Who is listening in 2024. Where did OUR COUNTRY GO. GOD PLEASE HELP MY COUNTRY

I love this song, every time I listen to it I can't help but remember how much simpler and less hectic things were back when. This is America.

When you listen to this song, if you do not feel a tug at your heart and tears forming in your eyes, there is no hope for you. I am almost 73 years old. I have seen the best of times and the worst of times. God, bring back all those good times to all of your people.

Moe paints a picture with this song. Kids today will never understand what it's about. You just had to be there.

In rural America we still embrace our heritage with pride!!

Thank God that I lived in the USA when kids stll respected their elders and the flag! I feel bad for those who have no prospects for normal life as I did. VietNam taught me how much I love this life and this country even with all her troubles and problems America is still the best land on planet earth.

Consider this the 17th up vote. I clicked on the thumb but nothing happened. GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS ALL AND GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY!!

This is one of the best country singers there has ever been.

This past summer, I was driving a semi truck back east through New York state. And I went through a small town on the forth of July, As I breached a small hill I could see some of a community, A modern school off to the left, a ball field where people were playing ball, of several different games. Next near the road was a large community pick nick, Bar B que , lots people socializing. And across the street was a cemetery with some very old stones , very old, And that cemetery was not lacking for visitors that day. Flags flew every where. Family not forgetting family and friends. Going further into town ,I went down a truck route.Lined with Norman Rockwell style homes, trees, You could feel the homey community there, Picturesque as it could be. an older gentleman sprang from his lawn chair, An older man, tall, with a big broad smile waving at me like he'd seen an old friend. , A grin a mile wide on his face, He was wearing cap with a truck logo on it. I waved back, And his smile got even wider, if that was even possible. Then he waved with both arms high above his head., I guess I made his day, I could only surmise he was a retired trucker. Boy when I hear this song , Goose bumps jump up and I cry a river, Having grown up in a small town my self. This song really hit a cord. Knowing that the American spirit is like this nearly every where across this wonderful land we call America, Our Home of freedom. From what the news media beams at us every day, they paint a much different image of us. But that day I'll remember forever, Much thanks to that small town in New York. I love cross country driving. Unfortunately that was my last run. And I am really happy to have seen this beautiful GOD blessed country. It is what we make it.

I drive a truck for a living, so I see the parts of this country that still live this way. Its not to late, we just have to be willing to live within our means, and work for the things we want.

Love to all the good old days , there are still places in our U.S.A .🇺🇸🇺🇸 BUT MOST HAVE faded away , Let Us All Pray for these day to come back And Soon . God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸 And Our Families As Weil ❤️🥰😇🙏🙏🙏

I loved this song and I am a 2 tour Viet Nam,my youngest son of Iraqi Freedom, Father was Korea,my adapted Dad Corps of Engineers, Grand Father excaped the Bolshivecs and came to this great Republic.Many thanks for this post.

Glad I am old enough to remember when America was truly a great place. Just memories now and fading fast.

Thank you from that 13 yr old now 65 that you once called up on stage to play with you in that union hall. You taught me much and music makes the world go round.

God Bless the US of A. This is america at its best for sure.

I much prefer the country music of the 80's and 90's to the so-called "country music" of today. Back then, country music had heart. Today's country music doesn't even come close! This beautiful song by Moe Bandy just speaks to my heart. I grew up in a small town in the San Joaquin Valley in California. This part of California (the San Joaquin Valley) is very conservative, patriotic, and Christian, and we are proud of that. I have loved ones who served in the military, including my Dad, who passed away two years ago after a long battle with cancer, and is terribly missed. He was in the Navy during the Korean War. I can't understand for the life of me, how anybody can hate America. Like that line from the classic Merle Haggard song, "Fightin' Side Of Me" says, "If you don't love it, leave it!" Makes sense to me! Many of us do love this country, and we are not ashamed of that.

