  • @yamarider4 Considering she's dead, you necropheliac, I don't see how. How stupid of an answer is that. Grow up. I had an honest opinion on a song I heard, and you come back with a your mom joke? Get real. It's people like you that make websites like this uncomfortable for the rest of us whom don't have sexual relations with old deceased people. Get a life man.

  • in fact of being not an american i had goosebumps from his 1st word on! he is such an amazing artist. great voice, great lyrics and soooo much down to earth! thx for your music aaron/staind. props from germany

  • If you don't like this song your not American! Aaron you couldn't say it any better way. People forgot how this country was made.

  • i have always love this guy he has got the kind of voice that puts chills all over your body

  • Aaron Lewis is the man.....This song is all about me

  • i like the acoustic version better

  • This song is me to a T. Aaron you summed it up from the lil town up a dirt road to smokin a lil weed and proud to be an American!

  • anyone who don't like this is a socialist or communist. this is what America is! if you don't feel this way go to CHINA!

  • @jamesmyers1980 YOUR SO MISSINFORMED SON , BUT YOU KEEP WATCHING YOUR CNN AND SLAVING FOR THAT ROOT OF ALL EVIL GODS PEACE BE WITH YOU

  • anyone who don't like this is a socialist or communist. this is what America is!

  • 15 people accidentally hit the wrong button or they are def. Those are the only 2 possibilities

  • @TonySnow19831 agreed!

  • If you can't respect this song move out of U S of A.....we all have roots.....

  • @nobily yea true i wasnt born in the usa but i was raise here in the us, so yea i do appreciate and take some of the good things granted here. one of the important one is in the bill of rights "freedom of speech" which not alot of country dont have or got taken away.

  • listen to Hanging on by a Thread. Aaron Lewis and Staind helped to inspire me to finish The Lyrics, Thank You Aaron Lewis.

  • i keep wanting him to break into "'cause i'm a cowboy...  on a steeeeel hoorse i riiiiiiide! lol.

  • well, i guess i dont hate country music anymore

  • Comment removed

  • LMAO ! i hear ya man...

  • @carrollnewby69 My thoughts exactly~ if this is country then I don't hate it but I don't think you can really label him other than ~ talented ~.

  • @carrollnewby69 Its a matter of finding the right country. Its a brick in heystack. You can find easy enough if you just look.

  • amazing! my favorite artist all around!

  • well,i thought this was kick ass,an speaks the truth about country.....

  • true story you say? so you sold your to the devil and smoke weed? you are a country boy! Keep the country music up. love you rock songs but i love this country!

  • he was a little slow .. not too much passionate and up high as he use to be in this song .. as he mentioned earlier before this session that probably didnt capture in the vdo .. that he had his solo performance just last night and he is tired but he had to throw this event as per the contract with the gibson .. even then he's amazing .. lolx

  • Well i have to say to all of u guys makeing comments about this song.Look i have lived it and still am.No matter where u are now or your back round.Look country is a way of life it stays with u its a part of u.Its something that defines who u are respect,family,friends,God.To argue about something about well u had this and that you arent country come on really

  • 12 people have no taste in music

  • wow.....this is badass

  • I don't listen to "new" country but Aaron Lewis just changed my mind.

    Grade "A" song

  • Is this an original?

  • this song rocks great job aaron you rock i love all your music!!

  • I love this song this is the soundtrack to my life

  • Real country is still hanging on.

  • live on the outskirts of abilene TEXAS,,lived in LA growin up,, i'll take these O'l country roads any day of the week,, if ain't you,, stay where your at cause we like it the way it is just fine...don't really care bout all the talk ,, wouldn't mind hearin o'l dude jam that over a fire swiggin on a few cold ones,,thats a good time to me,, hells yeah

  • @smoothoperator325 that does sound like a hell of a time.. id b there

  • i just heard this song on the radio in the car 2 days ago and it gave me goosebumps and i dont listen to country at all......great song and lyrics

  • Love this song!!! Aaron Lewis such a unique and amazing voice......never heard any songs of his that i dont like!

