  • This is a good song.

  • this song is supost to be about harlen county ky

  • Amazing/ TruthMusic/ Steve Earle is a naturally gifted writer/ The artist that doesn't flaunt the title and ego is one who needn't be told what they create is for others to absorb and experience/ fufilment and success are opposites that collide and distort the logical perception once titles and ego become priority and routine.

  • Surely I couldve got another insult in there...you're a tool.

  • dotatough is clearly a teenage fuckwit. Enjoy the oxy while it lasts cunt I bet you'll be in jail or dead in the next decade. We all enjoy it at the beginning you little brat see how you feel in five years. Punk.

  • OOh good song and OOh i dont miss the last 7 years of whiny opiate addicts i was one and i hate them opiates and love them they will kill you i seen 3 ppl die and known a few more the shits a killer and its amazing but i enjoy getting real fuckin stoned and drunk feels better than any pill dont care who u are and yes the government wants us whacked out on meds so we dont see what the fuck is goin on open your eyes america and stock up on guns and ammo be ready to head to the pharmacies haha

  • interesting comments, got some real strong opinions up in here

  • It's pathetic how all of you 'addicts' are so desperate for sympathy, pity, help, and acceptance. Its equally pathetic how you 'activists' rally against the addicts. Fuck both sides of the fence. Here's a tip: grow some balls and quit. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Heres another tip: stay the fuck out of other peoples business, if they want to fly on ox, who are you to tell them to stop? Either way, both groups can suck my dick. Time to start being grown ups, you pieces of shit.

  • @dotatough Why are you so full of hate? Slow down, dude.

  • i love oxy. haters gonna hate.

  • @dotatough Hey, I grew up in Hazard,KY. I was in Hazard during the rise and climax of the OC epidemic. I have seen so many of my friends die or lead lives of dereliction. I lead a life of derelicition and almost died. OC KILLS! so does methadone and suboxone. Shake the dust from your heels or become one. Life is better without a needle!

  • There are only two types of pain killer users. First, there are those who suffer real pain from injuries, wounds, and surgeries. Second, there are the people, who use them for recreation or to get high. Typically, the first group has little long-term problems with the drugs. This can not be said for the second group.

  • an addict for 40yrs. (nothing 2 be proud of), they just don't make the phamas like yrs.ago it's all just ace hard wr or toxic bull.

  • I am x coalminer i worked 9 years as roofbolter. meds became apart of life. it sad to say but unless you either die or get help. that we walk around here with oxy blues. it the truth i gave everthing to underground coal. all i have show for it is broken back a broken home and oxycottin blues. so please listen from someone who know. pain meds are here so to help people. but it short term fix. so if you don't need meds don't start it devil never loose

  • Until the people realize the government wants you strung out, nothing will change.....

    It's called personal responsibility.... ever heard of it?

    

  • DAMN, great Song! After My Car Accident--Not My Fault--Clean Driving Record--Never a Ticket in my life, but lost the new job I started due to too many sick days--they Fired Me!!!! Anywho-- I was poppong 90mg of Oxycontin Immediate Releif Tablets and 90mg of Morphine Contin, and 20mg of Vallium for Muscle Spasims a Day for Upper Back and neck PAIN, and rarely got high,,,,maybee a sligth buzz! I was on this shit for 4 months and still functioned, going to job interviews,,but withdrawl was hard!

  • Dedicated to Rush?

  • Comment removed

  • @roofermarc1 Try 15 years for injuries then the FDA comes in to fix the epidemic...

  • I know a lot of folks in the valley that use, not only oxy but just about every type of pain killers out there. I should say mis-use.

  • 200$ a day habit just to feel normal...65 surgical rods in my back, 3 weeks to kick.my back feels better than ever but man i live in florida the up until 2010 wild wild west of legal dope dealers (DRs) i feel u man..its a struggle...got script in hand n pharm tells u they r out........glad those days r gone. but imma bootleg and take a sample from ur song for an underground house song n send it to u...just to play out,,, no money or nuthin...

  • Hard to quit oxycontin when you start from a real problem, 4Wheeling accident and 5 years of everyday use makes it difficult to quit when the realpain hits.

  • I fucked up my back and can relate--I tried EVERYTHING but the only thing that would take the pain away was the 'contin. I still jones for that shit on occasion.

  • I like him to bits ,but the song wasn`t one of his best. The melody was dull.

  • @ilikezappa

    I love also him, and like the song. Yet I will agree that the weakest aspect of his writing in general is melody. Not that it keeps me from being an obsessed fan. The lyrics, arrangements and expressive voice make up for it.

