I sometimes joke that Luke the Drifter is responsible for 50% of my moral upbringing and character development because I listened to (and sang along with) this album so often before I even started school. Not such a bad thing, really. LOL
Hank Williams,,,,,,,,,i was hearing this song when i was 6 years old.....the words of this song still hold true today we are still fighting the same needs as back in the 40s...But no matter what comes our way we can say at the end of the day .Yes we can smile..because we are doing okay ,,
Ever since WWL's Road Gang all-night truckers show introduced me to this recitation 25 or so years ago, I'm inclined to answer people who ask, "how are you?", "how's it going?", etc. by repeating the refrain from this tune.
Hands down one of the greatest songwriters ever. I wish he had more time to record poems like this. LEGEND!

May we always find something to be thankful for. I remember old 78 records at my grandfather's house. We wound up the Victrola to play them.

This was the attitude that a farmer had in the 1940's, unlike people who whine about everything today. It was known as American fortitude.
