[jerzinokie]

[11walkerbillie]

[jaytoddmartin]

a shining example of why youtube serves a purpose for us.

[scorogrif]

PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN OUTLAW CUZ.

[BURNTicePRODUCTIONS]

George Straight never even wrote a song and they call him king. Shameful

[JAMEYJFAN]

amazing performance on this.... this is awesome.. i love his stage presence

[deanorocks1111]

C.A.N.A.D.A!!!!!!!!! Come see us buddy!!!!!! Especially in Edmonton AB!! In Colour!

[ecbwa311]

he is the best. best at writing, best talent in nashville. he is legit country. not that keith urban or rascal flatts or darius rucker crap

[ejalaniz]

Damn I was there for that show! He opened for Billy Currington and put the guy to shame! Good memories thanks for posting!

[bushisbest1999]

to be quite honest i like him singin it better

[djoe1961]

Jamey indeed brings the real deal, and I love the man and his music, I truly do, but comparing him to Bocephus, Rockin Randal Hank, THE man of steel can't be done! Two very distinct badasses!~ Just sayin...

[Firefighter72BG]

@djoe1961 but there both badasses

[pghpens1]

Country means : being American , Workin for a livin , feelin pain , lovin hard and finding a sound track like Jamey to to tie it all together when your kickin back . Thank you Jamey .

[waycephus623]

Jamey has never wrote any songs for other people he just writes about life and other shit that inspires him he did not have a record deal when he sold this song and about 4 or 5 others or he would of put them out

[dtsjlm]

Fellers Jamey is the shit! He's gonna keep country "Country"!

[dpiddy000]

jamey actually gets the credit for a alot of popular country songs...

[deepwoodskentuckian]

uh guys he wrote this for george he never used it on a cd. he has sung in it in a few concerts and live events

[peltel2222]

Jamey is the new man in black. Johnny forgive me please.

[OldBay78]

Boys, it just don't get no better than this!!

[Southatheart]

my hats off to jamey for his talent and actually writing and playing his own material and for being a TRUE country musician unlike the new country thats pop and rock

if you like him feel free to check out our original song n video type in " a girl as dirty as my truck" in your search to find it =)

[drummadave60]

4 poeple dont know this is jamey's song

[wolfpack28339]

jamey johnson is bad ass i love his music.

[wolfpack28339]

jamey johnson is bad ass i love his music.

[SUNSNARE06]

The most bad ass artist in country music....hands down

[richardadams30]

@SUNSNARE06 although i love Jamey,i have to disagre,BOCEPHUS is the original badas.!

[hankIIIfanfromPA]

@richardadams30 original badass has to be the king, bocephus' dad, Hank Sr.

[ryanchamp10105]

george straight doesnt write shit

[CSAvirginia95]

Jamey's the best in the business hands down

[SuperFenderfan]

total bad ass

[sqhschief]

How was Strait allowed to cover this song?

[Eagleclaw72]

@sqhschief Jamey Johnson has said in a few interviews that after his first record deal was dropped, the only thing that kept him from going under was writing and selling songs to other country artists like George Strait. He also wrote Honky Tonk Ba Donka Donk (or however you spell it) for Trace Adkins

[sqhschief]

@Eagleclaw72 Really? That's news to me. Seems like if you could write songs like this then you could make it big, but I guess not.

[notfarc1]

@Eagleclaw72 IM SURE HE KNEW WITH AVOICE LIKE THAT HIS SHIP WASNT SANK

[Eagleclaw72]

@notfarc1 I know thats right!

[butterfly153239]

@sqhschief my guess is that he probably got permission from Jamey himself to do it.

[SuperUnc2009]

Jamey Keep it rockin you kick Azz with this song and Video

[kehoefam]

GEORGE DON"T WRITE HIS OWN MUSIC!! I love George Straight but he has never wrote his own music. This is a beauty Johnson song.

[waylonlover859]

just give all the shit away it will only remind of 11 years of nothin goosd but the kids!!!

[bobbytiger]

Unfortunately,

I never heard of Jamey, until I saw him on "Imus In The Morning".

Now, I can't get enough.

[butterfly153239]

@bobbytiger he writes some damn good songs let me tell ya!

[WaylonForever]

Awwh hell she'll be back

[greatdane115]

whispering bill anderson qrote this song.

[cnblasing]

love Jayme, doesnt hold a candle to Mr. Strait!!

