About Tyler Childers:
Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky is a little town called, Paintsville, where the economy is dependent on the dying coal industry and a tradition of music thrives with the US 23 Country Music Highway Museum and Butcher Hollow. Carrying on the music tradition is native son and current Lexington, Kentucky resident, Tyler Childers.
Paintsville is located in the Big Sandy River Valley of Johnson County in Eastern Kentucky made famous for its lawlessness, religion, and booze, and a song about a horse thief, a rambling man, and an attempt to gain some good ol’ Appalachian self-justice is what “William Hill” is all about. Following his “Papaw” around to the Kentucky social institutions - church events and barber shops to name a few- as well as a lot of coon hunting with his dad, Tyler has heard a tale or two about the misadventures of a few good ol’ boys and he gives his own spin of these accounts behind a whisky-soaked voice well beyond his young age.

Lyrics:
Daddy worked like a mule mining pike county coal
He fucked up his back he couldn't work anymore
He said one of these days you'll get out of these hills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
See the ways of this world just to bring you to tears
Keep the lord in your heart you'll have nothing to fear
Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steel
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Well daddy I've been trying i just can't catch a break
Theirs too much in this world that i can't seem to shake
But i remember your words lord they bring me to chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Keep in mind that a mans just as good as his word
It takes twice as long to build bridges you burn
And there is hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills

Is this session available for purchase on CD?
I'm hoping me and my daughter can cover this song personally I like white house road a little better this one has hammer ons that are cool and to sing it in that key requires a capo when I was younger I didn't think i needed one but for songs like Wonderwall and Landslide or even Brian Adam's run to you
There’s pop radio country 🤢the there’s THIS, real country. This is what they meant by real country.
@@jamierick674 we haven’t been asked that before I don’t think but it’s on Bandcamp for download if that helps and that could he put on a CD I would think
It's true, this is the country my Dad raised me on and really reminds me of both of us😢❤
I had this song on repeat in rehab and early recovery, it's gotten me through alot to say the least! Almost 7 months opiate free.... thanks Tyler
Keep strong
Keep that shit far from you. You need just yourself. Focus on what you like. Focus on the better man you can be.
Sep 3 I took my LAST dose of methadone. Time to walk the dog on this life. Congratulations. Not a better feel than betting something you thought was undefeateable.
@Big Hush that's awesome, pulling for you man. Stay strong
I been a few years from oxy. Turned to likker. Sucks Back pain and three surgeries.
"Daddy I been tryin', I just can't catch a break...." Man that line hits me right in the feels. This is what music is supposed to be.
Hits me hard
That line still hits me hard. I lost my dad two weeks ago and now it brings me to tears every time.
Amen Brother
Found out a month ago my old man had a tumor in his urinary tract. They scheduled surgery end of the month to remove it and had a follow up appointment yesterday to see how things were. Sister called me last night with vague info about bladder cancer and needing seven more surgeries and chemo over the next three years.
Life has given me gut punch after gut punch but I don’t know what I’ll do without my old man.
This line definitely brought tears to my eyes on my way to work.
@@CowboyBleepBlop Man I'll keep you and your dad in my prayers. Hang in there
The way he says "Daddy I've been trying I just can't catch a break" always send shivers
You too huh? Tyler has quite a few lyrics that give me chills....His words remind me of my kid's Dad,may he rest in peace. We love you Kurt Rist!!
Literally
I am a fan. I love your voice
I have to sing it every time. I have only had a handful of songs really touch me over the years. Tyler has half a dozen.
The way he says “daddy I been tryin I just can’t catch a break..” or almost everything. Great guy.
If these lyrics don't haunt you, either you didn't live them or you're too far gone. If you didn't live them, don't look down on those who did. If you're too far gone, come back my brother, as long as you're still breathing you've still got a chance..
Amen brother! Amen
I can hear in his voice, he's walked a lot of the same roads I have.
❤beautiful
That was beautifully put. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
There is always hope... Doesn't matter how many times you've fucked up before.
Iv been clean for 5 years. Since the moment I watched my baby boys eyes open. This song sends shivers up my spine
Respect to you a true man
Way to be Brother.
