Nah, you gotta come down to the south, out in the country, away from the big cities. We're still here. Having hoedowns, cookouts, and taking care of each other.
It will never, ever happen, sorry but this is a fool hardy idea. What would happen to the black national anthem then? I know….flush it down the toilet while mixin it with urine and feces!! I do appreciate and honor your southern pride, but your idea is foolish dreamin!!
I'm a son of the South, age 71. I love this song as some of my relatives experienced the hardships as shown in the video. They survived! Part of the greatest generation... nothing but pride in my heart for them.
There was a time in this country that Democrats and Republicans got along and only did what was best for this country. Both were proud to be American. I miss those days

I grew up in a Northern upper middle class family that looked down on people from the South with those accents . As I entered the working world , I got to know many of these Southerners that had migrated North to work the mills , refinerys , etc to make a better life for their families . I found these folks to be some of the most hard working , honest people that I've had the pleasure to meet . Funny thing is , now I feel I have more in common with them than my Yankee family .
I know it's sad that people who live a simple existence are looked down on. Most people think country folks are idiots. Not true. It's sad that we're all supposed to be sophisticated these days. It's impossible to just be ordinary without criticism.
Mine came from Northern Texas. But, he died in a bottle still F**** up from WW2. But, ☝🏼 Your kinfolks' story shows the potential of Americans/American Dream(s) 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Jesus Loves you Matthew 11:28 come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. As well as Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God (Jesus who died on the cross for our sins) is eternal life. As long as you put your faith and trust in Him.
I was born and raised in Alabama. I went off to college and now live in Denver CO. I often go back to visit my family. No matter where I go, my heart and home will always be in the south! Roll Tide
My grandfather use to tell me about the aftermath of the great depression. They were lucky though, because they never lost their farm and made enough to feed themselves. Also they came from germany after ww1 which was worse off than america.
My Grandpa used to tell me about these times. He grew up poor in rural West Virginia, used coal to heat up. Made one dollar per day, lucky to eat 2 meals, usually only one. A new pair of shoes was his best Christmas gift because he always got used/hand-me down, even then those were a blessing because no shoes/walking barefoot were common. Later on, after the war, he got a manufacturing job as a machinist and promoted to supervisor, on only a 8th grade education. Ended up owning his own home, a car and a truck, and was able to retire at a good age. He actually turned down a higher position with even more money, because he was content with what he had and rather spend time with his family and helping family/friends with home projects or making furniture (carpentry was his pastime).That's the American Dream.
Same for me dude you are really describe real man but for me my grandfather was a woodcutting during 1940s provence of quebec in small village and he gain herblife by working and now he is to retread and l live same a real men for his family .

My host family didn't know any English, but they liked the upbeat tune too. Somewhere, in Shanghai, there's a Chinese guy with a burned disc of old country music hidden away somewhere, listening to it where the Chinese government can't find it.

