[@swapmeetlus4096]

This is my favorite version, makes you feel like you're the last one in the bar and finally realizing you shouldn't have even came.

[@burnbarnes1198]

What a fitting and eloquent summation

[@XrpAndy]

That’s when you just keep drinking

[@HanifBarnwell]

This is a wayyyy distant 3rd to Elvis’ version, the definitive version as you well know is by Danny O’Keefe.

[@swapmeetlus4096]

Hanif Barnwell I’ll listen to it and be back

[@swapmeetlus4096]

Hanif Barnwell ok, so for me the o’keefy version makes me feel like I’m in a tropical setting if that makes sense. I like the lonely country town feeling of Charlie’s version more still.

[@jackbrick5885]

I graduated college in May during the pandemic and couldn’t get a job. I moved back in with my parents and was working a part time shift that started at 5am just to make a little money. I listened to this song almost every morning on my drive and felt really down. Things are looking up for me right now and I am thankful, but I’m also thankful for the rough times that made me stronger.

[@jamiefisher8411]

Gotta go through em bro! Congrats on the grad.

[@Sercer25]

Man, you've barely breached life. If you think thats 'down.' You'll understand as you get older how much farther 'down' you can go.

[@s.cahill9701]

@@Sercer25 Don't sugar coat it for the boy, that's some hard truth right there

[@ORflycaster]

True wisdom clearly written. And if you live long enough, you’ll start to connect more with the Blues than with County. Not everyone is forced to “live” that much however.

[@nomadjeff1922]

That shows you how good music stands the test of time.

[@kids3814]

This song perfectly describes me when I was single and stuck in my home town depressed. Now I’m married and some place new but damn me if this doesn’t tug on these old rusty heart strings

[@seeman2198]

i almost feel you brotha. great description.

[@user-yw4tg7hz2d]

Hell if that aint me right now man

[@samhianblackmoon]

Ain’t that the truth 👍🏽

[@rebelwithin4527]

Glad you made it out and found something better, gives us all hope

[@alexhergan5647]

Left the most beautiful place in the world and a lady who loved me in Oregon to come home and see my mom who's sick. Now I'm single and sitting at home in a town I hate, but hey you can't get the sunshine without some rain right? Glad you got out brother can't wait for my time to shine again

[@chadfisher5246]

I have two wishes: that my kids live to be 100 years old, and that Charley Crockett makes 5 trillion dollars crafting his art. I love your voice and presentation young man. Go forward, and be good. I love what you do.

[@FlakMagnet11]

I agree 100%! Let's get him there!!

[@fergofns]

Also, 100% in agreement. I'd really like to meet Charkey Crockett some day, wicked talent.

[@harryhobo8875]

Dam right this guy is something else. If you are looking for some old fashion country check out Colter Wall. He's the man!

[@rindamorin5477]

Chad Fisher well said!! Agree 💯💯💯‼️

[@jeremywilson4341]

Dumbest comment ever

[@MrSphinxster]

For a timeless song that's been covered by a ton of people, this version is outstanding.

[@krisdutch-gf2dr]

I’ve said it 1000 times and I’ll say it again “Charley Crockett can’t do NO wrong “

[@JanWoods-d3p]

Yep absolutely 😊🍻

[@TheSuckoShow]

One of my favorite songs, one of my favorite cities. I knew that was Gallup right away.

[@caseylee12]

This is the first AUTHENTIC new (but he's really been singing awhile) SINGER I've heard in years. No gimmicks, no flash and dash, just pure TALENT.

[@lew-e]

Not disagreeing with you but there are a number of country artists that fit this bill. If you'd like a short list let me know :)

[@Matthew-dr1un]

Lew-e I would like a short list

[@eenaccountdiejenietvergeet6896]

Yeah me too!

[@annehopkins3393]

@Lew-e, +1 for the short list! Thanks

[@abelq8008]

And he's got SOUL.

[@carolmcpeek528]

This song makes me want to sit in a dingy bar and day drink. I love Charley Crocketts music and style.