[Gregoryspegal]

@cnblasing Jamey wrote the song

[Duder1969]

Gotta love it............

[mwjnc]

Sorry Terry my bad Billy is half right he did write it with bill sorry

[mwjnc]

Sorry tery911 billyclub is correct

[terry911911]

bullshit jamey wrote this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BillyClub51]

From Wikipedia: ". In 2006, George Strait reached #1 on the Country chart with "Give It Away," a song which Johnson co-wrote with Bill Anderson and Cannon. '

[chevyguy821]

Jamey Johnson wrote this song not george strait

[chevyguy821]

Jamey Johnson wrote this not george strait

[bobquiet]

jamey won a grammy for writing this song...he dedicated half of it to his ex-wife...

[darjan35769]

jamie has wrote more number one hits than more people know,he is the man

[Teiraful1]

@darjan35769 Yes he has, And he is the man... We love you Jamey!!!!

[exomooseoutsider]

jamie wrote this song not george strait bought it off him but jamey wrote it while going through his divorce

[lanky980]

Yes jamie wrote this song not george. george only song he actually ever wrote was trimabadour, think thats how u spell it not to sure but o well

[lanky980]

Yes jamie worte this song not george. george only song he actually ever wrote was trimabadour, think thats how u spell it not to sure but o well

[dixieflsts]

King George can make women cream in their jeans, and make money, but he can't write his own name much less a song.

The heart felt song writting is what puts Jamey Johnson in the company with the likes of Haggard.

[shithawk1000]

jamey did write this song song. or was part of writing it. and yes, george just sings it. didnt write it though

[jbdapitt34]

Jamey Johnson wrote this song. George Strait cut it. If you like guys who pick and write there own stuff check out Matt Stell and the Crashers.

[hollahollayeayea]

NVCowboy1995 keep smokin that pole out there in vegas at your gay bar GEORGE STRAIT DID NOT DID NOT AND DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG

[NVCowboy1995]

[djanimal68]

[bamaslaten]

[missrachel83]

i sooooooooooo love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrKiIIem]

hELL YEAH, HE'S HEARD YOUR NAME...

[waylonfan01]

Now that was bad ass . I like when Jamey and his buddy grab their stuff and bail right affter the songs done , headed to the bar no doubt. I noticed someone autographed that guitar that looked like a W maybe it was a flying W

[acousticfdf77]

He did write this song..and George Strait covered it cowboyfan.

[credle187]

That's one cool SOB. Love JJ!!

[chadlyhowlett]

love this guy wish he would come up north of the border

[johnpolk2]

when real life intersects with a great guitar player and musician you get ggreat music - God bless jamey johnson!!

[grantdawg07]

jamey johnson's rough and toughness plus the fact he wrote it seem to make this song sound better when he sings it. no offense to king george.. they're both the saviors of country music in my book

[lamons71]

I love George Strait to death but i think that Johnson does this song better

[MUDDIN381]

Hes awsome in concert. seen him the other day

[DobermansRock]

The man's guitar is signed by Waylen. Can you see it in Color?

[JohnnyCap0072]

its a 2005 martin guitar and its signed by a guy who died in 2002? your wrong bud, its actually signed by willie nelson and george strait.

[tkfan90]

@JohnnyCap0072 its not a martin u dip shit!

[MrJJfan4life]

Oh hell yea i had front row seats back in july of 09 so badass going again in may in saratoga springs CANT WAIT!

[02THEYcallmeCOUNTRY]

JAMEY is definetly for real and is here to stay! I listen to his music 2-4 hours a day, from 02 they call me country and old maple guitar to the last cowboy! I've had front row seats to 4 concerts in Ohio and Kentucky since August and I can't wait till friday April 2, 2010 when Hank jr. and Jamey invade Charleston, wv., this is a true OUTLAW TOUR! Rowdy and Cowboy keep bending them strings. Play old maple guitar, in this honkeytonk, they call me country in Wv. or proctorville, Ohio July 15 2010

[cc2nutters]

is there anybody else who sings this besides jamey johson and george strait/ i heard a version on the radio of a man with a DEEP voice, didnt sound like either one of those 2

[ericld83]

prolly randy travis or josh turner

[MrJJfan4life]

Jamey is the best there is 2day this is my favorite version of give it away.... these 2 r nasty guitar pickers

[lovehockey64]

Yes it's his song afterall because he is the songwriter.

[bdawggin]

Jamey Johnson Bad mother fucker!!!!! I love him!!