RIP Jeff Cook.. I remember the first time I heard Alabama as a kid living up north. My uncle from Florida was up visiting and played them for me, I was like 8... man, they just grabbed ya..real music
True story I was at A place where this lady was playing pandora and I asked her if she could play SONG OF THE SOUTH true story the first words that came out of her mouth was "there's no swearing in this song is there?" Right then &there I was thinking to myself have ever heard of A band called ALABAMA
Been living overseas for the past 5 years. This came up in my recommended. Grew up in East TN. Brought more than a damn tear to my eye. Hope southern culture never goes away. I feel like it will though :(
If the people here in Kentucky have any say our culture isn't going anywhere. And hey man, don't ya worry about a thing, we will be keeping the home fires burning until you return home to us🙏
Our southern heritage will never end. Just think about Star Trek 200 years in the future with them saying 'Y'all' while giving orders. A world without end.
Same here. It is especially precious seeing the visuals, they bring back memories. I know these people, grew up seeing happy faces in faded clothes and cares worn too early on other faces, but love and dignity all the same. Grew up in eastern NC tobacco country and moved to the city for office work. Feels like they could have been describing the 90s and 2000s for us. The fields are being bought up to put houses on, no more "October snow" in the roadside as they haul the cotton off. Very thankful to have grown up there. The culture won't go away if we don't let it. This and Dixieland Delight are some of the best representations of it. A couple years back, the ending made me look up the song Dixie, and the commentary from around the world was very encouraging. It isn't just Southern, it's regular people, and they're all over the world. Not the poor choices or the ugliness that still alloys our history, of course, but real people -- that resonates.
Just moved back to my families 162 acre farm, got the keys to my new home today. My dad worked that farm hard, he was a rail road man and worked hard all his life. He passed at 56 in 2009 from cancer, my mom left because she was depressed and didn’t want to be out there alone and it fell into disrepair, well I just retired from the army and I’m back. Couple old farmers seen me and said “are you Gary’s boy?” I said yes sir and I’m home to bring it back. Playing this song because I’m home
Thank you on behalf of my fellow Southerners. We are often insulted and generally hated by many in the other areas of the USA, but we still have the rebel spirit and pride in our culture and heritage. Long live Dixieland!
This song makes me proud to be a southerner, and makes me feel comfortable with my accent, and slang in my vocabulary. The south will always be in my blood, and arkansas will forever be my home.
Hell I'm from Kansas (so obviously not Southern) and I love this song. My grandparents grew up in the Great Depression here and it was brutal for them. My grandpa's family lost their farm and had to move to the city and he started working at 11 years old driving a milk truck to help support the family. Hearing stuff like this makes me think of how tough you had to be back then just to make it through that time.
There is confusion over this song, and the 1956 Disney Movie "Song of the South" which Disney has been buying up old copies, since the movie's context hasn't aged well. While innocent for it's time, it does white wash over the troubles during the reconstruction and indirectly sells the narrative that slavery wasn't really that bad.

People from this era were really tough. I remember my grandfather talking about how difficult it was but he said they did what they needed to do to survive. We don't realize how easy we have it.

I remember being a kid standing in the front seat of my grandma's car singing this song to the "top of my little lungs" as she would say.... damn I miss her!!😢
This song is truly amazing, hence touching my heart. Although being from Canada growing corn, the mindset is the same: Bless America and those who are free
CEOkiller Yea well if the south had never declared civil war (Aka "the souths war for the right to own slaves" ) there never would have been any problem, so the south can blame the south for its own problems. If you bomb the world trade center we're coming after you, and if try to enslave an entire race on our nations soil we will fuck you up. Go Sherman, get em! ayayayayayayayayayayayayayyayaya attack!
***** I don't hate it! Thats the point! It doesn't matter what side of a country live on. It the most arbitrary thing in the world, but a certain patch of southern people seem to think its the most important thing in the world. Nobody in the north and sane southerns don't care.
I am not an American. I am unfamiliar with country music. So I decided to check this song out. But seems like this type of music relates specifically to Americans. But the calm soothing mood of the song is nice. Will listen again
My dad was born in Alabama and my mom was born in Kentucky. I was born in Indiana so I grew up until I was 9 until we moved to North Carolina. Talk about a mind f**k😂
As a Russian who was partially raised in America, this song is amazing. I used to have two dachas in the southern Russia. And the southern folks seemed to have the same mentality as I do. I always loved the south for their culture and spirit to survive

Americans have persevered through incredibly hard times. Conservative or liberal, if we come together, there is no force on earth that can stop us! This virus is a speed bump. Better times are ahead. Don’t let the media divide us.

