- now i don’t taste wine I can’t afford
i don’t listen to no one gettin paid
i don’t look up to bullies
i don’t play no games with spades
it’s a gamble enough
jus wakin up
for me
i dreamt we toured argentina
like some level on n64
i jus kept messsin up
havin to start over
the devil was the tm
he had horns that pointed down
i stole my buddy ted’s ford bronco
and wrecked it in the south
now he’s suing me for damages
others tried to talk em down
i can’t defend myself
i was high and leavin town
and now i don’t taste wine I can’t afford
i don’t listen to no one gettin paid
i don’t look up to bullies
i don’t play no games with spades
it’s a gamble enough
jus wakin up
for me
there’s a message in the sanskrit
relayed to me in greek
i’ll give u the translation:
the future’s lookin bleak
and if that’s the way that it is
then yes I am complainin
jus don’t piss down my back
and tell me that it’s rainin
don’t let em go tell u off
make u feel like a failure
there ain’t a damn thing wrong
with livin in a trailer
and now i don’t taste wine I can’t afford
i don’t listen to no one gettin paid
i don’t look up to bullies
i don’t play no games with spades
it’s a gamble enough
jus wakin up
for me
now what’s the point in winnin
when u had to pay to play
hell even i can get into baseball
when there’s money on the way
and i don’t like law enforcement
i knew summa them
in school
picked on
and
picked off
and
slow to grow
now they’re pointin the gun at you
and now i don’t taste wine I can’t afford
i don’t listen to no one gettin paid
i don’t look up to bullies
i don’t play no games with spades
it’s a gamble enough
jus wakin up
for me
"and i don’t like law enforcement, i knew summa them in school, picked on and picked off and slow to grow, now they’re pointin the gun at you"
Based.
yUP
What's wild to me is the fact I already know all your damn lyrics to each song I've played em that many times. That's how I know. It's a special feeling when a new artist grips it's audience.
I wish I could tell you face to face how much your songs mean to me. How much I relate. Fentanyl to Walmart, I feel you on a spiritual level. You get it, and I'd like to shake your hand. Thank you for your music, it helps me get through the next day
He is going on tour maybe he will be near you
Remember the good in life it can snap u back

My son said it's completely sold out. Good him ❤
"I don't like law enforcement, I knew some of them at school
Picked on and picked off and slow to grow, now they're pointing the gun at you"
Amen brother
This guy is just pumping out soul filled bangers on youtube live from the forest every few days. No labels or publicity, likes turned off, no corporate interests polluting the song, just pure connection with the muse like it used to be 👌
Your music hits me in the human part of my soul like I've never felt from music before. Your authenticity and integrity shines through, and it's god damn beautiful brother.
Listening to this stuff is deeply therapeutic, and I feel that real love coming from the universe listening to someone reach deep inside of themself and tell it how it is. It's very lonely keeping it real, and you're a shining beacon to all the real human being truth tellers.
Dont pis down my back and tell me its raining-
These are the lyrics we need!!
Sadly, there seems to be a many a folk this day and age that can't tell the difference between piss and rain.
I read an article about Jesse today, and the title was something along the lines of, " Jesse Welles is the Voice of America's Guilty Conscience. "
Well put. ❤
That’s really interesting. I’d love to read that article, but I’m in Australia. Can you share a link or something please?
I may just have to purchase the paid version of RUclips so I can listen to my Jesse playlist without pharmacy ads.
I have found that it is worth it. Once you don't have to deal with those interruptions, you can concentrate on the content. We have to pay one way or another. I do not work for these monsters. The bonus is watching the YT on a TV.
This aged great.
for jesse welles, RUclips premium is actually worth it
Or you could get the mp3 version of his album! Unfortunately that’s all that’s available.
But I’m here on YT (with premium) with you because I like these field recordings better.
@@neccowaif9 I completely agree on the field recordings sounding better. The Spotify version of "Fear is a Mind Killer" is not as good as the field recording and the lyrics are slightly different in both versions as well which I think is really cool.
This is absolutely incredible. I don't think people realize how good this is. This is just as good as Bob Dylan, Gene Clark, Nick Drake, and Elliot Smith.
