'm a son of the South, age 71. I love this song as some of my relatives experienced the hardships as shown in the video. They survived! Part of the greatest generation... nothing but pride in my heart for them.
Nah, you gotta come down to the south, out in the country, away from the big cities. We're still here. Having hoedowns, cookouts, and taking care of each other.
Jesus Loves you Matthew 11:28 come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. As well as Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God (Jesus who died on the cross for our sins) is eternal life. As long as you put your faith and trust in Him.
You're so right! Close to each other. Close to the land. Close to Jehovah God. The spirit of the South is the very bones of the body of America. Live on, Dixie Land. You've endured. And will endure. So help us God!
It will never, ever happen, sorry but this is a fool hardy idea. What would happen to the black national anthem then? I know….flush it down the toilet while mixin it with urine and feces!! I do appreciate and honor your southern pride, but your idea is foolish dreamin!!
Farmer Alex: "we're Americans and America has had a lot of hardships but we're going to fight through." words of a true hard working farmer. even in the darkest of times they continue on with their work. *God bless every hardworking Farmer in the U.S.A. and the world*
This is dr Ubaja the great spell caster, there are a lot of people are suffer for what they don't know, that is why I'm here to teach knowledge, of how to cast spell for yourself in magic.
I grew up in a Northern upper middle class family that looked down on people from the South with those accents . As I entered the working world , I got to know many of these Southerners that had migrated North to work the mills , refinerys , etc to make a better life for their families . I found these folks to be some of the most hard working , honest people that I've had the pleasure to meet . Funny thing is , now I feel I have more in common with them than my Yankee family .
I know it's sad that people who live a simple existence are looked down on. Most people think country folks are idiots. Not true. It's sad that we're all supposed to be sophisticated these days. It's impossible to just be ordinary without criticism.
There was a time in this country that Democrats and Republicans got along and only did what was best for this country. Both were proud to be American. I miss those days
Same I want those so bad I hate this division and I grew up with I want to got back for the regan days am 22 years old btw this isn’t the America I want but we got to push though these rough 4 years ahead and don’t believe this peace and unity crap it’s only on the Democrat terms.
RIP Jeff Cook.. I remember the first time I heard Alabama as a kid living up north. My uncle from Florida was up visiting and played them for me, I was like 8... man, they just grabbed ya..real music
Poland: yeah u didn't have to be take over by 2 superpowers. Get a lot of your population killed. Be put in concentration camps and Soviet work camps. And then suffer under communism for the next 46 years.
Thecourier5555 That’s more of a polish problem...I’m sorry but it really isn’t America’s problem to deal with I mean I feel bad for y’all we all do but let me just put it bluntly we can’t really care cause it didn’t happen to us....we don’t know what it felt like so how are we going to know what you went through?
My mama always said that this is her anthem. She grew up poor, the daughter of a sharecropper in Alabama in the 1940's. She'd she sing this song loud and proud! Rest in Heaven, Mama

I remember being a kid standing in the front seat of my grandma's car singing this song to the "top of my little lungs" as she would say.... damn I miss her!!😢
True story I was at A place where this lady was playing pandora and I asked her if she could play SONG OF THE SOUTH true story the first words that came out of her mouth was "there's no swearing in this song is there?" Right then &there I was thinking to myself have ever heard of A band called ALABAMA
I was born and raised in Alabama. I went off to college and now live in Denver CO. I often go back to visit my family. No matter where I go, my heart and home will always be in the south! Roll Tide
This video is about to be something true for today's world. Thank you Alabama for your amazing music. Always uplifting no mater the hardships we face! God bless y'all and god bless us all!
Been living overseas for the past 5 years. This came up in my recommended. Grew up in East TN. Brought more than a damn tear to my eye. Hope southern culture never goes away. I feel like it will though :(
If the people here in Kentucky have any say our culture isn't going anywhere. And hey man, don't ya worry about a thing, we will be keeping the home fires burning until you return home to us🙏
Our southern heritage will never end. Just think about Star Trek 200 years in the future with them saying 'Y'all' while giving orders. A world without end.
Same here. It is especially precious seeing the visuals, they bring back memories. I know these people, grew up seeing happy faces in faded clothes and cares worn too early on other faces, but love and dignity all the same. Grew up in eastern NC tobacco country and moved to the city for office work. Feels like they could have been describing the 90s and 2000s for us. The fields are being bought up to put houses on, no more "October snow" in the roadside as they haul the cotton off. Very thankful to have grown up there. The culture won't go away if we don't let it. This and Dixieland Delight are some of the best representations of it. A couple years back, the ending made me look up the song Dixie, and the commentary from around the world was very encouraging. It isn't just Southern, it's regular people, and they're all over the world. Not the poor choices or the ugliness that still alloys our history, of course, but real people -- that resonates.
My grandfather use to tell me about the aftermath of the great depression. They were lucky though, because they never lost their farm and made enough to feed themselves. Also they came from germany after ww1 which was worse off than america.