3 years here.. Sends chills up mine too, man..
Yep it can change a man... I know
Never give up man.
I’m 21 years old I grew up on hip hop and rap. Here lately I’ve been trying to find new music, this is beautiful
About the same age brother. Look into Bluegrass music. I'm sure you'll find something!
Welcome home :)
Come on home, boy
So you grew up on shit. There's actually real music, such as this, out there.
Never stop lookin bud lol youll be amazed at some of the talent out there. TC is the real deal. Lol
This song alone saved my life, I was ina hole you couldn’t climb out of alone from a lifetime of hard drugs and violence. Tyler spoke to my soul and that’s something I never thought I’d ever say but here I am 4 yrs later sober and thriving
Congrats, Cortlin! Keep it up.
You’re not alone my friend! God bless 🙏🏼
Keep it going man, it's hard but worth it! 👊
Isn't it crazy how nobody care that your sober. everyone's just waiting for the ball to drop
Life changes when a person comes sober for a long period of time.
I just discovered this man's music today im 99 days sober and have lost so much and suffered alot of loss. My baby momma died from an OD she gave me 2 beautiful babies. Ill live for them and make sure they remember the good mother she was. Good song
So sorry for your loss. Music is such a powerful force, we hope Tyler's tunes can help.
Broken window serenade, Whiskey myers
Keep your head up, them babies need you so damn much. Be the man you know you can be
im literaly so happy for u ^^ i wish you the best luck
God bless you good soul!
This man carries the pain of Kentucky in his voice..
Please Mr. Childers..Do tell👂😔
Not Just Kentucky. LIFE!
Alabama too
I feel the same, Jacob. His music takes me back home, every time!
Arkansas
Im from Pike county , Kentucky and I feel his music in my very soul.
“Takes twice as long to build bridges you burned”
Edit: thanks for the likes guys, that line hit home so much during a hard time of getting clean from heroine, think im finally making a breakthrough with a relationship with my family again ❤
Never heard that Andrew it's cool
Dion Paschini well listen to the song you might
Dj Burdon that line has more meaning than an ex girlfriend... if you know someone who is a drug addict or are one yourself then you will understand what he means about burning bridges.
I never crossed a bridge I have not burned
Yes sir .... Beyond true !!
The fact that this man doesn't need a drummer, back up singer, 2 guitarist, and auto toner shows humanity what real talent is.
Why is Mr. Childers never on the radio?
Beats me
They don't play real music on the radio
His music is just TOO DAMN REAL!
Same reason NF is not on the radio!!!
@@fabledbikeride9515 yea
this is true country. full of passion and heart. you can feel the pain and the soul in the music. hard to find anything like this these days
Couldn't agree more! Glad you found this
This IS NOT Country, it's Appalachian Blue Grass.
Words can’t describe what this song means to me. My daddy worked in pike county in the mines, and he also hurt his back and had to quit working. He was a very wise and humble man, and always gave the same advice to me and my brother. He passed away January 1st of this year, and when I miss him I listen to this. Thank you so much for writing this, it’s as if me and my brother wrote this for our dad. Coal mining daddy’s are the best ❤️
Devin Baker That is awesome. We want to hear his advice if you’re willing to share.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Everytime the lights turn on remember
Devin Baker I grew up in that area too. I moved away several years ago, but his music can always bring me back to the holler when I’m missin home.
God bless you ❤
I just found this song a couple of weeks ago and my friends are like "man why are you playing that all the time" They don't understand why a black man would be listening to this. I said there's just some music that touches your soul.
This comment is truth...You can feel every word.
White black red yellow. Our souls don’t have color or form.
100%
Truth... some music just grabs your soul
I think it's about the soul with which one sings and writes, Temar. Love to you, brother.
“It takes twice as long to build bridges you’ve burnt,
And there’s hurt you can cause, time alone cannot heal”.....
scary how music can just pinpoint exactly what’s in your heart
Definitely agree 💯💜💚❤️
My favorite part of the song. Sooooo true.
