Personally i think all yall city slickers should stick to ur city shit and let us country folk stick to our country shit. 90% of the south is racist. I kno cause im from the south. and we dont fuck around. i by god aint afraid to tell how i feel if u dont like it go suck a barrel of a 12 gauge.
I live in Ohio, but both sides of my family are from Kentucky. These are my people. I thank them for what they went through for me to make a better life...
lived in pike co area for several years now in florida and look back on that time i miss thoses eastern ky hills and valleys!! this song brings chills to me everytime i hear it but its a awesome song
i love this video. i love music like this, but i admire music like this, and it only adds to its awsomeness when you listen to the lyrics and there is a story behind it. and the damn pics! they go right along with the music, and the fact that they are actualy relavent, actual pics from the time, actual political cartoons that tell the truth only adds to the badassness.
Joined the military in 1987. Didn't set foot back in Kentucky till 2000.
Heard the call... Kentucky is the best place on earth as far as I'm concerned. It gets in your blood. Life might be tough, but it's god-fearing honest work. The people who live here are the most solid I have ever encountered...
I'm gonna work this farm till I die, and then I want to be buried here on my land.. Looking at the mountains for the rest of time..
@sPzB41 you must have one severe malfunction and it sure aint my fault. I read the comments on your page.You talked down to other soldiers and veterans because they are not our race? how can you be a veteran of your age and be so far out of adjustment?
As in- it ain't nun-ya fucking business why I don't share your high opinion of niggers.
If you got a few hours, I'll be glad to PM you all the reasons why I hate niggers. Just so y'all know: I didn't grow up a racist. I was neutral. It was NIGGERS that made me this way...
I'm a racist sonofabitch and I make no apologies for it.
i was born in Harlan, KY and all my family have been coal miners. My dad took me 3 miles underground when i was 6 years old. I have the upmost respect for all coal miners and the risks they take on a daily basis! this is a great song!!
Omg...I absolutely have fallen in love with "Justified" and this song. Not to mention Timothy Olyphant is so yummy and absolutely makes the character. Can't wait for season 3. I am so hooked and have really came to realize how life was for people in Kentucky.
Thanks to all the coal miners who risk their lives everyday for us.
All my kin were coal miners... back in the day when anthracite was king in Pennsylvania. Mines went bust after the broke through the river bed and flooded out the shafts... what was left caught fire and keeps burnin.
Born and raised Michigan girl, honestly I'd rather live anywhere but here, somewhere with beautiful scenery EVERYWHERE. Heard this song on Justified, which adds a whole new depth to KY for me, I guess I let stereo types get the best of me! Sorry people those stereo types affect, they aren't right about everyone!!!
I was born and raised and still live in the great state of Okla and I want to tell the people of miners families a big Thanks and I have the greatest respect for you and your heritage. What an awesome legacy they have handed down. The faces of the the people are priceless, The sacrifice they made just to put food on the table. You are a crown jewel in the history of this great country. Thanks to those that had the grit to go into those mines for such little money. We owe you a debt beyond words.
Born and raised in Knott Co, just a few miles from Harlan.I worked the coal mines of the region, and I am very proud to say I am an east Ky Mountain Boy. I am related to Ralph and Carter Stanley, and I carry on our bluegrass traditions with Honor. D.Stanley
I was watching the show "justified" and I said to my dad, who was born in kentucky. "Do you know about harlan?" he goes "we all know bloody Harlan" he said "they will kill you there"
Grew up in SE KY (Woodbine, outside of Corbin) and now live in Seattle, WA. Since I joined the military at 19 years old in 1996 I've lived just about everywhere. But there is no place I'd rather be from than the hills of KY. To some, the people in Appalachia may seem backward, but people put that label on a lot of things they can't relate to. Until you've walked in someone else's shoes, don't make assumptions about where they're from or where they are going.
Good post. I was born and raised in paintsville which is not too far from harlan, We have the van lear coal mines there. The same ones that loretta lynn's daddy worked. I left in 2002 to take a job here in TN and i have to say KY will always be my home, great people, great traditions, and the best scenery on god's green earth.
My grandfather was a union organizer for the coal miners and was murdered before my dad was born. He was from Harlan County and coming from a line of coal miners I have nothing but respect!
Fuck you bunch of City MF's you wouldn't make it in these mountains, I don't live in Harlan county but I live on the border of Harlan county in VA. You Yankee fucks can go to Hell.
Great song. And lol at all the trolled red necks on here. I'm gonna go drive my Hummer around the countryside and smoke Marlboro Menthol 100's. Yuppie for life, red neck fucks.
I'm not from Kentucky. Pennsylvania born and raised, but song hits to home when ya think of the small towns we were raised in. But it defines who we are and I can say I know where I come from. How bout you?