Hearing this song always increases my Southern pride. The first verse is very much like the stories I heard from my grandparents who grew up in the South before and during the Great Depression. My maternal side was in southern Louisiana and paternal was in southern Mississippi. Fortunately none of them saw the Dust Bowl reach them since at least a couple of my great grandfathers made living in farming.
I still remember getting some Chinese student from Shanghai who knew some English hooked on this song when I was studying abroad two months in Spain of all places. My host family didn't know any English, but they liked the upbeat tune too. Somewhere, in Shanghai, there's a Chinese guy with a burned disc of old country music hidden away somewhere, listening to it where the Chinese government can't find it.
This song isnt racist, all yall are way too sensitive. And Im not even American. The South has its own pride, culture, and history (tho not all of it is great), the people down south are hard workers and good people. Love from Japan. Not all of yall might like us but know we appreciate yall.
I grew up listening to this, Im Canadian and I always defend the United States of America and the bounty of art and culture its people produced. God Bless America, Land of the Free.
@@calebpool8535 I'm canadian and we are way more left wing then the US so it's not a good idea at all, our conservative party is very similar too the Democrats
This song is truly amazing, hence touching my heart. Although being from Canada growing corn, the mindset is the same: Bless America and those who are free

Thank you on behalf of my fellow Southerners. We are often insulted and generally hated by many in the other areas of the USA, but we still have the rebel spirit and pride in our culture and heritage. Long live Dixieland!
My dad was born in Alabama and my mom was born in Kentucky. I was born in Indiana so I grew up until I was 9 until we moved to North Carolina. Talk about a mind f**k😂
People from this era were really tough. I remember my grandfather talking about how difficult it was but he said they did what they needed to do to survive. We don't realize how easy we have it.
CEOkiller Yea well if the south had never declared civil war (Aka "the souths war for the right to own slaves" ) there never would have been any problem, so the south can blame the south for its own problems. If you bomb the world trade center we're coming after you, and if try to enslave an entire race on our nations soil we will fuck you up. Go Sherman, get em! ayayayayayayayayayayayayayyayaya attack!
***** I don't hate it! Thats the point! It doesn't matter what side of a country live on. It the most arbitrary thing in the world, but a certain patch of southern people seem to think its the most important thing in the world. Nobody in the north and sane southerns don't care.

Justonia U That’s not something to be ashamed of. Everyone is ignorant about some topic or another. African countries are constantly looked down upon in various forms of media here in the US. He’s just wondering if those statements are in any way factual. Would I know? No, as I’ve never been there. See, I’m ignorant too, but that’s not a bad thing. I’m willing to learn.
You just can't beat Good Ole "Alabama" ! saw them in concert in 1987 in Dallas, Tx." Randy Travis" and the "Judds" played as well. What a concert!! Great Memories!#!!
That's a clever way to say you're young and listen to the "good old stuff" without saying "I'm only 17 and I only love this music." I see what you did there.
Just moved back to my families 162 acre farm, got the keys to my new home today. My dad worked that farm hard, he was a rail road man and worked hard all his life. He passed at 56 in 2009 from cancer, my mom left because she was depressed and didn’t want to be out there alone and it fell into disrepair, well I just retired from the army and I’m back. Couple old farmers seen me and said “are you Gary’s boy?” I said yes sir and I’m home to bring it back. Playing this song because I’m home

