  • I hadn't heard of Justified. I'm just a son and grandson of coal miners in West Virginia...and a bigfan of Brad Paisley!

  • Beautiful song

  • it IS the best show on television

  • can someone plz tell me how i can watch this show "justified" im from knott co. originally and i don't know how to watch it.?

  • @scorpious105

    Go to the website for FX networks click on shows, then click on Justified.

    Season 1 on DVD right now. Season 2 is projected for Jan or Feb 2012.

  • @scorpious105

    It is on Wednesday nights at 10:00 PM on FX networks during the winter months into spring.

  • the farm at 2:12 is in Europe...check the license plates on the cars!

  • Justified does not represent the real Harlan.

  • Darrel Scott wrote the song. His version is a little different from this. All 3 versions I have heard are pretty good and they're all a little different. Darrel Scott, Patty Loveless and Brad Paisley.

  • good taste in music brought me here.. not some tv show

  • My dad grew up in a place like this only in India in the middle of a swamp, not much there and a litle slow but I like to reminisce about it.

  • God bless all of the coal miners, i know kentucky supports them, and so do i and im from kentucky

  • This is where im from and im happy bout it my hole family was a coal miner and still is and that first picture is my great great papaw

  • This is where im from and im happy bout it my hole family was a coal miner and still is

  • I used to live in Coalcity.I live in London Ky and coal miners and their families are the same everywhere,Hard working,close knit,decent and dependable.My grandpa,dad and uncles we're all coal minesr and I used to haul mine supplies.This country owes an awful lot to our coal miners!!!

  • thumbs up if you lovin this song had nothin to do with justified

  • @dianeemiller I love this song because my husband loved it...

  • @dianeemiller Patty Loveless, thank you very much :) I'm not sure which version is better.

  • @typacsk lol i havent been able to decide but i loove both!

  • My husband grew up in Harlan County, KY. Last September, 28 years after he was born there, our three daughters and I took his ashes home to Harlan County, KY to spread them over his grandparents' graves. He always knew he would go back home so we took him home.

  • @threegirlpeaches That's incredibly sad. No of us is long for this world, but 28 years is hardly anything at all.

  • I've lost a grandfather and a father to the mines. Ironically, I'm about to go under ground.

  • Justified is my favorite show...love all the characters especially Raylan....he is fantastic. Have been listening to this song since I bought a CD of Patty Loveless in 2002. I also like Brad's version. It is perfect for the past season . I really like the opening song of each episode. I get annoyed when they run a commercial over the closing song.

  • thumbs up if you live in kentucky

  • Naturally, I was led to this video by the Justified season finale. All of this is interesting to me, since part of my family came from Kentucky and I currently live in a small town not unlike the Harlan of Justified. Sometimes I surprise people when I say that, despite having family in the Midwest and South, all of my relatives who fit a stereotypical white trash mold live in my home state of Washington, rather than Kentucky or Missouri.

  • yea it was perfect waited all season for this song to be on the show

  • i live 30 minutes away from harlan an all my family is coalminers

  • my blood line lies in the dark hills of eastern Kentucky. my mother is the first since my great great gran parents, who were miners, moved there to leave Kentucky. and on my dads side my great grandfather Sterling was more on the Bennett side of making money but he never left "Harlan" alive.

  • This song touches my very soul as deep as any mine shaft. My family background are coal miners from Missouri, not Kentucky, but the saga is much the same. As a child I watched my great-grandpa wither away from black lung and die. He survived a cave-in once, and numerous other scrapes but decades later the mine still got him. I guess no matter where you mine, you never leave Harlan alive.

  • Weighing in a bit late. Another Justified fan here. I like how they used this song at the end of season two, the same as season one. Season one was awsome, and season two topped it by a long shot. Here's to hoping season three is even better.

  • @Gunfucius never gonna happen lol. Mags Bennett was one of a kind, one of the very best characters from any series I've seen.

  • season finale of justified...WOW

  • Amazing and fitting song to finish the Season! Very good artist i'll have to check out more of his work!

  • A song sung (very well) by Brad Paisley. It was written by Darrell Scott.

  • So glad to see the Justified allegiance weighing in. What an amazing season this has been.

    

  • Justified slowly becoming one of the best shows on TV. Great song too.

  • its one of the best songs that hit my soul

  • love this song makes me think of my mom and brother my mom lives in harlan ky with my 18 year old brother i live in floirda its hard my brother is a coal miner

    

  • Love this song!! Heard it on Justified, which is set in Harlan. Great show, great song. Thx.

  • black mounatin ky

  • @Mrnathan100 Buckhannon, W.V.

  • Harlan is where my parents were born and raised, myself and two older brothers were born and lived there also. My Great Grandfather owned and operated a coal mine there until his business partner shot and killed my Grandfather in Cold Blood

  • @gravelhead65 DAMN!!!

