[sammyjo9110]

I love this song! I like pop and rock and hip hop but sometimes I feel like I'm not country anymore, but then I turn on this song and the country girl inside of me comes out!one day me and my cousins were goin to mabes pizza when this song comes on and my cousin, Kim, yells out KIDS BOP!!!! It was hilarious

P.s I'm 14

[32hotdaddy]

Dear President Obama, Listin to this song. Stop sending our jobs overseas to India. This song is about the blue collar workers. The blue collar workers are the foundation as well as the heart and soul of this country. If it wasnt for them we would have nothing. Thank You.

[StarrFish10]

The first time i heard this song i was like what the heck but then i fell in love with this song.

[ThePolarissupersport]

1 person doesnt think that a hard hat and a hammer is ok

[ThePolarissupersport]

1 person thinks theirs someything wrong with a hard hat and a hammer

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

seriously? stop with the welfare bullshit. believe it or not but there are some people out there who have jobs and still dont make enough money to provide food and healthcare for their families.

[Larrymilman]

@ncfordcountrygirl15

Uh..if i may may.....it is talking about the worker.....not his pay...... :D

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@Larrymilman i know this but it seems as if some people dont

[DixieWhiteRider]

[cheeserules31502]

[ewq123ify]

Thank you alan jackson you can relate to lower/middle class

[plantman002]

Country Men all at one time in life had a hard hat &a hammer, cause they know you must work for a dollar!

[xxlonexxwolf]

i have no use for lazy pieces of shit on welfare iv been worken since i was fifteen and havent stoped. they think we owe them somthing then go out and have more kids just to get more welfare i think we need to take them out in a field and find a short piece of rope and a tall tall tree cause they aint even worth the pcice of a bullit

[TheVideo5094]

@xxlonexxwolf you can relate to the middle class thanks for understanding

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@xxlonexxwolf i understand the having more kids to get more money part, but even while working, some people need welfare.

[scrags12535]

@ncfordcountrygirl15 that is why welfare should have a filter, I have no problem with people who really truly work their asses off but still need help. But, xxlonexxwolf has a point, there are many a people out there using welfare for what it wasn't made for. I believe we should screen everyone before giving them welfare or medicade or whatever, and if they have a job and work 40+ hours every week and still need aid; they should get it. But, if they are jobless and have been for a longtime no

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@scrags12535 i agree but what about those who cant get jobs? they need help too. example: felons. no one wants to hire them, even when theyve done their time and are better people. they still need to have money to live. not everyone has the luxury of having a job

[scrags12535]

@ncfordcountrygirl15 Well, Felons can get jobs, my friend Skip has one and he's a repeated felon. The fact of the matter is, a job isn't a luxury but a nessesity. No matter what your past is you can get a job and that is a fact. Yeah it might be harder for some rightly or not it is do-able. And you can quote me on that.

[jmw161]

@xxlonexxwolf thats right

[clb1231000]

@xxlonexxwolf amen to that!

[pccsoccer30]

COAL MINERS!!!

[illtieudwn]

why are u even posting anything about public aid shut the fuck up and listen to the song

[ewq123ify]

this song really describes how most people live in this country working hard to pay the bills

[Dootindahouse]

God bless the workin man.

[brimarie712]

1 person has a problem with a hard hat and a hammer,

but their perfectly fine with a welfare check and lazyboy.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@brimarie712 im perfectly fine with welfare checks being give out as long as a lazyboy aint involved in the process and its give out to people who actually need it in order to get by.

[brimarie712]

@ncfordcountrygirl15 thats what was intended, people cheat the system to get elfare checks and they sit on their ass all day, just relying on the welfare and not even trying to get a job..and then everyone wonders why were in s much debt.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@brimarie712 exactly!

[TheVideo5094]

@ncfordcountrygirl15 you are 100% right

[1f5sda]

Alan Jackson for President!

