🎤 Lyrics: Tyler Childers - Long Violent History
It’s the worst that it’s been since the last time it happened
It’s happening again right in front of our eyes
There’s updated footage, wild speculation,
Tall tales, and hearsay, and absolute lies
Being passed off as factual
When actually the actual
Cause is there awkwardly blocking the way
Keeping us all from enjoying our evening
Shoving its roots through the screens in our face
Now what would you get if you heard my opinion
Conjecturin’ on matters that I ain’t never dreamed
In all my born days as a white boy from Hickman
Based on the way that the world’s been to me
It’s called me belligerent,
It’s took me for ignorant
But it ain’t never once made me scared just to be
Could you imagine just constantly worrying
Kicking, and fighting, and begging to breathe
How many boys could they haul off this mountain
Shoot full of holes cuffed and laying in the streets
‘Till we’d come into town in a stark ravin’ anger
Looking for answers and armed to the teeth,
With thirty-aught-sixes,
And Papaw’s old pistol.
How many you reckon?
Would it be four or five?
Or would that be the start of a long violent history
of tucking our tails as we try to abide?
Or would that be the start of a long violent history
of tucking our tails as we try to abide?

![[UNCUT]"ตุลามรณะ"ย้อนฟังคำทำนาย หมอดูทุกสาย ดวงเมืองร้อน (หมอปลาย ฟองสนาน อ.โอเล่)I คนดังนั่งเคลียร์](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lE5az5VvT9M/mqdefault.jpg)
With this surprise track, Tyler Childers offers his always sharp, insightful commentary and a plea for empathy, as he stands in solidarity with those fighting for racial equality.
*Question of the day:* How are you?
I am great . What about you ?
I'm doing well, can't complain! 😊
Doing okay, tired though
Is that why he sounds like Midwest emo with a banjo
@@Chamomile369 no.
As a black man growing up all up and down the Eastside of America, mostly in the south..I can't find the words to explain how deeply this song makes my soul weep. I JUST WANT YALL TO KNOW, it's nice some of yall hear us, to know some of yall understand or at least try to. I can't wait to show my family and friends that we have moral support like this. THANK YOU.
Im behind you man. God bless you and your family. Im proud and white, but I'm even prouder you're here, in America, exercising your right to live, and protest. BLACK LIVES MATTER
I hope you inderstand that not all those against BLM and the false racial narrative are for neglecting to support the cause against real injustice. You likely don't.
I'm sorry, seriously granted my ancesters didn't come from American but from Croatia in the 60's but still I'm sorry man some white folk suck hard.
I think some know hardship better than others caused they live it. No matter how much one read and study these issues, they just won’t and can’t understand. Even the individual that have been through it can’t relate to others cause each experience is different in some way. I’m not black so I can relate and won’t pretend to. I only know poor is poor and hates hate, all of which is color blind.
☮️💜☮️💜☮️
Used to love Tyler, thought he was an amazing musician. But after dropping this I have gained so much more respect for him, an absolute legend.
You had us in the first half, not gonna lie 😂❤

