Sturgill Simpson - Living The Dream

Taken from the album 'Metamodern Sounds In Country Music'.

[@chadshook8733]

This guy’s voice is the offspring of Waylon and George Strait…and I really like it!

[@reallytiredmachinist]

Dude I swear there's songs of his that sound like Waylon and Merle singing. He's amazing.

[@7thcavretro]

I hear a lot of Sturgill Simpson in his voice

I would have thought it was Waylon if I didn’t look

[@philliptalbott1389]

Must be family of Waylon

If I could thunbs uo a million times I would!! Country ain't dead you just gotta look for it!

[@joshuagannon8667]

“Mama’s gonna wash it all away, she thinks mercy’s overrated.” Man that’s a goddamn line. Loving this album, feels like rockin 70’s country.

[@travisbarton8977]

Seriously, I came here to say this. I feel like it means to stop expecting life to be peachy all the time, because if you're just waiting for the good times to come you'll be waiting until it's all over. Because Mama ( mother nature, life) thinks mercy is overrated and doesn't care whether you're enjoying yourself or not. The collective consciousness of all life is not attached to you the way you are and is totally fine without you. This is why you have to experience life no matter what before it's too late. What do you think?

This man is brilliant, sings from the soul and not what he thinks people want to hear, but it is what people want to hear

“That old man up stairs tho, wears a crooked smile, Staring down on the chaos he created. He said son if you ain’t havin fun, just wait a little while. Mommas gonna wash it all away. She thinks mercy’s over rated” 💙

Time and time again Lord I keep going through the motions A means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet Walking around living the dream anytime I take the notion Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet Ain't no point getting outta bed if you ain't living the dream It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream I don't need to change my strings 'Cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing Oh, I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die Been waiting on an angel waitress to come and take my order Tell me all about the special today Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boarder Hoping them circles on the paper don't call back telling me to start today That old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smile Staring down at the chaos he created He said "son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while Momma's gonna wash it all away And she thinks Mercy's overrated" Ain't no point getting outta bed if you ain't living the dream It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream I don't need to change my strings 'Cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing Oh, I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die Oh, I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die

What would be cool, is if all these new country music artists took note of how good, and genuinely country this song is. Maybe they'll stop making so much horrible popcountry/hip-hop garbage. Don't get me wrong, those genres have they're place for sure. But not in country music. Pick a damn lane, children.