Great song! Not sure why so many thumbs down though....maybe those are the ppl hating on America currently. Makes me love this country even more! ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you Moe Bandy 👍 🇺🇸 And President Trump For Loving Us & America THE U.S.A. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 It’s All Bout Love 😘❤️👍 🇺🇸 Share The Love ❤️🇺🇸

We are still the best Damn country on Earth....Ooh rah!

We sure need this today. God bless America 🇺🇸

Mr. Bandy, I'm so glad you did keep "holding to the dream". I remember your Americana Theater and all your beautiful music.

Regardless of our problems, this song makes me proud to be an American!

Wish county music still sounded this good!

Just a great ol' patriotic country song about a great country!! I grew up listening to this music.

As the song says, "there is something about a small town in the summer" How true that is. You don't get that feeling when your in Chicago or Denver or New York City. It is a somewhat "magical" feeling that surrounds you. Love small town America. And Love this country.

A great song that should be sung every national holiday.

Great video, so glad you shared. God Bless America. America, let's not loose her! Moe Bandy did a super job here. When I was growing up we played softball almost every Sunday in the summers. I sure have some great memories of those early years.

This is one HELL of A country singer. I put him next to George Jones who was the best.

"There were old men on benches playing checkers, Children playing hopscotch on the square, And high above a statue, of an Unknown Soldier, Old Glory was waving in the air. Suddenly I realized what I'd too long forgotten, A chill rose up like mountains on my skin, Overcome with a feelin', I knew I was seein', America all over again." -Larry Alderman & Richard Fagan wrote it best and Moe sings it best. God bless all our troops, veterans and those who gave their lives for our country.

"There were old men on benches playing checkers, children playing hopscotch on the square, and high above a statue, of an Unknown Soldier, Old Glory was waving in the air." I lived in Lexington, North Carolina for three years; it is a great little town. Anyway, those lyrics always remind me of Lexington because in the square they had a statue of an Unknown Civil War Soldier and if I remember rightly on his buckle were the initials "CSA" not "USA". You gotta love this great country.

It breaks my heart to see what America has become.

A lot of great songs ,this one should be playing at every event ,

Man I miss songs and life as it was when this song was released.

I live in a small town in eastern Pennsylvania called Emmaus. Emmaus is exactly like the town depicted in this video! American flags are everywhere! Very friendly people and a beautiful town square (actually, it's a triangle!) I love this town and I love this country!!

Some men could borrow at the bank simply on their word, Moe's one of them.

I always think of my Dad RIP 🙏 he really believed in our Great Country and believed in the goodness of all people and loved America 🇺🇸😢

Driving across rural Minnesota, farmhouses with silos and cornfields, hay bales and golden wheat. God I love this country! Two days from now will be 23 years since I immigrated to this land of opportunity (July 18, 1996)

High above the statue of an unknown soldier... Beautiful lyric. Always makes me tear up.

Thank You Moe Bandy, This song Brings me back to the small town i grew up in. 5***** for the video.

Best country in the world. Love her or leave her...USA retired.

I just watched an interview with Moe Bandy that aired many years ago on Ralph Emery Live; saw it on RFDTV. I never knew, but Moe Bandy said that the song, (he didn't write it), was originally written from the perspective of a trucker who got off the road and made a detour through a small town. I've loved this song for many years, but only today learned that little tidbit about the song. God bless the USA, and God bless Trump. We need them BOTH back!

Great song! Sad but not much Americana left anymore.....damn, I really miss it.

Man I had this cassette when I was a kid, it was a very different time, I wish I could go back sometimes.

Needed this today.

Still one of the greatest singers of all time.

I used to listen to this song all the time on the tv... True country music i think the channel was called... after we moved, and my brother left the house, taking the tv, i stopped listening to this song for years... not by choice. I didn't know the name of the song, or the singer... one part, the chorus, was stuck in my head that whole time, and not even the whole chorus... americana... thats all i could remember. but when i looked it up, all I got was halsey.... then I heard the song on Iheart radio... it was damn good luck. i was so happy to hear it again. and now i know the name, and whos it by... i love that... so thank you iheart radio!!!!!

