  • I'm a lifetime rock n roller but this song kicks ass. I love it.

  • Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! for sharing this with us!

  • My favorite by Tom T. Hall

  • I have great respect for this man, and this song.

  • exquisite key changes

  • The musical arrangment is exceptionally clever.The words are class also.

  • learn from it as a kid and reflect as an adult, yet still appropriate for both

  • country music is all about life.... we call all relate to it.

  • To me this is all the song nead to be!!! To touch your hart and this one shourely thas

  • this is indeed a great song...used to sing it at 7 yrs. wonderful and innocent

  • I found out on a few occasions that, "Friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down." Sad, but true. And yes, "God bless little children while they're still too young to hate."

  • A great story teller, voice smooth as Tennessee sipping whisky.

  • such a wonderful song, I was lucky enough to catch Tom in concert at the Valley Forge Music Fair in the 70's and now I have an old dog who is ailing it still brings tears to my eyes.

  • Probably the BEST song he ever wrote. There were a lot of them but this ismy favorite.

  • great song and singer . Perfect match

  • This song will always remind me of my dad, every time I play it I am catapulted back to him. Hope he is allowed play his guitar where he is now :) RIP Dad.

  • Should they make a film based on the theme of this song, I would cast Morgan Freeman in the role of the guy cleaning up the bar.

  • i may love heavy metal forever but

    TOM T HALL GOD BLESS U FOREVER .....

    this is the soundtrack to my childhood ..old school country forever

    a timeless classic

  • one of the best and DAMN, this song says a LOT

  • I grew up with this song. I hadn't heard it in about 30 years and man this song packs alot of truth. They don't make songs like this anymore. That is too bad. That is what is wrong with us, as we can't stop and take the time and make a product that is well thought out and simple. This song is simple and to the point, but with all the political correctness we can't seem to stick with the truth, but this song reminds us of the importance of the truth. Tom T certainly gave us a gift.

  • @TheOldcraftsman God bless you

  • @TheOldcraftsman I hear you, been thinking similarly for a few years now, and understand much clearly now that Labor is Honorable. And that when we working stiffs can't see the products of our labor directly, something changes in the daily life. Also, some of us haven't appreciated the profound influence of what Craftsmanship is to the quality of the things around us. Whether good furniture, safe machinery/technology, or songwriting. I see I'm not alone. Have always loved this song! cheers!

  • @TheOldcraftsman

    grew up with this song thanks to my father and foir that i am truly blessed . in this day and age of force-fed radio bullshit i come back to real song's such as these and hope to pass this song to my daugther so she might understand one day what a real song is

    ty tom , god bless u from a full blown metal-head

  • @TheOldcraftsman

    grew up with this song like u thnx to my father and for that i am truely grateful . just hope that i can pass on my love of " REAL " music to my daugther instead of the force-fed bullshit on the radio nowdays . sadly7 , they just don't make song's like this nemore and that is sad

    god bless u tom , and thank-you for all the happy times u have given me

  • Ths song speaks the truth about lfe

  • Get Sirius radio and listen to the Roadhouse. You hear the great country classics 24 hours a day.

  • I listen to a good country station down here in Florida called 93.7Kcountry. It is a great station that plays all kinds of new country music that I enjoy listening to. On Saturday nights they do this thing called Saturday Night Gold Rush, where they play the older country music. I sit down every Saturday with a notepad and write down the songs they play. This is one I heard last week and man you can't beat the good stuff.

  • Tom T. Hall was the real deal. No phony nonsense. This is real country music. And I grew up in the home of country music (Bristol, TN) so I grew up with it.

  • Classic, Best song ever. Truest words ever spoken!

  • Timeless classic. Never tire of hearing this one.

  • Pure country!

  • Great song great singer, thanks for sharing.

  • best song tom t. ever did..............

  • I grew up listenin to this one and now a song comes out just like it; check out Billy Currington's People are Crazy. Same story but really good!!!

  • Yep. This is the recording I had on 8-track over 30yrs ago. Loved it then and still love it now.

  • Well done, thank you.

  • this is a great song---love it!
