Jamey Johnson, You Can't Cash My Checks

[jeremybullock100]

now thats country music!!!

[jaggerandjolenemommy]

We listen to this amazing singer Every day! Love him! ...but weird thing is he looks soooo much like my brother in law...lead singer in Colt Harley...check out their videos. Seriously. twin. Omg. So strange. LOL ... Love this live version of a beautiful song. amazing voice and talent....lyrics hit you right in the heart, where it counts xo

[zetaiotapike2000]

I like how at the beginning everyone is laughing but very soon fall silent. This song brought me to tears when I saw him live (alcohol helped). Very relatable song

[Duder1969]

@zetaiotapike2000 Exactly what I noticed too,saw him live and you just can't fake that.......

[billyuba]

FIRST TIME HEARING HIM, FOREVER LOVING HIM!!!

[liljohnept]

man this the first time i have heard of him ..wow takes me back to listening to outlaw country .....country that they wouldn't play on the radio when I was young

[jackbeam11]

Hell Yeah....some REAL country....to hell with all the pop country out there

[TheIronchef77]

saw him in columbia missouri!!! Holy shit! that's all I can say man!

[mrrazorblade227]

I don't think it's something you laugh at but whenever I listen to this I detect a little black humor regarding the rooster and the weed grow op just over the hill, that he's accepted this is the way it is and it sucks but might as well be able to smile and hope tomorrow is different. that said, every person interprets a song differently and every interpretation is correct if it helps that person in an old soldiers opinion

[jwilk0525]

Great song.. but y is everyone laughing? I know there all drunk and whatnot. But this song is so poetic and passionate. U can almost feel his pain or well hell if Ur living in hard times.u can feel Ur own pain like someone put u under a microscope. This is what true country is all bout. Passion and love and heartache. And u can actually feel and understand the words unlike that hip hop shit that the general public is buying into

[MrFordman1977]

@jwilk0525 you hit the the nail on the head man

[charlieohms]

hot damn just when you think country is dead the good lord gives us Jmie



[jaggerandjolenemommy]

OMG! Amen brother...and i am agnostic... he gives me hope ;)

[HoursAwake]

You'll see all these plants, thats payin my bills.

Awesome

[electech99]

He is the best thing to hit country music in the past couple of decades!

[StephenScottMinton]

Jamey is absolutely on fire in GA!!! Can't stop at a red light without hearing him. Just shows how hungry people are for real country music instead of all this bull-shit you hear on the radio.

[warrenmeek]

Yes it is on "The Guitar Song" and is one of my favorites

[nicksdad26]

is this song on his new cd?

[kgdymd]

Damn, I love this guy. I sure hope he plays in NY. Peace

[jonathan5759]

this is whats up dm seal is comming!

[Jhinson500]

i think that song is directed straight to our corrupt "GOVERNMENT",thats how i hear it anyway

[telecasterbear]

when you have the words, like jamey does, the music just falls right into place

[jackcgurley374]

Jamey Johnson is an inspiration and a role model to me. he'll save country music. damn right.

[MrHeadscan]

2 people obviously dont know what hard times are

[mcgrattan19]

my god when he sings the beginning of the chorus for the first time and you can hear a pin drop, gives me chills every time

[Marty3oh]

GOOSE BUMPS!!

[jdymes101101]

bring the the old school back jamey!

[xxparsley]

this is a sing about me. he wrote it after visiting my house.

[iamashytalk]

It doesn't get any better

[Thatsrhomer]

This guy is so country it is painful. I hear Kristofferson influences. Refreshing to see today!

[6pantera6rocks6]

its nice to see that someones still flyin the flag for true country music

[stephenjray1988]

does Jamey use in ear monitors?

[stephenjray1988]

@Jhinson500 yea he is the best country singer song writer not no pop Taylor shit and the rascal rats and Keith crack head -- i mean urban lol

[diesellifter]

WOW he wroe this about me

[Bronco79Dylan]

Jamey Johnson is the best singer in country music right now by a long shot, he is honestly the only true country music singer out, i cant wait to see him live again!!!!!

[chaseeeee13]

best song ever written.. hands down.

[Erikg330]

all them people laughing aint nothig funny about this song this man is serious come on people this is real life country music at its best mr. jamey jhonson you are country music not no taylor carrie.

[guitarmick69]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this -- I'm watching, listening to the lyrics, and thinking, "What the hell are they laughing about?" I wonder what Jamey thought as he was singing this....

[idridcole]

@guitarmick69 I agree completely man. I bet it pissed him off!

[1greatcue]

Man every time I have a few beers and get onto my You tube channel this is the first song I go to and then I hit repeat on it. Gotta lov it ,I know it's not just me!

[albyd2004]

1st annual AMA's and not even a nomination (that i seen) WTF is wrong here, country radio and tv suck major corporate ass, the man has sung, piss off a suit and buy his music.

[DRK4x4]

EAT THE ROOSTER AND SLEEP IN...

[allenhursey]

this song reminds me that the country music crowd has no soul. people that live this shit dont laugh anywhere through the song.

