A Country Boy Can Survive is one of the signature songs from acclaimed country music artist Hank Williams Jr. Released as a single from his 1982 album, ‘The Pressure Is On’, the song was immensely popular with fans, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles. Williams Jr re-wrote the lyrics of the song, making it more patriotic in tone (such as the title being changed to America Will Survive), immediately post-9/11.
