Ya'll know why this music is so good? Because it's country taken back to its roots. Its not that overly commercialized country pop garbage sung by some city boy in a cowboy hat. This music is as real as it gets.
Not many writing songs like Corb Lund. An American original from Canada. His lyrics are just different. Over the top. Makes me want to get a horse and a cow.
Satirically accurate bucolic workingman commentary from a Canadian artist. There's 300 million more people in the US than in Canada, yet Corb is the closest thing to real country in North America.
@@alabastardmasterson cause he grew up in an agricultural area, i grew up 45 minutes from where corb came up and I know plenty of guys like he’s describing in the song. Alberta is Canada’s Texas. All Ag, Oil, and trades out here
I grew up on a farm. Remember, always use the right sized wrench for the right sized nail. Vicegrips will save your life. When in doubt, get a bigger hammer and use the cutting torch. Save all your fasteners when you can. You never have the right wrench. No sheer pin? Find a soft bolt. Angle iron fixes everything.
As a professional jack of all trades I was reduced to tears of laughter. We (those that know) all know who this song is about. Over the years I have known a few of them and have always asked 'why do you keep sending them to me?' Kinda like Red Green - ya get er or ya don't.PS - If you don't get it then this is about you!
Same man I was laughing my ass off. Haven't had a song make me laugh so hard in a long time. The "And he's a Goddamn menace with an air nail gun" line had me just about rolling on the floor.
@@chaddesantis4191 Me too. And not entirely willingly. I just never happen to have QUITE the right tool...But I have a welder and I'm stubborn enough to make it.
if you cant relate to this song your not trying! some of the stuff ive seen people do to cars myself included would make some people very nervous. keep it up corb and guys every album gets better and better.
I used to work at an agricultural airport loading fertilizer, and EVERY TRUCK they had was different because of all the improvised fixes they'd had over the years. On one truck, pulling the lever down would unload the fertilizer, and on another, it would cram it back into the chute from whence it came.
Pride of Canada the new age stompin Tom conners if I didn't know better I'd swear this song was written about my nephew Blair Holmgren who we lost back in2014 gone but not forgotten long live corn Lund you're one of the greatest country singers of today & tomorrow

I worked in a heavy equipment repair yard for a construction company. This was the shop’s unofficial company theme song. Those field crews beat the ever loving god out of the equipment and then we’d put the pieces back together. This became a theme song when a backhoe was getting delivered for repairs and the damn thing was so hammered it couldn’t leave the lowboy for a week. The driver had to back it into the shop and unhook.
Just discovered Corb Lund on a CBC feature a matter of just over an hour ago where he and his band automatically became my new favourite Canadian group, then RUclips consistently fed me three other artists I liked equally though those others were American, how often does that happen, excellent band, good humour, good lyrics, good music, good fun, love it!
He's been roundin' off bolts since the age of fourteen Was that a five eighths or a nine sixteenths? He's got a metric socket that don't quite fit Well it'll wiggle just a little but it ain't quite stripped The safety guard's gone from his grinding machine He got a stiff paint brush he only kinda got clean He's the hired man, my neighbor and a cousin in law He's a jerry riggin' fool, he got the tool for the job Well it's vise grips for pliers, and pliers for a wrench A wrench for a hammer, hammers everything else It just don't seem to make much difference I sure do like him but he's hard on equipment I sure like you son, but you're hard on equipment His corners ain't square and his floor ain't level And he's always had trouble with the old tape measure His doors don't close 'cause the jamb ain't plumb And he's a Goddamn menace with an air nail gun They love to see him comin' at the lumberyard store Fixed the leak in his roof with a two by four Drilled holes in his boards with the wrong kinda bit And when they don't line up he blames the government He got the whole front yard full of fix 'em up cars Three don't run and the rest won't start Everything's fine with his rebuilt motor Except of course for the couple spare parts left over Baler wire tie downs goin' down the road On two bald tires and an oversize load He ain't never read a manual 'cause that's like cheatin' He don't mind a little grease on his hands while he's eatin' He's got busted up knuckles, his thumb got bruised Jesus Christ was a carpenter, too
I can so relate. I worked for an old guy around Red Deer doing everything from installing metal roofing on quonset huts, to building calving sheds, to cleaning out cattle pens and spreading the shit in the fields. He wasn't so hard on equipment though. Still, this song brings back memories.
My in-laws are farmers. You perfectly describe my husband at times...but particularly his Uncles Bill and Nick...the maiden Uncles! Vehicles never work, Nick described building his ladder that broke on the first rung "Cause I only used one nail on the one side ya know." D'oh! I'm shocked those two are still alive,lol This tune is a favorite of mine and Hubby enjoys it too, but cringes because of how true it is😊
I couldn't stop laughing, virtually everyone who had taken things apart went through a stage like this. When all you have is a hammer, you should treat everything as if it was a nail.
"vise-grips for pliers, pliers for a wrench, wrench for a hammer, hammers everything else" Thats my brother right there. haha, Don't go near him when he has a hammer in his hand...
this is my dad. love him, but it went from me breaking things when I was young and him fixing it, to him having a hayday breaking stuff and now I get to fix it. lol
well i work out in the oil patch and i do my intire job with a hammer a cresent wrench niddle nose piler and a pipe wrench and i have fixed desiel generators using those tools mostly cuz im doing the fixing in 50 below
My old man, bless his heart, backed over my trailer tongue twice and blew the rear window out of his truck dropping a stump in with the loader. Sure do love 'm, but he's hard on equipment FR.