This song reminds me of the America that I grew up in . I worry about my children and grandchildren on what America has become . Thank God they live in a little small town on The Suwannee river in North Florida where those values still exist. I know there's a lot of Good people in this country that feel the same as I do. We have to get our America back we are losing it fast . God-bless America

Of all the songs that pertain to the good ole USA, this one is tops. This boy sings it with feeling. I know where he is coming from and know he has the same feelings as millions of us. God Bless the USA. Thanks MOE.

No matter what happens or what we will face. There will always be millions with the same spirit n love for the USA, just like what Moe Bandy says in this song. God Bless America

we saw Moe a couple years ago he put on a GREAT show!!

Came from a small mill town in Connecticut...this is it!!!

The land is still basically the same. Its the people that have changed.

Great song & great job of singing by Moe.

I do need to say one more thing. I live in a small town in eastern Pennsylvania called Emmaus. This town is just like the one in this video. Pennsylvania Dutch, people walking down the street hand-in-hand. Ol Glory wavin' in the air all over (especially on the Fourth of July!) It is located about 45 minutes north of Philadelphia. Very very nice!!

One of the greatest songs about the America I grew in.

Wow I'm a musician an I listen to all music that is touching with inspiration and this is what this songs brings to the heart mind and soul

God save this country! Good song!!!!

This song is an absolute work of art such an amazing song.

still this song means so much. thankful.

Moe Bandy, Mark Chestnut, Sammy Kershaw & Doug Stone are all very under-rated male country singers. Add Gene Watson to this list also.

HAPPY 4th To Our Americana And The Great Love We Shared Over The Loving Years With Each Other , Say A Prayer For A Blessed God Loving America 🇺🇸🇺🇸 THE U.S.A. ❤️😇🙏🙏🙏 Love To All Theresa &. Ronnie ,share some Love ❤️🇺🇸❤️

Wish I could have heard something like this in 1968!

A fabulous song -- a great anthem to the greatest country in the history of the world!

Oh for the Norman Rockwell days again.I'm English but first went to New York City back in te early 50's when in the Merchant Marine a great song for your great nation. God Bless You All.

God Bles the U.S.A !!! AWESOME song

Americana.. you're still what livin means to me. America is still safe n sound. Amen

First time hearing this song I love it. Thanks for sharing 👍.

So sad, it was an America I knew in the 1980's and there was a faint glimmer of hope.

Still loving him! As a kid and now I'm 54!

Heard this for the first time at work on the internet feed. :) Glad it's on the lineup for the time being.

Back when being a good old boy was enough! Great memories!

Clear back in the 1980s - the exact year I can't remember for certain - my wife and I had just moved to a small country town Snyder County in Pennsylvania. In the fall of that year we went for the first time to the annual Bean Soup Festival. It was that night we saw and heard for the first time Moe Bandy who sang a number of his hit songs. But when he sang "Americanna," I immediately fell in love, not only the song, but even more so with the lyrics which so eloquently expressed, and still do, of those small but common elements over time that have helped make, shape, and preserve all that is great about America. As Moe sang it, I can recall tears beginning to well up with the message it conveyed. Here it is 2018 - almost 30 years later - I am sitting here watching Moe's video, and my eyes once again well up with tears long after that night at the Bean Soup Festival and the countless times I have heard it since. Though my wife who has since passed away, she was and still would be moved by the true feelings expressed in these lyrics. I would hope that during these turbulent times that we may all stop and reflect upon all that is beautiful and great and what makes each of us "---people proud and free." Thanks so much for sharing this memorable Moe Bandy classic.

One of his best songs, thanks

This could be anywhere, but for some reason I've always pictured this as being in Iowa.