He started singing and I got chills all over my body,I thought I didn’t like country but I been listening to the wrong country
Congratulations my friend, you’ve found real country music. If I may suggest, Sturgill Simpson, Benjamin Tod, Colter Wall. Max Gomez, Charley Crockett. Jamie Johnson. Whitey Morgan and the 78’s, to name a few. All great artists who are keeping the real sound alive. Can’t go wrong with any one of those names.
@@ghostfox4 🗣🤙
It's southern rock dear
I think this is firmly in the folk category myself
@@babycaykzThis is not Southern Rock lmfao.
All these years I thought I didn't like Country. Turns out I was just listening to the wrong Country music.
100%. There is a lot of amazing country... most if it you will never hear on the radio.
Waylon Jennings "i've always been crazy" ,live. 👍
Same brotha
There are two types of country you got Nashville country and red dirt country
Same here man same here
between him and colter wall there is still hope for good music out there
Isaiah Williams Good music has never went away. Its just not being recognized
Joshua Stevens Sturgill, Cody, Shooter, Jamey, The Dead South, Steeldrivers. And good ole' Shotgun Willie is still at it.
Don't forget isbell
Sam Bjustrom8877u isbell is pretty good he just ain't got the style and grit
Whiskey Myers is good too
I sent this to my Dad back when I was trying to get clean. Spent 10 years a slave to that drug. This coming February I'll be 3 years sober from those damn pills! 😁
👏 hoping that you've still clean hun!
@@theresasquirestheresa Yes Ma'am goin strong never lookin back
I played this song over and over and over. I learned all the words, the tone, each pause. Decided to get sober that was about 18 months ago. Music can heal.
Congratulations. Stay vigilant. Stay strong.
@@theresasquirestheresa I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it ❤
This song was always playing in rehab, been 3 months sober and still play this with a smile on my face. Tyler Childress is awesome and very helpful with recovery.
Such a powerful story - so glad you are doing well and so glad to hear this has helped you on your journey
Keep going! You got this
Let's goo bro you got this 💪 it truly is the devil no doubt keep it up you got this god bless you 🙏
Glad somebody is in this for the kick up the butt. Keep off the pills and all will be okay
"Well keep in mind that a man is just as good as his word, it takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt, and there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal." These words are the reason I'm 5 days clean from heroin
We're so happy to hear that this song is helping you. We wish you luck in your recovery.
Hey how is your recovery going bud? God bless you, im super proud of you stepping up and keeping clean, that shit almost killed my brother.
Hope all is going well for you in your journey my friend. Praying you are still clean.
I'm doing great, kind of feeling lost in this life at times. 8 years is a long time to be gone, but ill figure it out. Appreciate your guy's kind words.
Don't give up bro! Honestly the first year or year in a half even I felt pretty lost too cravings will come and go for that first year too, im about 3 and a half years sober from heroin keep up the good shit dude
I am an Aussie coal miner, ache every day. We do it so our kids don’t have to. Bloody great song.
Thank you so much for you comment!!
Rock salt and nails is awesome too... Have you heard any Coulter Wall?
@@amandahart9366 oh yeah, got all his albums.
Respect to you brother, I just left the industry up in nsw last week, to be home with my family, mates and alike, probably will always question the decision. Long days and nights away got the best of me, best of luck to you mate
@@sgtsn1per you to brother, we’re about to be forced out. Still looking for a new gig who knows?
Being born, raised and still living in Appalachia (and going back generations)not all that far from where Tyler is from, this song hits so hard and brings me to tears. He is definitely the musical voice of Appalachia for my generation and I’m so glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves.
You can hear the pain in his voice. Real unusual as a black person to listen to country but a lot more of of can relate to this than you think.
Nagee Cathey Mexican here 🙋♂️it’s like I can feel the pain
Painful and hard times befall everyone it's not segregated to race or ethnicity. Tyler's lyrics and raw emotions can resonate with any one who's struggled.
Sorrow and agony know do not know color..
That’s not true at all
It was a non Caucasian persuasion neighbor that suggested this song...hits the gut fs.