My Grandpa used to tell me about these times. He grew up poor in rural West Virginia, used coal to heat up. Made one dollar per day, lucky to eat 2 meals, usually only one. A new pair of shoes was his best Christmas gift because he always got used/hand-me down, even then those were a blessing because no shoes/walking barefoot were common. Later on, after the war, he got a manufacturing job as a machinist and promoted to supervisor, on only a 8th grade education. Ended up owning his own home, a car and a truck, and was able to retire at a good age. He actually turned down a higher position with even more money, because he was content with what he had and rather spend time with his family and helping family/friends with home projects or making furniture (carpentry was his pastime).That's the American Dream.
Same for me dude you are really describe real man but for me my grandfather was a woodcutting during 1940s provence of quebec in small village and he gain herblife by working and now he is to retread and l live same a real men for his family .
I know exactly what he's talking about...Confederatos...lot of southerners settled in southern brazil after the civil war. Still descendants of American Southerners in a couple regions of southern brazil.
This song is so nostalgic. I miss being a youngster in Texarkana. Papa, nanny, Al, Peggy, Ralph, Barbara, Ricky, Uncle Greg, RIP. Miss ya'll, keep a spot warm in the clouds for me 🙏❤
yes this is a great song always has been always will be forever and that is a promise and I also love this music of the south of the united states too always did always have always do always will forever and that is a promise
Me too, I grew up on Statler and gatlin Brothers, and lots of other artists from that era. Of course I still love me some Garth Brooks and a few from that era as well.
This is REAL country! Used to rock out to this when I was a kid. Driving through the woods, pop an Alabama cassette in, pop open a can of Copenhagen, and it just couldn't get any better.
This song makes me proud to be a southerner, and makes me feel comfortable with my accent, and slang in my vocabulary. The south will always be in my blood, and arkansas will forever be my home.
Hell I'm from Kansas (so obviously not Southern) and I love this song. My grandparents grew up in the Great Depression here and it was brutal for them. My grandpa's family lost their farm and had to move to the city and he started working at 11 years old driving a milk truck to help support the family. Hearing stuff like this makes me think of how tough you had to be back then just to make it through that time.
As a Russian who was partially raised in America, this song is amazing. I used to have two dachas in the southern Russia. And the southern folks seemed to have the same mentality as I do. I always loved the south for their culture and spirit to survive

Such a good song, my mom got to see them with my Mema back in the day! My Mema loved Alabama- she's since passed sadly, but I am reminded of her loving spirit everytime I hear them! They're coming this month & I'd love to see them! Listening to the local country station, Tanner on "big country" said Alabama is coming & I set alarms to try to win tickets! (My best friend Tanner passed away in 2015, my Mema in 2017- with Tanner being the dj giving away tickets to Alabama, I think it's a sign to try and win tickets for me & my mom to see them!)

This song isnt racist, all yall are way too sensitive. And Im not even American. The South has its own pride, culture, and history (tho not all of it is great), the people down south are hard workers and good people. Love from Japan. Not all of yall might like us but know we appreciate yall.
We do like you and glad that you can see through all of the lies! Trump for 2024
Nobody says it's racist. Nobody.
I see Americans calling patriotic ones racist, just a foreigner looking on the outside@@isaowater
I think what I love about some of the Alabama songs is that they tell a story about real life. They take you back in time. There is an actual message.
That's so true
Hello how are you doing
Sleep tight Mr. Cooke. God bless you & thanks for all the amazing music that was the soundtrack to my childhood.
I'm proud to be from the south and the state of Tennessee. I feel lucky to have grown up in the south and I love my southern people.
My teacher was from Tennessee I don’t know where but she said she was from there
Too bad Tennessee is a red state