I love this song so much and it makes me really jealous seeing people commenting saying they've lived in Kentucky or other places all their lives. I'm English but I'd kill to be American.
My papaw was a coalminer until he wasn't able to and he passed on from Black Lung, every since then I missed he so much, I got Cousins and Uncles in the Mine, and Im Proud to say Im a son of a Coalminer from outta Hyden, Kentucky. Hell I might carry on the Tradition! Can I get a "HELL YEAH" for The Kentucky Miners, and for any of you out there in the mines trying to support your families and make ends meet, all I got to say to you is, Thank you so much for keepin the Lights on.
& for all you people hating on "rednecks", its a life style you will never understand. to us, your just a bunch of city pussies who listen to rap and think its cool to hold a pistol sideways.
My mom's stepmom which I guess you could call her my step mamaw is Debbie Caldwell which is the Newspaper editor in Harlan County and she sent all the actual pictures to the show Justified but I honestly don't like the show cause It's really nothing like Harlan County is.. And it's so off brand its crazy. I mean the most they could do is actually film it in the state of Kentucky.
My mom is from Harlan Co., her family moved to Detroit to work in the auto plants in the 50s.As a child we would visit Harlan once a year. Beautiful memories.Over the years i've heard stories of family working in the coal mines.Brutal work, worse than the car factories. I had no idea Brad Paisley had a song about Harlan, an excellent song too.
I just hope that neither of them are rolling in their graves when I say that I would never be tough enough to grow up, work and suffer like they did. No matter my farmboy upbringing, to be faced with such crushing poverty and adversity and danger and pain and torment and still be able to get up every morning is a "real life Shawshank Redemption" from any sins any of them had ever committed. I love you, great grandpa and great great grandpa.
My great grandfather and his father were 2nd and 3d generation Anglo-Americans and the son and grandson of a Civil War veteran. Great grandpa saw it fit himself to go off to a far off country called France to fight in World War One. They were also coal miners in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. I'll never know what they went through in "the land that God forgot". I quite frankly would never want to know. Any man who will go below ground, whether he has too or not, is a brave soul.
This song speaks to all of us from mining towns. It's haunting, dark and yet inspirational. From us up here, in the Nickle Mining Capitol of the WORLD, we heard every word and we understand.
i live in harlan and i love this song and its soo true i moved to Arizona for like 1 yr and i missed harlan soooooo bad and i was soo happy to come back
by god whats ur fuckin problem with rednecks i'll stomp ur mother fuckin fat ass all up and down eastern kentucky and if ur goin to comment shit like that u need to go fuck ur goddam self u stupid faggot. go stick ur dick in a woodchipper. btw UMAD BRO cause a redneck just showed u up u little bitch...
@MrBaddawg63 Fuck you u god damn pice of shit come visit me and my boys and well fuckin put enough lead in your pussy ass that you'll be shitin slugs untill you die!!!!!!!!
Ive grown up in eastern kentucky all my life and ive grown up in a coal mining family im proud of this video and everyone who goes underground everyday to make a living knowing they may not come out alive. but around here were a rare breed its take brave people to do this everyday and im proud to say im from eastern kentucky.
LMAO shut ur hills have eyes creature looking ass up. with ur eyes 7 inches apart and shit lol. stop fucking ur sisters and maybe u guys would stop giving birth to mutants. ill beat the inbred right out of u pussy.
@GreenIce221 ok so u want to fight.. where u from and where will u meet me im a 14 year old redneck from West Virginia , i live in oceana, Wv and to be exact i liive in lynco, Wv my Zip in 24857 and number is (786) 345-8560 txt me if u want to be such a bad ass and well settle the problem when ever u feel like u got the guts
@GreenIce221 i dont kno who u r but ur hillbilly redneck jokes r not to fuckin funny. im a redneck bitch and my whole family is redneck hillbillies. they dont give a shit bout the north and a bunch of yankee fucks dont need to run there mouth.
@GBeret83 thats so true and it is haunting im papaw worked in the mines and saver 5 people Drudge them out of the minse and saved them all my family work in the coal mines and im proud to live in kentuck theres no othere place like this
@dakota7325, I've been back in southeastern Ky. for a long time now. But during the years that I was in the military, I used to joke around and tell my Army buddies: When you go to bed at night, be sure to say all of your prayers. That way, when you die, you'll go to Kentucky!! LOL.
wow, it is just amazing. Even I am a stranger living far far away, (istanbul) after all the tv shows I watched, I just started watch justified, for fun, for spending my free time.
I can barely say, that show is much more than hollywood bull shit. great story, great plot and marvellous acting. I think I kind a felt being from a southern county and the way of livin' people over there.
love this song even though i'm not anywhere near Harlan. Think everyone who comes from a family of hard working Americans can relate doesn't matter what part of the country.
For all those who never left Harlan alive, Give them a thumbs up for there sacrific. It's not right a TV show has stole the true meening of the song from them.