@Nicholas Payne The truth about what? Lmfao the fact that police brutality has never went away? Or that you're okay with their overreach of power but not the government (who they work for).
@Nicholas Payne Defense of injustice won't garner protection from it.
It has had exactly the opposite effect on me. To be expected, it's a divisive message with plenty to disagree with for various reasons.
People forget that some of their country music heroes were badass civil rights activist. Johnny Cash prison tour was for prison reform. Much respect for Tyler
Johnny Cash, Woodie Guthrie, and Johnny Paycheck would be rolling in their graves if they saw how reactionary ideas have been infiltrating country music
"how many boys could they haul off this mountain?"
f.cks me up every time
It's such a powerful line, and how it's emphasized by the violin being the only instrument playing when he sings that line makes it hit even harder emotionally.
Remember Blair Mountain and the Coal Wars, people, it was us at one point. We need to stand with our brothers and sisters of other races against oppression and authority. Imagine uniting the entire country together, from the urban dwellers to holler dwellers, against those who wish to do harm to good working people. A united fight against brutality. Bring back the Appalachians that used to be, not the cowards that back the blue.
Hmmm. I choose to stand with Cannon Hinnant, Lucia Bremer, Cash Gernon, Victoria Smith, Tessa Majors and thousands of other victims of savagery and savages.
Once we unite there will be no oppressor. Who would dare?
@@DBMac-ji7fr It is possible to both stand with workers and with murder victims. I'm not sure why you're acting as though these are mutually exclusive?
@@joycechappell1315 The oppressors would dare. They will send the army, simple as that. It's not just about uniting, it's also about fighing. The revolution will be bloody, but there's no ther way around.
Telling my son this was Mao Zedong
Tyler Childers is a fucking national treasure.
Load of bullshit. Don’t break the law, don’t get fucked
@@1978DirtyD absolutely but that’s not what he’s saying all he’s talking about is listening, and besides you never broke a law in your life? Not one ? Cast the first stone then brother.
@@1978DirtyD I'm not even going to bother to pretend you don't know how bullshit your argument is. Most of the black people killed by police *were complying*. Even if they weren't, that's not the point. People shouldn't get killed by cops when it isn't necessary. I hope you enjoy the taste of those fascist boots you're licking.
@@1978DirtyD I’m pretty sure just breaking the law shouldn’t be met with “get fucked” but rather maybe they have their day in court. That’s just my opinion tho.. 🥱
@Alien2001 Right On, Nailed It ... the BLM movement needs to focus on recent racial injustice which centers around the "WAR ON DRUGS" and its toll it has taken on their communities especially since the 1990s
This shit gives me chills every time i hear it. Childers is what country music should be

Wanted to like but it's at 69 lol

The opposite, actually.
Two years later and it's still the best contemporary commentary on society.
Scotland here, and Tyler Childers is one of the most talented singer/songwriters I've ever came across… and from an outsider perspective, it’s clear that this man is a good human being.
I’ve listened to this song many times and I can’t hear any preaching, or blaming or dividing… It’s just saying that we should take a step back and ask ourselves ‘do we treat people the way we want to be treated’… regardless of media gossip, race, religion, political persuasion, colour or creed.
Tyler Childers is a good egg… and you’re lucky to have him America.
Fun fact: the Scottish highlands and the Appalachian mountains were once apart of the same mountain range.
Which is mighty odd considering how many Scottish folks ended up immigrating there.
Like a little connection between two countries separated by a vast ocean
I know if it happened to me and mine I’d fight like hell. He’s right. It’s time we stood together as one. Thank you Tyler, and god bless you and yours
good thing that's not happening to anyone

So courageous he even disabled the comments to his accompanying narrative.
@@K31swiss his chilling in the Kentucky mountains making more music while you sit there bitching and moaning because he has a different opinion.
@@K31swiss he didn’t disable them they were available for a whole TH-cam did it because you foul creatures can’t abide by guidelines.
No one’s telling him to sit down, just pointing out that he’s wrong 🤷🏻♂️
Never heard this song before today, but I absolutely love it. And for those of you in the comment section that stand in solidarity and support, THANK YOU from the depths of my soul. I'd gladly sit in the backyard with you and drink a cold one or stand arm in arm with you fighting until the last.
Never heard about this but that bullshit Richmen north of richmond is viral, praised by the oppressors; that has to tell us something.
Tyler Childers is the song writer country has needed for so long. Yes we have heard every version of growing up dirt poor or loosing your love. It is refreshing to see something deeper growing in country music. I think if given a chance this is how country goes mainstream.
I am looking forward to much more social comment by Tyler Childers so many other music forms have become so trite who would have thought that country music might start a music renaissance?
One of the most important songs of the 21st century, by one of the great songwriters from any century.
Bless you, Tyler, for not being afraid to speak your/our truth
Fred Hampton, Bobby Seales, and Huey P. Newton would be down with this song, word-for-word.
The irony of this isn’t lost on me a bit. God I just love him.
remember if you have a dream if you have all the money in the world . you just buy it . lol there never satisficed with no dream