  • Steve Earle is just an amazing songwriter.

  • i got the got no oxycontin blues

  • @MDS13MDS haha so true, OP's put an end to all the fun.

  • @MDS13MDS I'm sorry for you - that is the real pain

  • One of the great writer's of our time!

  • damn.

  • been a steve earle fan for years got to see and meet him finally on july 16th, great post

  • i dont like heroin as much u dont get the stimulant effect

  • real addicts switch to herion cos its cheaper.

  • I love the truth and pain in his voice. Singers nowadays dont have anything, no emotion, pain, growth. Just transcript readers like Obama.

  • @wheelmanstan

    Singers today?? This is only a few years old and Steve is still out there making music.

    And I think Obama thinks for himself a lot more than Bush ever did.

  • @nilradem Come on, you know what I mean. Singers on the mainstram radio today.

  • Comment removed

  • @dawnjakeleah @dawnjakeleah Yes Bush was an IDIOT!!! But Obama is NOT any better he PROMISED to LABEL GMO food when he was running for president & then 2011 he appointed former attorney for MONSANTO head of the FDA is refusing to label GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD WHICH IS KILLING PEOPLE & another criminal to the USDA.Here is a link to what this food is doing to us.

  • @mojoworken61 It wont let me post the link.Go to Youtube and check out what Jeffery Smith says about GMO.

  • @mojoworken61 yes, more and more I see that no one in our government really care about the poor who are just struggling to have a place to live.

  • @nk662 can you get me some. whereabout in canada are you? id pay you in american money, my back is broke,i tjhink you canadians ge them for free with your healthvcare system

  • Great Song!! Love the Bluegrass sound...

  • @jdizzle5234YOU ARE 2 FUCKING IGNORANT 2 EVEN ARGUE WITH!

  • @cheebaskam631 It's all fun until someone gets hurt. i can promise you, that unless you own some money trees that you'll be sucking dicks 4 them soon enough. i give you about another 3 months, if ur not already doing it??? My prayers are with all of you fools on here that have no idea what ur in store for. Peace...

  • @luckyshame420 What the hell do you know about it? Do you really think people just wake up one morning and say "hell I think I want to be an opiod addict". It takes a lot of hard living, and a lot pain to resort to taking those evil little bastards. I was addicted to them for more then 5 years and never sucked any dick. However I did lose everything I owned and worked for all my life. It was not FUN.....

  • @luckyshame420 whats so wrong with sucking a little dick here and there.

  • Great song. Thanx 4 sharing. The gov't knew what they were doing when they made this fucking monster. Google it. It is the same as heroin. So when the people who it doesn't kill can't afford it no longer, they go 2 heroin. Which is way more unpredictable. But don't be assholes with no empathy til you have been there. ADDICTION IS A DISEASE NOT A CHOICE. @67diehardpatriot54. Right on!

  • oxycontin you open the door you'll never close it. It will be your eternal fire. Your life will become all about getting pills. If you want to acomplish anything in your life dont start with opiates unless what you want to acomplish is getting high.

  • @67DieHardPatriot454 that is not always true. i have taken opiates and believe it or not i can hold a steady job pay my rent and my bills and take care of my wife. Just because you use drugs sometimes don't mean you no matter what you are going to become an addict. 

  • if I had to pick between a pack of smokes per day + a 6 pack beer (or 7 shots = 206.99 of RUM) . .. .. OR 3 x 80mg oxys I take the opiates all the way. And I did. Eating right, plenty of water, cranberry, apples, etc .... the whole nine Yrds. . . . . everything in moderation. PLus, anyone out there who can compare these 2 scenarios and prefers booze n smokes .. goof for you. And I used to swear by the bottle - 26 oz of rum or moonshine .... ... not any more.

  • This song is freakin' awesome, and an excellent story of people dealing with hillbilly heroin. Steve rules.

  • anybody whos thinkin about doing some oxys dont my dad takes them damn things and after he eats about ten of the damn things he dont even know where the fuck hes at its bad shit everybody round here in southern VA does that shit

  • theres no blues from oxycottin its fun as hell, i sniff and free base 80's all day its heroin that fuckin ruins ur life yea oc leads u on to it but it dont ruin shit cuzzzzzzzzo

  • @CheebaSkam631 You are so fucking ignorant I feel you hardly deserve the air you breathe. There is nothing fun about living your life for a pill. Maybe you havent got to where you wake up in the morning to an 80 just to get out of bed. I too am from southern va..tazewell to be exact and there is nothing fun about it. coredipper didnt lie. everyone around here does it. its sad..i too am a recovering addict. got to the point of doing 7 80s for a 600 a dollar day habit. tell me thats fun.

