Me as a grumpy old man to my grandkids in year 2052: "Listen up you damn kids. Life aint fair... I'm still waiting for Sturgill to upload the YT version to Spotify."
I would argue that the studio kills his sound. I love every live version of his music. If the label or whoever would just record him and these guys playing it would be a hit
Never have I seen someone sing a song and be thoroughly convinced that the lyrics are genuinely from the heart what he believes! Look closely at the expression on his face when he sings the last, "...that's the way goes, life aint fair..." the expression on his face says it all!!!
We need a full raw, dirty, and gritty outlaw album from him like this, i know his past albums come close but i want the sound from this video into a full album
@@neilwilliams350 Tyler simply sees two sides of the coin. If you cant understand that shit then you are lost. I live in Minnesota and that shit is fucked up and cops have killed black people here for no reason. Nobody should have to live in fear because of their skin color.

@@musc1esman You can also make good music and take a stand for the wrong thing like Tyler Childers recently did. You can also shoot a basketball better than most and take a stand for the wrong thing (entire NBA). Bottom line, BLM is a self identified Marxist organization responsible for critical race theory bull $hit, and they should not be supported by anyone who loves this country. Statistics show more cops have been killed in the line of duty (protecting you) than unarmed blacks killed by cops. White men are actually more likely to be killed by cops than blacks. Simple facts. You and people like you, in this case Tyler Childers, are actually manipulated sheep believing emotional nonsense put out by the talking snake fake news media. To use your own words and add Tyler to it, "If you can't understand that shit then you AND Tyler Childers are lost!" All that said, I love Tyler's music and have been consuming it daily.