[Hounsfield]

why does this audience get such a kick outta the first line. what a bunch of jackasses

[ChrisMcClain2011]

greatest song writen.

[jdsanchez473]

what a badass

[trjr38]

if this is a songwriters' fest...how the hell do you follow this. Just amazing.

[TheTurbocrx1990]

jamey is the savior of country!

[onton1taly]

If you like Jamey you need to check out Jackson Taylor and the Sinners. They kick ass and have opened for Jamey on several occasions. Jamey and Jackson are true outlaw country.

[j21thed]

my favorite artist.....so much emotion...true outlaw country at its best....

[Timahboy]

Does it get much better than that live? My goodness.

[gavinmable]

by god u cant cash my checks

[angie635]

o goodness..

[netw52]

I really, really like this kid. I've been around since Moses was a pup, so I've heard my share of country music. Johnson has a lot of country in his soul. It bleeds through in almost all of his songs.

[redsoxcheer09]

His voice gives me cold chills...He is AMAZING! 

[nicksdad26]

he hit the dam nail on the f'ing head on that one mr johnson is the best there is,was or ever will be

[tecorvin]

i know ui hate that damm green tractor song , i wudnt sing that junk for million bux , that song it honesty , he writes and sings from the heart ,

[jenny83ish]

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jamey <3 u!!!!!!!!!!

[kent2360]

This song is awesome as is J Johnson but he surely wrote it to get a laugh and the audience totally got it...very cool stuff..I bet if you hung with him he wouldn't say much but when he does he's the funniest guy in the room-very dry wit...

[RastaMastaKonTiki]

That was awesome.

[JackLatty353725]

The reason they are laughing is because his words. "it's to make a honest livin in a world that's headed for hell, so if you go out my backdoor just over the hill you'll see all the plants that's been payin my bills" mr. Johnson is talkin about selling weed.

[knoelm2]

I think the audience is laughing in appreciation for his use of words - it IS a song writer's convention. :)

[knoelm2]

I think they're laughing at his phrasing it is a song writters festival so they probably hadn't heard the song before. I think the laughter is reasonable, you can even see he enjoy's their enjoyment of the song.

[BruceDeuce72]

Why are these idiots laughing? This is a very touching song, not some Ray Stevens shit. Wow

[Chevydipper1500]

the people laughing ruin this vid this song its home i view it as a serious song but these fucks view it as comedy. sorry asses should keep listening to their cheese dick pop country and let the real men and women of the country have their music.

[stratodavius]

Maybe there will be a day where this song won't give me the chills. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

[fullylegit]

@stratodavius me too, everytime i hear it

[slinginguitarman]

this IS what country damn well should be,loved the lonesome song album,and the guitar song album is one cool ass concept,first time i heard this song i fliped,of course it'll never get played on main stream radio cause ther aint one pop note on it, and there aint some damn blonde in shorts shaking her ass singing it,in a word it's REAL.

[DRK4x4]

IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME COUNTRY HAD ANOTHER GOOD SINGER THAT WRITES HIS OWN MUSIC THAT MEANS SOMETHING. KEEP IT UP JAMEY, WE NEED YOU.

[BruceDeuce72]

Great song! I really didnt see the humor in it though. OL Waylon would be very proud.

[hhendren84]

Can listen to it over and over....

[BruceDeuce72]

@hhendren84 i hear ya bro

[hhendren84]

[rsraper1]

People like Jamey is why country music is around, not the pop country junk mostly on the radio.

[SuperTrailerpark]

Jamey is the real deal, no rascal flats here

[chorusfreak12]

@SuperTrailerpark  you mean rascal faggs?

[copebuckle01]

@chorusfreak12 YES!!! Im not the only person who calls them that. people hate me for it hahaha

[bootson247365]

One of the few keepin COUNTRY music alive...true to the bone and I love it...one of the best of all time right here! Hands down. Keep on Jamey!

[milleniuml99]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johndeereboy820]

@mcgrattan19 I couldnt agree more

[DrKiIIem]

send me a check JJ...make it out to Bubba....or one of them plants will do!!!

[mcgrattan19]

it really annoys me that they laugh at this song

[timrr2007]

Some people are born to be legends. Jamey Johnson is one of those!

[nicklesaj]

why the hell are they laughing? I saw him play this at Farm Aid, very touching.

[elevatin124]

I listen to this song every day, in todays economy it hits home with hard workin', broke Americans like us! This song isn't supposed to be funny, yall are right, we do what we have to do to feed the hungry mouths around the house!

[TheJodiandShannon]

this is the real deal man this is country !!!!

[elevatin124]

if somebody gets the tabs for this please share :)

[jennirobeck]

This song is on his new CD. It completely annoys me that people are laughing through this song as if it's humorous. This song was written for the American Farmer. It's heart wrenching in my opinion, not funny.

[mwk1977]

@jennirobeck They also laughed on "mental revenge". Like it's some new song that they've never heard before. IDIOTS

[dixiebloodhound]

reccon Rascal Flatts can hear this?

[elevatin124]

@dixiebloodhound AMEN!

[thedig10]

Love this song. Hoping it's on the new CD.