[MasterWelder1991]

@1f5sda that would be a pretty cool president

[1f5sda]

@MasterWelder1991 Sure would! I hope you and your friends have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[tommyprks]

whats wrong with u ppl welfare isnt a good thin neither is foodstamps medicaid is an exception but the other two welfare is good for like a month or two then it should get cut off ik times r hard but there r still plenty of jobs and if u need food grow it how do u think ppl made this far they grew there own food u can buy a pack of seeds for like 1 dollar my faimly lives on a 1 1/2 acre area and we have 5 mouths to feed my step dads the only one wroking makeing 8.75 an hour but we grow our food.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@tommyprks whats wrong with you? where im from youre extremely lucky if you have a job. and what about people who live in trailer parks? they cant just go out and grow food. some people just need help and sometimes even a job cant pay for the bills AND food.

[jordan96527]

my dad sounds like this song would fit him

[MrStrongarms]

i broke my back wearing a hard hat and swinging a hammer A UNION CARPENTER now it hurts to tie my boots wish i could go back wish i could have my strength back i wish i could set a mile of wall forms being disabled not only hurts my back but its tearing a hole in my soul :( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[FrostiStrawberry]

Love Alan Jackson<3

He's a country legend. :D

[kylejc21]

i got the opportunity to go to college but i aint i just want a blue collar job i think i'd die if i had to wear a white collar and tie everyday

[Rottergotterdam]

@gunsNrosesfan97

Sludehammers? I have to wonder about where you are from because I had a MGySgt when I was in the Marines call them "sludge hammers" as well and I'd never heard it--you're the first person I've heard use that term. Is this a regional thing? (I'm not making fun, I'm just curious because these small intricacies and dialects interest me a lot)

[joeyjhc]

another thing, for the men anyway. If you don't have a job quit crying. If you have two legs, two arms, and graduated highschool uncle sam will always have a job and collage waiting for you.

[joeyjhc]

All of you people are talking about there being a bad goverment now. Do you realize that this goverment is working very hard to create jobs and give tax breaks for working class people like myself. You should learn a little more before you pass judgement.

God bless- Joe

[afropop123]

hell yeah man i work 12 hours a day 6 to 7 days a week in a diecast factory for minimum wage its hot, hard and dangeous but you feel good at he end of the day knowing that you worked your ass off for every dollar in that paycheck

[318dodgeN350camaro]

the 1 who disliked is lazy

[bjracing84]

THIS...Ladies and Gentleman, is Country Music!

[joeu5431]

Huh reminds me when I built a treehouse few years back wasent that fun*fall*

[kellykat32]

theres nothing wrong with a hard-head hannah hammer.

[MichaylaaaSue]

LABOR DAY WEEKEND YEEEAAA!!!!!!! 9/6/10

[snowleopard96]

sweet song

[PeidraFanGurl1]

My mom is a single mom, so I can see where most ya'll are coming from. I am in a wheelchair and I'm only 17 so she can't work and social security does nothing because her unemployment counts against her as making to much money. The government has gone to hell in a hand basket.

[c00lch1ck37]

god bless the working man

[MasterWelder1991]

@c00lch1ck37 hell yeah

[hellhounds20]

th workers bein hit harder than these folk here r the truckers (my mom). i say this song is for my mom cuz she works hard everyday for all 4 of us. i have high respect for all the hard workin men and women out there they should be treated better than our piece of shit government.

[pith191]

this songs for my dad

[drizzle186]

this is the working mans anthem right here?

[NCOProductions]

In my opinion, it's okay to be on welfare if you meet certain requirements. Like, if you're disabled... But if you can work perfectly fine, and you choose not to, and sit around collecting welfare, what the fuck? That's wrong. Because us hard working people go and bust our asses so they can sit on their ass doing nothing. Food stamps.. Those are okay all around. I don't have any problem with that.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@NCOProductions well my mama is a single workin parent & we still need food stamps & medicaid & stuff like that because she doesnt get paid enough money to pay for the bills as well as food & health care

[NCOProductions]

@ncfordcountrygirl15 My mom is too man. She's single working, and has to support two children. It's almost like people like her are being punished for hard work.

