A man on his deathbed reliving his life and feeling regret while experiencing peace... HOW THE F can Billy understand this at 28?!?! We are witnessing the next great American songwriter, Dylon, Petty status.... let alone one of the best pickers there ever has been. Can't wait to see you in Detroit man!! Thank you for this!
Ahmen to that! Isn’t it a privilege to feel less alone in a world that’s seemingly getting harder to understand every day. I feel like he’s said enough to keep me sane.
I understoodd that at 16 kids are smarter now days when it comes to knowing what we are feeling if i start singing the songs will be Appalachian blues that's all i know is the blues can't work or nothing definitely can't play the guitar like billy his song writing is not to far advanced for me by any means than again I'm bout to be 20
Damn this is a great song. Billy Strings just continues to amaze me. His talent is so complete, as an instrumentalist, a song writer and a singer. He is a true gift to the world.
Well there's nothing worse than feeling Like you're first in line for losing I thought my life was cruising then it crumbled all away I had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgotten Unnoticed like a stranger I'll surrender for the day Well this night was an illusion It came down like an intrusion I stay up through the night though I can't stand it sinking low I'm a witness to the fight between The darkness and the light You're a mean old world I'm leaving though I have no place to go You're a mean old world I'm leaving though I have no place to go This old world took me for a ride I lost everything I had and then my pride So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go And this old world she took me for a ride I was raised when I saw ugliness To try to make some beauty Found purpose in the duty when I couldn't find the shore What beauty couldn't lift just simply floated on adrift Rolling on directionless and lost forevermore It goes from bad to worse sometimes Before it can get better I string some words together and Just try to speak the truth I have a lot to get, I hope my lot will be forgiven Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you This old world took me for a ride I lost everything I had and then my pride So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go And this old world she took me for a ride When I lay my body down I'd like to Feel the dirt beneath me And the howling wind could sheath me and I'd finally be set free For a moment you can yawn and Throw my things into a pile My dawn is finally here and Yours might come in just a while My dawn is finally here and Yours might come in just a while This old world took me for a ride I lost everything I had and then my pride So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go And this old world she took me for a ride This old world she took me for a ride
To be fair, spending quality time with very old people and listening to them helps, but yes, Billy Strings is a truly great songwriter and picker. In my 70 years, I've never heard one better.
I'm sitting on my porch my best friend head is in my lap .We aren't queen just good buddies listening to billy tell it like it was.Preach Billy were listening.

Your damn right son

This time, you’re right
Understatement. He's better imo
I read through the comments and it almost brings tears to my eyes the people this song alone has touched.
Incredible feelings
"Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you" That's the line that got me. Good stuff.
One of the best songs probably ever written
Absolutely
Amen
Everyone who feels inclined to say something about this song-we are all blessed that he’s reached us with such a message.
I too, am on my way out. Was a fan of Bob Dylan and Billy is the greatest poet I have found since. This song is my request for my funeral!
Listen to For A Dancer by Jackson Browne
@@ellanjeranek173shit, all of Jackson's double acoustic album is amazing! In the top ten for me.
Damn this is a great song. Billy Strings just continues to amaze me. His talent is so complete, as an instrumentalist, a song writer and a singer. He is a true gift to the world.
I finally saw billy last year Boston he is a beast def go see him it will change your life
This album came at a perfect time for me. Thankful for all the beautiful art you make Billy. Keep doing your thing
Billy sounds like Doc, Rolls like Clarence, Accurate like Tony and I would be so honored to pick with him someday!!!!!
Billy makes me want to dance while I cry. Best therapy ever!
Absolutely, brother.
I second that emotion my friend.
Lol for sure , just lost my uncle to the kingdom of God and billy is therapy fo shizzle
@@matthewmorin1984 so sorry for your loss!
Same. Love you.✌️
"You're a mean old world I'm leaving though I have no place to go."
How I feel very frequently...
My absolute favorite song on this album, Love yall!!!!
Wow… another favorite. Your voice is unmatched. I love this whole album! ♥️ gorgeous
Honestly beautiful. I heard this on a cross country trip and am not familiar with this type of music. I love it.
Go see him live. Always a crowd full of love and pure happiness
This is a daily listener.✌🤍
Well there's nothing worse than feeling
Like you're first in line for losing
I thought my life was cruising then it crumbled all away
I had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgotten
Unnoticed like a stranger I'll surrender for the day
Well this night was an illusion
It came down like an intrusion
I stay up through the night though
I can't stand it sinking low
I'm a witness to the fight between
The darkness and the light
You're a mean old world I'm leaving though
I have no place to go
You're a mean old world I'm leaving though
I have no place to go
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
I was raised when I saw ugliness
To try to make some beauty
Found purpose in the duty when
I couldn't find the shore
What beauty couldn't lift just simply floated on adrift
Rolling on directionless and lost forevermore
It goes from bad to worse sometimes
Before it can get better
I string some words together and
Just try to speak the truth
I have a lot to get, I hope my lot will be forgiven
Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you
Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
When I lay my body down I'd like to
Feel the dirt beneath me
And the howling wind could sheath me and
I'd finally be set free
For a moment you can yawn and
Throw my things into a pile
My dawn is finally here and
Yours might come in just a while
My dawn is finally here and
Yours might come in just a while
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
This old world she took me for a ride
I was searching for the lyrics to this song; I’m about to write a sermon on life. On pride. This song is a sermon in itself.
You're flying child! Fine singing and playing from all of you.
Humanity must see the shadows and darkness to remember we are the Light!
Very true Mike

This song rings the hugest bell for me of all time.