[bshane84]

he is the real thing. i was starving for some new old style country and he's doin' it.

[javajen19]

Damn his voice is sexy!

[bigdave3171]

this is wat country music needed in a long time is some 1 who sings from the heart and wat he want to sing not what nashville want him to sing.keep up the good songs j.j.

[robsmithemt]

[solitajovita09]

[solitajovita09]

@fudgywudgy617 l0l! oh wow. Research buddy..it'll do you some good :) Jamey Johnson and Bill Anderson take all credit. I love George, but he just performs it.

[southerncomfort655]

[drewcoolness]

@solitajovita09

[hondamancbr1]

[BassistTay]

@fudgywudgy617

Jamey Johnson won songwriter of the year for this song :)

[TheJasek7]

@fudgywudgy617 no buddy cannon and bill anderson and jamey wrote it fuck george strait

[waylonlover859]

@fudgywudgy617 george strait did not write this song jamey did

[greatwhitehonky1]

@fudgywudgy617 jamey johnson won an award for writing this song. george is the king of country but he has never wrote his own music except one of he recent ones he wrote with his son called just livin for the night!!

[jrnpro]

@fudgywudgy617 George Strait doesn't write hardly any of his songs. Actually, there aren't many actual singer/songwriters left anymore that write their own songs. Jamey is one of the very few left in REAL COUNTRY MUSIC today!!!!!

[TimeBomb18311]

@fudgywudgy617 no actually jamey johnson wrote it GS just sings it.

[exomooseoutsider]

no he wrote it when he wasnt big and george strait bought it off him. he actually wrote it while he was going through a devorce.

[exomooseoutsider]

jamie worte this song not george. jamey actually wrote it and strait bought it off him and he wrote it while he was going through a divorce

[metsx91]

@fudgywudgy617 ughhh nooo George Straight sang this song be deff didn't write!!

[chevyguy821]

@fudgywudgy617 jamey johnson wrote this song not george strait just thought you'd like to know jamey also wrote honkytonkbadonkadonk

[idridcole]

@fudgywudgy617 C'mon man, Strait hasn't written a hit in nearly thirty years. He has had a team of songwriters for years now. A team!

[2FourtyRider]

@fudgywudgy617 actually he didnt smart one

[foxxygurlride4life]

actually he did.......

[QuackAttack2009]

Yea for Mr. Gerorge Strait

[texen03]

@robsmithemt

neither did George Straight

[texen03]

@robsmithemt YOU ARE WRONG,HE DID WRITE IT!!!

[cowboyfan1113]

@texen03 Jamey Johnson did not write this song, it was wrote by an old classic country singer by the name of Bill Anderson.

[cowboyfan1113]

@cowboyfan1113 i was only half right, Bill and Jamey wrote this together.....my bad

[bucknut81]

@cowboyfan1113 it actually was written by jamey johnson with help and influence of bill anderson. not coming at you but i gotta give jamey credit every chance i get

[chevyguy821]

@robsmithemt yes jamey wrote this song with bill anderson

[milleniuml99]

Its just unreal, the talent , so simple yet so effective.. thats why you have to have to have tyhis gift he has to make it work.. his new song.. my way to you.. should set NAshville on FIRE

[johnmuttley]

this man is a walking singing legand i love his music

[snoopafly213]

jamey johnson HAS totalled turned me on to country music HES THE TRUTH! and this is coming from someone who listened to rap his whole life till he started listening to jamey johnson! WHOOAAAA YEAH!

[GetWetGarry0908]

I mean his exwife must hate her life now!

[NewMexicoSunset]

This guy is the real deal. The last country CD's I bought were Straits CD with this song on it. Eric Church and Jamey. Country radio wouldn't play Marty Stuart's "Pilgrim" album, perhaps the best country CD prior to Jamey. So kudo's to Jamey and congrats on all your recognition. Well deserved partner.

[NewMexicoSunset]

What 's disturbing are all these videos of him performing this song has more women singing. Seems like a battle cry for women. Disturbing.

[greenwooby]

If you are old enough to remember W, W and David A Coe. Remember this guy. Outlaw!!!

[505148]

He can bend a string too

[musikman43155]

He reminds me a David Allan Coe a little bit.

[Lulubell1295]

same!

[ecksploshun]

this is why jamey's cool as hell. playin in a warehouse. my boy!

[SouthernPride67]

He Should Sing~ Long Haired Country Boy

[cjg30]

He wrote this one too.