@@WindsorCalvary Dem

56 from Texas. Still remember when Alabama released this song. My Army buddy Tidwell and I used to sing this song!
This isn't about being southern. This is about being American and loving one another.
Amen ❤
I grew up listening to this, Im Canadian and I always defend the United States of America and the bounty of art and culture its people produced.
God Bless America, Land of the Free.
Thank you, and pray that we find our way back...
Thank you. I hope the American people can learn to move straight forward instead of trying to change the past.
True brother
And i wanna live in Canada cause democrats and liberals are burning down the nation because of what they heard on CNN
@@calebpool8535 I'm canadian and we are way more left wing then the US so it's not a good idea at all, our conservative party is very similar too the Democrats
Hello from Virginia long live the South, I love the South!!
From a North Carolinian, the South is garbage.
I don't believe in any more than 2 genders, but Obama was ok.
Gary Gilliam Hello Gary from Kentucky!
as a north carolinian
the south is great
Chesapeake right here!
The footage from the dustbowl is stirring, we forget those hard times and the hearty people who endured them...
This is the best kind of country .
+CxTop823 nice pic lol
thanks,boston was an awesome band
+CxTop823 Correction, they still are an awesome band. Even though Brad Delp is gone, their new singer's voice is amazing and they're still rocking.
I agree! :) Me and my dad used to listen to this song all the time and years later I still love it
So true I just figured out the song name after years of scerching
This song is truly amazing, hence touching my heart. Although being from Canada growing corn, the mindset is the same: Bless America and those who are free
Happy early birthday
Thank you so much from the states 🙏
I've had the privilege of visiting Canada with my family back in the 90's. I loved it, I felt at home. God Bless you and Canada.
God bless you and your amazing country!!
Good ol Alabama
Alabama never gets old, gotta love it!
Alabama playing close enough to perfect for me

"Southerners" should never give up their pride and identity! THEY ARE THE REAL AMERICANS! Greetings from Hungary! ☝️✝️🇭🇺🙏💪👍❤
You don’t know the first thing about America. The South almost destroyed our country.
@@flavortown289and we'll do it again too muahaha!
@@mmeeehhh Nah, you missed your chance.
Thank you on behalf of my fellow Southerners. We are often insulted and generally hated by many in the other areas of the USA, but we still have the rebel spirit and pride in our culture and heritage. Long live Dixieland!
@@flavortown289Not destroyed, only downsized by 13 states. The USA would have continued with the CSA as your neighbor. 😊
As a 4th generation Southerner, I went up north to study.Differant world.Damn It was so damn good to get back to my people again. Southern ideals man.
Them yanks are like a pissed off rattler.
My dad was born in Alabama and my mom was born in Kentucky. I was born in Indiana so I grew up until I was 9 until we moved to North Carolina. Talk about a mind f**k😂
People from this era were really tough. I remember my grandfather talking about how difficult it was but he said they did what they needed to do to survive. We don't realize how easy we have it.
So true
Soft people make hard times, hard times make tough people
We have it way to easy now
Hello 👋. how are you doing..?
God bless the south, the most misunderstood and belittled part of the nation.
True and to all those who belittle the south kiss our southern ass

Ga boy right here. Born and raised.
@@dirtracing1939 heck yeah
Never lived in the south, but this band gets love from me in Los Angeles.
Stay in California, you will not be welcomed in the south.
U still pretty south my guy lol.... im from far north Canada and gets me too.
Love how it shows that the south allways finds a way to get by and get through problems
Southern strong!
Hell, we needed to! The South did not recover from the States' War (aka War of Northern Aggression) until at least the 1940's...
CEOkiller Amen, brother!
CEOkiller Yea well if the south had never declared civil war (Aka "the souths war for the right to own slaves" ) there never would have been any problem, so the south can blame the south for its own problems. If you bomb the world trade center we're coming after you, and if try to enslave an entire race on our nations soil we will fuck you up. Go Sherman, get em! ayayayayayayayayayayayayayyayaya attack!
***** I don't hate it! Thats the point! It doesn't matter what side of a country live on. It the most arbitrary thing in the world, but a certain patch of southern people seem to think its the most important thing in the world. Nobody in the north and sane southerns don't care.
Who's still watching this and thinking this is one of the most underrated videos in country music history some 30 years later???