[@matteli539]

I'm a 28 year old east coast city slicker. I absolutely love the country side, but for now I'm stuck. I grew up studying music in California. And let me tell you, there is no country music there. I knew lots about music but very little country. It wasn't until I discovered two amazing channels on KZbin that I became a country fanatic. Gems on VHS and Western AF have really changed the way I look at music. Charley I'm so glad I had discovered you. I've been flipping through your music all over the internet and just absolutely love it.

[@josephnash3015]

I once saw in a Texas bar men’s room, “There are only two types of music, Country & Western”. Welcome to the country genre.

[@porkchopexpress477]

Two phenomenal channels. True country. Benjamin Todd or lost dog street band and Sierra Ferrell are 2 of my favs

[@lifeofkeats839]

I respect this man's commitment to good old fashion country. Its tremendous 👏

[@bigjoe8922]

Wow!, the kid is good. Johnny and Waylon are smiling

[@alexanderkboyce]

Interesting how this classic sound is “modernized” by a new artist like CC. Finally some great new music!

[@leeza9518]

I,guess I just, love the way, you, sing!!! Charley Crockett, is the biggest talent, in town!!!!

[@jackdub7740]

i dont even like country music and this guy is my life right now. this man should be a star!

[@noela.casillas2122]

Hopefully this guy changes your mind. He's indispensable.

[@ORflycaster]

Don't judge country music by Charlie Crockett............he's much better than 95% of what's out there right now. IF you start exploring the older stuff (50's to 70's) you might uncover some sounds you like. For instance, the Danny O'Keefe original and Charlie Rich remake of this song are both fantastic. I can't tell you the name of a single country "artist" on the radio right now, and I use the quote marks in complete sarcasm. But before Nashville's greed destroyed country music, there was a long heritage of some great talent and wonderful music. If you spend some time getting to know the genre you should make some enjoyable discoveries. ;)

[@chloelawley4529]

Well guess what? You like country music🤣

[@MaximusWolfe]

I guess that’s not true if you like this cat. But I guess it’s more important for you to dislike an entire genre of music then to say the words, “wow country music is pretty darn good after all.”

[@ORflycaster]

It’s perfectly ok to like only a very select few artists of a certain genre. Often the ones heavily pushed by the industry aren’t the ones that sound the best. I’ve been an avid country music fan for 45yrs, but hate most what’s pushed by Nashville today. For me it’s either older music or non mainstream talent like Charlie.

[@Oculus729]

Excellent tribute to Danny O'Keefe.

[@orangejuice3688]

Most interesting voice I've ever heard. You are a star. Hope you make millions.

[@feelnrite]

Growing up in Gallup, can I just say this version captures the “Gallup feel” perfectly

[@micktarrant7733]

Dead right on that, great location shots. El Rancho Hotel was the giveaway for me. Stayed there a couple of nights on a road trip with my wife. Also spotted "Zimmermann's' and 'Richardson's', stores where we shopped.

[@chuckerpower2841]

Love Gallup, New Mexico as a back drop!! 🙂

I’m from far west Texas, growing up we spent a lot of time in New Mexico. I always watch this video when I’m homesick.

Every song I've heard from this guy has been incredible! Relatable lyrics, timeless music, sharp dresser, and he also has a good eye for visuals as well.

[@christophercorrell9401]

Love. Love. Love. Man this guy just brings me back to the time when the world was right.

[@BenJohnson0531]

The song’s about depression and feeling like life’s passing you by.

[@Splat55099]

Charlie my friend, while I of course wish you to be successful in life. I truly hope you don’t get any more famous than you are now. You are easily the best new country artist around. It seems to me that fame just ruins everyone’s lives and music. So I truly hope that you just stay the course, and keep making this great music. Because it is gold.

[@douglasbrumble7258]

Just believe my boy Charlie's gonna do country music right, wish h success

[@specificpacifica2260]

When he looks in your eyes and sings about being in pain, you feel sorry for him for hurting as much as you have many a time. He didn't write it, but he sure feels it.

Colter Wall and Charley Crockett are two of the greatest modern country artists alive. They belong there with the classic gold artists.

[@catmansma]

I always get so happy when new artists bring back to life an "oldie" otherwise this brilliant work would just fade away. Charley is more than talent. And he shows that you don't need to go all "glam" to make it in this business. His videos are much more than those who will spend millions and a hundred people or more, to make. Great work.