  • @bloodsuckingskater1 you need a better hookup... get ripped off some more damn

  • @bloodsuckingskater1 tru that i'm from bluefield va....i've been an opiate addict for over 10 yrs and it's hell!!! goin 2 the clinic in beckley right now but its almost as bad as bein on the other shit. i'm bout 2 switch 2 clinch valley so i'll be comin over ur way soon lol

  • @ oxykingdom... you're an idiot... it's proven fact that prescription drugs are far worse than alcohol... they tear your stomach walls up and hurt your liver worse than alcohol abuse... I know people who've been smokers for 50 yrs. and are still kicking it... opiates, cocaine are the two most addicting drugs per a UCLA study in 2005

  • ive' written a better song about this ,,, i like steve earl and i respect him ,but i am from where oxycontin is the biggest problem and im a songwriter ,,, i been strung on this little demon steve was on smack he dont really understand this pill like us hillbilles do ..but i do respect him from one writer to another

  • there is absolutley nothing wrong with oxycontin. its wrong for people its not prescribed to, to use it to get high...ruining it for the people that actually need it. dumbfuck addicts

  • you fuckin suck.

  • whatever you say troll, he's one of the greatest song writers in our present day, he isn't a wana be anybody

  • This song gets me emontional makes me think about all the pain I went threw with this drug and all pain killers. Im still fighting it. I hope one day ill be clean because I can't do this shit no more. If you haven't tryed this drug or any other pain killers don't because if you get hooked you will ruin your life.

  • Now Im headed nowhere but downhill

    With the oxycontin blues ....

  • oxykingdom dude stop seriously. stop it man.

  • @oxykingdom

    scumbag

  • Alright "oxykingdom" normally I'd delete and idiot like you but I guess I'll leave one (you) as an example. I hate druggies and/or morons like you that sells drugs, actually I truly hate drug dealers so do every smart person, who doesn't do drugs, in the world a favor and shut up

  • u like alcohol and cigarettes? they are the worst druggs. and they are legal. drugs are politics and power. now go play your guitar and shut up you dont know shit

  • I've never tried either so I wouldn't know but I can tell you 1 thing. The entire world, other than maybe the idiots that buy stuff off you, would love for you to shut up and stop being a moron

  • @guitar1994player Hey you listen you MOFOs God gave us this beautiful gift call WEED so stop bitchin bought the boos and the stogies and roll another blunt and chill BITHEZZZ by the way oxycotin is still a pretty sweet drug but peace dude and chill

  • @jckrbnsn Stick with weed and natural stuff and stay away from Oxy dude. It's synthetic, highly addictive, and way bad for you.

    I look at it this way, if you've ever known of someone being so hard up for a fix of something, they'd suck dick to get it, you should stay away from it and not put it in your body. And I've known people to turn tricks for Oxy, just like smack.

  • while i agree they should both be illegal, thats just not justification for your abuse of a legal drug.

    the problem is, we blame the substances instead of the people who ABUSE them.

  • you havent got a clue son

  • @TheMistermuppet I agree with you wen it comes to oxys becoming a crutch in life. I suppose every rose has its thorns..

  • dont get me wrong. i loved taking them for the first couple years. i dont even know what happened,i went from taking them once or twice or not at all, to making sure i had them just as soon as i woke up in the morning. and still had some for the rest of the day and night. at my worst i was taking 700mg a day. it is a great drug but its just too good. i just wish i could have used it responsibly,and just took it here and there like i did in the beginning.

  • @oxykingdom shut the fuck up you weak ass wanna be drug dealer...... ur such a scared little bitch you only deal with people online...... go fucking nood out...... i hope you hit your head and die...haha weak ass online drug dealer hahahaha

  • @oxykingdom

    Don't be a fucking moron.

    Oxy are legal too as long as you have a prescription. But they are way over prescribed. They are meant for terminal cancer patients. They give them out for stubbed toes. Oxy are essentially synthetic heroin, and among the most addictive and deadly drugs available. I've seen it ruin too many lives growing up in eastern Kentucky.

  • @oxykingdom sweeeeeet str8 from the perdue factory huh???? lets do business homie!!!!!!!!