Not really a country fan but this song needs to be on the radio... tired of hearing yeti coolers and lifted chevys
That stuff you hear now isn't real country music, it's hick hop. This is country music, the music of our country from in the people in the rural country.
Stuff now a days is stadium country music. There is only a handful of good country singers today that play good stuff. I listen to the old country music like bluegrass, outlaw country, country blues and country- folk. I hear people say they hate country a lot, but they usually don't realize how many genres of country there is.
Same brother. Wish radios would play more of The Dead South and stuff like this
Hate to break it to ya but if you like this..... You like country.
True country here ..I'll take this anyday over the stuff on the radio
This song sums up the soul of Eastern Kentucky like none other. Those misty mountains can comfort you but they can also make you feel alone when you’re deep in the throws of an addiction. Alcohol and cocaine nearly killed me but I found a way out. I pray for all my brothers and sisters still lost in the madness may they find some peace one day.
Ain't the truth. Pike co born and raised. 16 yrs if addiction. Took going to prison and losing my wife, kids and everything to straighten up and move to central KY to get away. 8yrs clean
I found my way out of coke and booze too . Comin up on 6 yes clean
@@jrjones7172 Pike Co is the heart of Eastern KY. Beautiful place with lots of sleepless nights. Glad you’re still alive brother.
@@mikerochester8015 That’s great man. Glad you could beat it.
I wish I could hear this for the first time again. Always chills.
This song hits home for me
Been clean 7 years and my nose is on the grind stone
Started my own company and have 100% growth in customers for 4 years straight
#nosetothegrindstone
GOD BLESS BROTHER!! Been clean since November 4 2019
Both my parents have battled addiction all 19 years of my life. My mom still occasionally relapses, but my father has been clean for about 7 years now. One thing I learned from them is to not go down that rabbit hole. And if their is something missing in your heart fill it with working.
Congrats!!
Congratulations. That is wonderful, take it one day at a time.♡
Right on buddy! Awesome to hear
I've been cleaning up for about a year now and that's my dream, to own and operate my own pest control company
Even IF it's a one-man show
The first lines had me hooked. The voice, the guitar, the song-writing... just shows that there is still real, raw music left in this world. keep your heads up friends, music isn't dead :)
karlawson listen to colter wall
karlawson the music is as old as the Ozarks and the blue ridge mountains from Tennessee to Virginia a few hundred yrs. maybe more , the mountaineers have been playing this folksy blue grass type music. he is really good I'm digging it.
Im from Tennessee and i just caught wind of this! He needs publicity!! Hard to get around these mountains y'all... There's alot of great musicians around here....
Shovels and Rope too. There is good country these days and it lives on RUclips.
karlawson could you give us a listen ?
I don’t always listen to Tyler Childers but when I do so do my neighbors
Ong on the speakers rn at 1116 at night🤣🤣
I totts could've wrote that lol
😂😂😂😂
I was just thinking the same thing.... Here at 6:30am on a Sunday morning :)
Same here and my neighbors are a country mile away
There's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal! You have to be older to get that line. The fact that a kid wrote makes it even MORE amazing!
Yes. Tyler is an old soul. It's scary good.
Covered this song during a gig at a local bar and every soul in that whole damn joint was completely silent and listening. I truly believe that is how you tell whether or not a song is good. The fact that it can quiet 40 or so people is amazing.
You should post a vid of the cover
Id be really interested in watching that cover.
Me too
Same. Let’s hear it. ♥️
Jesus Christ loves you u
This is what music should be all about... we're talking about a man , a young humble man, standing in a room singing about love, hardship , pain... a man sharing his experience to the world asking for nothing but recognition... there is no vanity present, there are no watches, cars, suits, jewelry or women... he doesn't focus on what he has , he's just grateful to have it, he focusses on the sacrifices it took to get to where he is and in allowing other people to find a connection ...
Thanks so much for watching! Tyler is a real gem in this world, for all the reasons you mentioned. Thank you so much for the comment.