My mother walked out of Harlan Cty when she was 17, in 1944, and never went back. Told my Dad she'd go with him anywhere, but back to the mountains. Told me if I ever moved to the mountains she'd just knock me in the head to end my misery quickly. Harlan is beautiful; the mountains call to me, but I'll never live there.

This song reminds me of my family. My mom's side of the family is from and most currently live in Harlan County, Kentucky. My grandfather was a coal miner.
@MrBlacken1966 I love harlan county I`ve lived here all my life my papaw and my brother is coalminers and on my funiral day im gonna have my family play this song I am an halran kentuckian and if anyone doesn`t like it they can go back to where they came from
@yoridevynbestiez About this song. I used to work at Churchill Downs training horses and I know that's a long way from Harlan County but even there it seemed like forever waiting to go out on the track because it 's so dark so long. That was always a mystery, but I liked your state a lot

i love this song... my great uncles were outlaws in Harlin and redbird in Kentucky outlaws were people police would never go around in these parts what you see on justified aint even close to the reason this song was made those mountains were cut off to all law enforcement anyone who stepped foot on the mountain with a badge would be shot down in a blink of a eye.

@sirblackius, it's an amazing TV show on FX that takes place in Kentucky. The main character is from Harlan and this song has been played at the end of both seasons. It is extremely fitting for the show.

@kilroyishere1 I hardly can imagine that Paisley just plain out sucks. That's a mighty bold statement isn't it? I'm sure there is a great reason as to why he is a successful musical artist, and you are on that can't quite tell what musical talent is.

@pokemonloverme You know.. I know New York City has some history but I live in Harlan Kentucky, but I could never see myself living in New York City. But you should visit some time you're always welcome. Visit some of the coal museums, the coal miner monument at the courthouse, the sand caves, knobby rock, kingdom come state park, and so much more! On Thursdays come out to the courthouse and you can hear me and more groups playing traditional bluegrass songs. This song is even played sometimes.
Harlan is the only place i have ever worked where the sun truly doesn't come up until 10 am and falls out of sight by 3. it's just a song, but it sings about something that runs much deeper than the coal we go after, it's about our way of life. Our heritage. Who we are.
im from knott county ky, i lov this song everyman in my family has always mined coal and i plan to continue the tradition...god bless the american miner's withought us you wouldnt have electricity. so ty for uploading this. still gives me chills when i here it.
@IShallBeReleased67 My folks came from Johnson County, but even if it ain't Harlan this song still speaks to my family's journey. Papa and his brothers worked the mines, and when he passed one of the things he left me was a pick he used.
Personally i think all yall city slickers should stick to ur city shit and let us country folk stick to our country shit. 90% of the south is racist. I kno cause im from the south. and we dont fuck around. i by god aint afraid to tell how i feel if u dont like it go suck a barrel of a 12 gauge.

@dakota7325, I've been back in southeastern Ky. for a long time now. But during the years that I was in the military, I used to joke around and tell my Army buddies: When you go to bed at night, be sure to say all of your prayers. That way, when you die, you'll go to Kentucky!! LOL.

wow, it is just amazing. Even I am a stranger living far far away, (istanbul) after all the tv shows I watched, I just started watch justified, for fun, for spending my free time.
I can barely say, that show is much more than hollywood bull shit. great story, great plot and marvellous acting. I think I kind a felt being from a southern county and the way of livin' people over there.
Salute to Harlan county.

My mother walked out of Harlan Cty when she was 17, in 1944, and never went back. Told my Dad she'd go with him anywhere, but back to the mountains. Told me if I ever moved to the mountains she'd just knock me in the head to end my misery quickly. Harlan is beautiful; the mountains call to me, but I'll never live there.

@yoridevynbestiez About this song. I used to work at Churchill Downs training horses and I know that's a long way from Harlan County but even there it seemed like forever waiting to go out on the track because it 's so dark so long. That was always a mystery, but I liked your state a lot

@pokemonloverme You know.. I know New York City has some history but I live in Harlan Kentucky, but I could never see myself living in New York City. But you should visit some time you're always welcome. Visit some of the coal museums, the coal miner monument at the courthouse, the sand caves, knobby rock, kingdom come state park, and so much more! On Thursdays come out to the courthouse and you can hear me and more groups playing traditional bluegrass songs. This song is even played sometimes.
CoalKeepsTheLighsOn 5 months ago 2
Harlan is the only place i have ever worked where the sun truly doesn't come up until 10 am and falls out of sight by 3. it's just a song, but it sings about something that runs much deeper than the coal we go after, it's about our way of life. Our heritage. Who we are.
