Country folks are all across the land, we come in every race and skin tone, we are taught to live off the land, hunt, fish, grow your own food and the city people call us names and look down on us as if we are less than them, they live in big cities where everything is brought to them, when the stores have no food, banks have no money, these people will not know what to do. That's what this song is all about. Those that know how to live off the land will survive.

[@rycn1450]

Thumbs up from wv

[@josepharnold1345]

That’s really the divide in this country, rural vs urban. Amazing how effective identity politics has been getting people to focus on something as simple as skin color and calling that culture.

I moved to TN from Chicago and I married me a country boy. Still my husband 35 years later and my best friend. Could not ask for a better man. He grew up in the country and fishes and we have a huge garden. We are making homemade tomato juice tomorrow along with some delicious homemade salsa. We can green beans and more. Never thought my life would end up like this but I am sure glad it did.

In an old interview, he said that the friend's story is a true story.

[@ryanjustice2670]

I always wondered about that. I didn't know if he was using artistic license or if it was based on real life experience. I should have known.

[@thefleasofathousandcamels6498]

Not just a song...an ANTHEM!

Guitar says "Bocephus". It was a nickname given to him by his father who was a legendary country music star.🥰

[@yogidemis8513]

The Hanks are legends, Hank 3 looks so much like Hank Sr. The world needs more Hanks..

[@michelleedler3414]

I always loved that he included us in Northern California. People forget that us in Central Valley and Northern California are country folk. I live in a town surrounded by orchards, rodeos, cattle, and fields. We don't even have a grocery store and I raise chickens which is pretty normal in town ☺️

[@imweakfordeaky]

There are “country folks” all over this land, yes - and as an Ohioan, I’m also glad he included North California. “… and little towns all around this land” - basically anywhere outside the sphere of the big cities ! I live less than a 30 minute drive outside of Cincinnati, and while my town has grown a lot, we still have many “cornfields and cows” farms, and lots of woodlands for deer hunting, rivers and lakes for fishing. I have much more in common with “country folks” than I do with “in-the-city folks” - and hope to move even further out to a more-rural area in the future.

[@sr71ablackbird]

no shame in raising chickens. one of the neighbors used to do that out by where i used to live at. those roosters can get pretty damned mean though. there was one that when one would feed it. it would fly up and over the fence and went chasing after folks at times.

[@JHargis68]

Hank Jr. is a true country boy and outdoorsman. He fell off a mountain in Montana in 1975 while he was doing some scouting for a bighorn sheep hunt. "A Country Boy Can Survive" has been ingrained as part of the soundtrack of my and so many other lives for four decades plus now.

[@rogercaldwell2440]

Hank Jr is a real one!! Thanks for reacting to this song bro. Much love from Texas ✌️

[@Harleyrider1976]

Much love from West Virginia!

[@christophergraham3160]

The guitar says 'Bocephus', one of his nicknames. And speaking of surviving, he fell 500 feet while climbing Ajax Peak in Montana. Ripped most of his face off and was blinded in one eye, and lived to tell the tale. That's why he always has a beard and those dark sunglasses, hides the scars. One of my favorite Country/Southern Rock artists.

[@deanharris7149]

Thanks for being respectful. Hank jr. is royalty.

[@SlyTyler97]

Ole Hank is a giant in country music he’s a legend

[@christianleatherman7532]

Country folks can survive! My family lives off the land for the most part. If things was to go south with this world we would survive. Some of us know how to grow, others fish and hunt and some of us know how to use herbs for medicinal purposes and how to find water. My daddy always said if shit goes south I want y'all to be the ones to prosper.

[@debbers]

His guitar says; Bocephus, which is his nickname in Nashville! Yes, I'm a country girl, I will survive too! I can my own food and that includes venison, canned venison is the best! You can eat it straight from the jar! It melts in your mouth! Fresh caught perch are the best and I don't mind cleaning them either, my husband doesn't mind letting me! Ha!Ha!Ha! He's originally from the city and he doesn't do it right so I'd rather do it and be safe! Great reaction to Hank!

[@theidajawho]

Bet you would know who sang the NFL Monday Night Football Theme now. "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" is a must, also "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)".

[@robinkent7378]

This song was written at a time when we were reeling from all time high crime and the big recession if the '70's. Very reflective of the times. Seems appropriate for today, too.