Jesus Christ loves you u
I remember the first time I came across this song, I was high as a kite on opiates, any kind I could get my hands on whether it was H or oxy or whatever. I heard this song and that line….”keep your nose on the grindstone and outta the pills”…..and I bawled. I wanted out of that addiction so bad but I was in so deep. Within a week of listening to that song every day….I checked myself into detox and rehab. It was the absolute worst two weeks of my life. I was at risk of having a stroke or a heart attack because it was so bad. Had to be medically supervised around the clock. BP of 180/130. I don’t know how I didn’t die. But I came out of that detox…..and I haven’t looked back since. I just got 2 years clean and sober this past July. And honestly…thank you Tyler. Thank you.
Dude poured out his heart and soul and some fucking creep in the comments is pretending to be Tyler.
Fuck man.
Saying a prayer for you!
sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to ask for help. glad to see it
So so so happy for you… don’t know you… but love you
Awesome.. keep on KEEPING ON!! Check out the song "MY ADDICTION" by Lines of Loyalty... Some songs just hit home...
Hurt, pain, and regret wrote this song. Tyler just felt it and sang it with his soul.
One of the realest voices in music. Thanks for checking us out!
Went from being a hardcore addict on meth and pills to a nursing student with a full time job. Keep on the grindstone
Keep it up, man! Congrats.
That’s amazing! Keep going man; it’ll all be worth it
Beautiful brother, never look back.
Love you brother
Stay the course
There is something so raw and real about Tyler's music. It's haunting. The combination of his lyrics with his voice and delivery is almost overpowering sometimes. Hits you like a ton of bricks. A real country outlaw. He already belongs on the country outlaw Mt Rushmore with Williams, Cash Haggard and Jennings.
"almost overpowering at times"
Ain't that the truth
Best description I've heard yet. I don't even have an addiction problem and I'm not the son of a coal miner but this song nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it.
Amen!
I lost my dad in June 2023. It's been a tough year. We have a baby on the way and I Wish he was here. I have been sober for about 5 years, and this song reminds me so much of why I am sober today. To anyone struggling with addiction or seeing family and friend's struggling with addiction, just keep up on them and they COULD pull through. Addiction changes people, but you are not who your addiction made you to be. Theres someone in there, just gotta get to them.
Stand Strong
Hello, how are you doing today? It’s nice to meet you here.
I quit a 14 year opioid addiction 6 weeks ago. This song rings me to my core.
How're you doing brother?
@@willhaywood3010 still clean haven't slipped once. When I posted this comment I honestly didn't think I would make it. Thank you for reminding me of this comment I use my length of sobriety as a addition now.
@@joesmith8482 My man! That's so great to hear
@@joesmith8482Praise God and God speed brother 💕
yo ik this comment was 2 years ago but i hope youre still sober brother! know the feeling!
I thought i could keep it together, never heard this song before, i was wrong. Some pain we carry so long we forget about it and think its gone. I guess it never went away in the first place.
Much respect and love.
Damn
@@charleslindbergh8222 Tough guy act doesn’t work. Keep trying though. 😂
@@charleslindbergh8222 He didn’t say he was crying. You must not have a life story if you can’t relate to music.
@@charleslindbergh8222 Try again loser.
"Daddy worked like a mule... Well he fucked up his back and couldnt work anymore"... I saw my old man fade away from old age, a hard life, and Agent Orange in his blood from Vietnam. Cant help but cry when Tyler sings these words
Yesterday I left Appalachia for good. I kept my nose on the grindstone and out of the pills. I thank God every day I did.
Good for you brother
Get strong enough to go back home to your Mountains and THrive!
As a son growing up with a father who broke his back falling off a roof and raising children on oxy this screams at me in my dreams.
My Dad past away 7 years ago from lung cancer, he worked under ground in Hazard ky for about 40 years he was drafted for the military and served in the army from 1967-1969 this song really hits home sure do miss and love my hard working Dad :( miss you old man!
I never thought I would ever find a country song/artist that I actually liked. Was listening to Rage Against the Machine Pandora and this song came on. Still kinda baffles me as to why it did, but I'm thankful I was introduced to such a great talent.
