I will swing my axe, don’t let the flames go down
Carve out some of that kindlin’
There’s plenty ‘a wood around (Chorus)

I’ve seen the Devil's shadow, underneath the moon
Keep that fire ‘a going
The Son/sun is coming soon

(Chorus)

When I’m old and gray, and these two hands are worn
Cross me over Jordan, Lord, and I’ll keep heaven warm

(Chorus)

[primphoenix]

Hey, I totally missed this one 7 yrs ago.... beautiful video-reminds me of living the mountains...hmmm, them mountains, damn I miss em!

[daledonnavaughan]

Been waiting for this for a long time someone to bring back the testicular fortitude to our music

[Fcrate]

This is awesome..
The line "cross me over Jordan lord, and I'll keep heaven warm" is one of the most low-key badass things I've ever heard.
Love from Egypt.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK TRUE SOUTHERN MUSIC!!!

[darrellr.bacon]

Kinda drums up some of the same opening feelings as " Highway Song"
by Blackfoot from so long ago. Great road tunes from when just crusin and hangin out were a national pastime for our much younger and less complicated selves. Great times back then.

[Insignificatos]

I can appreciate a Wood Shanty just like the next man.

[redjbrascia]

Thanks for the great tunes guys. We love you. God bless you. Jason "Rowdy" you're gone but not forgotten. See you on the other side.

[Drill-Baby-Drill]

[harrisonclay]

[christopherjamesjohnson]

I may be from the great north of Minnesota but this music resonates through and through the heart of America, God bless these boys

[brentarbogast]

.an.... I love the guitar, n beat to this Underrated.

[williebiggins]

God I'm so sad about Rowdy. I had him tagged as the Dimebag Darrel of country. I just found this band a couple months ago and they quickly became a favorite. For the band, friends, and family, my condolences to you all. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. A true loss to music and art.

[tommypersson]

BIG thank you, keep the flag high for the old school ... Hello from Sweden.

The Steel Woods. These were the tunes playing out of Hank's speakers in The song "The Ride, " by David Allen Coe.

[scottcassin]

Found this song and this band a few days ago via Spotify while on a long road trip. Very refreshing.