Billy Bob amen preach so tired of all this pop country crap that all sounds the same ... like shit
Billy Bob seen him solo just a month ago. He is awesome. Keeping country in country music
Exactly. Only a handful of artists can pull this off anymore. Jason and the Haymakers were like that.

Yes. yes. yes.
gefiltepaprika great tips
gefiltepaprika great advice, only you dont use a wrench for a nails lol
Mark Abbey every tool is a hammer ha
Tools to replace u-joints at the Hope Ranch; torch, socket in vicegrips, and a hammer.

oh no I'm well aware that it's about me
how are these guys not the biggest thing ever in country music
They will be.....Tell 10 people
because Corb Lund isn’t part of the corporate country hip hop crap you hear on the radio today. He’s taken his own path and paying his dues
it's because of politics man... Big record companies and such... Politics. :)
Cuz they don't suck dicks for airtime

Yeah I've met a few people like that.
Got a friend who nailed his kneecap to his leg bone ;-)
@@dlc1119 Just reading that hurts.
@@Rawdiswar at least he didn't nail his feet to the floor
Worked with a guy put 3nails to his nuts to a roof
Clinton Anderson how tf?!? Some people really amaze me with their ability to be stupid
I’m so glad Zip Ties and Bias Plies showed us these guys! One of my new favorites country groups!
If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks it needed to be replaced anyway!
Where's that damn 10mm socket?!
always the damned 10mm
Reminds me of a guy I worked with
I duck-taped my 10mm deep socket to a loop of parachute cord and locked it in the glove box. Now I always have it when the battery INEVITABLY needs the terminals cleaned of corrosion because Chevy...
Lmfao I laughed hard at this trying gear up my exhaust full of broken bolts 😂
This man is more country than most American country artists. Love it.

Yup. A.holes break it, we fix it.
Heavy equipment repair yard? Never heard of her. We got nam vets called wiggle wire and they know what they're doing 🍻
Wow that's funny not sure i know wiggle wire but I know that "zips in the wire is not a good thing unless they ain't a wigglin"

