Lyrics:
“That’s What Makes the World Go Round”
a young woman in the window
wonders what the futures got in store
she heard about the city
and it's night life’s got her wanting so much more
she sees children in the street
out there playing right up till nightfall
and as the evening sun goes down
she thinks that’s what makes the world go around
she’s dreaming of the good life
but all she finds is a long and winding road
full of trials and tribulations
conflicting information on where to go
though the bar is unforgiving
she always hears that neon call her name
she’s livin' for a honky tonk sound
the one that makes her world go around
same woman different window
reminiscing about those simple times
she’s drinking to remember
and dancing to forget what’s on her mind
the children in the street
are all grown up playing those same games
while they run right through this town
just a little bit further down
cause that’s what makes the world go around
that’s what makes the world go around

People complain about wanting that old country sound yet this song only has 100k views, support the old sound if you want it so bad

[@Testement117]

Going to see him live, mention him constantly, blast it out of the rig. Do the same.

[@Honkytaco]

@@Testement117 I jam to his music all the time, he’s extremely underrated

[@elizabethbebb2793]

Oh yesss now that's what I call country!!

[@fOODfiGhtEXploitS]

I feel like anyone saying that under 40 now, usually means the old sound of the 90s lol.

[@MaksimOutdoors]

Well if this is any hint on how 2024 will be then we are all in for a treat two legends with an amazing song, let’s go!

[@charlesking5328]

Never heard much about Charley I have to admit. Willie on the other hand is bonafide

2024 is coming hot with no lube sorry to say..

This is frickin phenomenal! How am I only just now learning about Charley Crockett?! After hearing this song, I have been diving to his tunes for the last two hours and still going! Four albums ordered!

[@yoniopdenkamp5092]

Amazing artist indeed. Glad you found him

[@dipthongthathongthongthong9691]

Put it this way, I grew up in NY and Philly. NOT a country/western music fan. But Charley's Welcome to Hard Times and The Man from Waco are on heavy rotation in my house. His cover of How I Got to Memphis is one of my all-time favorites. Saw him in Flagstaff AZ last year. The man is phenomenal. Of course shout out to the legend Willie who transcends all genres.

[@jgringo5516]

He’s cool as heck. Been a few years now for me. I listen to this dude every day driving to work and to and from the Lake on my days off. Brings back memories of the music my Dad played with those 8 tracks back in the 1970’s when I was a tiny turd.

[@yoniopdenkamp5092]

@@dipthongthathongthongthong9691 I’m from the Netherlands. We have zero country music. People don’t even know luke combs over here haha. Hope to see him live someday

[@davemadden727]

@@dipthongthathongthongthong9691I am having dreams of Charley touring with Willie at this Summer's Outlaw Music Festival, and perhaps coming to St. Louis!

Saw Willie and band, Watsonville, Ca. on a sunny Monterey Bay day in maybe ‘76. He just gets better! I’ll be 83 on Jan. 14, and gives me hope! Trigger just gets better with the years! Never stop the REAL music!!!! 😎🇺🇸❤️🙏

Happy New Year Willie and Charley!!

[@kenelk4912]

Legend! Willie still hustling work at 90…

[@bobhemphut4011]

I saw Willie and Family this past year for the 2nd time. Amazing to see him at this age so fluid and cerebral. Inspiring to say the least. People love the genuine nature of the man. He has that Grandfatherly light that maybe some of our elder ancestors possessed when we were children. You cant help, but admire the man for being truly Honest, Authentic and Humble. These are qualities that built America which lots of folks still resonate strongly with.

[@thrashassholegnar]

Absolutely amazing combination! Now we need to do a song with his son Lukas Nelson

[@annkat100]

Charley and Lucas… Just thinking that through. You’re right; they’d melt any crowd! Those two-their talents, & though I hv feeling as commentator, you’re a man, frm a woman’s POV, what a duo they’d be, w/ potential to create actual swooning by us! 😉👍🏽🎵♥️🫶🏽🐴

@@cubsfan696 Thanks for the tips. Colter Wall I have discovered and love. I will most def check out Turnpike.

Turnpike for sure, Tyler Childers (older stuff), Sierra Ferrall if you like the sound of older music, Nelson obviously, Chris Stapleton and Charles Wesley Godwin are good shouts still but don't worry about branching out, music is whatever you enjoy that's what matters.