@@neilwilliams350 when I heard him start going down that path I stopped the video because I didn't want his dumbass politics ruining his music for me. Then the next day a friend of mine told me what he said in full, so I went back and listened to the video it in its entirety. I feel like you, as much as I love his music I can't support him like before.
I've NEVER, wished so hard for a song to not end, be longer, and have more verses. I literally cannot get enough of this sound with the lyrics!!!!! This song should be at the TOP of the country music charts with NOTHING even being close in 2nd!!!!! It's songs like this that have made me not even want to turn the radio on.
SO I HAVE GROWN UP AS COUNTRY AS A MAN CAN BE. I AM FROM ALABAMA. BORN AND RAISED. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SOUND. I ADMIT MY 18 YEAR OLD SON INTRODUCED ME TO THE SONG BECAUSE MY OPINION HAS BEEN THAT REAL COUNTRY HAD DIED. BUT IT'S NOT DEAD. ITS JUST NOT IN THE MAINSTREAM OR GETTING PLAYED ON THE RADIO LIKE IT DESERVES. GREAT SONG AND GREAT SOUND. WE NEED MORE!
Jeffrey Strickland I just mentioned this to another guys saying this version is better than the album. The Ranch plays this version for that very reason. RED DIRT BOY!
I have been listening to this man for 7+ years. Everyone's always saying he is channeling his inner "Waylon and Hank". I don't entirely disagree, but I hear ALOT of George Jones in his voice as well. That being said, Sturgill Simpson is the bridge to classic Outlaw Country music, for modern music lovers. I can't handle the radio pop country that we have been flooded with for over 20yrs. ..Sturgill, thank you my friend for restoring my country music ears. Much Love
Listen to some Texas Red Dirt country artists. Randy Rodgers, Stoney LaRue, Turnpike Troubadours, cross Canadian ragweed, etc. You'll find REAL country music alive and well between the red and rio grande rivers.
Move or you'll get pushed over Fluke Bryan and Florida-Georgia Crime because this is real country music! Sturgill and the boys here are bringing real country music back. No more bubble gum bro-country crap anymore! Mr. Simpson is the smartest and most talented man in country music today. And for that we thank you.
YE THANK YOU RAYMOND........IM SO LAD SOME OTHER FOLKS HAVE SOUNDED THEIR VOICE.......CMA.....HEY YOUR MEAL TICKET IS SPEAKING .....WEVE HAD ENOUGH DOC
LYRICS: Well that label man said son now can you sing a little bit more clear Said Your voice might be too country next to what they been hearin' Can you sing a little more about outlaws and the way things used to be Said you just worry about writin' them songs leave everything else to me Well my daddy never wrote any old famous country songs Papaw never stayed out raising hell with Haggard, Jones But he raised a proud coal miners daughter and I'm proud to be her son She told me boy I don't care if you hit it big, cause you’re already #1 That's the way it goes in this day and age Well you ain't gotta read between the lines now you just gotta turn the page Well the most outlaw thing that a man today can do is give woman a ring And the way it goes, life ain't fair and the world is mean Well I still got the wife and the dog but I swapped the truck out for a van Gonna hit the road find the end of that long white line with a three-piece band You won’t hear my song on the radio, see me on the CMA But you can always find me in a smokey bar with bad sound and a dim lit stage That's the way it goes in this day and age Well you ain't gotta read between the lines now you just gotta turn the page Well the most outlaw thing that I ever done was find a good woman give her a ring And the way it goes, life ain't fair and the world is mean
This man should make it big! What TRUE country tune he's got!! What's these new age country/pop got on this man!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your natural talent with the world!!
There aren't even any words to describe how good this is. 11 million views over the last 10 years.....a million of those are probably mine. Can't get enough.
Saw him live in Atlanta about a decade ago. He got sick right before the show but he let people come up on stage and help him out with each song. Never been to a show quite like that one. Had so much fun. He told everybody that when he came back to Atlanta everybody at the show would get in free.
How refreshing to see a young man singing country music that sounds like country music. This sounds like the country music I was raised on. He resembles other people but definitely has a style all his own.
Sturgill is #1 please keep outlaw country alive im a fan of a little over 10 years it dont get no better than what youll find right here. Thanks for all my listening amusement
Yep, that sentiment fits a lot of things in our lives and I wanna thank this young man for pointing out the obvious…….sometimes I need that and I take it wether I like it or not!……
He has stated multiple times he hates being compared to Waylon as while he is a fan of his music he wasn't a big inspiration to him. He has mentioned Merle Haggard and John Prine as his major influences.
Why is this version not on Spotify? Miles better than the original one
I COMPLETELY AGREE
Fr
Agreed
LIGHT YEARS better
@@TravisPrybylskicompletely different init, this has got a much better flow to it than the original and it definitely needs re recording
Why can’t the pimps in Nashville realize, THIS is the country music we want to hear.
My thoughts exactly
Guess it sadly doesnt bring in enough cash like the pop ”country” garbage does
Yeah that crap is more digestible to a broader audience
100% brother this is real country
Cuz it aint about whats real, friend. Its about money and retaining control of what by rights belongs to someone else.
Real Country ain't dead, they just quit playing it on the radio...
Trueeee😅
Exactly
gawd...dam
Couldn't agree more, my friend.
Great line!
I’ve never come across a song that needs to be put on Spotify so bad. So much better than the album version. Incredible
That is one of my top songs of all time. Awesome
Amen bro
I’ll sing the shit out this gem when I’m alone in the car I swear to sweet Jesus I sound like sturgill especially when go as loud as she can go😊
I wish he’d release this version I agree with the other comment this is way better than the album version, but…life ain’t fair and the world is mean lol
I agree!!!!
Hopefully it’s put on Spotify soon!
Me as a grumpy old man to my grandkids in year 2052:
"Listen up you damn kids. Life aint fair... I'm still waiting for Sturgill to upload the YT version to Spotify."
Same hahaha
I do that to my daughters now lol
It is a much better version on TH-cam in my opinion. the version on Spotify is to fast and doesn't have the same chugging guitar.
Still waiting.
@@brennanrobinson5055 i,m starting to loose hope
This dude is way better than anything on the radio .
You got that right!
Yes.
Sounds like bocephus in this song more than the others
This version is so much better than the album cut! Gritty, filthy, country. Love it!
Ted Jordan my country station plays this version instead of the album version.
Yess I was thinking the same thing!!
He just seems to put more emotion into it when he sang it here.
I would argue that the studio kills his sound. I love every live version of his music. If the label or whoever would just record him and these guys playing it would be a hit
3 years later and I think the bluegrass version is best
This man doesn’t get the recognition he deserves
I'm not sure he wants it. I think he just likes the music. He sorta tells everyone to piss off and leave him alone
@@2bitmarketanarchist337 ''What's a honky gotta do round here to get a little recognition'' I'm pretty sure he realizes
Because he doesn't wear a glitter shirt and dance around stage like a girl.

10000% agree
Absolutely agree!!
Please lord!
Bruh. I would be surprised if he ever released another album. His condition probably won’t allow him to sing anymore
@@emmarian1 what happend to him just finding out about him
People think they aren’t into country until they hear this
I just say I don't like country but I do like sturgill simpson
I literally can’t believe how good this song is
It’s perfect!
believe it !!!
It really is unbelievable.
Life ain't fair and his voice is mean
Life ain’t fair and the world needs more of this sound.
He's channeling Waylon hard. And I love it. Thank you Sturg for doing your part to keep country music alive!
Waylons guitar and Hanks voice I like it.
Nah definitely way more Waylon
He's tired of people comparing him to waylon but it's the truth
who wouldnt want to be compared to waylon!
All Waylon!! Love it!!
Jamie Johnson woke me up from my country nap. Sturgill just slapped me in the face. Awesome.
+Jeff Cantleberry This is one of the best comments i have ever read.
+Hayes Dennis not yet, but I'll have to check him out. thanks!
+Jeff Cantleberry More liked kicked me in the nuts. Thanks to Mojo Nixon and Joe Rogan.
We should grab a beer together.
Work some Colter Wall and Tyler Childers in that mix for more good times!
Heard this on Tiktok and swore it was an old Hank Jr. song. This is incredible man. Keep on keepin country alive
I heard it on an ad on Instagram and I honestly thought it was Hank jr lol
Walon Jennings mixed with Hank jr no
Still listening in 2024??
Amen
Yep
Hell yah
You gd right brother
Yessir brother
I was turned on to Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers today by my son........I knew that boy was on the right path