I love Moe Bandy!!! This is my husbands favorite song by Moe.I just purchased this cd...Love Till I'm too old to die young..also..!!! :)

Thank you SO MUCH for uploading that video!! That is one of my all-time favorite songs. I do remember living up in New York State right across the Hudson River from West Point. I took a drive through West Point one time and that song came on the radio. Just as I passed a statue of a soldier I did not recognize, Moe Bandy sang that line "And high above a statue of an unknown soldier. Ol' Glory was wavin' in the air." I am not kidding!

Great song! Great land! I live in the small city of Easton, PA and, in the center square, they always have a beautiful American flag flying. I love it!!

i saw this music video on american soldier channel here in korea in early 90's . a sea of US soldiers have stationed on the korean peninsular since korean war 1950. i know that a lot of US young men died for the peace for the not well known country. god speed your love to america cheers from korea

What a beautiful song and and amazing singer but what's left from this dream....

This song sure brings back memories! Seems like yesterday.

"Americana" is a masterful song of reassurance that our country is indeed still intact, at least at the grassroots where it matters. Great song, Moe, keep it up...we sure need guys like you, and of course, we need our God!

Here's another great singer that I missed in my younger days. This one and "Too Old to Die Young" are two of his best I think. Thanks for posting, I'll continue to enjoy this.

I recall seeing Moe and The Mavericks in San Antonio in the '70s before he made it to Nashville. He was just another local band as was George Strait also from the area.

Don't ever let no one tell you any different moe bandy and USA the best

Little-town America USA!! Thanks Moe!!

Great song. I think of better times and more pride in our country.

I wish it was still like that today God is still blessing us

I heard this song for the first time around 2012 and i love It. It brought back memories when i worked un a farm un east Texas back un 1983. I really miss that Mill Creek Farm! Those small towns near that place, Quitman, Mineola, Lindale, Big Sandy and others its names y cant recall. When i heard this song i remembered those days and i miss them so much. I am Mexican, and i worked there as an iligall alien But i love the United States because i know It Is a God chosen land and it breaks muy heart what It has became. All that hate and dividesefness( or however It Is spelled) I just hope someday América turns the way It uses to be.

A CITY ON A HILL, TRULY BLESSED BY GOD ❤❤❤

Moe music , Moe country ! God Bless America !

You appreciate this song after you have traveled all 48 states. Great song, thanks

I just listened to Americana, Moe we sure need that song now, that's a great song, I'm a former Bullrider at your Arena in Adkins. Timmy Langston.

RIP 9/11 victims. Our prayers and condolences go out to you and your families and friends 15 years later today and every day. 9/11/2016.

I love this song. Live in Canada. Been truckin through the good old usa since seventies. Great people. Met a lot of great friends. A lot of lifetime friends. Some are gone now. Take care America.

We are coming on the Fourth of July take time out to thank those who fought , and those who died for this GREAT NATION... and with all the tensions of World about us... take time out to thank yourself, cause as AMERICANS we are all part of this GREAT concept of American Idealism the right to be FREE and treated as Equals as we were meant to be as our CREATOR intended and Religion, Color and Creed was not intended as a divider but as strength to share ourselves and ideas with one another...

you know we holler about different things here but it,s still the best counrty there is ! compare the other countries to us and you will see we are still the best !

GREETINGS FROM THE WONDERFUL COUNTRY CALLED THE USA!! It is time for Republicans, Democrats and Independents to get together and to WORK TOGETHER towards a brighter future!! We are ALL ONE NATION UNDER GOD!! We ALL love this country. We just have different ideas of how to fix it and, being allowed to have these ideas (unlike countries like North Korea, etc) is what makes THIS country GREAT!! Let's put hatred behind us, PLEASE!!!!!! The American people are wonderful people!!

i love listening to this song, it helps people see that life is still good

holdin to a dream...make america great again

love this, so wonderful and beautiful, i love Moe Bandys music,