Good song
Am Pure African real love the song as I start to grow my 1st sweat potatoes in Tanzania 🇹🇿 African
Billythedog Bob damn you are ignorant
I hope the Sweet Potatoes come in well
Justonia U That’s not something to be ashamed of. Everyone is ignorant about some topic or another. African countries are constantly looked down upon in various forms of media here in the US. He’s just wondering if those statements are in any way factual. Would I know? No, as I’ve never been there. See, I’m ignorant too, but that’s not a bad thing. I’m willing to learn.
Gonna make some pie?
Awesome comment
The south will indeed rise again, sooner than later it seems. Makes me happy.
I grew up in the north and this was engraved in my memory. I miss everything from then. I miss you AMERICA
Come home then
Not country, but also a great band.
And Alabama. Still sticking to our beliefs.
Out of the 17 years I've been alive this song still chills my spine.
This video only adds to it. Long live Alabama👌🏼
Yeah, that ending .... i thought that I was the only one that this song gave me chills.
You just can't beat Good Ole "Alabama" ! saw them in concert in 1987 in Dallas, Tx." Randy Travis" and the "Judds" played as well. What a concert!! Great Memories!#!!
i feel ya man
That's a clever way to say you're young and listen to the "good old stuff" without saying "I'm only 17 and I only love this music." I see what you did there.
Just moved back to my families 162 acre farm, got the keys to my new home today. My dad worked that farm hard, he was a rail road man and worked hard all his life. He passed at 56 in 2009 from cancer, my mom left because she was depressed and didn’t want to be out there alone and it fell into disrepair, well I just retired from the army and I’m back. Couple old farmers seen me and said “are you Gary’s boy?” I said yes sir and I’m home to bring it back. Playing this song because I’m home
Bless you. Can't wait to move back to my place.
You can never step in the same river twice. Still, there are things that are worth preserving. May your efforts yield bountiful fruit.
Hell yeah, brother!
God bless you brother!!!!!!
God Bless you bro Jeff Cook thank you for the awesome music you left with us U will be remembered Fly High Jeff😢
god bless the south.
yes sir

My Grandpa used to tell me about these times. He grew up poor in rural West Virginia, used coal to heat up. Made one dollar per day, lucky to eat 2 meals, usually only one. A new pair of shoes was his best Christmas gift because he always got used/hand-me down, even then those were a blessing because no shoes/walking barefoot were common. Later on, after the war, he got a manufacturing job as a machinist and promoted to supervisor, on only a 8th grade education. Ended up owning his own home, a car and a truck, and was able to retire at a good age. He actually turned down a higher position with even more money, because he was content with what he had and rather spend time with his family and helping family/friends with home projects or making furniture (carpentry was his pastime).That's the American Dream.
your grandpa sounds like one heck of a man!
Virginia here my grandad went to work mining coal underground at age 14, lived to be 98. The stories we was told.
Same for me dude you are really describe real man but for me my grandfather was a woodcutting during 1940s provence of quebec in small village and he gain herblife by working and now he is to retread and l live same a real men for his family .
Country Roads take me home
I'm from West by God and my grandfather did the same exact thing man!!! I'll always be West Virginia Proud!! #hardestworkingstate
It is a pleasure for me to be listening to this music here in southern Brazil! As many say here:”The south is my country". :D
You are a terrible person
?
É us guri
I know exactly what he's talking about...Confederatos...lot of southerners settled in southern brazil after the civil war. Still descendants of American Southerners in a couple regions of southern brazil.
sim amigo, você não esta sozinho :D
Unless you live here, you'll never understand how awesome the South is. North Carolina born, raised, and proud.
I don't live in the South... but I wish I did :)
Ditto, born up north, lived down South for over a decade. No comparison, the South and Southern folk win by a long shot.
Same, I love the south, North Carolina.
Good to see another NC born and raised country boy!
Absolutely man. Will never be ashamed
This song is so nostalgic. I miss being a youngster in Texarkana. Papa, nanny, Al, Peggy, Ralph, Barbara, Ricky, Uncle Greg, RIP. Miss ya'll, keep a spot warm in the clouds for me 🙏❤

Proud of my Southern Heritage. Not ashamed in the least.
Do you know what the song is about?
Ashamed??
You shouldn't be! Proud Southerners!