I'm part Hispanic and live in Florida and a lot of Hispanics love country music and are just as country as any person I know. Especially around the Jacksonville area. My whole family is country white and hispanic sides!
Hearing this song always increases my Southern pride. The first verse is very much like the stories I heard from my grandparents who grew up in the South before and during the Great Depression. My maternal side was in southern Louisiana and paternal was in southern Mississippi. Fortunately none of them saw the Dust Bowl reach them since at least a couple of my great grandfathers made living in farming.
Neighbor to the north 🇨🇦 grew up listening to alabama at grandma's house this song and many others are great music and memories ..wish it could fix our country
You didn't have to be from the south to have went thru hardships, it was everywhere, as the man said 'we Americans, we suffered a lot of hardships", I'm glad that this band put it into words==still the "Greatest Country Band" ever

This was when America was the world I wish my daughter was raised around. Wholesome people and and understanding of simplicity! Now we’re so worried about gender and others opinions and feelings that we have lost the principles of what we were raised on. This is a lost nation and it breaks my heart.
This is REAL country! Used to rock out to this when I was a kid. Driving through the woods, pop an Alabama cassette in, pop open a can of Copenhagen, and it just couldn't get any better.
Need more groups like Alabama. Great Music. Great Songs.
They'll never be another Alabama. We just have to enjoy them while there still around

Welcome on board.
So proud to have you here!! God bless you!!❤❤❤
Hell yeah, brother!
I grew up in the north and this was engraved in my memory. I miss everything from then. I miss you AMERICA
Come home then
Not country, but also a great band.
And Alabama. Still sticking to our beliefs.
I'm a black man and I love the song if you can't understand the meaning behind the song you don't need to be American.
John Reed iam a white man and i do know the meaning behind the song so in my head it can go both ways peace no body should be racist theres no reason for it peace
I'm white and I like this song
John Reed that doesn’t mean racism doesn’t still exist.... I’m named after Robert E. Lee.... it’s 2018....
jon timmermann who you fooling you were named after your perents😀
God bless America!!!!
I'm proud to be from the south and the state of Tennessee. I feel lucky to have grown up in the south and I love my southern people.
My teacher was from Tennessee I don’t know where but she said she was from there
Too bad Tennessee is a red state