This is what has people up in arms? This was wonderful and honest.
Despite calling everyone snowflakes they get mad over the simplest things
You sir are wise beyond your years. You have a clear message for those of us with clear heads. When I fought in Vietnam I never dreamed that I one day I would see my country in this shape. Spread your message.
I love this. It's so raw, it's hits so hard. This is the kind of narrative excellence that, at least in my opinion, mainstream country has been missing.
thank you tyler
Man, im a white guy watching this from Canada and really feeling solidarity with all the brothers and sisters south of the border. We love Tyler up here, I think he's a pinnacle of what the southern American mantra should be all about.
It's good to hear someone from the rural community sing the truth.
Which truth? That all white people are bad?
Amen to this song! Should be heard every where!
The first time I listened to this song it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Tyler for being such an empathetic and caring individual even when it goes against how people think you should be.
Me. Too.

This comment section passed the vibe check. Yall are awesome❤
I can't get through this song without angry crying. Just an incredibly powerful song with a message we could all stand to hear.
Didn't think I could love him any more.... then he went and did this.
And where did we end up? How did anything matter. It didn't. It doesn't. Fine tunes and words that hollow ring empty to the sky
Beautifuly spoken
This sums it all up: No matter who you are, tip your hat as we walk by each other. If I slip and fall, help me up. I’ll do the same.
Just think if you were in another mans shoes. This is an awesome song and I for one will share it with all the people I know. Thank You Tyler for an honest song that make me think of others.

Maybe it helps to be from Appalachia to understand your music. I love it. It sounds like what my uncles used to play of an evening sittin' and pickin' on the porch.
I think it does. I was born and raised in Georgia and live in East Tennessee now and when I hear Tyler I get it, but my friends that ain't from around here act like he's speaking a different language.
Maybe. But I'm a Californian, born and raised, and I love this entire CD. 8 or so fantastic Appalachian fiddle tunes, and then this. My grandparents came from western VA, but they left in 1908 so I don't really have any roots there.
It takes me back to my childhood family reunions...
I'm from NY not NYC, transplanted to North East PA. I think Tyler is an amazing story teller, the music is exactly what it needs to be behind his amazing lyrics. You don't need to be from anywhere to get it. You just need to have a soul.
I'm not anywhere near there and this song gives me absolute chills
As someone from his area of KY I couldn't be more proud.
Pulaski Co. here...
Wife's from Floyd county.
Tyler.......you have no right to be this good. I mean that as the highest compliment I can make as a man about other human being. I used to look a country music as the music of the people who hated me. I could not be more wrong. I apologize sincerely to all people for this ignorance. Tyler Childers MOVES me toward being a better man by having a better understanding of people in general and the people of the Appalachians in particular.
Thank you Tyler....
Very well said my friend, he is amazing
I just learned about Tyler Childers a few days ago due to all the controversy. He's really amazing. I loved country music as a child and teenager, but I stopped listening due to new country being kind of terrible. Most modern country is really superficial and doesn't really carry a good message.Tyler is great, though. We need more songs like this in modern country.
God bless Mr. Childers. Voice gives me goosebumps like Hank Williams Sr. Used to.
Somebody had to say it. At least it was a ky boy. I'm proud of you.
Agreed, couldn't be more proud of this man. I keep this song blasting on my speakers
pathetic lies
I alredy thought you were amazing and was so proud you are a fellow Kentuckian, but I am so much prouder now. Thank you, people needed to hear this.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music
You know who wouldn’t make a song and a MOTHERFUCKING video about standing up for our brothers and sisters of color and coming together for justice?! Jason Aldean. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on! You’re an absolute LEGEND Tyler and we love you for being you!
This song is powerful as fck, grew up in Cut and Shoot, tx, and your explanation of how you grew up vs how you think now is just a perfect.
This track heals my heart. It makes me proud of my people--all of you here who feel this resonate. I'm not from Appalachia tho i lived there for a time and lost my little heart to WV, but i grew up miles from paved roads all over the country ... dirt poor, dirt white, dirt educated... and folk... the naked, hair let down truth and purity of our music, is sacred to me. Too often it's commandeered by those caught up in the rhetoric who forget that our music is about relentless honesty because it's about us! Our songs are the raw hymns of our existence ... our love, our fight, our sorrows and our truth but also our untamed beauty. That beauty should always be grounded in our refusal to ever be like those who would exploit us and tread us under foot. We should never want our turn with the stick, our turn to kick those, who even moreso than us, have been kicked around. We should proudly see ourselves in them, our fight in theirs, and be proud to stand strong with the beautiful plight of anyone who refuses to abide.
I was a fan long before his track. But this track brought tears to my eyes. And made me a bigger fan of the man that can feel such things.
Damn right, brother 🤝
Tyler Childers for President 2024!
Oh man, that hits hard...that's some Johnny Cash level stuff right there. I love it.
Johnny Cash was great, but not great like this.

