"Paint It Blue"
They say there's a price on my head
And that I'm better off dead
But that sheriff better keep this in mind
I'll sure be hard to find
I give up so much of me
I should probably be charging a fee
You say that you don't like me, and I'm wrong
I bet you're gonna love the way I'm gone
I ain't too concerned with my name
'Cause I know it won't be on my grave
But I ain't gonna hang my head down and cry
'Cause I know where I'm going when I die
The bright lights shining in this city
Remind me of the time when she was with me
It's the same old feeling, nothing new
So, I'm fixing to paint it blue
Blue
I might be down in Texas after a while
Or Louisiana in style
But I'll tell you what I'm really gonna do
I'm fixing to paint it blue
And I'm fixing to paint it blue
Yes, I'm fixing to paint it blue
You know I'm fixing to paint it blue
Lord, I'm fixing to paint it blue

Everything Charley touches is golden.

It's refreshing to hear that traditional country music isn't totally gone.

[@herb_2]

I wouldn't call this traditional and not sure if Charley would either. For one, he blends soul/r&b into his tunes, you can get that in his vocal delivery in this video. Idk, he's definitely influenced by the bigs of the past but his music feels pretty fresh to me. Is "modern traditional" a thing? Lol

[@DingDongDaddyFromDumas933]

@@herb_2 I just keep it simple Charley makes really good music.

[@paulojrg]

@@herb_2 Probably "contemporary traditional", but no matter what people want to call it, it's just great music.

[@stratasticB]

@@herb_2 he calls it 'Gulf Western'

[@joshdream4775]

I'm from Alberta and this is uplifting

[@kaledn0ur]

Here from land of bad! Great music.

[@picanto12]

Me too

[@DurpVonFronz]

Your solo acoustic version of your songs just hit on a whole other level. Tremendous!

[@juliomiranda5428]

This man is the goat 🤠

[@tagavery]

I would love to hear Charley do a cover of Marty Robbins’ “Big Iron”. I feel like he would put his own twist and handprint on it like all of his other great covers.

[@fOODfiGhtEXploitS]

That would be cool. Id like to hear him do Prairie 🔥

[@ElliotsM3]

This is on the film “land of bad” you about to blow up. I been a fan for years 🎉

[@gboyegaagunbiade9472]

That movie brought me here. Never heard of him before now but it’s refreshing to hear that good old country sound! Can you recommend any other of his songs ?

[@sothmusic8045]

MR CROCKETT SIR 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@waylonfuckingjennings]

That is the greatest version of that song I have ever heard or seen

[@jameskoch9452]

I went and saw Charley live in Shreveport a couple months ago and had great time so I’m going to another show soon. Such an amazing artist.

[@ComedyBros5]

One of the greatest live show performances you can see!

[@sup393]

He's 🔥.

[@PaulBarroso]

Headed down to Baton Rouge

[@fitnesswithbill5595]

Always a treat to see and hear his solo versions with just a voice and a guitar. Huge inspiration. Thank you Charley!

[@mistyjames810]

Yeah Charley🎉❤🎉 nice guitar 🎸

[@mattbliss3548]

Never Stop We Love You So Much!! 🔥 🐊

[@justinoff1]

He's like bill munro , Dylan and Johnny Cash rolled into one. As someone who listens exclusively to gangster rap this music is so refreshing to hear. Country music these days is atrocious. This is however is pure gold.

[@SOP83]

This is the perfect song to play while painting something blue (literally).

[@elizabethreyna2726]

I saw him in Helotes last year. It was a spontaneous trip with my husband and it was the best concert I’ve ever been to! His band is amazing, and his vocals compliment them so well overall such a good experience watching him create gold 💕

[@johnny_moon]

Capo on that fifth 🔥🔥🔥. The way you strum that Waterloo is just pure 💰💰

[@sup393]

This video is shot beautifully. Well it's Charley Crockett. He doesn't half ass anything

[@Csweat226]

This was always one of my favorites on Welcome to Hard Times, glad it’s finally getting the credit it deserves. 💥 🐊 💥

[@cadencressman]

Charley never misses

[@MaksimOutdoors]

This guy is going to go down in the history books as one of the best

Amazing as always, Charley

[@Hochodo]

He sings straight up soul music with a country flare

[@nephric850]

Charley, you're a musicial genius! 🐐

[@williamdew]

Amazing tune. Love your strumming technique. An inspiration.

100% Excellent!!!

[@louisegardenia7674]

Incredible talent! Charleys music gives me goosebumps. Saw him a few weeks ago in Brisbane. Honestly was the best concert I’ve ever been to!

[@strayaplaya117]

I was there too, is this not filmed at the tivoli?

[@Gratefulman1965]

I agree, I took my family to his Portland Oregon (USA) show this past December as an early Christmas gift……Money and time well wasted!

[@louisegardenia7674]

I thought that too! Looks like the Tivoli! The concert was epic!

[@strayaplaya117]

@@louisegardenia7674 Was a brilliant night! I would love to see him again soon 🎸

[@huntsonora]

Timeless

[@killerwhale2419]

This song while playing red dead redemption 2 is up there for my favorite things in the world. Kinda bittersweet having my brother passed and that was one of our games but still love some charley and red dead.

[@jeancarlos-tk6fv]

This guy is my new favorite, I’ll be playing his songs on repeat for a while.

[@thomashayes3833]

Every time he touches a instrument and start singing it's always gold

[@davidcastellano3818]

Brutal, sin adornos, más emoción es imposible

[@phillyblunt8279]

First Charley, My cousin Brian met you and you signed an alum for his son Fletcher. Thanks for that. Brian thinks he's cool because he met you. But I introduced him to your music. Please Tell Brian to show respect. Love you Charley, Phillip P.S Please do a song with Seirra Ferrell

[@makaylafrazier2001]

I agree! A song with Charley and Sierra would be awesome!!

[@deepblueseeds5563]

This man is a great song writer. He’s got some some weird chords fit in there to match his singing like the d7. I love the way even Charlie’s strumming looks like it’s some old western scene but it’s actually his technique.

[@doolittleme]

[@MicahThunder]

Thanks for sharing a piece of your soul. I'd love to play with you someday.

[@PlanetMint]

An alternative or juxtaposition to this song can be a riff on his love for the Blues. So it goes something like this “I’m fixing to play the Blues… I tell you what I’m really gonna do…. I’m fixing to play the Blues… and I’m fixing to play the blues… yes I’m fixing to play the blues… you know I’m fixing to play the bluuuuueees” idk I thought that went well with the song

[@johnnydrama3389]

It doesn’t you’re wrong

[@user-yb6mj5lt7t]

Wow ❤ nice song. You gifted. I think you should do something with Anthony Hamilton. It'd be awesome 👌

[@Nykstudio]

better than the studio recording