This is Appalachian mountain music
It's a glitch in the matrix
Good on you for recognizing.
John Doe l
came up for me on my Punch Bros. Pandora channel. awesome tune.
This will forever make me think of Dad. He never mined. But being told every day for first half of my life to keep my nose go the grind stone still plays in my head
Recovering opiate addict, don’t know what it is but his voice his lyrics, it hits me hard every time. I’m either crying or getting shivers. 5 years today, keep the lord in your heart and you’ll have nothing to fear 🙏🏻❤️
Sending our love your way
Addiction runs strong in my family, luckily I’m not in a hole. This song hits me every time as well. I can hear the pain and sincerity in his voice and music.
Hope you stay well
We all need to find why we let people help us !! Iam a great drug addict and alcoholic!! Could never been better at what I do if I didn’t have the ones that love me !!! Or help !!! Bottom line !!! Know who you are because addiction does not !! Or the ones that love you
I honestly believe that tyler is the most underrated country artist out right now.. this is so simple and so beautiful. in an age where true artists are becoming more and more rare.. this stands out so wonderfully
Agreed.
Austin Ballard cody jinks
Tyler and Colter Wall have gotten country back into my playlists again.
Arlo McKinley is ridiculously underrated as well.
What about Sturgill? I'm not sure where he's from though
I can't believe how much this song has moved me. I'm Mexican and don't do country but there is something about this song that has touched my soul! Tyler Childers u r amazing and have a talent to touch souls of all human beings. ❤
A true artist and storyteller!
Nose to the grindstone hope for all amen...
Hello I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it ❤
You have no clue how much your song has helped me stay straight headed after my pops passed and work is heavy af while tryna maintain and be a good husband and dad. Thank you for this song bro fr.
Keep it up every day man, your kids need you!!❤
How am I just discovering Tyler Childers? His voice is outstanding! So soulful and raw…gives one chills. I could play any of his songs on repeat for hours on end.
Yellowstone brought me here. I have listened to many more of his videos. What a song, lyrics and performance. I just love this simple sound with a profound message.
This is, uh, "Nose to the Grindstone"
Hold on
Daddy worked like a mule minin' Pike County coal
'Til he fucked up his back and couldn't work anymore
He said one of these days you'll get out of these hills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
See, the ways of this world will just bring you to tears
Keep the Lord in your heart, and you'll have nothin' to fear
Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break
There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake
But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me the chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word
It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt
And there's hurt you can 'cause time alone cannot heal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break
There's too much in this world I can't seem to shake
But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me to chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Keep your nose on the grindstone
Thank you
Im 12th generation Irish/American, born and raised in the Southern Appalachians and Tyler Childers songs touch nerves that only a man born and raised in these hills can touch. Long live Southern Appalachia!
Amen!
Brother I'm irish/commanche Indian been in Texas my whole life and Tyler's music always moves me
Yellowstone brought me here. I hear, the pain, the truth, and the hopefulness of the lyrics. This is a gift. What music is meant to be.
He has his ancestors of Appalachia singing through him❤
Applalachia nothing, that boy is pulling all the way back from Ireland.
@@saddletramp1979👆👆
One thing I notice on every comment section of a music video, everyone comes together and spreads love. That's unity. Music is magic. We all feel the same pain no matter what we look like. Much love to yall.
Im a metal head...but this man gives me chills whenever I hear his voice.
same here
There is a pretty big metalhead/folk music culture. Especially in the bluegrass festival community.
I don't consider myself a "country listener", but this. . .this touches the soul. Loved it since the first listen.
Tyler has such an awesome ability to reach fans of all genres, so glad you found this. Thanks for checking us out!
This isn't country, it's Appalachia.
t blues with maby country feel. He is singing and playing his chords and embellishments. That's why he is not blues guitar. Now maby Stapleton has blues guitar style licks and arrangements. Still too country for me. But I'm a blues man.
"Keep the Lord in your heart and you'll have nothing to fear." True my man true. God Bless you for this. May God Bless your career and the message of his undying love for us.