@@tylerchilders8336 Thank you for your reply, kind sir 🙃😉 I also want to thank you for your song "Follow You to Virgie". I won't bore you with the details of why it is such a personal song to me, but I will say that it held my hand through one of the most painful events of my life. What a special gift you have to make a stranger feel as if you wrote lyrics specifically for that individual. So, you keep writing and singing, and you will most definitely have my continued support. 💙💜
I think if everybody listened to this and his message about the album every once in a while we’d ALL be a lot better off.
A true Appalachian man.
Imagine if we were all in a circle and threw our problems on the ground. Then we’re told to pick them up, but you get others problems. How would we look at things then? Our problems might not be so bad
Tyler > everything
To me, this song is about people, not race. I'm a white man and this song reminds me of how our family was treated as poor people growing up. As humans, we have failed on recognizing one another for what we are, not what category society tries to put us in. My Dad always said, to put yourself in another man's shoes before you open your mouth. Great song
Your dad is a wise man and a good man.
Bingo!
It always surprises me to see poor while folks unable to empathize with injustice and mistreatment, especially within our legal system. Martin Luther King Jr tried to open people’s eyes to race and class issues, but the message got muddied with cherry picked quotes
Unique way to look at it, but thank you.
We are fucking waking up!
Man knows his labor history and it shows.
Can't say that I agree with every single verse in this but have the absolute and UTMOST respect for a thoughtful man who is not afraid to speak his mind, put himself in another's shoes, knowing he will catch flack for it. In the long run, as Red Green says "we're all in this together". Loving Tyler's music for the last 5 years and expect to for the next 10 ... at least.
Yeah i think there are claims in this song that with context and nuance most would find hyperbolic or simply untrue.That being said the way in which he writes is in my opinion leagues ahead of any writers i know.
I feel the same as I don't agree with a couple verses but the overall message is I think is great and needed these days.
Thank you for having the intellect to be able to only partially agree with someone and not freak out. Few other people in the comments ought to take notes.
@@pm4813 sadly it seems the ability to not just outright hate someone for not entirely agreeing with them is becoming rarer and rarer these days

I Am In Total Agreement With You Mr. Childers 💯
Congratulations on Your Sobriety Sir🙏🏻
This is the best thing I've heard in a long time. From chills to tears this piece is impossibly powerful.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank you Tyler Childers. You are a good human.
Thank you! We need more people like you! People like you that have the courage to say this is a "WE PROBLEM" AND NOT JUST A "YOU PROBLEM!"
The begging to be allowed to breathe is one of the most blood chilling specters of what is supposed to be a modern evolved society. Just heartbreaking, soul crushing, reality some of our compatriots and neighbors face daily. Fight the decay, embrace healing in anyway you can conceive. Thank you for helping to move the wheel in the right direction.
This is what the saints will be playin on that march
This gave me a jolt the first time I heard it. What a precise and candid perspective. Tyler delivers an indisputable message with masterful artistry. I love this guy.