  • im interested. lets do business

  • @oxykingdom wow you are stupid ....but kinda funny

  • @oxykingdom Seriously yo! What state you live in? You not gonna rip me off right?

  • Comment removed

  • @oxykingdom u piece of shit, mr kingdomdumb. that shit nearly killed me after i got badly hooked on it after a car accident. got up to taking 800mg a day. the withdrawals will drive you totally fn insane people. i finally got detoxed off the stuff under anasthetic in hospita for 20 days. if not i'd say i'd be dead by now as i was using it for 8 years. truly withdrawals are worse than heroin. i know they are awful but at least they don't last an eternity like oxy because it's long half life.

  • @oxykingdom oh yeah, and don't ship a-hole, just post your address and i'll come visit you for sure..... dick head

  • I can definitely relate... Oxycontin WILL take your soul.

  • as it did mine.

  • @twillis721 amen brother ,,,i crawled my way back from hell on earth

  • @twillis721 hell yeah, exactly what i said to an accupunturist after i was withdrawn from this shit in hospital: i said i feel like it's taken my soul.

  • from what i heard quiting oxy would blow

  • you aint kidding it's hell

  • i bet dude

  • Jamie Johnson. "Cost of Livin High". Check it out.

  • That song is a great story by yet another great song-writer

  • @guitar1994player if you like these guys maybe you could check out my stuff ...i think you would like it

  • @Kevindad123 It's "High Cost of Living" brohammer

  • @MrSmashinBOX Thanks for the correction. I doubt anybody knew what I was talking about.....Brohammer.

  • @Kevindad123

    And it is Jamey not Jamie - I knew! (Great song.)

  • @Kevindad123 Hell ya i love jamie seen him in concert twice but hes right The high cost of livin AINT NOTHIN LIKE THE COST OF LIVIN HIGH and thats the damn truth.

  • @Kevindad123 High Cost Of livin...

  • oxycontin is the devil it makes u do things of grate regret i wish i never descoverd it it took me over and wish it never did im taking my first step to recovery and hope this is is discontinued so no1 else has to go threw this bull shit

  • good luck..i hope you can recover...

  • I love the tune, but kinda have mixed feelings about it as well. Lost a good friend last year to it and could have saved him if I'd known he od'd, or could i have? He was my neighbor and had just seen him a few hrs before I heard they found him out. This is such a true, great song. Just makes me think of Mike from time to time. Sad thing is, he had never taken it before.

  • sorry for your lose

  • sorry about your loss, too, my friend, i'm an addict with 22 months clean, vicodin was the devil's drug for me, but they tried to get me on oxy, too, for my chronic pain...that's when i knew, at age 50 and 15 yrs of using, enough was enough....God bless you and i will light a candle for your friend.....Steve Earle has saved a lot of us with his music....me included...

  • this is an amazing song, i fully understand, being a recovering addict myself.......... Awsome lyrics!

  • having been through this addiction i can fully understand what he is talking about drugs cost me 14 years of prison ,big bad shit

  • Thanks for sharing hardtime764... I hope things are looking up for you, and you're okay... whatever that means to you.

  • how is the song bad, it's great you're the only one that's commented badly which means you can't see good music or your just plain dumb

  • jeez guy, just 'cos ya don't understand it, no need to badmouth it. this guy's one of the most talented an interesting artists out there, with a real story to tell, not just some manufactured image, so show a little respect.

  • @chucufarley you are a douche bag, slimy little bitch, take the cock outta yer mouth b-4 you show how stupid you are next time, pissant fuckbag, would love 2 meet u, dickless cretin...shut the fuck up u pimple faced 15 year old

  • @chucufarley fuck you you motherfuckeng peace of shit

  • I like this song

  • whats a poor boy to do i love it

  • poor boy my ass. you gots the innernet and a puter!! that means free porno.

  • @TheMistermuppet oxycontin feels 5 times btr then an orgasm that lasts 3 hours +

  • beg to differ there a bit. really good sex and having

    an orgasm at the end,well nothing can top that. hillbilly heroin is going to be a dead end for you. once you become tolerant,all you do is chase the dragon and then all youll have is a monkey on your back. i liked oxy for a few years,then it just became a bullshit existence for my life.

  • morphine my friend , morphine .

    morphious = goddess of dreams ..........

  • tell it brother

  • Steve Earle is a very interesting and talented man. Being a former Heroin addict (by his own admission) Steve knows of what he speaks...

    Thanks for posting this cool vid/song.

  • great song, 1st time i heard it was in south carolina