  • @NcCountryGirl87 he sings it good but its a hank song

  • @curtisgh0st whats a hank song? there are a few similarites between this and and very uptempo hank jr song, but im not sure what youre sayin...

  • @curtisgh0st No its not

  • Aaron Lewis grew up in Longmeadow MA. An all white town with a household median income of $90,000. A country boy? Please. Get real.

  • @bobtat income doesnt say weather your a country boy or not, i come from a fairly wealthy family that owns more farm land than you could imagine i consider myself a country boy and our household income is more than double that...

  • @bobtat So you're saying you have to be poor to be a country boy? I think not. Let's get real.

  • My 3 1/2 cents (and I'm not world's largest country fan extraordinaire) ...Aaron lewis may not actually be country but, Keith Urban = Pop/commerce. THIS SONG = what country has always been about. Good stuff here :)

  • i love Aaron lewis but i just coulndt help but notice that he forgot the lyrics on the second verse muxt of been when he first wrote it lol hes awsome!!

  • why waste time to give the haters response ?love haters cuz they work so hard at what they do !

  • If You Think This Is A Bad Song, Why Listen To It? Ignorant Mother Fuckers.

  • this is a great song

  • His best work has been solo with an acoustic. I find it funny that others who love Staind really hate this song. Too much hate for the message and too little tolerance in their hearts. Love that the Gadsden flag is getting some love.

  • why do people get so worked up over someone they dont know/have never met

  • i don't care if fifty cents as my wife calls him sang the song I like it

  • cba working them out... anyone know the chords to this acoustic version?

  • @skincrawl25 word why look this video just to talk shit

  • Very Impressed. I just love the cross over artist. Truely shows the versitality of the individual. Love it!

  • anyone who thinks they can preech and judge music are litteraly retarded, because music is a feeling not a fact and i dont care what anyone says, i think thing song is badass. music is an opinion so all you dumbfucks out there who think its necesary to try an change someones mind about a song or band or try to act like you can make the song suck can blow me.

  • i think this is the greatest song since hank sang country boy can survive great lyrics and played great you go aaron

  • this song fucking rocks

  • Aaron, you are the man! I'm going to learn this song tonight.  Good stuff.

  • oldcabbage177-your a dick. This is something you never saw coming. IF you are not an american dont fucking listen to this song asshole. your a piece of shit. You know nothing about serving your country. You are a geek, I served 8 years before I c ame home

  • I Fucking LOVE this song!!!

  • Fuck this bullshit. I guess everyone got sick of the same old same old bullshit sad rock songs over and over again and he figured he'd give this crap a shot. Go back to fucking mudshovel please and stop this country garbage.

  • @oldcabbage4846177 stfu. ur jus a dumbass metalhead. ur the metalhead that insults true metalheads n music fans. ur jus a little punk. u should always have respect for some1 living there dream

  • @babyface0514 Good try kid, its not that I'm a white trash metalhead at all. Infact I like alot of country, anything really except rap. I was only saying this guy is as country as Gwyneth Paltrow, its a fucking joke. This song sucks dick and he should go back to rock, and not the sad slow nickelback trash.

  • @oldcabbage4846177 see thats ur problem and most peoples problem now. the world is evolving and the human mind ever evolves as well. if this was trash it would not sell. u just have no respect for aaron lewis as an artist. u only want him 2 play wat u wanna hear. he plays wat he wants to play. not wat fans n media expect him 2 play. he is a reall artist cause he not giving in to the media or wat the fans want. he plays wat he wants. respect it or dont listen 2 it bitch

  • @babyface0514 I disagree, sorry. He is half jew from Massachusetts, not country at all. I think that him touring with Limp Bizkit and Cold and Family Values tour is over. That time has come on gone in music and he is grabbing one last straw trying to do something still in the business. He is no more country than I am.

  • @oldcabbage4846177 jus cause he part jew. really ur so stupid. it dont matter where u are from or wat race u. u can be whatever u want. by country boy he not sayin redneck or nething like that. if u had an open mind you would know that u moron. he not losin the music he just doin different things u have no right 2 talk bout this or this music cause ur simple minded

  • @babyface0514 Sorry to upset you so much kid, I didn't think anyone would get so worked up over this guy becoming a wash up.