Good for you! I love it!
I’m Hispanic too, I’m can’t stop listening to this song
RIP Jeff Cook.. I remember the first time I heard Alabama as a kid living up north. My uncle from Florida was up visiting and played them for me, I was like 8... man, they just grabbed ya..real music
My cousin was married to him at a point in time
Unless you live here, you'll never understand how awesome the South is. North Carolina born, raised, and proud.
I don't live in the South... but I wish I did :)
Ditto, born up north, lived down South for over a decade. No comparison, the South and Southern folk win by a long shot.
Same, I love the south, North Carolina.
Good to see another NC born and raised country boy!
Absolutely man. Will never be ashamed
The south will indeed rise again, sooner than later it seems. Makes me happy.
Proud of my Southern Heritage. Not ashamed in the least.
Do you know what the song is about?
Ashamed??
You shouldn't be! Proud Southerners!
@@audreyann1975 Damn straight!
You and your 8 teeth should be super proud. Lmao
I am 47...i still love alabama
Ain't nothin better than some good alabama, hank sr and jr and George straight. That's what country is!
I know but that's not the case anymore.
HELL YEAH
Amen Brother!
True story I was at A place where this lady was playing pandora and I asked her if she could play SONG OF THE SOUTH true story the first words that came out of her mouth was "there's no swearing in this song is there?"
Right then &there I was thinking to myself have ever heard of A band called ALABAMA
tyler childers
god bless the south.
yes sir
Been living overseas for the past 5 years. This came up in my recommended. Grew up in East TN. Brought more than a damn tear to my eye. Hope southern culture never goes away. I feel like it will though :(
Never my friend!
If the people here in Kentucky have any say our culture isn't going anywhere. And hey man, don't ya worry about a thing, we will be keeping the home fires burning until you return home to us🙏
Our southern heritage will never end. Just think about Star Trek 200 years in the future with them saying 'Y'all' while giving orders. A world without end.
@@JimmyBobbyJR remember the stories. Tell them to your children and grandchildren. Then they can say they were there too.
Same here. It is especially precious seeing the visuals, they bring back memories. I know these people, grew up seeing happy faces in faded clothes and cares worn too early on other faces, but love and dignity all the same. Grew up in eastern NC tobacco country and moved to the city for office work. Feels like they could have been describing the 90s and 2000s for us. The fields are being bought up to put houses on, no more "October snow" in the roadside as they haul the cotton off. Very thankful to have grown up there. The culture won't go away if we don't let it. This and Dixieland Delight are some of the best representations of it. A couple years back, the ending made me look up the song Dixie, and the commentary from around the world was very encouraging. It isn't just Southern, it's regular people, and they're all over the world. Not the poor choices or the ugliness that still alloys our history, of course, but real people -- that resonates.
Just moved back to my families 162 acre farm, got the keys to my new home today. My dad worked that farm hard, he was a rail road man and worked hard all his life. He passed at 56 in 2009 from cancer, my mom left because she was depressed and didn’t want to be out there alone and it fell into disrepair, well I just retired from the army and I’m back. Couple old farmers seen me and said “are you Gary’s boy?” I said yes sir and I’m home to bring it back. Playing this song because I’m home
Bless you. Can't wait to move back to my place.
You can never step in the same river twice. Still, there are things that are worth preserving. May your efforts yield bountiful fruit.
Hell yeah, brother!
God bless you brother!!!!!!
"Southerners" should never give up their pride and identity! THEY ARE THE REAL AMERICANS! Greetings from Hungary! ☝️✝️🇭🇺🙏💪👍❤
You don’t know the first thing about America. The South almost destroyed our country.
@@flavortown289and we'll do it again too muahaha!
@@mmeeehhh Nah, you missed your chance.
Thank you on behalf of my fellow Southerners. We are often insulted and generally hated by many in the other areas of the USA, but we still have the rebel spirit and pride in our culture and heritage. Long live Dixieland!
@@flavortown289Not destroyed, only downsized by 13 states. The USA would have continued with the CSA as your neighbor. 😊
I think what I love about some of the Alabama songs is that they tell a story about real life. They take you back in time. There is an actual message.
That's so true
Hello how are you doing
Alabama was ahead of their time
Well, incest makes the princess
@@perryism7370 haha South bad
And still is
Do you mean the song is bad or the south is bad
@@donovancox1975 neither
The footage from the dustbowl is stirring, we forget those hard times and the hearty people who endured them...
This song makes me proud to be a southerner, and makes me feel comfortable with my accent, and slang in my vocabulary.
The south will always be in my blood, and arkansas will forever be my home.
Hell I'm from Kansas (so obviously not Southern) and I love this song. My grandparents grew up in the Great Depression here and it was brutal for them. My grandpa's family lost their farm and had to move to the city and he started working at 11 years old driving a milk truck to help support the family. Hearing stuff like this makes me think of how tough you had to be back then just to make it through that time.
I’m Canadian but always have wanted to go to the south and I have a great admiration for your sense of pride! Love from Canada 🇺🇸🇨🇦
North Florida is my home... Love the south..and proud to be a southern girl!
yeee haaaa
Have fun with that. I'll keep my fir tree forests, white topped mountains, and sane people.
This isn't racism, this is beautiful and pure country magic.
This song isn't racist, it about lifes struggles and hard working people. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴✝️.
There is confusion over this song, and the 1956 Disney Movie "Song of the South" which Disney has been buying up old copies, since the movie's context hasn't aged well. While innocent for it's time, it does white wash over the troubles during the reconstruction and indirectly sells the narrative that slavery wasn't really that bad.

@@tylerhodges11 are you serious?
People from this era were really tough. I remember my grandfather talking about how difficult it was but he said they did what they needed to do to survive. We don't realize how easy we have it.
So true
Soft people make hard times, hard times make tough people
We have it way to easy now
Hello 👋. how are you doing..?
I’m Canadian but you know what I can appreciate the southern states. People point to racism and the confederacy but you know what today and 40 years ago the south truly was what America represented. God bless you fine folks
Awesome song. Got hooked on Alabama back in -84 when I was an exchange student in Montana. Love from Sweden!