Sameeee
This is 20x better than any "country" hit thats been released recently.
That's cause today's radio shit sucks.
The album cut isn't as good as this version. (My guess why you aren't hearing it more). The album cut is faster and has a different vibe.

only a few newer artists doing Real country these days, its a shame, but it makes them all that more awesome. im glad i found sturgill!
It's REAL country.
Sounds incredible! Like Cash, Waylon & Hank all in one! This needs to be #1!!! Real country!!!
Just what I was going to say
Even Sturgill couldn’t keep making this kind of music
Thank God real country is still out there keep it coming boys we need more of this!
Damn, is that Waylon in carnation.? Hpe you take that as a compliment.
Waylon quit rollin in his grave for a sec when he heard this. Keep fishin y'all
This is the only young up and coming guy the late great Merle Haggard gave any credence to before he recently passed away
The guitar lines are so good. Not overproduced pop country
LYRICS:
Well that label man said son now can you sing a little bit more clear
Said Your voice might be too country next to what they been hearin'
Can you sing a little more about outlaws and the way things used to be
Said you just worry about writin' them songs leave everything else to me
Well my daddy never wrote any old famous country songs
Papaw never stayed out raising hell with Haggard, Jones
But he raised a proud coal miners daughter and I'm proud to be her son
She told me boy I don't care if you hit it big, cause you’re already #1
That's the way it goes in this day and age
Well you ain't gotta read between the lines now you just gotta turn the page
Well the most outlaw thing that a man today can do is give woman a ring
And the way it goes, life ain't fair and the world is mean
Well I still got the wife and the dog but I swapped the truck out for a van
Gonna hit the road find the end of that long white line with a three-piece band
You won’t hear my song on the radio, see me on the CMA
But you can always find me in a smokey bar with bad sound and a dim lit stage
That's the way it goes in this day and age
Well you ain't gotta read between the lines now you just gotta turn the page
Well the most outlaw thing that I ever done was find a good woman give her a ring
And the way it goes, life ain't fair and the world is mean
Hero ❤
They need to pin these to the top 😂
He’s got that classic Cash guitar lick. LOVE it
I don't always listen to Sturgill Simpson. But when I do, so do my neighbors.

On one end of the spectrum, you have Florida Georgia Line and Kane Brown, on the other end, you have Sturgill Simpson and Waylon Jennings.
As a Mexican American this is Hands down my favorite Sturgill song. The executives need to take notes because this is the type of music we all want.
A return to "True Country". And thank God for it. The shit they try to pass off on the radio is a joke.
All the Good ol outlaws are probably smiling having a good time listening to this song right now
I swear to god he’s the definition of what the true outlaws want for music again
This man is proof we can bring it back
This song is amazing. So glad he was on Joe Rogan's podcast or I would have never known he existed.
Sturgil writes, sings and plays exceptionally well. I consider him to be a modern superstar of American music.
Best version there is. Part of why I have TH-cam premium. So many versions of songs you can't find anywhere else. This is just so good.
This man should make it big! What TRUE country tune he's got!! What's these new age country/pop got on this man!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your natural talent with the world!!

As much of a country fan i am, i can't believe i just discovered Sturgill Simpson today like wtf. I'm disappointed in myself 😂
Me too.
Imagine if you hadn’t? 🙂🙂
Be disappointed in mainstream media. They let you down. However, I'm happy you found Sturgil and that tune is just one of many good ones.

crazy that I started listening to this over two years ago and I'm still not sick of it!!
My god the guy has gave me chills for two songs straight
This version has to be released!!!

So much soul. Top tier country music. Doesn’t get much better.
Country music is alive, thank god.
11 years and I just found this guy. Wow. Dude is amazing
Its great to hear someone is keeping outlaw music alive.
This is peak country. I miss real country music, hate pop country but this is legit and awesome.

I swear to God. You sound like Waylon Jennings. Trust me . I love THIS.
This song always puts me in a good mood. Can listen this song over and over!!
I could listen to this song on repeat for days and days and days....
12 years later and still singing the shit outta this tune!!! 💯💎💪
Yep, that sentiment fits a lot of things in our lives and I wanna thank this young man for pointing out the obvious…….sometimes I need that and I take it wether I like it or not!……

Good God that guitar work at 0:10 👌
This song rips. Such a bop. One of my fav country jams of all time hands down
This man kills it, and is keeping country the way it needs to stay.
Love this version, sounds so much better than the albums.
I have rocked this song more times in the last month than I care to even count... Mad respect to you and your band Mr. Simpson!
What rock have I been under for the past 8 years? This is the sound country has missed for the past 40 years!!! Waylon would be proud for sure.
