Whiskey Myers - Ballad Of A Southern Man Lyrics

He reminds me a bit of 1980's Steve Earle and 1970's Ronnie Van Zant

Love this song...sounds like my dads family...

Annd there's a bible on the table cause He bleed for what we have . Those are the best lyrics

Has anybody saw the directors cut??? He blows the cops head off at the end....... epic

Yes I do understand and I’m a proud back woods ol TN boy.

someone who listens to this beautiful song in 2020

It's hard to explain your values about God and family without being discredited as a racist or bigot.
I wish God wasn't a poisonous term to liberals. All I want is to live by his word.

The only part of the us that was ever worth a damn

Nice video!! Luck films YouTube!

I promise never again to click on any Vevo vid of 'budding new talent'. If it's genuine talent it won't be on Vevo..

God 1st

Pro 2nd!

Well. how's that Virginia situation gonna play out? Hmm.

This is a true story for my family

Makes me proud to be born in the south! #SouthCarolina #Dixieland

Merry Christmas y'all ❤

I have recently discovered these guys and their music is just brilliant!

Listening in 2019 😁 great song

I know all the words to simple man, guess that’s something you don’t understand🤘🏼🤘🏼

My great grandmother and great-grandfather had northern businessmen come down for dinner. I guess my great-grandfather who was a general in every war back from the Spanish American War to WW2, so it must have been something to do with military business. Well my great grandmother prepared fried chicken for the dinner they would all eat! One Northern businessman said, “Well up north we use silver ware to eat, we don’t just pick it up with our hands.” My grandmother replied, “Well if y’all wouldn’t have stole all our possessions including a silverware after the civil war, we wouldn’t have had to come up with such a genius delicious idea

Are the lyrics
Grandma's in the kitchen
Pappa's done past on
Or
Papa's drunk past dawn???

Papas drunks past dawn

Marry Christmas !!!

This song hits home. I've got "I guess that's something you don't understand" tattooed on my inner bicep. No one will ever understand why I am the way I am. They simply didn't grow up or walk in my shoes.

Cop at end sound like Hank Hill . Lol

Its getting real in Virginia right now.

Doug Sizenbach I was just watching this all the way to the end and thinking the same thing...

Well is seems that 3.4 thousand people just don’t understand🤷🏼‍♂️

I still got Granpas 243 too.

ooof, this one bites.

I've been watching this video for years and still don't seem to understand why the police came to his house

man if this song dosent hit home you aren't a true american

God bless Dixie! ❤️

Its not about color
Its a way of life.love is all that matters in the end.............jonnb

Must be one of the best country/southern rock lyrics ever, and it is also quintessential rock'n roll music lyrics too. Classic stuff!

That dude in the house at the end means business, and gives me chills. Wonder if he was a Vietnam vet who'd had enough of the establishment.

I love this song it says every thing

I pledge my allegiance the original way too! We’ve definitely become to politically correct! Everything hurts folks feelings nowadays! Southern Music tells the way it is! I guess that’s something they don’t understand

Idk why I've never heard this song before damn.. And I love the guy at the end with the single barrel shotgun, you know some crazy shits about to go down lol..

Love the rebel flag cause it means a lot for me and for my folks here. My geat grandfather was an 18 years old Kaiserjeger who fought during WW1 agaist the italian invaders here in north Italy, among the alps, to protect his land, his culture, and his family, and while I listen to this song I can immagine him singing it. Long life to Welschtirol (South Tyrol) and to C.S.A., linked by a similar history, that still live inside our heart.

Dude hope to see you all at the national Richmond va

Wonderful!!!

Seen yall in Sioux Falls @ The District last night 11/14/19! Topped the list of concerts ive been to (mostly 90's rock artists). Yall should definitely go on tour with Colter Wall, Cody Jinks, Tyler Childers, and The Dead South. And call it The North meets South tour. It would be fucking amazing! I would personally try to make to every midwest show! Would be more, but as you said last night starting off as a welder blue collar community. Im a Refinery Tech and money can be tight.

Love it! Hit the nail right on brings back some happy and sad bitter sweet memories

Is bad when he shot a .243 win as a first caliber then there’s me shooting a .270 win as a first gun

All these so called "southerners" saying it doesn't matter what color you are make me sick.

Im not a Southerner, I love this song...but my first gun was a 22.

Sounds like good ol linard skinerd

Love this song, such truths and memories in the words to this song!

3.2k that disliked have an easy life and don't know the lifr we live and don't appreciate life at all

God bless Virginia

The South was the first victim of zog.....if only the French and British did the right thing and killed the beast before it was fully grown

Wow great song sir definitely added to my by the fire with the kids wife in friends drinking beer bbq playlist haha or just everything list well done sir

Reminds me of growing up in S.E. Texas. These boys grew up not to far from me, they're just younger.

IMO, my take on the homeowner and the two cops, this is about eminent domain. You see golfers on a golf course and a house bordering it, a general contractor or city engineer talking to the two cops, and the home in the background. I believe the government is taking the mans home and giving the property over to the golf course owners. This man is not going without a fight.


This is about the working man standing up against crony capitalism and corrupt government. I just saw a house eminent domained this year for the greater good of a two lane road that the city widened to a wider two lane road. I watched the house get bull dozed. Absolutely crazy.