[Heartlander2]

I try to play this guy's stuff, but can't get used to the capo up so damn far!

[boobs14]

saw him at the Harley dealer in Orlando was excellent!!!!!

[blinck27]

Its good to finally see country singers writing their own music again !

[rhyno1971]

the best...looks like david allan coe..sounds like waylon..good to have real country back..finally

[somecoolcat53]

and writes his own songs!!!

[tahirschy522]

Ofcourse it's more feeling, he wrote it!

[blinck27]

Jamie sings this better then George does , more feeling! Incredible !

[travisfreeman01]

anybody know what the signature on his guitar says?

[SouthernThunder09]

It's signed by Willie Nelson but its upside down

[travisfreeman01]

oh thats cool

[fernandodasilvasilva]

Zé bigodo

[jlcroxt2]

If you get a chance to see his guy live don' t pass it up. Definitely worth the $,

[Chad4035]

Fuck yeah jamey johnson all the way!!

[wahwaw]

He should be able to sing it... HE WROTE IT!

[brandal84]

wow! love this song & jamey he can sing anything

[RYANNCONNER]

look at rowdy j he is the man

[tahirschy522]

First of all it is from an Alabama chorus, if you know anything about Jamey at all you would know that he grew up singing in church. The entire song is about finding his way to the lord, not a woman.

Secondly...If you don't like Jamey...GO FUCK YOURSELF!!

.

[gingerbowling]

we need more singers/writers like him! he is bringin back the old country...and i love it!

[Bobb695667]

@gingerbowling hell yeah

[hellrat74]

Just as I figured...ya ain't got nothing

No cojones, shit mouth??

Well, it is as it should be...

Go on and fall off the face of the earth, empty sacTuner

You fucking sleazy cunt

[MrTunethatguitar]

Yeah, He's a sellout, Universal music owns his ass now. go to his web site, you can't even log on to it. he wants to be Waylon, no chance of it, his sell out ass, I'll out play and perform him anytime, loved him before that, I never thought he'd be a sellout, tell universal or how ever you spell it, to go get bucked! but whatever you do Jamey, don't go to Toby's label, what a puss, thank god for wars and america or he would have no songs, haha name the place, I'll out play your ass!!

[hellrat74]

The place is here, junkshow clown...

And the time is RIGHT NOW---put up a video of youself wielding this extraordinary talent you claim ya got...

Throw it down, shit mouth---otherwise, prudently keep yer flapping yapper SHUT

Thanks

[lmscarberry]

keep tunenthatguitar then if thats what you think. where is you ACM or CMA ??? You couldnt even carry Jameys guitar,let alone out play him! Oh and you need a good horse whippin for "thankin GOD for war! mrtunethatguitar

[avidgolfer08]

You're an idiot. You couldn't do what this man has done in a million years. IF you were any kind of famous musician, you wouldn't be commenting on another musicians videos which they didn't even post. Keep tuning that guitar and maybe you might get one song played on AM radio.

[bgkntryrr]

One hell of a song writer

[lucasgiles]

They dont make country singers like this nowadays.

[hillbillyluchador]

yes they do, there he is! hell yeah! now that's a country singer!

[GetWetGarry0908]

Jamey should have put this song out on a CD. All respect to George but you can just hear the hurt in Jameys voice. its always better to hear the song from the person who went through it all.

[christitansfan]

I agree. He did put out "It Was Me" on his album The Dollar. I still think Redneck Side of Me would be a hit if released.

[kabeal02]

that funny mfer

[itsMaRdamnit]

wish he would put this song on a cd i like his voice more then geroge straights

[bigbluemsp]

Miley is only there becuase of her washed up white trash mullet dad. The same dad who was ousted from radio stations becuase of how he treated fans, media and radio and his lack of respect for the Opry.

Just like Spears and the other whorish person of her time they lacked real talent.

BTW Jamey can sing w/o being doctored wile Hillary and Miley can't.

[zatgfvhjunimk]

oh whatever

[zatgfvhjunimk]

i love this soug lol and i listen to people like miley cyrus and hilary duff people like that but i love this soug

[bigbluemsp]

Thats not music! Jamey is music. That teeny pop crud is horrible. Miley or as I call her Smiley Virus is rank with no talent.

[zatgfvhjunimk]

they do so have talent or they would not be were they are today hes got talent to i was justed saying i love this soug of hes