We realize ☺️😁🤟
100%
Man I’d kill for Jesse to cover River Man
I think about these uploads the last few months now, time has flown by this year and those of us that tuned into this as it was happening are going to look back on it as a really important time in our life and music history. I know i will
I don't really like this type of music that much, like I'll listen to it once but I don't have it on repeat, if anything I liked Jesse old 90s sounding songs better on his other channel
That being said I ABSOLUTELY LOVE his sorta sarcastic songs and why I monitor this channel, fentanyl, fat, Olympics opening ceramony, the poor one I forget the name, those songs I can listen on repeat, can't wait for his next one
My friend is a big Bob Dylan fan but I can't get her to listen to these songs, I have a problem with people in my life not open to new music, my mom is the same way too
Just found you, so glad I did. Amazing lyrics and voice, please keep it up for those of us who feel the same but can’t write music to save our lives!
The best songwriters can paint a picture with words so well, they make you second-guess which lines might actually be autobiographical. Sometimes I believe that only someone who’s read/seen a lot can be this good with conveying the human spirit (i.e. putting themselves in someone else’s shoes). Jesse certainly seems to have this gift!
Your songs are literally my favorite thing to find in my RUclips feed. Whatever you put out whether it's original or cover just hits and pierces through the veil and resonates with me in a way I need. Appreciate what you're doing with your life. Just wanna let you know how much I appreciate you Jesse. Cheers Mate ❤
Same bro
I will be the first to admit that I have attention deficit disorder.. but if you wrote a song three days long I couldn't stop listening to it! You always have me on the edge of my seat wondering what you're going to say next! Keep doing what you do!
Same! I have trouble finishing shows and books but I have no problem listening to only Jesse Welles for weeks
A song 3 days long might have to be a song in itself!
I wanted to write you a song,
Of all the wild and crazy
things that you've done.
From eating a marshmallow pie,
To poking a whale in the eye.
This old song ended up being,
three whole entire days long.
(Sounded better in my head)
Lol
I do think this song is about one verse too long, but I'll still listen to it, just think it feels like it keeps going longer than it could lol also, wtf is he talking about in the first verses???
@@johnman84
Sounded great in my head when I read your song!
I do the same thing when I listen to music…but I’m hearing impaired so when I listen and then watch captions I realize it’s not what I originally heard.
It’s often comical…being in my own mind!😂
He’s got a song about your “disorder”
I would say this guy is a songwriting machine, but then again I’m yet to see a machine even being close to writing a song half as good as these
"Don't piss down my back and tell me that it's rainin' " 😂
My Grandpa said that...
my ears are sure happy every time i hear you sing a song, keep it up! you’ve got a wonderful talent :)
There is this guy, and there is everyone else. This dude is a winner.
EVERY TIME you post a new song TOTALLY makes my day and week!!! Thank you, Jesse!!
This is a great song. Great lyrics great guitaring,and clean harp playing. He is a talent.
I don't t know what it is but this man brings out the feels.. in every, single, song.
Love u stranger.
I’m laughing and crying at the same time. After all these years I’ve found my anthem.
This is literally the only channel I have notifications turned on for. And he Never. Once. Disappoints. These songs tug at you, they twist your guts, they pull your heartstrings and they very frequently kick you in the balls. I think all of those are needed sometimes
Jesse, your talent is astonishingly genuine. Thank you. Unpaid and on the house!
It's a gamble enough, just waking up, for me. Sing it brother
I haven't liked the blues for a long time. I love this tune. Thank you Jesse Welles.
I don't understand how this guy isn't already huge, but at least I know that he will be the king of rock once he owns all the guitars in the world. 😀
He’s doing pretty good on tiktok and is on iTunes but still I agree. He’s been on RUclips a while and Instagram but deserves way more recognition and attention. I can’t imagine he won’t get it soon tho :)
Tickets for Feb. 15 8n Durham, NC are $164.@@AshleySteelxxx
Man, this dude is rapid firing songs and every single one that comes just gets better and better, I want this man to have millions of people to listen to him istg😭😭
😮💨 “a msg in the Sanskrit relayed to me in Greek” Your music reminds me so much of someone who can’t play no more. Bless
A Welles spring of inspiration flowing.
Been following you since you first started releasing your own songs on youtube. Love mostly all of your stuff, like the rest very much. I gotta say this might be my favorite of them all.
Keep killin-' it, Mr.Welles.
You are KILLING it! Take it from this 73 yo lifer musician. You are the voice of the prophet singing in the wilderness… keep at it.
Can't br a prophet without calling out the children of the devil. That old brood of vipers. Those who are contrary to all mankind.
