    BAG OF PILLS (LYRICS)
    You want it
    I can feel it
    Got a bag of pills I’ve been dealing
    So I can take you drinking
    Don’t tell me
    About a love thing
    We’ll get high and talk until morning
    Then you can catch me sleeping
    And all I need now I don’t want
    And all I’ve loved now it’s all gone
    To my head
    Hell Jesus
    Can you save me
    Didn’t think so guess that you’re busy
    Well I guess we’re all busy
    Cause I remember when you told me
    if I believed I’d never be lonely
    Now I know you were lying
    And all I need now I don’t want
    And all I’ve love now it’s all gone
    To my head
    And life I don’t want it
    If it’s so easy to die
    And life I don’t want it
    If it’s so easy to die
    And life I don’t want it
    If it’s so easy to die
    You want it I can feel it
    Got a bag of pills I’ve been dealing
    So I can take you drinking
    An Ohio singer/songwriter with a soulful, rootsy blend of country, rock, and folk, Arlo McKinley debuted in 2014 with his self-titled album. In 2020, he came to wider public attention with Die Midwestern, released on the late John Prine's Oh Boy label. Two years later, he issued This Mess We're In.
    Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, McKinley first began singing at age eight in the choir at his family's Baptist church. Growing up, he imbibed his Kentucky-born father's LPs, listening to artists like Hank Williams and George Jones, as well as Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and Van Morrison. By his teens, he was playing guitar and singing in punk bands. However, in his twenties he began writing his own songs, gravitating toward rootsy country and soul sounds, mixing it with his varied rock influences. A troubled period involving drugs waylaid his career and found him moving away from music. For several years, he drove a truck delivering tuxedos between Cincinnati and Detroit. He eventually returned to songwriting and in 2014 released his debut album, Arlo McKinley & the Lonesome Sound. Hitting the road, he gained wider attention touring alongside roots luminaries like Tyler Childers, John Moreland, Jason Isbell, and Justin Townes Earle. In March 2020, he became the final artist signed by legendary singer/songwriter John Prine's Oh Boy Records label just before Prine's death that April. In August 2020, McKinley released his sophomore album and Oh Boy debut, Die Midwestern, recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio with Grammy-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang. 2022 saw the release of McKinley's third long-player, the inward-looking This Mess We're In.

      i love sturgill, but he doesnt belong in the conversation anymore. hes done with country music. i appreciate everything he has given us, and hes certainly free to move on, but it doesnt sound like we will get another country album out of him anytime soon. Although, i really enjoyed his last album, even with zero country music on it.

    This is the track I've been most excited about ever since the new album was originally announced. The Somer Sessions video was the first time I heard Arlo and became an instant favorite. It has stayed in steady rotation for the past couple of years. I love this studio version. The addition of the piano on the chorus is absolutely amazing. I do miss the Sturgill Simpson shirt by Maarten Donders, though lol. Thank you, Arlo, for making my day for, at least, the hundredth time.

    Then a few years ago I saw the video for "Turtles All the Way Down" and I absolutely fell in love with Sturgill Simpson's music.
    Last week I saw THIS video, and I swear Arlo has been the only thing in rotation for me ever since!

    This is a fucking PERFECT song, and as much as I love all kinds of music, there aren't too many songs out there that I would describe as perfect.
    The same four lines used at the beginning take on a whole new meaning when they're repeated at the end. And the journey you go on from one bag of pills to the other is absolutely MASTERFULLY crafted. Kudos, my man. That right there was ART.