Good song
I remember being a kid standing in the front seat of my grandma's car singing this song to the "top of my little lungs" as she would say.... damn I miss her!!😢
i cant relate enough to the last 3 words of this comment. I miss my grandma too
Beautiful memory! Grandma be proud of you remembering "Song of the South"✨
This song is truly amazing, hence touching my heart. Although being from Canada growing corn, the mindset is the same: Bless America and those who are free
Happy early birthday
Thank you so much from the states 🙏
I've had the privilege of visiting Canada with my family back in the 90's. I loved it, I felt at home. God Bless you and Canada.
God bless you and your amazing country!!
Love how it shows that the south allways finds a way to get by and get through problems
Southern strong!
Hell, we needed to! The South did not recover from the States' War (aka War of Northern Aggression) until at least the 1940's...
CEOkiller Amen, brother!
CEOkiller Yea well if the south had never declared civil war (Aka "the souths war for the right to own slaves" ) there never would have been any problem, so the south can blame the south for its own problems. If you bomb the world trade center we're coming after you, and if try to enslave an entire race on our nations soil we will fuck you up. Go Sherman, get em! ayayayayayayayayayayayayayyayaya attack!
***** I don't hate it! Thats the point! It doesn't matter what side of a country live on. It the most arbitrary thing in the world, but a certain patch of southern people seem to think its the most important thing in the world. Nobody in the north and sane southerns don't care.
That opening message with the song coming in gives me chills every time
Amen. If that doesn't make you wanna pull yourself up by the bootstraps, nothing will
IM PROUD TO BE A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN IN WYOMING WHO LOVES " ALL THINGS SOUTHERN!!!!!"

I am not an American. I am unfamiliar with country music. So I decided to check this song out. But seems like this type of music relates specifically to Americans. But the calm soothing mood of the song is nice. Will listen again
Gokul Kumar this is classic country go listen to Florida Georgia line for modern country
Gokul Kumar Florida georgia line is not country. It's pop.
Who else is proud to be an American
I am

As a 4th generation Southerner, I went up north to study.Differant world.Damn It was so damn good to get back to my people again. Southern ideals man.
Them yanks are like a pissed off rattler.
My dad was born in Alabama and my mom was born in Kentucky. I was born in Indiana so I grew up until I was 9 until we moved to North Carolina. Talk about a mind f**k😂
As a Russian who was partially raised in America, this song is amazing. I used to have two dachas in the southern Russia. And the southern folks seemed to have the same mentality as I do. I always loved the south for their culture and spirit to survive
I will never forget where i came from. A southern blood runs through my viens.

Hearing this song always increases my Southern pride. The first verse is very much like the stories I heard from my grandparents who grew up in the South before and during the Great Depression. My maternal side was in southern Louisiana and paternal was in southern Mississippi. Fortunately none of them saw the Dust Bowl reach them since at least a couple of my great grandfathers made living in farming.
This song needs to stay alive
After you listen to it you feel really good and eternally clean
Hello 👋. how are you doing..?
Neighbor to the north 🇨🇦 grew up listening to alabama at grandma's house this song and many others are great music and memories ..wish it could fix our country
You didn't have to be from the south to have went thru hardships, it was everywhere, as the man said 'we Americans, we suffered a lot of hardships", I'm glad that this band put it into words==still the "Greatest Country Band" ever

This song is a perfect and complete illustration of the American South.

This is REAL country! Used to rock out to this when I was a kid. Driving through the woods, pop an Alabama cassette in, pop open a can of Copenhagen, and it just couldn't get any better.
You rocked out to country music? I thought you could only rock out to rap? Or rock out to rock? Or classical? Music is music enjoy!
