Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Dead love couldn't go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push, shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord, I ain't coming home with you
[Verse 2]
My life's a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don't know what I'm gonna do
[Chorus]
I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee
My squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell's bells, miss-spells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I'll be in good company
[Verse 3]
Dead Love couldn't go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord I ain't coming home with you
[Verse 4]
My life's a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don't know what I'm gonna do
[Chorus]
I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee, my squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell's bells, misspells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I'll be in good company
[Outro]
In hell I'll be in Good Company

[@Grant_Amadeus]

Imagine a world where audiences actually clapped in time with musicians. Certainly in such a perfect world we would have peace.

[@KristinJohansen1]

That and everybody would always sing in tune. :p Life would be perfect, there would be no war or sickness, life would be good, and I could die happy.

[@bobfudge7964]

Y’all are ignorant

[@dutcher268]

Its not that they are off, its because of the reverb that its delayed.

[@camrobinson7491]

They're clapping on 1 and 3 instead of 2 and 4. Sounds terrible... if you are music illiterate, DON'T CLAP!!

[@bwilliams463]

There are certain types of audiences that politically-incorrectly are incapable of clapping a backbeat. I won't say who, but they look a lot like this audience.

[@frueherwarallesbesser...]

Thank you for that real and honest music ... like the old Times. Greetings from Switzerland !!!

[@tulyar57]

As the years go by this song and the Dead South's live performances of it just get better and better.

[@Ridesmule]

That was fun to watch, just good energy.

[@virtueofabsolution7641]

Ehhhh honestly they, ironically, seemed tired. Like I honestly didn’t even know they do the swinging-arm marching bit every time they perform this but it just seems half-hearted here. Great song but a bit gimmicky tbh

[@chestermulhaven6039]

I’ve been playing songs for my elderly dad for years trying to get him to like one. This was it, he listens to you constantly now

This is NOT my type of music, but I WOULD listen to them all day. This is talent, pure, raw talent.

[@nodrip1]

My daughter turned me on to this song. I love her

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

Ok, playing a cello like a bass while whistling might be the most impressive thing I've seen in quite a while

[@suzieque4438]

I'm into a different type of music. These very talented young men have changed that. The lyrics, the music, the voice are so fine. So good that it should be used in movies. Thank you.

My absolute favorite song! A lot of performers don't sound as good live, but you guys DO! Consistently over the top! I would've been surprised if y'all didn't get on Grand Ole Opry! Y'all are all excellent w/ all your talents, but i've gotta say that I "personally" have never seen such a musically gifted "whistler" before. I surge w/ joy inside when I listen & watch y'all perform! THANKYOU all for sharing your gift w/ us!💗💓💞💕

That second harmony by Scott Pringle is just sick! Such a fantastic song guys!

[@demadnutter8182]

I watched the guys at a venue in Sydney last year and the place was absolutely rocking. How these people could just sit in their seats I've no idea..

[@corrob]

the Opry is its own thing, each show has multiple artists perform, many Nashville tourists buy tickets and a lot of times they dont know who is playing until you get there. i went one time, was happily surprised Charlie Daniels closed out the night.

[@thebigdog2295]

​@@corrobWhen you're invited to play at The Grand old Opry , it means you've arrived. Especially when you're a band playing what in the old days, would be called blue grass music.

[@corrob]

@@thebigdog2295 oh i know all about the Opry, i was just figuring the guy i responded to was from Australia and didnt know how that show is set up. and im from Kentucky, i know all about bluegrass too.

[@thebigdog2295]

@@corrob Okay glad to hear that, didn't think about it that way. You're right though, if he is Australian he might not know that. I grew up on both. Minnie Pearl was a cousin of mine. So the family music was bluegrass and country. And I'm willing to bet you can guess which two shows, were required watching in the house when I was a kid.

[@corrob]

@dog2295 ha! i grew up watching Hee Haw :)

I wonder when the last time a Canadian played the banjo at the Grand Ol Opry? And with a cello? Nice to see that TDS have arrived. They're worth listening to. They have a ton of good songs.

[@CaptainBakerJason]

I’m sure there are several Canadians but it may be the first with a cello at the Grand Ole Opry. Teri Clarke and Shania Twain come to mind.

[@IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

@@CaptainBakerJason I didn't know that Shania Twain played the banjo.

[@CaptainBakerJason]

@@IusedtohaveausernameIliked was replying to the post wondering if this was the first Canadian to perform at the Opry. They are not, but to the possibility of the first Canadian group with a cello … who knows?

[@jmontgomery32]

You guys were THE amazing artists

[@lindseymcginnis6915]

Wow!! This is such an amazing Recording! I absolutely love these guys. I listen to them all of the time and I have been privileged enough to see them twice live in Whitefish. The first time at the Great Northern bar and then last year I worked for the Under the Big Sky festival which is rite down from my house and I got to stand on the back of the stage as they performed Banjo Odyssey and it was one of the most amazing overwhelming moments of my entire life I'll never forget. Maybe next time I see them I won't be so intimidated and scared to go up and say hey and shake their hands!!! Especially when I have all backstage access!! Such an underrated talent!! I appreciate the moments they have made my life just that much more enjoyable.

[@thebigstick117]

I'm so happy for yall. This is just the beginning. I look forward to more great music from you guys.