Jesus Christ loves you u
I'm older but I'll say this. Real music used to say real words. We called it folk music but it bled over into mainstream country. Like Gordon lightfoot etc. THIS... Gives me hope that a new generation will continue to make real songs and music. Commercial America has lost its cultural roots. This is great.
Tyler Childers encompasses everything that is and has been great about music. Rare talent for sure
@TylerChilders-qn5hv damn straight. I am very picky about music and artists too! Lol, seriously, I can tell all of your songs are from the heart and you have some experience with all that you write. You have also re inspired me and taught me a lot about playing the guitar. 😤🐐
Late to this. Found it this week. Hits me like a tornado every time. 43 years old and one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Puts tears in my eyes every listen. It's helping me through some really hard times as well. Needless to say, huge Tyler Childers fan at this point. And, tears in my eyes again.
So happy it connected and truly hope things get better soon - Mike
Follow You to Virgie.
I'm from Paintsvillle Ky. and this song and all his others tell a true story of holler life in deep Eastern Ky.
Twylla Brown same here buddy, I’m from letcher county🍻. Keep that dip outta your lip
Same here I’m from Rowan and this song hits hard
Originally from Barbourville Ky bub!
Similar problem over here in central Ky. Cheers from Green!
Do you happen to know JR Vanhoose?
From Oklahoma! Don't ever sell out bud. Your music brings a ring to my ear. My family is from West Virginia my grandma and grandad got out of there thanks to the air Force. Both of my great grandads died from black lung. it's beautiful country and we still have family there.
I found this song today, brought me to tears. I am a recovering addict. Started with pills and moved to crack and heroin. I am blessed I recovered, that I’m still alive. So many bridges burned, so many lies. But no more! Just loving life! Thank you god.
My dads a miner. He’s been doing it for 10 years and it scares me. He loves you Tyler and he shown me your music and you remind me of him. Thank you ❤
“There’s to much in this world that I can’t seem to shake” my god what a line.
Just heard this song on the show Yellowstone. About time Tyler is getting more recognition. Pure, real and true music/talent.
A true & pure talent indeed.
Yellowstone is brutal lol
Love that show
“Keep in mind that a man is just as good as his word, it takes twice as long to build bridges you burn, and there’s hurt you can cause, time alone can’t heal” never heard truer words
I live in pike county and my dad works in the coal minds words can’t describe how much this song means to
Same….
Can’t quit listening. I’ve buried more than have my family to drug addiction here in Appalachia and this hits home. Thanks for this song
the fact that this song has ANY dislikes infuriates me to no end.
Agreed
CrackerJack Henry probably just a few bible thumpers that are upset that he says f**k
Well they do not have any taste. Simple as that. You should not waste time on it.
It has nothing to do with the music. It's a bunch of trolls who click dislike on everything just to piss normal people off. It's the same bunch that spray paints their vulgarities on everything, stand in the street and block traffic and tear down statues. Not because they don't like it but because they know you do.
Just people who don't like real music.. they love florida Georgia line..lol
Tyler Childers, definitely my favorite artist. White House Road hits so close to home, I can't help but listen to over and over. I also fell to the biker life, and living that exact moment. This man knows how to sing and write
What a voice, instant chills through my spine when he started to sing! This is Country music with capital C! Greetings from Belgium!
Once in awhile we’re blessed with an artist that conveys their life and environment and it strikes a chord with those from all different backgrounds because they feel the words. Childers is that artist nowadays (along with Wall, Jinks, Simpson and Bingham). He is the real deal and that’s why his music resonates with so many people, it’s real….no gimmicks, no polish and no bullshit.
I shook it.
Nose to the grindstone did it.
Brings tears to my eyes and fire to my soul.
🤘🙏🤘🙏🤘
"Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word. It takes twice as long to build the bridges you've burned. And there is hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal. Keep your nose on the grindstone & out of the pills."
Words to live by.
Jesus Christ is our savior, he died on the Cross for our sins. Putting your faith in Him is the only way to get to Heaven when you die🙏✝️
This brought me to tears. Wow
This man is a national treasure. Rattles my soul every time. Thank you for the art, Mr. Childers.
gotta respect the hell outta artists with the courage to open windows into their own struggles for us to empathize with...
