Come on please have a little respect, this is a wonderful song, written by a legend. This is from an era when country had the most heart. This song, along with Mr. Weatherman are timeless relics of country music past. It's okay not to like country music, but why disrespect those of us who live these songs. The reason country music will never go away is because it makes a lot of people feel good about themselves, or cope with an issue in their lives.
@bioniz i dont remember going to SOMEONES ELSES video and talkin god damn shit about wat they like.i listen to the god damn blues an d been playin it n a band for 4 fuckin years wat have YOU done.....im havin a nice life cuz i listen to more than 1 fuckin thing im not stuck in my own god damned pissed off world where only bues exists so take ur shit somewhere else and god so fuckin help you if u take it to a bb king srv or ray charles video cuz i w ill cut u :)
@bioniz go somewhere else and talk shit were listenen to real music that comes from the heart...............fuckin idiots think justin beibers all that
@bioniz "dude" i listen to blues but guess what was mixed with african music to make the blues? .....oh thats right COUNTRY........and this song isnt about the blues it about hank williams and if u want blues go listen to my name is bocephus .....no one apreicates good music anymore ....thanks for proving my point
@missingmandayton DUUUDE, so bcuz i listen to the blues, i must like Country, RnB, hiphop, rock, metal, jazz and every other style there is? You're so stupid for making that comment. My style of blues sounds nothing like your countryshit. Have a nice life.
alan is one of those god given talent guys. he is great live and studio and hasnt transitioned to the new mainstream pop country. what he was is 89' is what he is now.
thank god for country music and most especially alan jackson.
I think you can see how much the two of them men have for each other. Alan sings this at Hank Jr's. CMT's Giants of COuntry Music. You can see the excitement not only in Hanks face, but in his kids as well. Two of the greats!!!
and i get like lightning fast. and i say phuck you aint gonna believe what just happened two me. holy hell we got to pray. and then i chuckle and think no i wont say that ill say. this beer is good as hell
In all honesty, I think now that Bocephus, the Possum, and the Little Man have all done solo versions of this great song, maybe they should team up and do a version together. Wouldn't that be cool?
I take each version of a song and let it stand on it's own. Both Allen's version and Hank Jr's version are great. Hank really knows how to put emotion into his singing as well as the songs he writes.
if hank would sing instead of just talking half the time his voice is the best but for some reason he feels he has to change the lyrics all the time just sing them hank your the best
Ain't it Great to have Variety in Life and Freedom to choose and How could you go wrong with Either of these Awesome Performers??? I Love and Am Thankful for Both of Them......Lots of my life have been enjoyed listening to BOTH of THEM!!!!
This is one of my very favorites that Alan does. I don't care for Hank, Jr., but some of this applies to Alan as well. If you haven't gotten a chance, see Alan in concert doing this one. He has smoke coming off the stage and it's just awesome. One guy behind me commented that this is "the longest song I've ever heard". :) I could sit through Alan doing this song all day.
This is Hank Williams, Jr. partial autobiography in a song... and what a masterful song it is... a ballad, a love song, an ode to his woman, all rolled up into one great song!! This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Thanks, Hank!
@KatelynVictoria2011 This is why Alan Jackson is considered such a GENTLEMAN and a SCOLLAR - A real "Credit" to The Greats of Country MUSIC... Hank Jr you
alan jackson is the greatest male country vocalist that ever walked the face of the planet.. probably the best version of this song ever, when you add old hank to the picture!! loved this performance..
I disagree, I think the man who wrote it (Hank Williams, Jr) does it best because hes singing about his own life and whenever Alan Jackson covers it hes singing about Hank Jrs life too, it's weird lol but it's still a great cover by Jackson.
i love you missy and trying to do my best, lost my job and lost my life and lost my life trying to do my best well . well i'm not a redneck, native american native ,native don't say land is your ?
u must be crazy. I love George. But Bocephus wrote the song and out sings the possum. In my book of the greatest ever in country music, its Hank Jr, Waylon, and then George Jones
Cool !!!!! i know Hank Jr did good with this! song but i think Jones did a really good job on this as well :) cuz Jones did it all a long with Hank SR did back in the day so i think they all had there own days in life in the blues man life :D
I think the reason you think this is about george jones is because it says being sued for no shows that was george jones's nickname "NOSHOW JONES' but he's still one of the best....