  • The first minute of this song is cool, then it starts to suck.

  • sung by, not by

  • Just for a little Information Brad Paisley did not Write this it has been around for awhile it is my favorite version.This has my family written all over this song considering Tilley Helton is part of my family. Catrons Creek is where my family is from on my dad's side. I was born In pineville memorial hospital and lived in Harlan for very little dont remember much considering I was about 1 when we moved to tennessee we moved here cause mom did not want me and my brother to work in the mines

  • @HPCSEU2010 your dumb as shit, patty loveless wrote this.

  • @obviousahole you are dumb as shit, it was originally written by Darrell Scott dumb fuck

  • xD I'm from Corbin, KY! I feel about the same way lol.

  • Thumbs up if you got to this video thanks to the season finale of Justified!

  • @wisdomcube316 heck ya man one of the best shows on TV!

  • my whole family is coal miners and im going to be and this is the best song ever mad and im a big Brad Paisley

  • My Grandpa Luther Howard and his dad worked in them hell holes in Harlan Kentucky to keep food on the table for there famlies, my dad Allen Howard was born in Harlan Kentucky, my great grandpa died of black lung while some slob sat at home collecting all the money, these people risked there lives everyday with little pay, this song realy hit home for me and my dad, and what a true song it is, your truely a great artist Brad, thanks and God bless all who died there, they are all true hero's 2 me!

  • I love this song and it fits to my family and all the sacrifices they made for our family

  • Just finished Justified. I found this a perfect song to end the season.

  • give a thumbs up for cumberland, whitesburg and even jenkins!! :D

  • Yes,suddenly everyones from kentucky,I call bullshit.

  • Yes,suddenly everyones from kentucky,I call bullshit.

  • these words are so true i grew up in harlan kentucky

  • @gretaguro1 thats pretty cool man

  • God Bless your dad.

  • Darrell Scott writes some great songs.

  • I wonder if Brad's Grand daddy really did ask Tilly Helton to be his bride, I was born a Helton. Just think, Brad & I just might be cousins!!! :)

  • @auntieg778

    Sorry Darrell Scott wrote this song about his great grandfather

  • what are any of you arguing about. none of you are from harlan and none of you are coal miners.

  • @johnnyboy922 I see no arguing, My father was not a coal miner, but I am from Hyden Kentucky(town near Harlan, coal mining town, I grew up knowing many coal miners, It takes a real man to choose that line of work, God bless the coal miners.!!!

  • My grandpa was a miner in Wise County Virginia then he moved to Harlan Kentucky. It was hard seeing him go though what its like to be a miner, but he loved it! I miss my grandpa :( We love you pa-paw! ♥

    This song also describes my bestfriends life. Its crazy how dead-on it is! :)

  • one thing its spelt HARLAN not HARLEN......lol

  • Its coal not gold in the hills

  • @Megapiro People call it BLACK GOLD in eastern Kentucly,

  • Just a point of clarity this song was written by Daryl Scott and its the story of his life after he and his family moved to Kentucky.SO its not about drinking moonshine or any other liquor its a straight forward song SO JUST ENJOY!!!!!!!!

  • Sweet! 

  • does anybody actually trace their bloodlines to harlen like me

  • @FREAKYJ1000 My bloodlines are not from harlan, but I am from a town near Harlan..............Hyden is where I was born and raised, proud of it too!!

  • This is not His song. This was written by Darrell Scott. A better muscian and song writer by FAR. So you can scratch that "by: Brad Paisley" shit. "as sung by" ok, but it's not his song.

  • @Caroliner9r I doesn't say "Brad Paisley wrote this" in the title so quit your whining. Its sung by Brad Paisley not Darrel Scott.

  • @Redheadhockey1 Don't bother correcting Mr. Know it all. Leave this mold spore to me. He just got his computer & is surfing youtube and gay porn sites interjecting his own brand of musical knowledge that only he can understand. He doesn't understand that credit for authoring a song is rarely credited except in small print under the name of the song. Could you imagine radio DJ's telling listeners who wrote every song as well as performers? Caroliner9r is an Idiot.

  • @Caroliner9r Hey dumbfuck. Are we having fun yet. Did you know that music as any art form is subjective? There is no such category as better musician or song writer, It's simply your opinion. Most financially successful musician and yourself included can't read music nor understand why standard tuning sounds "good" to American ears. Other cultures don't adhere to this very limited standard open E tuning. Prove that Darrel Scott is a better musician and song writer? You sir are an Idiot. 