The widely held belief that I also support is Let There are two types of musicians the first type are prima donnas they do no wrong and they shit gold the second type coincidentally my favorite type is the group who self loathe I relate better to this group
The fact that the most replayed part is the entire song… says everything you need to know about this song.
R.I.P. Daddy. I'm blessed you didn't have to go through the worst of the ALS and glad o had the opportunity to take care of you and live with you for the 3 weeks before you decided you were tired of hurting. After 15 years of not living with you pops, those last 3 weeks we had together I will cherish for eternity. I'm sorry dad I'm only 24 and haven't gotten my shit straight but I'm going too. I'm going to make you proud. I'll forever think about us looking at the stars until 4 in the morning that last morning. It still hasn't even registered yet that you've passed. I'm so lost but I'm gunna keep my nose to the grindstone. I love you dad. I can't wait to be with you again someday
Just discovered this guy today thanks once again to RUclips. Lord have mercy, every song I've listened to so far has been so.. Ah screw it, words can't express it. Y'all know what I'm talking about. You'll never hear this on the radio either.. It's way to good.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. It's no different from the advice my dad gave me when I was growing up.
RIP Dad
Thanks, Tyler Childers
I’ve been clean a little shy of 4 years and this song hits me every single time. Much love brother.
Takes twice as long to build bridges you burned may be the best line I have ever heard in my life.
My son... a die-hard metal fan introduced me to Tyler Childers. This is a beautiful piece of music.
Some music is so good it defies the boundaries of genre! Thanks for sharing!
16 days clean. Your helping me stay clean listening over and over.
Congratulations. Wishing you all the best, man.
I had the good fortune to see Tyler play in Nottingham (England), we travelled about 150 miles or so from the North-East to see him. He’s a total original and so different from most modern country (or any other music for that matter). We even bumped into him outside the gig, a truly lovely man. Pure talent.
I'm fifteen, moved away from the States to Eastern Europe 2 years ago, and oh my this song has helped me through so much of my loneliness. Thank you so much Tyler, your music has really helped me and my brother out.
Bless you, Tyler. Bless your Daddy and all your kin. Our folk, our proud and wounded Appalachia folk need you more than ever. It's a sad plague on our men and women. You're helping us all to heal. God keep you, brother.
It gets no better than Tyler he's a goddamn poet. The first time I seen him was in a coffee shop. I was sitting on a couch about two feet in front of him and my god it was so damn intense lol. He absolutely pierces my soul.
Seeing him live is a special experience, that voice and those lyrics just hit you right in the gut!
finally saw Tyler in circleville at tootles, he's on an entirely different level. Just pure heart and soul.
Justin Strous Damn didn't know he was in Roundtown.
OurVinyl I was lucky enough to see Tyler in San Diego recently. Thank you for coming to California sir, it was a great show.
That ant right,if you don't like him don't say anything
It takes twice as long to build Bridges you burnt and there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal. Holy shit
I’ve listened to this song a thousand times. It blows my mind how well it sums up the things we do as addicts. Having a 6 year old son who I worry every day will follow in those footsteps, this song hits home on so many levels, it brings tears to my eyes almost every time I hear it. So deep.
Being from the town over from where your from Tyler “pikeville” and I’m balling in the shower rn coming off heroin, I just wana say thank you man thank you a lot 😢
Sorry to hear you are sick right now, Scott, we hope you can power through it. Music can help! Much love...
It’s a damn shame the epidemic here in maysville. Good to see a Kentucky boy making something of himself
Stay safe brother
I’m form pikeville to yeah the drug epidemic is pretty bad over here hope your recovering good
Please check yourself into rehab or sober living, my dad found this little church that take in drug addicts as long as they aren't sober and it saved his life
Been listening to this song for the last 6 months - I’m now convinced it will never get old to me.
"Keep in mind that a man is just as good as his word, it takes twice as long to build bridges you've burned" Mr. Childers hit that right on the heart!
the bluesy gravel in his voice...it's just epic. 🤌🤌🤌
