This song is so deep. From the opening line it is about the contradictory and confusing messages that shaped kids, particularly in the south,at that time. Uncle Remus,a fictional former slave, and Stonewall Jackson a defender of the confederacy, both were held in high esteem. And then he gave other examples of the upbringing that made him who he was . The dilemma he faced was that there was so much that he loved about his childhood that even though he rejected parts of it, the good parts still pulled at him. But, as the Thomas Wolfe reference implies, "you can't go home again ". So where does that leave a good old boy like him?

I couldn’t have said it better. As he talked about the influences throughout his life and he realized that he wanted to learn so much more about the world, but he still loved those that were never able to grow beyond their set ways. I still remember hearing Wolfman Jack on the radio. Sadly, not many remember that gravelly voiced DJ.

Everytime I hear this song it takes me right back to my childhood. We didn't have the smell of jasmine coming through the window screen, it was the smell of honeysuckle, the smells of spring and summer and fall. I can still remember all the elder men and my father laughing and talking out on the sleeping porch with the fragrance of jasmine and hummingbirds flying all around. I would sit silently just so I could hear the stories and not be sent away. I can't get those memories from my head, and all of those people, father included, are gone now. I used to have a little transistor radio and I would sneak it into bed with me and I could just tune in Wolfman Jack's radio show as it crackled beneath the sheets and I would have to keep one ear alert to the sounds of my mom and dad coming to check on us girls. I would have gotten in so much trouble if they had known I was still up. I had to share a bedroom with my three sisters. I lived out in the country. And this song simply takes me back there. The wind through the oaks and woods was such an amazing sound. I can still hear it all, smell it all, and feel it all. The song makes me miss my father so much. I cry when I hear this song because it takes me back to a beautiful place and time. And it's gone but still a part of me. What do you do with good ole boys, in my case girls, like me?

I remember laying in the backseat of the car late one night when I was about 7, listening to the words of this song. I started listening because I liked his voice. Momma was partying a lot, and it wasn't a good time for me. She had picked me up from the babysitters, and I was miserable. Him talking about choice made a huge impact on me. I started looking at adults I wanted to follow. 40 years later, it's amazing to me how many of the phrases take me back to childhood, & things I heard Grampa say. Boys were called "Little Man", often in connection with teaching them responsibility for family. He listened to Tennessee Williams & Hank Williams Senior records. My sister loved the Wolfman Jack radio show. Every Sunday at church we sang of being washed in the blood. My life took a very different path than it could have. I'm thousands of miles away in a very different culture from where I was raised. I relate to to her comments about visiting home & seeing folks that took a hard path. Like her comments, it was never about judgement for me, but it was sad to see some brilliant and wonderful people struggle due to poor choices. I listen to this to remind me of the good that there was, and things that were so common to me then, that I haven't heard in decades. Things like "winda (window) screen"

This song always reminds me of when I was aboutv9 years old, living in and old house with my mom and two of my brothers. The wind at night would whistle through the big elm tree right outside my bedroom window. And when the moon was full in the winter you'd have shadows dancing across the floor. Entire house was heated with a wood stove.... truly do miss those days.

In an interview, Don said that the song was written with the intention for him to record it. He didn't think he could do the song justice, but finally relented and said he would give it his best shot, and afterward, believed that it is one of the best songs he ever recorded. For me, it's my favorite song of all time...a musical novel. Hard to believe it only made it to number 2 on the Billboard charts when so many of his others reached number one.

I am a southern boy who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s. But I have a picture of him living in a small shotgun house with trees in the yard. The windows are up and you can hear the night sounds that I seldom hear now because I live in a city. However, many of us my age know people who grew up poor. His dad drank too much but he still loved his family. Basically he still thinks a lot about his childhood and in ways would like to go back. But he got out of there for his own good but the impact of his upbringing will never leave him. I think that’s true with all of us.