He's been roundin' off bolts since the age of fourteen
Was that a five eighths or a nine sixteenths?
He's got a metric socket that don't quite fit
Well it'll wiggle just a little but it ain't quite stripped
The safety guard's gone from his grinding machine
He got a stiff paint brush he only kinda got clean
He's the hired man, my neighbor and a cousin in law
He's a jerry riggin' fool, he got the tool for the job
Well it's vise grips for pliers, and pliers for a wrench
A wrench for a hammer, hammers everything else
It just don't seem to make much difference
I sure do like him but he's hard on equipment
I sure like you son, but you're hard on equipment
His corners ain't square and his floor ain't level
And he's always had trouble with the old tape measure
His doors don't close 'cause the jamb ain't plumb
And he's a Goddamn menace with an air nail gun
They love to see him comin' at the lumberyard store
Fixed the leak in his roof with a two by four
Drilled holes in his boards with the wrong kinda bit
And when they don't line up he blames the government
He got the whole front yard full of fix 'em up cars
Three don't run and the rest won't start
Everything's fine with his rebuilt motor
Except of course for the couple spare parts left over
Baler wire tie downs goin' down the road
On two bald tires and an oversize load
He ain't never read a manual 'cause that's like cheatin'
He don't mind a little grease on his hands while he's eatin'
He's got busted up knuckles, his thumb got bruised
Jesus Christ was a carpenter, too
Tried training the new kid at work on skid steer. After about 10 minutes his nickname was tool for the job. He quit shortly after.
Ya we can hear thanks.
@@hyssean12 you are most welcome 🙏
Corb,...if you ever read this.....thanks! Good to be Albertan and have someone fly the flag with such brilliant and reflective songs!
lol totally yup!!!
@@THEmaggspie Thx Patricia
Still after all these yrs this goes out to my brother Dusty!!
Alberta is still cattle country. Plus oil. A really frosty Texas.
Y'all stay warm. Let a Texas brother know how y'all are doing from time to time.
texas but tougher and without guns.
@@jackthomas1448 I'd assume there's at least a few short pump shotguns
@@jackthomas1448 plenty of guns
@@riggymsu sorry, “guns” meaning assault rifle.