This may be a very big stretch but you remind me a lot of John prine with the well thought out lyrics/ storytelling and the perfect blend of simple rhythms yet charming at the same time keep up the work my man
Dude...Your music is a gift to all of us .... thanks man.
Please keep it coming
My faith in America restored! You are a national treasure
This is the most beautiful song ever written. You give hope to the hopeless, and courage to us old timers, that fought our whole life for what was right, like health and safety in death trap mines, like the peoples struggle against all forms of slavery. For labour unions against oppression. It thrills us old timers to hear fomeone of your generation exposing the crimed of the blood suckers. To YOU -Jesse❤❤❤❤
I wrote this for Every Grain of Sand. 😊😊😊It works here as well
Found mold in the wall of our double wide last night. Right by our bed. Looks like the husband going to bed with his hair wet has been getting behind the mattress. He has to shower at night, if you know what i mean, and he takes pride in having long hair. Adopted Native by whites and they kept it short all his childhood, so now he doesn't cut it. I wouldn't ask him to. I'll clean this wall forever, even if all I can afford is baking soda and vinegar. It truly is a gamble enough to wake up in this world. Needed some blues today. Thank you. 💙
Great song Jessie and thanks for posting the lyrics for guys like me with poor hearing. It really helps.
Lately your songs have been coinciding with the things going on in my life. Someone tried to get me to go to the casino today and I had to be firm with them and tell them I don’t gamble. So strange 😂
I got fired from and had charges pressed on me by Walmart, silly story, and like the next day Welles released 'Walmart' amazin'
@@AnarchyClaire The same day that song came out I decided to go get fruit from somewhere else because of what he said in that song about the fruit and I found a really nice place to get way better fruit and it didn’t have any weird taste to it.
My guy. I had no idea I struck gold. Thank you!
This guy is legit. Gonna be remembered as a great
listening to all the non album songs today,this one is a gem
My brother you are so wide awake, I love it
Oberst ref(erence)? :)
"I Don't Look up to Bullies 😂there aint a damn thing wrong ... "❤😊
Arlo? Arlo Guthrie? Keep it up sir..lots a people enjoyin your music..and your voice...few entertainers have a voice these days..if your catchin my drift. Carry on.
This might honestly be one of my favourites.
Here cuz under another song, you noted this one being your favorite of your songs!! So far... Keep on truckin' my inspiring young talented friend!!
Can't get enough. Genius. And I'm guessin" you don't like that word. I PROMISE I will never piss down your back and tell you that it's rainin'.
Absolutely cathartic, i feel so similar. I hope others find this. Thank you for sharing yet another well crafted piece.
Once again the greatest song writer now.
Hey jesse another great song my friend You most definitely have your finger on the pulse with what is happening in these crazy mixed up times and globally. I'm 55 and never seen the West in so much kaos another fantastic song in times where it's getting harder and harder to speak our minds Music and comedy has been the best way to fight back and wake people up from an induced slumber your mate from down under 🇦🇺 Stay strong and keep pushing the message because it's the right thing to do.By the way love your new Gibson you've used it in the last few song.
Your songs always have a way of finding me when they’re supposed to. ♥️🖤
Excellent Jesse. Please keep it real when you start making a lot of money, and you will.
The force is with you Jesse.
Brilliant. Now that’s truly raging against the machine!
I hope you take that gamble every morning for a long time Welles, it makes waking myself a safe bet! Much love from Belton Tx.❤
Just remember when you get people riled up so much and they critique you then you know you have actually put stuff in their brains they have to figure out and that means you have done a good thing.
Or people are naturally oppositional.
@@AwesomeSauce-ex3ok Ain't you saying the same thing, genius?
@ nope
Brilliant! You are very gifted and insightful; a true craftsman of song. Thank you for sharing your work 😊!!
It's so appropriate that because I don't pay for RUclips, ads come on when watching Jesse Welles videos. Political, medical, all the "als"... you name it... in so many songs. Thank you Jesse Welles !
blues in every pixel of this video
I grew up in a trailer park... dont piss down my back buddy.
Nice song anyhow. Keep doing you.
every song by this dude is goated
Been listening for a month or three I know, just another sad sack story but man I've been going through it and this song was released at the perfect time for me. Your Music has given me not only a release, but inspired me to pick back up the guitar and teach myself harmonica. Thank you for all of that bud keep being awesome 👌
You are a national treasure sir!