  • @Caroliner9r Correction on the legal issue here. If this version of the song is performed by Brad Paisley, then the person of this video has to give credit to Brad Paisley, Unless this person used the Daryl Scott version. Please be aware of the copywrite laws. This person is completely accurate about placing in the tag that it is "by Brad Paisley"

  • I live in harlan and this song is pretty much dead on. It's almost scary.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome song. Perfect for the Finale of Justified

  • This is a good song & video & just tell all those who criticize you & what your family did tell them to go try it themselves.

  • This song should be the new state song for Kentucky.

  • I love this song. My papaw was in the coal mines and several other members of my family was to. I also love this song case it represents my state of Kentucky about it's great mountains and all the hard work our coal miners have done and continue to. do.

  • who is the girl at 0:44?

  • i live in south east kentucky and my uncle drives a truck to harlan like everyday so this song hits close to home if you know what i mean

  • Is this really pics taken in harlen?Great vid

  • Mate, I gotta tell ya...your dad's one lucky SOB....

  • This was played in the Season One finale of "Justified" that aired June 8th, 2010. It was played over the final scene.

  • Justified is such an amazing show. I swear FX has the best shows with Justified and Sons Of Anarchy

  • @Doug212MLG Rescue me, Sunny, Not to mention the movies....Jesus, its the only bloody think owned my fox that isnt corrupt.

  • @EagleVendetta

    Sunny is HILARIOUS!

  • @ifuckkittens KITTEN MITTENS.

  • thats an awesome song i heard it on justified on fx, that should be the new theme song of it.

  • @uchihabro77 I was thinking that and wondering maybe season 2 will have it because it fits way better than their theme song now.

  • @uchihabro77

    +100 to you uchiha.... I hate justified's rap/country song... freaking colt ford piece of shit...lol... I live on the border of va/ky...near cumberland gap... I like rap and i like country... but dont mixem...

  • Just watched season finale of Justified. What a song to end the season.

  • @affliction187 yah me too lol i am not really in music like this but this song is really good!

  • @affliction187 Justified is nothin like Harlan. That show should be canceled.

  • @MrCSXboy98 Its a fucking TV show.

  • @MrCSXboy98 It's a good show. Who cares about how real it is? Supernatural is about fighting satan.

  • @MrCSXboy98 Harlan, Hazard, and Hyden Kentucky..........all Gods country, good people and hard working people, folks there will do about anything to help another person, just don't cross them!!

  • @gretaguro1 Hmm.. Im from there so i think i know ;3

  • @MrCSXboy98 im not from there so my comment may have no validity but from the research i've done the last couple days it's pretty close. maybe not the automatic weapons but the coal mining, pills and marajuana, and every culture has knuckle heads. hell down here in louisiana people think all of us "wrastle" aligators. not true in the least. before this show i knew nothing of this area and now i can identify with these people because of oil industry in louisiana.

  • @smizerene Coal mining - correct. Pills - correct. But its not even filmed near harlan county, or kentucky, of that matter.

  • @MrCSXboy98 yes unfortunately only the pilot was filmed there. now they film in california. i'm definately hooked man. sorry if it rubs you the wrong way

  • @affliction187 Gave me chills for sure! I'm pumped for the second season!

  • @affliction187 they used the same one on the 2nd season tonight.

  • @affliction187

    this works for season two as well

  • im from bell county ky just out side of harlan in pineville i love this song

  • great song to end the first season of justified. perfect.

  • I was so glad they used this song in the Justified finale! I was wondering if they would ever use it.

  • They just used this song in the Justified season finale, which prompted me to find it

  • Wewt to everyone from Hazard KY =D

  • Love this song.... cant really explain why.... shortly after hearin this song for the first time I found out some of my family came out of Kentucky way back when..... interesting....

  • isn't it a doctorate? but maybe not............depending on where you got it.

  • Comment removed

  • I love Kentucky. The mountains there are beautiful. Makes me sad to see them blown up. Especially when people are being put out of business because of those stupid machines.

  • love this song....very relaxing and calming....one of my new favs

  • Everyone on my mom's side of the family grew up in Harlan. I love it there. It's so pretty.

  • Songs good. congrats from all in Hazard Kentucky Perry co.

  • i love this song,and im proud to live in Kentucky!!

  • One of my favorite songs, but it's written by Darrell Scott. I prefer Darrell's version the best, but this one is pretty good as well.

  • Hey I just wanted to say that I really like your video. I'm from knott co...so I'm from a coal mining family too

  • im a proud eastern kentuckian and miner.this song is better when patty loveless sings it tho.

  • eastern kentucky? do you know any Ritchies, Martins, or Shepards? I also like patty's version much better but it needs some pictures.

  • I'm a not-so-proud resident of Virginia, but this song is great.

  • I love this song. I'm a proud Kentuckian. =D

  • WOW the incompetance of some people to not be able to read into the meaning of a song.......COAL is all this song is about!!!