13 yeats late, but glad I am here. This is genuine genius!
*years
In Australia he's huge! That's where I first heard of Corb--he sorta grows on ya.
Sounds just like my uncle back in Kansas at 92 still farming, keep up the great work Corb Lund, Semper Fi Oorah Carry On!!!
Vice grips are the ultimate plier! Corb's protagonist is a everyman.
I think we've all worked with this guy at one time or another.
Takes me back to the 5 dollar bill album! Love it!
thats amazing, really wsh we could take it all back for real .
Some great country music talent has come from Canada, including Ian Tyson, the Alberta Cowboy.
Ian Tyson, Hank Snow, Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray and many many others.
I like to think that the old man in this video is really the handiest handy man that corb knew and was able to talk into doing a video
Liked it as soon as I heard it. Real music for real people.
Love hearing this song!!! We all know people like this and it's sometimes us!!! Make do with what you got....
"Inside of every tool is a hammer."
Great song. I think I used to work with that guy.
You know who?
As a welder I have been this man when starting out, I've also met more than i should have lol
My in-laws are farmers. You perfectly describe my husband at times...but particularly his Uncles Bill and Nick...the maiden Uncles! Vehicles never work, Nick described building his ladder that broke on the first rung "Cause I only used one nail on the one side ya know." D'oh! I'm shocked those two are still alive,lol This tune is a favorite of mine and Hubby enjoys it too, but cringes because of how true it is😊
when I lonley and confused I listen to him
I think this song speaks for all of us Western Canadians.
This is the second song i heard you sing. I laughed and fell in love with your accent, Your something special Corb.
great song. this is real western music.
Not a big country music fan but Corb Lund is the greatest!
....this is way too funny ! summarizes my weekend around the house.....
I couldn't stop laughing, virtually everyone who had taken things apart went through a stage like this. When all you have is a hammer, you should treat everything as if it was a nail.
the key to great song story writing is always, details and common stuff
Good shit Corb.. I'm in Calgary.. yup typical Alberta song very much so.. I love all your music👍🤠🇨🇦
I like this song. I appreciate that the singer acknowledges the guy is a bit of a dumpling, but he's still a good pal. That's real.
I have listened to this song about 50 times now. I just realized he said "Metric socket."
I'd love to crack a joke here, but....... That's totally me.
I don't listen to this song enough. I forget about it to be honest, but it's brilliant. This whole record was.
Never heard a more fitting song.
I'm a farm mechanic on a farm owned by dudes.
"vise-grips for pliers, pliers for a wrench, wrench for a hammer, hammers everything else"
Thats my brother right there. haha, Don't go near him when he has a hammer in his hand...
So nice!!!! Just Very Great, Jean X MARTIN From France
Just love this stuff I feel bad I have not heard of this man
Who's here because of Zip Ties N Bias Plies?
right here😂
I grew up on a farm and I LOVE THIS! Gotta make do with what you have.
Corb is so clever!!! love this !
Hello odor
Corb Lund Speaks the truth I met him one hell of a guy!
i'm in australia and it's like he has been watching me this song describes me perfectly ....i would love to recreate 'The truck got stuck'....lol
Thats why I hate to loan my tools! Great song!
Yesssss! A Canadian friend sent me a link to this! You all are brilliant! Subscribed!
hello jessi, how are you ?
Vise grips, the glorious nut rounders.
Somehow I got here from Canadian prepper!! Glad I did!
That would be me - if they would let me have tools. Great song, great video!
this is my dad. love him, but it went from me breaking things when I was young and him fixing it, to him having a hayday breaking stuff and now I get to fix it. lol
Because people refuse to accept this legend exists
Love this song!!!!!!!!!!!
This song reminds me of myself when I was younger. lol
My husband walked in and went "is that song about my Dad?"
This is my bloody theme man
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
this guy is brilliant!
LMFAO this song makes me so happy lol Never thought Id find a song about me lol
completely describes my brother. Talk about somebody who is hard on equipment!
well i work out in the oil patch and i do my intire job with a hammer a cresent wrench niddle nose piler and a pipe wrench and i have fixed desiel generators using those tools mostly cuz im doing the fixing in 50 below
Sharing your video on my crap antiques channel today.
great song
Well done
Heh, this is how we like to do it
Good old Corb nails it every time
Manuals definitely cheating 😄
I bet Corb uses a hammer instead of a wrench.
Excellent 👌
LOve you Corb!
Perfect song, fitting of so many of my friends at times lol myself included.
How is this not the theme song for Canada's Worst Handyman yet?
you have the best songs ever
That Boy has been a farmer!
My old man, bless his heart, backed over my trailer tongue twice and blew the rear window out of his truck dropping a stump in with the loader. Sure do love 'm, but he's hard on equipment FR.
Loved seeing you in Meaford a few years ago.
I used to say i hate country, but now that ive found some modern artists that make actual country i cant really say that no more
Chainsaw through the plaster killed me😂😂😂😂
A do it yourself type. Scary LOL Excellent
This should be my father's theme song.
It's my husband too 😂
Old Country is the New Punk.
“When they don’t line up he blames the government....”. Miss you Gramps ❤️❤️
How am I only hearing this for the first time in 2020?
Thanks guys awesome apearance
this song is the exact description for my grandfather
We never call it a cutting torch, it's a "hot wrench"!
The bolt can't be on tight if it's a liquid.
I agree. Canadas worst handyman theme. I laughed so hard at the look on the guys face when he sawed through the acoustic at the end.
Let's be honest, we all know this guy.
Framin' with a chainsaw? This man's gotta be a quebeccer.
snipeefox might be a yooper Ya know
Hahaha probably🤣
Wow that's
Thats an old coment from 2013
I think Corb Lund is more likely Chineese than a Quebeccer
Quebeccers are wimps. Alberta all the way!!
finally, someone made a song about me ;-)
I think it's great and wwaayyy better than than country radio
Cutting holes in Jip rock with a husky ....ha ha ...Awesome dude .....
so cool
This song is a laff riot!