You are a great songwriter. And I'm a huge fan of Kris Kristofferson and Leonard Cohen.
Love the feeling you put to your words!!!
I know you have a lot to say and I can't wait to hear every bit of it!!!👍👂👂👏
"picked on
and
picked off
and
slow to grow
now they’re pointin the gun at you"
True true
Just don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining lol that's awesome
This fucking guy better keep waking up
I keep 🤔 nking he is singing to me!😊😊😊😊😊. We are on the same page of life😅😅😅😅😅
We got to take this guy to the top. Let hold him up for the world.
Please, let's not. Leave him the phuck alone.
I listened to a mix of his last going to sleep. Great music ❤
"I don't play no games with spades" is a clever reference to disowning TRUMP.
Thanks for not quitting!
Jesse that guitar is beautiful..... And, your voice is getting BIGGER every song comes out.
i never wouldve imagined it could get any better since i first heard you, God bless you
Do you know what model is it?
@@vincenzodaddy1223 L-00 Gibson?
@@chriscook8597 it's possible
I would love to see you tour Europe, the Irish and some Germans I know would love your stuff, Scottish, English and Welsh would all get with it.
*ahem* The Treaty of Windsor and the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance it enshrines clearly confer to Portugal the right to be considered in equal standing to our Insular brethren as tour destinations for once-in-a-generation folk musicians. Pretty please.
@@honestylowkeye1171 bro you have a way with words, Jesse should do a world tour.
Yes come to Wales 🏴
Teach & preach, Brother Jesse!! Use your gift & spread that truth! Much appreciation from the wilds of Northern Maine!
Sunday blues, perfect cap to a time of intense energetic yihaaa!
Thank you for such a strong song.
Loved the harmonica too, boosting the heart strings.
Definitely a great song writer.
Wow. The lyrics man. As always spitting facts. I love it so much
Its too late to give a Brand new song of yours my attention so i clicked to give you some algorithm djudju and will listen while fixing breakfast.
Keep being awesome dude, cant wait to hear it!
Good to see you again space cowboy.
You are my favorite artist
Keep up the good work Jesse.
Brother, you never cease to amaze. Ya give me hope man. 🙏
Like a bluesy John Prine. Love it!
Cutting through layers of bs with this.
Best songwriting and singing happening these days. Love, Buzz Buzzizyk
Nice tune, as I listen in my trailer. I'm living the American dream. Good luck Jesse i hope you have a good life.
Living in my trailer, but I don't owe money the bank.
@@jennywrensthreadnest Jesse says:"Ain't no shame in livin' in a trailer". Can't remember which song, but it's there.
I found you because someone said...
He's like John Prine incarnate. Not far off. Great Man! 🎼👍
My first thought on hearing his first song as well! This is the next John Prine!!
All aboard the Welles Express
That was a wonderful little blues song, loved it.
Writing such catchy songs is SO MUCH harder than learning to shred on guitar. Jesse is so much better than Bob Dylan it's not really comparable. That's just me, someone who's been shredding since the 90s.
he's a great songwriter hey
I love Jesse but I’m just not sure how anyone that’s listened to all of Dylan’s whole catalog could possibly think that but everyone is entitled to their opinion and music is subjective
better then bob dylan?? thats a reach. but yes jesse has talent
shoulders of giants and all that... why compare, I dunno
I relate to Jesse's lyrics and delivery way more than I do with Bob Dylans music. Dylan was great in his time, but now is Jesse's time, and I wish him all the success he deserves, in whatever form that takes for him.
Kid you are so flipping great
Thank you for reminding us
It is a risk to just live
I remember when u first released this on TikTok like a year ago been waiting for a full version since. Sounds amazing as always bro
"just don't piss down my back and tell me its rainin"
Here's one Argentinian fan of yours 🤘🏼🇦🇷
Doesnt get much bluer Jesse. Sour never tasted so sweet
Keep focusing seriously on music like this you may become one of the best musicians in history. Like I’m witnessing a young Bob Dylan/John Lennon
My phone was in the shop for a month.... the only thing I missed was Jesse Welles
Woohoo! First! love the music bro it hits the soul
Your eyes and smile are almost as mesmerizing as ur music ❤️
This song is so fugin real also Jesse if you see this if been listening to Welles and dead Indian recently and I love love love seventeen and set me free rock and roll is also such an amazing song please keep making music your an inspiration
Something very special is happening here 🖖🏼