  • Comment removed

  • damn marcus do you not have anything to do with that big degree besides argue with people on youtube.. youve been bitching and moaning for a month about this song... i bet its growing on ya everytime you write a comment and have to listen to it.

  • And COAL is NOT a mineral! .. (shakes head..) Coal is actually petrified layers of dead trees that fell into swamplands long long ago.. Minerals are not formed that way..Coal does not qualify to be a mineral at all.. But..well.. Here in Appalachia it sure is! That bituminous coal is the exception, right..?

  • The reference to 'minerals' is not a direct reference to coal but to the mineral rights of the land owners who were cheated by the mining corporations, who paid a fraction of what those mineral rights are actually worth. The land owners loss was more than monetary. The mining company takes over the communities' way of life, and the individual citizens lose control over everything. All that is left is the escape through alcohol.

  • So.. When ole Brad sings about pouring stiff in the cup, I guess he isn't talking about moonshine..? And when you listen to the lyrics and read them, he isn't talking about moonshine there either..? You know, besides the Derby, Kentucky is famous for its moonshine and whisky.. No chance Brad was singing about that..? C'mon..he was! This song is about bourbon whisky and shine..not coal.. Read the lyrics..

  • first of all brad didnt write this song. and it is about coal mining.

  • yes, it is about coal mining but at the same time it's about so much more, like the sacrifices you make, and knowing that every day you head down may be the last time you saw the daylight, your wife, or kids. If you knew a coal miner you would definately see farther than the chorus line.

  • mother fucker, you have no idea. i live in harlan ky, the songs not about drinking. when ur born in harlan, your automatically dirt poor. theres no jobs, you cant work urself up and out. u just cant. u become a coal miner or live on welfare, either way, ur not leaving. also, this is part 2 that he wrote, the original is from the fifties. before that, there was a song in the thirties. so, take it from soomeone who knows.

  • man thats the first song he sung at the annual coalfest and he even dedicated at the coalfest to coal mining

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry to respond so late to your post on the assault of my character. It has took some time for me to decide if you were worth the response time. You're not. Good day!

  • If it was talking about moonshine why would it just refer to Harlan. It's talking about coal mining

  • On a side not though people (in respect here!)

    Coal is only techniclly considered a 'mineral' in geologic definitions. Coal is actually considered a fossilized rock, from a geographic definition.

    Just a not there to people who refer to coal as a 'mineral' It's not really a mineral, not by geographic standards and definitions.

    Go figure. (just a side note there)

  • Curious to wonder if there really is a grave marker in Harlan that says that. Does anybody know?

  • yes, its on the side of catorons mountain. in catorons creek harlan ky. i live there. but u cany find it, cuz of the overgrowth. ive looked.

  • Ive worked in the dark dungeon for around 3yrs now, the average 9-5 person doesnt have a clue nor should they open their mouth because they deffinitely dont have any idea about it.... Awesome video by the way.

  • you damn sure wouldnt leave harlan alive

  • LOL! GrizzlyAkers1. My father was a coalminers and it was one of the hardest jobs he had. He almost died and a lot of good hardworking men have lost their lives trying to provide for their family's. marcusvwvuspa obviously doesn't know what its like to work that hard.

  • I have my Doctorite, do you..?

  • i dont have to have a doctorite to know that over half the stuff you use in your every day life either comes from coal or coal was used in the process of making it

  • No but you do not have to have a Doctorite to have common sense. Which obviously you are lacking. Also, humility is not one of you strong points if you feel you have to tell a stranger you have one. Brag much?

  • Comment removed

  • Intelligence and Common sense are two completely different things. Even Marilyn vos Savant - the world's highest IQ holder agrees to that. You can have one and not the other, or you can have both. It all depends on the person and the capacity of the person to do what they want to do. Humility..? I teach close to 600 students per year on average (both terms combined), and trust me, I know what humility is; and my students learn that from me as well.

  • you do know that it's spelled "doctorate"? clearly you are not that well educated...

  • My spelling isn't that great, but that's actually normal for people with higher IQ's. No, I'm not saying I have one of those because I don't agree with IQ testing at all, but according to science.. well, anyway, you get my drift..

  • no, I don't get it. probably because of your completely unsupported argument. but anyway, the lyrics are: "And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking"- the only times he mentions a drink. that lyric is followed in one chorus by "And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave", clearly a reference to coal. the number of times he refers to coal or related subjects greatly outnumbers the times he refers to any sort of drink. read the lyrics.

  • thats what im saying the song is indeed about coal mining.

  • Comment removed

  • Your choice to live a substandard lifestyle is one you chose. I will comment no further on that.

  • @marcusvwvuspa Hello there Marcus!!! We meet again! 15 years for a doctorate? LOL I geuss you needed a few remedial courses. Pat yourself on the back for taking 15 years of classes to make a coal miners wages!!
