Anderson, John - They Spent Forever Lyrics

A Country Legend

I'm proud of your Seminole culture.....I love all native American culture.....

JOHN ANDERSON IS A MAN THAT SPEAKS THE TRUTH! GREAT VOICE

This song would not sound the same if someone else dang it,it just fits John

This song is a prayer. It even calls upon the personal Name of Yahweh.

Why not upload in HD

Had a horse farm in Astor,FL. Lost it and many good friends. Miss you Bonnie and Fred. Bless the Boyz in the Woods, Chapter 23!!

This song is nothin but the truth

One of my all time favorites.

not a country music fan, but I LOVE THIS SONG

Seems like most of the folks commenting on this video are half something or other(I guess from the waist down.. or up?). And the "bad half" seems to be Irish.
Dafuq is up with that?

It would have been better if America had been discovered by the Europeans 600 years later.

This song is perfectly put together.

The majority of people here in the land of the Seminole wander lost, and never see the beauty of this land right in front of them. Put down your phones, get off of the computer, get away from the cities and the people who continually destroy this land I call home. Get out and explore, and love the land we borrow.

When I listen close I can still here the ghost of my assyhola cry.

Way back in the days of oll, I ate a chili 🌶 bowl. Left my stomach turning, turning up stinky 💨

Blow blow anal hole wind blow like your never going to blow again, I here u screeching at me gagging all of my friends.

The last time I walk into the swamp, I splattered shit on a cypress stomp,
I dropped a loof where the odders play long grass grows and the saw grass sway.

It's not jus country. It's southern

nothing but a living legend.......

Victoria ur comment touch me. My pops loves this song

John Anderson invented autotune and drones. "G" SHIT!!!

Listen to Shea Beautifull version Beautifull Lady Native American

Beautiful tribute to the SEMONILES

I met John Anderson when I was six years old out of a little place called Eureka Florida this was in Florida off the Ocklawaha River he was sitting on a bench and sing by the river he burnt Sage for his dead friend as well that died on the river ... what a wonderful guy he gave grandma a CD he said don't copy it. And we never did ... we kept it forever

Love this song. I live in Florida, but didn't see any Indians, unfortunately.

My name is randy my wifes name is on there but i go to my garage everynight and sing all ur songs

He is my hero he got me to start singing at 12 years old i can sing this song and his other songs i sound just like him thank u john Anderson

i love i mean i love this song it's like a history lesson in one song but for real im semanole

God what’d they film this with, a fuckin potato?

a deepened depression in gold, land of seminole. society's fingerprint copied? treating Indians with respect not topsy turvy.

My music teacher sang this to us

so beautiful. Just awesome. Miss the good old country music times...

Who knew that a song about ecological destruction of a people. Would be a hit. Missing the days when music actually had something to say. Kudos to Mr John Anderson.

Hey John, this song is so sad but true. You move me to tears, I think of all the greed of industry with no regard for the natural world. They rape the land as long as they are making money.

King Mekko loves you child 👑✝️🌹💋🔥

There is so much truth and feelings in this song

I am part Cherokee and my grandmother was a part Cherokee. I wish she was still around to tell me of my ancestors but that won't happen and thats sad.

When Country Music was more than Cookie Cutter "Beer, Trucks and Chicks" songs.

Brilliant song. He really brings the story to life.

Listening to this, drinkin' a cold beer, smoking a cigarette enjoying the night time air by my firepit. Relaxing as hell and thanking God for all I have.

All very good I enjoy them all

This song Reminds me of my childhood

This is one of those songs...

this song makes this white eye tear up for the native folks

Real country music! Southern style ! Flo-rid-a

"Seminole Wind" is one of my top 20 all time favorite country songs. The musical composition is perfect in that it tells a story without lyrics. Then there are the lyrics. I can count on one hand the number of popular songs that reflect honor and respect for Native American culture. Then there is the pathos and tragedy of the disrespect of the Glades (Mother Earth) by commercialized development from White culture. What a song!!! 🎼🎶💞🙄😁👏👏

An airboat ride is on my bucket list!

