It isn't so much a song as a tale and a history lesson. Songwriting has been missing from country music since about 2000....every song these days is the same thing. Old country music had meaning, passion, and power. It had a story to tell. It talked of love and heartache, of real relationships and forever love, not just sex. I miss it.

[Penelope Bargi]

Yes, the south used to be solidly Democratic (hence the name 'solid south'). Roosevelt's New Deal (Social security, public works projects) and Johnson's Great Society (Medicare, Medicaid) helped a lot of impoverished areas in the south. Too bad both political parties are now corrupt and don't care at all about the American people.

[VOLFANATIC3]

Then don't listen to country genius...

[Joshua Ebanks]

If you want racist song look up "song of the south remix" that shit is rasist!

[ILuhhMeShumBF]

Don't be ignorant Vincent. I dislike most of the black population myself, but, at some point, a line has to be drawn brother... We can all dance to the same tune, white, black, yellow or purple.

[ILuhhMeShumBF]

Proud hillbillies. Go fuck your goat, yankee!

[Robert Northrup]

love this song

[Euan Wallace]

The South is full of hillbillies

[TheTexas1994]

There is nothing racist about this song! It is talking about southerners during the Great Depression! I don't understand why everyone feels like spreading their ignorant remarks regarding the South and black people! It is infuriating

[Vincent Petrov]

It could be considered racist seein as blacks and working don't mix anymore, shit, niggers are like Christmas lights, their all chained together and half of em don't work.

[Slade Adams]

I believe its TVA, as in Tennessee Valley Authority

[homersipes]

to all of you that think this song is about racism, GO RETAKE HISTORY!! its all about the great depression and the hard times on people then, hence, "wall street fell" , "papa got a job with the TBA" . damn how many people flunked history?