Welcome on board.
So proud to have you here!! God bless you!!❤❤❤
Hell yeah, brother!
My Dream is to once again see the America I was born and raised into...😢 What a time.
Back in a time when country music wasn't pop or rap. I miss those days.
Me too, I grew up on Statler and gatlin Brothers, and lots of other artists from that era. Of course I still love me some Garth Brooks and a few from that era as well.
God pop country is awful
@I Trigger People For Fun No it isnt
@I Trigger People For Fun you trigger me for fun :)
OG rap is good u crazy
This song brings tears to my eyes. Reminds me of my Dad
Me too,💔💔
I’m from Germany and love this song! Thank you America 🇺🇸 for country music
I also love this song too always did always have always do always will forever and that is a promise
The south will rise again! And you're welcome
This is REAL country! Used to rock out to this when I was a kid. Driving through the woods, pop an Alabama cassette in, pop open a can of Copenhagen, and it just couldn't get any better.
You rocked out to country music? I thought you could only rock out to rap? Or rock out to rock? Or classical? Music is music enjoy!
This song makes me proud to be a southerner, and makes me feel comfortable with my accent, and slang in my vocabulary.
The south will always be in my blood, and arkansas will forever be my home.
Hell I'm from Kansas (so obviously not Southern) and I love this song. My grandparents grew up in the Great Depression here and it was brutal for them. My grandpa's family lost their farm and had to move to the city and he started working at 11 years old driving a milk truck to help support the family. Hearing stuff like this makes me think of how tough you had to be back then just to make it through that time.
I’m Canadian but always have wanted to go to the south and I have a great admiration for your sense of pride! Love from Canada 🇺🇸🇨🇦
North Florida is my home... Love the south..and proud to be a southern girl!
yeee haaaa
Have fun with that. I'll keep my fir tree forests, white topped mountains, and sane people.
As a Hispanic male I blast this song in my big red truck 💪🏽
As a European I blast this song in my living room so even the neighbours can hear it
Good to break stereotypes not having a green truck
@@bon-chan7197 I’m rolling😂😂
Good for you! I love it!
I’m Hispanic too, I’m can’t stop listening to this song
As a Russian who was partially raised in America, this song is amazing. I used to have two dachas in the southern Russia. And the southern folks seemed to have the same mentality as I do. I always loved the south for their culture and spirit to survive
Any one in 2024
Yes bro
Here love my South❤❤ Always❤❤
Timeless
A classic.
Right here
Who's still listening in 2024 raise your hand ....from Fort Worth, Texas
Listening from Washington state
Listening from Kentucky
Glasgow, UK
I am. America was great back then, just getting up off the floor from Iran hostage crisis and bolstered by 1980 US Hockey team.
I am still believing that we can get back there from here
I'm not american but i love this kind of music
Hello 👋. how are you doing today
This song has always made me proud to be a son of The South. Love all my southern brothers and sisters of all races, religions and creeds.
God bless america!!! Awsome song🇺🇸🇧🇷

Such a good song, my mom got to see them with my Mema back in the day! My Mema loved Alabama- she's since passed sadly, but I am reminded of her loving spirit everytime I hear them! They're coming this month & I'd love to see them! Listening to the local country station, Tanner on "big country" said Alabama is coming & I set alarms to try to win tickets! (My best friend Tanner passed away in 2015, my Mema in 2017- with Tanner being the dj giving away tickets to Alabama, I think it's a sign to try and win tickets for me & my mom to see them!)
yes this is such a good song always has been always will be forever and that is a promise
@@captainjacksparrow9728 sadly I missed out on seeing them, but here's to hoping, one day!
I remember the day when Alabama won all sorts of awards. They were a good group; I think better than what is out there today.