[@manymusings]

Us country folk can most definitely survive! Love it! ❤️

[@laquehaven4392]

This is what country folks call outlaw country. This song is the epitome of my oldest brother and this is the one song I'm having played when he passes.

[@rodbartlome2191]

Hey brother, I'm a country boy from Idaho. This song has so much meaning for me. When I was in the military, my friends were from inner citys. And I ended up in an inner city...a few actually. But this was always my anthem. I have turned many brothers to Hank Jr. Just as they have turned me to a lot of their music. I am still today a huge jazz and blues fan. And while you were feeling this song, your head bounce was exactly what mine was. Thank you for bringing an alternative to your fans. I'm not even a country fan. But just someone from a small town in idaho who loves all music...I just happen to be a metal head.

[@jewls9697]

You should try Hank Williams Jr....The Coalition & The Ballad of Hank Williams (Hank Williams Jr's dad!) Jr sings it about his dad. The Coalition is funny, but true!!! I love ❤️ Hank Jr. His dad died when 3 & at the height of his career. Jr. learned a lot about his daddy. Oh course all those good old country boys took Jr under their wing & filled him full of knowledge about his dad! Almost every country artist has wrote a song about him or a reference about him. Died at 29, but will be known as the King of Country forever!! 👑🎶❤️

His father, Hank Williams Sr., lived hard and died too young for his son to get to know him. He inherited his dad's talent - this song is as relevant now as when it was recorded.

[@chinchbug]

Hank Williams (Jr's daddy) was one of the greatest song writer in country music. JR now only does things that interest him so his albums can be a bit inconsistent but there's always at least one gem on them.

[@monicag75]

I thank God for my country roots. As I’m watching this my husband is out on our land hunting and I pulled 2quarts of green beans, I grew and then canned, out of my root cellar for Thanksgiving dinner. I look out my window and see my chickens and ducks running around. Goats in the pasture and the sound of my grands running and playing🫶🏼

Hilarious thing about this video is listening to the words of the song while he’s sitting there with thousands in rings, boots, a hat and a pair of Gucci sunglasses on

[@avedementia7273]

So its funny because he's singing the virtues of self-sufficiency...hyperbole but if you had no bills, food costs, etc....but had a job as well.....maybe you would use a bit of that disposable currency on fashion?

[@joanna400]

He's not wrong. I learned so much growing up in the country it's not even explainable in a comment. We made our own sugar and honey, and our own jellies and jams with it. Fishing, hunting, farming, survival... Country folks know what I mean.

When everything crashes, we don't know no different. We live off the land, not having money. Don't mean a thing to us. No matter what, us country folks will find a way to survive. When I was 12, I would take a sleeping bag, a fishing pole, a 22lr and a fire starter. Up in the hills around our house and be gone for a week. Just living off the land. Didn't matter where I went my dad and uncles would track and find me. My dad would come up and check on me every day. I sure do miss those carefree days of my summer childhood. It's just a way of life around here. It's sad but I would never let my sons do that when they were that age. 50 years ago, was just a much different time.

I have been a city girl, country girl working on the farm and island girl, have lived all sides. Those that live in the cities depend on the rural blue collar workers for everything yet still somehow believe they are superior. They usually own nothing and dress and live to pretend, the bank owns their whole life. Stop judging others and realize we are all important to the circle of life. Show appreciation. Complement and thank those who are doing the jobs you don't want to do. If you work in corporate America stop looking at a piece of paper with numbers on it and think you know what is happening in your own company. Respect the people on the front line, the cashiers, warehouse, drivers, etc. who are the real face of your company. If you ever gave time to hear from the frontline you would probably improve your bottom line. When the company does well reach back and give to your front lines, stop stealing the profits, ruining the company and then leaving, all for yourself. As God said, money is necessary, it is an exchange but the love of money is evil.

Never underestimate "Redneck Engineering." If you google that phrase, it will take you down a rabbit hole that you might not come back from. I love that the government is worried about ghost guns. Hell when I was a kid, we made firecrackers with balloons and Oxyacetylene Torches (used for burning/cutting steel). We made HHO (again google it) firecrackers that would break windows. I learned to fish by age 5, and hunt by age 7. My first gun was a 30-06, I got for Christmas when I turned 10. When school was out, I worked on my grand-father's farm. God, I miss those days.