Don was the very first concert I ever went to, waaay back in '74 or '75. I was 9 or 10, & my (step) dad & I drove for a couple of hours in his old, beat-up white Ford Escort van, the smell of our dogs on the blanket I used to cover myself as the heating was broken, to a town on the south coast of England (Brighton) where he was playing. I grew up listening to his country 8 tracks when we went "on adventures" in his van or lorry (he drove long distance for work, well, as 'long distance' as you can go on a small island) with Johnny, Willie, Kris, Merle & so many others, keeping us company as we drove. Don was his favourite though, & we'd sing along at the top of our voices, so lost in the music & happiness of sharing special moments together, that the miles would fly by, & suddenly we'd arrive at our destination, hundreds of miles on the clock that seemed to have passed in minutes. 'I recall a Gypset Woman' was his favourite track, & 'Amanda', was mine; a few years later, when this song was released, it joined 'Amanda' as my favourite (although tbh, I think they're all my favourite, just depending on how I'm feeling at the time). That was a long time ago, but the memories we made, with Don as our singing companion, are as fresh today as if they were yesterday. His deep, resonant voice made everything sound beautiful, & I can still sing so many of his songs word for word. 'You're My Best Friend', 'Tulsa Time', 'Atta Way to Go', 'Lay Down Beside Me' & so, so many more, are perfect examples of how one doesn't need brash, slick lyrics or flashy, over-produced vocal gymnastics to make a perfect song, just a voice, warm as velvet, uncomplicated, sincere lyrics & simple, heartfelt delivery. The 'gentle Giant' was a master storyteller & a gentleman through & through, & he is greatly missed still. Such a great reaction, thank you so much, you never fail to brighten my days with your reactions. UK friendship & appreciation. Peace.

Being a girl growing up when this song first came out. In 1980 i was 18, and hearing this song and being a country girl at heart, even being raised in SoCal, I got so much from this song back then, and still do every time i hear it still. Like you Tasha. My roots come from the deep south. My dads family comes from Speedwell Tenn. I can remember clearly the trips we took to grandma and grandpa's home, and seeing people like you recall, sitting on their porches with water, tea or lemonaid and their radios playing while they relaxed after working all day, and how they would wave and say hello when you passed...life was so simple then, and most everyone was just so laid back....Its so sad that most kids today, dont get to experience this like we did....And T. you are so right, his voice is so soothing and relaxing to hear, It is so very wonderful that these songs survived all these years, and that they can still get the reaction from other people who hear them. Thank you fo sharing this song and for the memories it brought back.....HUGGS to you both, keep up the great old songs.....Marcy

This song has always had meaning for me, born in Indiana but transplanted to Texas at age 6. I'm a Texan through and through. . Small town background. I've always felt he was saying that no matter how long or how far away he goes, that small town, mayberry, country tradition is who he is and it's less and less compatible with our changing world. People arent as friendly or trusting as we perceive they used to be. Its more dangerous and less accepting of people from our older generations . I feel as he does. What do you do as just a good old boy who still lives by those wholesome values while the world slowly rejects them

This song was written to be so specific to the singer's formative years but it is relatable to a lot of people.

Hi there TNT I'm new guy here and just watched the video.. I also liked and subscribed.. Don Williams was huge in country at the time when this hit the radio waves..... His voice was undeniable in the lyrics and laid back style of his was unique.... I can testify also that I have played this song on My guitar sitting on the front porch here in Kentucky many many times.... Out of all the good country music that that come out in that time frame... Don Williams was undeniable....such a poet....so unique in his presence....and honest delivery.... I look forward to sitting on my porch with my guitar and watching more videos from you guys thanks a lot 🐺❤️

All of Don Williams songs are great with good meaning's or some with fun times. Fairly good interpretations on both of you. He was saying that with his ( youth - upbringing ) life from a boy to a man, he saw and made good or better life choices than many others ( not all others implied ), but many ( more and more people in the last 40 or so years) chose unwisely and there is less use for Good Ole Boys ( or Girls ) Like Him. Love your channel, Thanks

Don Williams, one of my two favorite male country artists of all time. This song was poetry, just like his reference to Thomas Wolfe.

There is a famous quote attributed to Stonewall Jackson, “you may be whatever you resolve to be.” The song turns around that theme with the conclusion, “ I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be.”

I saw Don in concert. I totally expected to sleep through it, but he was captivating. He had that "it" that drew you in.

Oh yeah, I grew up with Country Music. Pops loves it. Back in the late 70's through the mid 80's my mom fished in tournaments. We used to travel around the south and it was played everywhere. Don Williams is one of my favorites. Sadly, I missed him when he played up here a year or two before his death.

That brings me back to my youth. My grandmother owned a farm and I would spend much of my post baseball summers there. Don's voice is so smooth and mellow. Before I moved from Louisiana to Alaska, I met an old black man at church who lived near the property that we did back in his youth. We walked a few miles and talked about how that area used to be. We were looking at this old ruin in the woods when he stopped and started singing this song. I have a feeling this place held a special spot in his heart. Give I'm Just A Country Boy a listen sometime..

One of the best voices ever in country music. You should really listen to his song, why me lord. I think it’s one of the best songs of his.