Saw him in concert last night. He still has it. Awesome

THEY DON'T MAKE COUNTRY MUSIC GOOD LIKE THIS ANYMORE!

I'd call it folk music.... it doesn't suck like country music does. John sure hasn't aged well has he... lol still a great song.

This song makes me cry.

I was high back then

John's best song by far. REAL country music!

Good country music!

This is such a beautiful song!😢

The Seminole man featured prominently came into the schools with me to teach students about Seminole culture in the 80s...Bobby Henry. He was a fantastic craftsman and shaman...he knew how to flintknap points. The man shown very briefly on the airboat (with his shirt open) is James Billie who was chairman of the tribe at that time...He was a pilot and I wonder if the videos from the air were made with him....

They took my great grandpas land to build high rise apartments and a new road and new Supdivision. It had been in our family seance before the civil war.

id love a high difinition video version of this

love you john Anderson!

This man is my relative my mom's maiden name is Anderson

Sad but true

Does anyone remember who directed this wonderful music video?

This song got me through many bad nights stuck in Somalia.

Ur right John they are messing w our land even now

It breaks my heart what's happening to my Florida.

2019, still loving it.

Hey country girl...

This is a much better version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8sh9P3X33w

Greetings and love to all from the deep South

Love to hear all your songs but this is the best thank you

GOD BLESS YOU MR. Anderson for this song because now people will stop and see what damage their progress has actually made.
Their Progress = Genocide..

He had the hit "Swingin", it opened the door to his very best song. His heart and sole is in this song. Although I couldn't turn the station fast enough when "Swingin" came on, but I thank it's success and this great song that followed

Great to dance to.

Love this, kinda sad though

awesome!!!!

Its it called "Semen-ole" wind when you have the cum farts???

This is real country music. This is tells a story and you can feel the music it is that great:)

LOVE FLORIDA I am from OHIO

Beathfull song true true classeic song very good video 😀😀😀

I was alone studying in Arkansas..... when this song came out it felt like a warmth welcome.

I don't know how to describe the mood of this song but I really like it. It's kind of ghostly. Midnight in Montgomery by Alan Jackson is another one.

I love Ohio

Wow. What a video. 🐝

Ive lived in Florida all my life and this song is all true about how Florida was changed for all the snow birds can live in this climate with mega water consuming mansions and golf courses for which now sink holes are swallowing homes . Florida is ruined???
John Anderson is true in the way this song is sung from the heart and meaning for all the southern Florida natives.
God bless John Anderson

There’s still a few of us left don’t stop fighting screw these urbanization of subdivisions keep Florida wild

joe show,talk with all and what ever or who ever all day I'm me :?:-

chill back n you the shit every day their isn't another day on any day home or away no concern no matter where😆😃🤗:-D

she all sht lies which hurt n talking where hurts n broken things which aren't any thing cause free people who stay with lies care about their lies.

what set of set up,s or dick lips 🚣

This was my favorite song s a little boy

Today's country music sucks , tho I'm not the biggest fan of it but like other genres I stick with influences that come from a line of music that has lasted

What a great tribute to the Everglades... River of Grass!

2019, we're still fighting to keep nature here in Florida. Will the majority of man never realise, we've one shot at life and without nature, we and our next generations, can't truly, survive.

great song

reading the comments..mostly hate...nothing has changed.

Airboats & all I friggin love this video! Love seeing parts of South to central Florida that are not often in your typical music videos people (mainly tourists) think South Florida and think of South Beach & for central it’s Disney World but REAL Florida natives know the Everglades to the Okeechobee I love the Everglades & the Seminoles (aka the real Florida native Americans) I’m a proud South Florida native born & raised, I support the tribe & I STILL friggin love this song!🤟🏼🔥🌬💨