She makes.. I don't know, around 28,000 a year. And that's great for the area I live in. However, the goverment says, YOU MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY, and won't give her the support she needs, so we're fallin behind on a lot of shit. The governemnt is so stupid.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@NCOProductions tell me bout it. the government really dont know how hard it is fer some people to git by

[NCOProductions]

@ncfordcountrygirl15 Yeah no doubt, I live in West Virginia and gas prices and food prices are just ridiculous. It's bull. We need a brand new government. No doubt in my mind the founding fathers are turning over in their graves right now.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@NCOProductions yea i hear ya

[MrFrame2014]

@NCOProductions I live in WV myself. and the way my grandparents growl its pretty bad in this ol world and it will be my generation to fix it.

[iluvamanda4evuh]

@NCOProductions certain amout of months or if they really need it then as long as they need it needs to be harder to get im not saying like the people who need it they still should be able to like they do now but the ones that just draw should only get it for few months the ones that need it should have extended time to get it

[iluvamanda4evuh]

@ncfordcountrygirl15 i no man im starting a family and trying to find a job and everything and noone is hiring in my area im from tennessee and its hard i may have to get on food stamps and welfare and stuff till i get on my feet unless i get help from my family or something but i no some people who just draw welfare and its wrong i hate people that do that when they are perfectly workable like the rest of us and i agree with you all the way its not a gift every month it should be only gave for

[TheVideo5094]

@NCOProductions two words Thank you,they need to send the lazy ones to work

maybe we'll get out of the recession

[cmedd32]

@NCOProductions Ya foodstamps are mmmm Good.

[TheVideo5094]

@cmedd32 What is your problem, you need to get up and work if you are on the welfare or try to find work

[PeidraFanGurl1]

My Grandpa has spent the last 20 years or so doing a job that he doesn't want to do anymore, but he knows it's the only thing that keeps him living. My mom worked in a factory for 8 years, she hated it, but she got up and did it anyway. It would be nice if people took the time to realize that without the working class, we have nothing. Great song! Nice video too!

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@PeidraFanGurl1 thanks :)

[NSCORP]

Take that you welfare collectors taking money from me and every man and woman who has to work for our money.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@NSCORP some people actually do need welfare though because their jobs dont pay them enough money to fill their needs for example: food

[blasterrider555]

@ncfordcountrygirl15 no they dont need welfare if those poeple paid attention in school they would have a higher paying job!!

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@blasterrider555 well some actually DID go to school & paid attention. its just that they didnt have enough money to go to college. not everybody does & not everybody gets scholarships or pass for financial aid.

[ZackTheKack]

Grandpa spent 35 years at a job he hated because it was something to keep going with. I spent three years in construction and service before I couldn't find work. This song is A: amazing and B: something that more people should think about.

[tankismydoggy]

this is my song:)

[JustJoshinY]

Great song, great video. I love how they have the hammer in there doing the beats. It makes the song that much better!

[chemislife]

this song is like 40 hour week by alabama

they need more of these songs people are starting to forget that we need a WORKING CLASS too not jest glory jobs like doctors and pilots

whats with the pause for the last minute of the vid?

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@chemislife im sorry. i didnt even no it was like that. it wasnt when i made it...

[cowboy5632]

Love th is new album from Alan, this song should be at #1 right now but instead crap like Taylor Swift is.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@cowboy5632 i know right? i dont even consider Taylor Swift a country singer

[cowboy5632]

@ncfordcountrygirl15

Thats because she's not lol 

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@cowboy5632 true but shes still recognized at the cmt awards

[cowboy5632]

@ncfordcountrygirl15

Not my fault there is a identiy crisis.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@cowboy5632 yea there is a identity crisis

[huntinmaster11]

Awesome song and great job on the video man!

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@huntinmaster11 thanks

[Lablover1000]

Love this song. Awesome job on vid.

[ncfordcountrygirl15]

@Lablover1000 thank you so much!

[bloodywolfgirlofdark]

this song tells the truth

[95coleapalmer]

alot of country singers can relate to what the middle class/lower class live with and that makes me respect them way more then a raper/rock star ect.

[Jake520520]

@95coleapalmer yea. you don't ever hear some rapper singin bout and givin respect for workin men!!!!

[catman974]

best song!!!