This is about the cops trying to take his guns

R.I.P. Johnny Reb. To hell with the politically correct SJW's tearing down your monuments.

Come take my guns

This song hits hard my grandpa taught me how to shoot when I was 7 with a 243 and nothing has made me feel more free then some of the lessons he taught me

First rifle I shot was a single shot .243 in Lincolnton , NC with a buddy of mines father , very ironic haha

I like these guys music.
Who's with me?
🤓👍

God damn they’re pandering so hard it’s disgusting. Listen I’m Dixie and educated. When I hear this it sounds like you’ve used the idea that everyone who listens to you is from a blue collar family with blue collar offspring. If that’s the case, then fine. If not. We’re here and we get it. But don’t insult us.

I created a playlist called "Country Music that isn't borderline fascist" just for this song but then you started talking about flying the racist flag so I deleted the playlist and felt sad lol
The melody is great, the sentiment is great, but I would prefer if it didn't have the "wE sAy MeRrY cHrIsTmAs" nonsense lol

@OK you're welcome

@Darris Hawks Are you white? if so you are disgusting, shop being ashamed of your own identity.

The South....... last place for Libertarian Principles and that way of life.... love it

My first rifle was a .22

In the south we work. We don’t go to school we don’t have it made for us we aren’t born with a silver spoon in our hand. We work for it all. I’m making 13 an hour and about to be taking care of twins. But I know I can handle it because it’s called work. Work in life and work at work. Nothing comes easy but ig that’s something you don’t understand

My brother Lance would have loved this song, this one’s for you brother ❤️

I don’t get what the music video is about if someone can reply that would be great

I dont know which part of the song it is that you dont understand , its about standing up for family values the values that our pappys & papas worked & scraped & earned by the blood of their hands & defending it at all costs & refusing to allow any banker or corporation to step on your toes & take it all away from you because they think they own everything , i have a bible & i have blood on my table from my own hands right next to papa's blood , there is so much more to this song but really i fear its just something you wont understand

Brian Michener thanks man

Guess this song is something 3k dumbasses just dont understand!Who could hit the thumbsdown on these guys ever??!!

I’m northern and this song speaks volumes to me

Come to my house with my band 1501 w olmos 5511peca SA 78201

Last part was spooky.

It’s funny how i’m from nowhere near the south....but i can relate to everything this man sang....i guess deep down i have some southern charm in my blood...i just grew up in the wrong part of the country😂😂😂

And no black is gonna steal from me

I got so much southern pride when I listen to this song every hair on my body stands up and tears start rolling out of my eyes god bless the south something yankees don’t understand

This is a ballad for a midwestern man as well just a little bit different

So is this today's pop country or rock n roll?
IMPEACH TRUMP!

It warms my heart to see all these comments I just moved back to my home town in Georgia I've missed it since I left but im home now with mt wife and kids with all the bad shit going on in this country its nice to get back to small town America to raise my kids right with a gun in their hands and to fight for our rights! God bless country folk!!

Love this band but have to pretend this song doesn't exist.

Mine was a 12 gauge

Glad to see questioning authority in the mainstream...

I am from Central Pa aka Pennsyltucky, and this song resonates with me. I actually have letters from my ancestors during the civil war. There were small groups from PA that fought for the South. You drive from Eastern Tennessee up through Kentucky, WV, and into PA you would be hard pressed to tell the difference

First time hearing this song n I swear it's me in a song i thank the good lord I was born in the south,there's no better place in this world

I Hear Synyrd. I Hear President Trump.
South.

Not politically correct or historically accurate.. but I guess that's something you don't understand.

Dont hate the white, dont hate the black, if you get bitten simply hate the bite!

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ.COME AND TAKE THEM IF YOU CAN AS WE SAY IN GREECE.

I STILLFLY THAT SOUTHERN FLAG WHISTLING DIXIELAND ENOUGH TO BRAG!LOVE FROM GREECE TO Y'ALL CONFEDERATES!

Gotta keep the wolves away.
People are quick to give their freedoms to an idea.

I Dow understand were your coming from I was raised on a farm we grow ever ting and raiesd chickens ,cows and so on it was. a good life at the time I dent understand but now I am 52 and its all going. RIP mom pop DaD mis and love y'all Louissina 🐊

Listening to this for 7 years now and I am a southern man, and there is even more dislikes than ever by dumbass libtards that just dont understand!

...they don't understand.

Something the DEMONCRAPS will NEVER understand

I like this new version of Sheryl Crow's Are You Strong Enough To Be My Man!

New Mexico born. First rifle was a lever action 30/30, I dont too much like a lawman, my heart still lives in the Badlands, thats just something you don't understand..

Great song..Reminds me of my POP and Nanna in Miss. If you didn't live you just won't get it.I do.Thanks for a great song

The Skynyrd boys who have lost their lives over the years are crying tears of joy for this one brother. 🇺🇸 #foreverrebel

From a South Texas rebel, well done.

I still pledge my allegiance the original way.
San Francisco calls us terrorist but I call myself a patriot!

We called Bin Laden a terrorist, he called himself a patriot. It's all perspective.