Black Lives Matter is not about the organization. Its this! This is what I try to explain to people. How many will it take for it to not be ok anymore? This man gets it. God bless him
Thank you... Just... thank you!!
This is GOLD folks. As a white boy hailing from Harlan County, I remember the unions and the good many democrats and/or union supporters that lived there. My point is, us poor white Appalachian boys and girls aught to be walking side by side with black folks who have be forgotten just like us. Keep in mind... those who support and say Black Lives Matter, isn't saying everyone else doesn't. They're saying the law and the government won't screw with us hillbillies bc we'll fight back. Like at Blair Mtn, Harlan County, and others. The blm movement is a stepping stone to where and what we've done and have been. We should be behind and beside them folks while they do this. God bless you @TylerChilders, and God bless Harlan and the rest of Appalachia.
What country music should be.
Anyone remember Bob Dylan, “Blownin in the wind”? Then go find video of Stevie Wonder intro the song and sing it at Dylan’s 30th Anniversary.
Each generation has timely impact on the human condition as we evolve, but what’s blowin in the wind is the ugly past with a UHC brighter future, generation to generation. I can’t speak for others nor speak for relatives I would disown if I knew them. As Dylan said, “The answer my friend, is Blowin in the wind….” And if your not familiar with this song or many Dylan sounds that like Childers articulates from his eyes, our generation, Dylan articulated in 1968, in extremely violent times in US History, “How many years can some people exist, before they’re allowed to be free….” How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry….”
Childers, I put you in the songwriters class with Dylan, and never hold back your lyric of thought. Keep writing like the great did….peace.
It will be more than four or five!!!! Thanks for this Tyler.
damn tyler i get it thumbs up from western ky
This boy who plays a fiddle is a dang American Hero. He ain't the only one but he is.

Kicking, and fighting, and begging to breathe
How many boys could they haul off this mountain
Shoot full of holes cuffed and laying in the streets
‘Till we’d come into town in a stark ravin’ anger
Looking for answers and armed to the teeth,
With thirty-aught-sixes,
And Papaw’s old pistol.
How many you reckon?

Songwriter: Tyler Childers
Producers: Tyler Childers and Jesse Wells
Had to watch a few times before I good do it without tears in my eyes.
Never thought I'd dislike a Tyler song
Bryan Garris of Knocked Loose brought me here and i will stay
Thank Tyler
Brings tears to my eyes.... i’ve heard a lot of people around my area talk negatively about you because of this song and your video regarding what this song is about and the album in general.... to those people I say that I hope they see the light soon because this is nothing but beautiful and righteous and I hope that the issues at hand are justified sooner than later
@Tyler Childers You have created a powerful, illuminating, empathetic album. And people are emotional about it... and they are discussing it. And that is the mark of a true artist. There's an old vid on YT of the Black Panthers meeting with the Young Patriots (Appalachian folk who migrated north to Chicago). The clip shows the unity and common cause the groups shared as they fought poverty and discrimination. Their challenge was to see if disenfranchised whites could throw off the shackles of racism and struggle alongside black and brown people to create a new society. It's a lost chapter in our "America History." But perhaps one that people such as yourself can help us rediscover. To move toward. Be well in the new year. And thank you for your work.
That’s a coalition Jesse Jackson tried to put together when he was running for President many years ago. That’s what the Rainbow Coalition was.
The thing that George Floyd unintentionally accomplished was to prove to people graphically that Black people were not exaggerating about their treatment at the hands of police. Whether or not White Americans are racist we don’t like to think of ourselves that way, and the way many of us managed to reconcile our political positions with what Black people have been encountering is to simply deny that they were encountering it. That got harder and harder to do from Trayvon on, there were people making excuses for the police in every crazy case, but when this one hit there were no excuses left and suddenly most Republicans believed that we had a national problem with police brutality toward Black people.
I thank Mr. Childers for stating so baldly that the Black reaction is reasonable; it’s Black circumstances that aren’t. If All Lives Mattered we wouldn’t have to say that Black Lives Matter; that would be redundant, but it isn’t, and that’s why Mr. Childers wrote this song.
“Or would that be the start of a long violent history
Of tucking our tails as we try to abide?”
Say it again, Tyler!
That verse hit like a ton of bricks
Love Tyler Childers!!!!

Try That In A Small Town at least tells the truth.
