One of the best pieces of music I have EVER heard. And I’m old.

[@DJK-cq2uy]

I was born three days ago n dig this cat

[@nelsonjewett1198]

❤😉🙃

[@nikopoa6555]

Love the smiles on the band’s faces before the song. They’re like “wait til they get a load of this.” Gives me a permagrin the entire song watching them. Especially Sturg. Dude loves music. True sign of a brilliant artist.

[@barryware7497]

You nailed it ..

[@rubboardcindy]

I cannot get enough of this song......I just found this guy he is awesome.....

[@macstands788]

Sturgil as a rock n roll hippy you're the real deal on country! You don't play country you carve it like wood! Great lyrics too! Mac

[@themightykyuss]

Grateful Dead ----> Merle ----> Willie ----> Waylon ----> Sturgill My path, more or less, to finding Sturgill and other great country music.

[@corybarrett3651]

wheeler walker jr -> sturgill simpson

[@chrish4522]

That's a damn good path.

[@ezekielbrockmann114]

Incredibly well mixed and mic'd. The horns are phenomenal.

[@shanemac5366]

Fantastic. Love the horns. Superbly, Sturgill.

[@tajj03]

My father is in the late stage of his cancer. This song has been helping me cope for several weeks now.

[@veggie74]

I am so sorry. I just lost my sister suddenly at a young age. I find myself here at the same song. I share in your stress and sorrow. May you find some comfort in this song, the same as I am trying to find right now. We share a common burden in our lives. God bless you and your father.

[@barryware7497]

Thats great.. Prayers for your father..

[@fancytower4339]

My new favorite artist. Absolutely Beautiful

[@Gypsybayoupirate]

This is my favorite song by sturgill!

[@eener66]

the live arrangement is so friggin aweosme!!

[@jamesbuchanan9937]

You have to wonder if they took the moment at the end and pushed that jam, kept repeating it, backed off just a bit and then came back into the song as a bridge to a whole other song. Did not want that one to end.

[@bobsmoot8454]

I had no clue what to expect when I click on this video, I saw the black ES175 and thought what the heck. This is smoking band and the singer has that gravely voice of a blues man, love the horns plus a great arrangement

[@johnzenger7880]

It's like a buffet for my ears.

[@stephaniebroadrick2132]

this is by far one of my favorite songs of recent years!!!!

[@nikopoa6555]

98k views? Shit that can’t be right. I’ve watched it 90,000 times myself.

[@nikopoa6555]

Just one of the best performances I’ve ever seen on video. And I’m a metal fan.

[@barryware7497]

Glad you appreciate this great artist.. This is outlaw country..Waylon would be proud..

The legend.

[@andrewhunter9995]

corpsey79 the sturgill!!!!!!

[@jeannieself79]

I heard this song in the car a year ago. I had to look at the radio to see if it was still on a country station. I thought I had been transported to Louisiana, listening to their awesome Blues music, which we dont have in N. Texas. I never heard his name or the song title. I couldnt understand a word he said either, so I couldnt even ask anyone who he was. But, I LOVED IT! I never heard it again til this year, finally got his name and song title! But wouldnt you know, Wally world shut down their music section. Guess, I,ll have to sign up to I-tunes. At least with this app, I have gotten caught up with Sturgill and LOVE his tunes!

[@dr.bowdoin3067]

Jeannie Self easy don’t knock Texas ZZ TOP does the blues too!

[@ghostsaver6]

Waylon never died

[@GenX1972]

One day you wake up And this life will be over Every party must break up For burdens to shoulder We're dyin' to live Living to die No matter what you believe And all of us cry For the ones we must leave So go and live a little Bone turns brittle And skin withers before your eyes Make sure you give a little Before you go to the great unknown in the sky Some will beg for forgiveness From someone above For something they did Someone they love Some scream like a baby Some go out cryin' Some bid the world goodbye And welcome to die Oh, I can live a little Bone turns brittle And skin withers before your eyes Make sure you give a little Before you go to the great unknown in the sky

[@KevinMichaelMichael]