  • @oldcabbage4846177 Who are you to say he isn't a country artist who decided to go rock n roll to make money. If you listened to the song he mentions "selling his soul to the devil in LA....but that's not me." If you actually listen to lyrics in a song you might pick up the message. He's a country boy. He lives in a town of 1200, he hunts dear, he drives a diesel truck, his family is military, he flies the American Flag and the Gadsden Flag....where I come from, THAT'S COUNTRY!

  • Hey Aaron,

    Thanks for your music, once again.

  • i dont think hes country. you can be a country boy and still rock

  • @jwell48 yes u can. jus like sum1 says man u rocked. its a term that can be used pretty much for nething good. it was a rockin concert can mean so many things same as he can still rock. open your mind to the whole world and nature. not just the media world. theres 2 worlds on earth. the choice is obvious but its easier said than done. respect wat we have been given n not wat u think u deserve or own

  • wowww great song

  • Wow.  That is freakin' amazing. I would have killed* to have been there.

    *the word "killed" does not actually mean any specific, real or intended threat of violence against any liberal. FBO.

  • is this the guy from stained. i can't tell

  • @RockinVanHalen Aaron lewis is the lead singer of staind.

  • @RockinVanHalen yea it is

  • I first heard Aaron on CMT, his powerful voice, his rough looking woodsy character is exactly what and is middle America. Not that of California, or New York fame. His song, the very words instilled a powerful message, a soulful warning from a Nation...

  • @jackathome85 lol hun its workin :)

  • Comment removed

  • check out his new channel AaronLewis TV for the official version!

  • AMAZING! Aaron Lewis is just amazing. His voice is one of a kind.

  • I love Aaron's voice. I'm so happy he's a country boy. I'm very happy he loves this country and the people who serve it. I'm proud to have always been his fan, him going country (for this song or more) just made him my favorite music artist all over again.

  • You might see why it has that "hank" sound if you watch the actual vid. If you play music you know that most country /southern rock is based off of the same 3 or 4 chord template. Tthats kinda what makes country music sound country.. Its a hybrid -ish mix of country boy can surive, devil went down to georgia and copperhead road.. three staples of southern country music.

    its not ment to sound like something new. A country boy, cowboy, redneck & hill billy are not the same people.

  • I guess ya'll havent saw the actual video? you might see why it has that "hank" sound. if you play guitar you know that most country /southern rock is bades off of the same 3 or 4 chord template. thats kinda what makes country music sound country.. its a hybrid -ish mix of country boy can surive, devil went down to georgia and copperhead road.. the three staples of southern country music.

    its not ment to be something new.

  • essa é a melhor versão que já foi gravada, esquece o estúdio... acústico é o que há!!

  • THIS SONG IS BADASS!

  • This is a really cool song. Just really strange hearing Aaron Lewis sing those lyrics.

  • 6 people who watched this are terrorists FIND THEM!

  • I love this song , growing up in Agawam , Massachusettes , where Aaron is from, he understands that the Country Boy is from everywhere,(not only the south, mason dixon line) and we grew up hunting, my grandfather would take us 30 miles to the woods and tell us how to write a generic song that kid rock fans could understand ,

    enough money george jones and charlie daniels will be on your record

  • the version with teh band is horrible.

    Its so much better with ONLY THE ACOUSTIC, no other bullshit.

  • Lyrically that is ... Not instrumental

  • @tjwvjc1332 I guess what I mean .... Take a listen amdalso listen to ""long haired country boy"" by Charlie Daniels ... I swear man it's leftovers with new gravy ...

  • @robotjohny... dude we can think whatever the fuck we want !!.. And I say that the song country boy was either done by Hank Williams ... Or was it country folk? Whatever

    Anyone who thinks this is an original think again ... Its like movies today they just keep making remakes of old movies ... Same with music ... And it's bullshit because the true artist never gets recognized ... And that's not cool man

  • @7172971729 WELLLLLLL....Hank JR sang Country Boy CAN SURVIVE. Not a damn thing like this master peice. Although still a badass song and an anthem for some of us but so is this, minus a few lines.
