Tyler Hood | "Five Miles Over the Limit" | Western AF

Western AF presents | Tyler Hood | "Five Miles Over the Limit"
Tyler Hood is the winner of the Gems in the Rough contest 2021, brought to you by our friends-in-cameras, Gems On VHS. Tyler's submission video stuck out because his songwriting was deeply honest but also because he was in a john-boat in a creek, in the winter.
It took us longer than we expected to get him out West but we are so glad he could join us in Wyoming. This video was shot at the Wyoming Territorial Prison, the only place to ever successfully hold Butch Cassidy. You can visit this spot just about any day and it is well worth your time.

Need to make a Spotify debut!

[@vinnyt42allday]

We need this one on Spotify so badly

[@AlanaMorris-z4o]

KZbin IS BETTER, SAID WHAT I SAID

[@vinnyt42allday]

@user-cq3ye4td6r Well to be fair I want it on tidal but was going to settle for spotify 😭😭

[@jeffcmo1957]

I come here to feel and remind myself of the gift of life i have and take for granted.

[@shanner4130]

Thanks for completing DESTROYING me tonight. This hits close. Very close. Your lyrics, beautiful. Never stop doing what you do!

[@WesternAF]

Thanks for listening

[@devinoverstreet7523]

This song stopped me dead in my tracks. I'm crying now and it's not even my own story! What captivating songwriting and simple but not dumbed-down lyrics. I feel like my friend just told me his dark secret and kinda made it rhyme. Thanks Tyler Hood!

[@1coopjsn]

I wholeheartedly agree. What a tragic tale so honestly performed.

[@Cambug-NC]

Yep this just happened to me on my first listen

[@martinparidon9056]

Yeah this guy is incredible. Check out his other stuff aswell

[@sam4secretary]

Bravo Mr. Hood & WesternAF-- Great reminder that seat belts, sober drivers, and slowing down saves lives right before July 4th weekend. "And your daddy said he can't believe that I could take something so perfect and make it all bleed And I know that he's in the right but that don't help me now while I'm drunk here tonight"

[@mrsweettater]

Mr. Hood. I've heard some sad country songs but that one tore my heart in two. You are a great story teller and song writer! Thanks!

[@Dothejanefonda]

Yessir.

[@IdahBros]

solid song, gonna look up more of his shit. Thanks WesternAF for giving guys like this a little more opportunity to be seen. Found so many good artists because of you guys.

[@mfr336]

I'm not a huge country fan, mostly because of what they play on the radio, but this is so good. Like the difference between contemporary Christian music and old time hymns, no comparison.

[@mattw4065]

"dancing into a power line pole" paints such a vivid picture, incredible songwriting

[@joannebeauchamp1169]

I’m impressed! This is a good song with equally good singing! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@michaelbarringer1718]

I have been on a Tyler hood rabbit hole and I ain't mad about it.

[@cedarriver]

Like the songwriting here a lot, good one! Chords and lyrics below as always folks Standard tuning, Capo on 2 Intro G B7 C D x2 Verses 1&3 G B7 C D x8 Chorus Am C G D / Am C G B7 C D / B7 C G D / B7 C G D Interlude 1 G B7 C D x2 Verse 2 G B7 C D x4 Chorus Am C G D / Am C G B7 C D / B7 C G D / B7 C G Interlude 2 G B7 C D x4 [Intro] [Verse 1] It's early morning, the sun was shining through the clouds and the trees And you were smiling and kinda laughing in the car next to me I took a turn too fast and I let that sucker roll Round and round like we were dancing into a power line pole [Chorus] And it happened so fast, I couldn't see you through all of the glass But I held on to your hand as we flew through the air And maybe if you were the same, then I could live out the rest of my life without shame But you ain't wherever you go and I hope you are better but I'll never know [Interlude] [Verse 2] And your daddy said he can't believe that I could take something so perfect and make it all bleed And I know that he's in the right but that don't help me now while I'm drunk here tonight [Chorus] And I remember that you told me that you'd be a nurse when you'd passed in the spring And I wish that you could help me tonight in this bar And I know just like everyone that it's hard to get back on the road once you're gone And five miles over the limit is all that it takes [Interlude] [Verse 3] And if life is a dream then I'm afraid of waking up But it's colder and deeper than the bottom of my cup And how I wish that we could be sixteen again In my old man's car on the way to go swim

[@Peter-oh3hc]

"Discovered" willi Carlisle yesterday, which led me to Western AF. That lead me to an amazing group of musicians and songs. One of the best KZbin rabbit holes I have gone down in years. Love this song. Thanks

[@bgabriel6532]

I imagine you already know but if not, definitely check out Gems on VHS as well.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

@@bgabriel6532 thanks. I have seen one or two, but forgot about it. Appreciate the reminder

[@damntueton]

Truth. I'm on the same journey right now.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

@@damntueton enjoy. Haven't heard a bad song yet

[@Donniedarknutz]

This is the gold thatll save country..

[@WildwoodVagabond]

I had to pause the video at 1:39 because I broke down crying. This is my first time hearing you. I’ve heard sad songs before, but idk this is different. It’s beautiful. It’s tragic. It felt like a punch in my gut. You have a gift for storytelling and your sound reaches to the deepest of deeps. Keep up the good work

[@kesselrunheroj8497]

Hell of a good songwriter - next in a very exclusive line of country songwriters - Tyler is in rare air here

[@MrShazaamm]

A nice 70's sounding folk country

[@Blueqoose]

Hearts broken in two. I need more. 0:48

“Any 15 year old punk can play rock and roll. Country western takes real talent”- Unknown Hinson

[@jacobboylen]

sheesh. how can such a sad sad tune sound so great...

[@malekith77]

"And I Know Just like Everyone That it’s Hard to get Back on the Road once You’re Gone" Felt that. Thank you.

[@huntersimmons5454]

Well I didn't plan to be misty eyed but here we are, simple yet powerful

[@soulfuzz368]

Amazing how much is said with such simple words

[@AJ-tp2ho]

WONDERFUL VOICE i mss the old timy twang you have

[@revofife]

Mighty fine job Mr. Hood, mighty fine. Thank you...

[@jfergesq]

Love the song and music -Come play here in OHIO

[@NassiveMutts]

Excellent!

[@garageink74]

Jesus,that caught me off guard. I’ve got a lump in my throat now. Wow.

[@headbanger45o]

I listen to this song 5 times a day

[@joshtheplow]

Damn.. Every young mans worst fear.. I’m sure too many of us lost some friends in those young and wild years to very similar situations.. this one gave me those punched in gut feels, great stuff Tyler 👍🏻👍🏻

[@sarahh6062]

It’s a good nite when u open up KZbin and this song is the first thing to pop up 💕

[@cosmith19]

Beautiful. And tragic. Country music summed up right there.

[@connorjohn1984]

Damn. Felt that.

[@ndlykins]

Come back here monthly. This is one of my favorite songs of all time

[@daemonrowanchilde7221]

I often enjoy listening to “diamonds in the rough” like Tyler. I often prefer a raw but real presentation rather than a polished but empty one.

[@100prcntFLcracker]

Haunting. Echos of ghosts who will never be seen. Damn good song bro.

[@greenpastures2484]

What a marvelously written tune. You don’t get these songs very often anymore. At least not on the radio which I tend to avoid. Song writing ain’t for most people I’ll say that right now so please don’t ever feel like just have average talent. As far as I’m concerned your a modern legend already for this beautifully written song. Thanks for sharing this to the world. There’s a lot of hurt people out there that can find peace within this , so thank you again.

[@elizabethcrawford1414]

WesternAF produces the best videos! Love Tyler & his writing!
