It is anongst my best songs since 1975. All true. today it fits on Zelenskij, Joe Biden ´, Hunter Biden. German politicians. Boris Johnson. WHO, UNO; NATO, EU.
I hadn't thought about this tune for a long while until I heard that Tom died. My band used to cover this song. We were playing it in a honky-tonk between St. Paul and Hudson, WI, before the interstate was finished. It was not unusual to see 20 or more big rigs in the parking lot of that joint. The truckers loved this song. It brings back memories, RIP Tom T Hall.
There's..no wait that's Taylor Swift. There's uh,no that's N Synch. There's Uhhh. No, you're right. There is no such thing as a crummy Tom T Hall song.
You know, the other thing is that usually, when an artist dies, you know you'll never hear anything new from them. But in Tom T's case, even though I know dozens of his songs, I wander around youtube and I still find new songs that I haven't heard before, or "new" old songs that I had forgotten about years ago. They'll never be another Tom T Hall. May he rest in peace.
Hi how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Patti from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, have a nice Sunday.
It saddens me to think Tom T. Hall has passed away. His Faster Horses album was in constant rotation on my turntable for years. He was as complicated a gentleman as he was a masterful storyteller and poet.
My friend and I were talking about this recently. In Michigan there is a "country" music festival called Faster Horses. My friend asked, "Do you think those people attending that thing know where the name of the festival came from? Do you think they even know who Tom Hall is?" I said I sure as hell hope so.
As a young 32 year old, Tom ts death hit me really hard. I stared listening to country late, at 30. I NEVER liked it but one day my mind changed and Tom t was by far one of my favorites. So many great songs. It'll always be faster horses, younger women, older whiskey and more money. And also old dogs, children and watermelon wine.
If you don't understand this three minute song the first time then please listen to it again. It must have taken a lot of time to create it. Listen to it for a while because Tom T. Hall is not just a great singer but also a great songwriter. It was his last #1 Country song way back in 1976.
Hi Tim how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Patti from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, have a nice Sunday.
@@pattistilwell7424 I had a great Sunday how about you I live in Brownsville Union county Indiana spring has came here been doing white bass fishing working my seasonal job taking care of an elderly lady he's 100 years old if you have Instagram you can find me on Instagram tbo2341 Tim Bowman I don't run Facebook much don't have time I'm in Instagram photographer I hope you're having a wonderful Monday.
@@tbo2341 Good morning Tim nice to hear from you again. I'm sorry my Facebook account is hacked. Please send me a message here..... stilwellpatti@gmail.com Looking forward to get to chat more with you soon.
I'm not a huge country music fan, but Tom has an excellent and very impressive discography. I didn't realize that he had passed away until today, so I've been bingin' on quite a few of his songs. R.I.P. Mr. Hall, from this grateful music fan, who appreciates great music regardless of the genre.
Listen to your parents, kids. My Dad made me listen to this when I was a youngster. After this one I couldn't wait for his next album. Great storyteller...
Listening in '21, for my Dad (March his B-day month) took me along for a distance to see "T" perform at a Mason's Lodge in Dayton O., after the show, "T" sat right down at stage edge, met and greeted all fans that stayed after the performance. Miss you Dad, America is far beyond "enjoying the peace and comfort of reality"
Tom T. Hall is one of the best songwriters of all time. He's very underrated! If you're an inspiring songwriter get his books listen too his music and take it all in.
TOM T HALL...WATERMELON WINE...I have Played and Sang That Song for Many Year's During Performances at Night Club's to Down Home Beer Joints...Always Get a Lot Of Reactions to this Song...I WOULD LOVE TO THANK TOM T HALL , FOR RECORDING SUCH AN AWESOME ,,SING ME BACK HOME SONG....TOM T HALL, YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, AND AMERICA SOME OF THE BEST COUNTRY MUSIC IN THE WHOLE WORLD...THANK YOU , MY FRIEND....
I'm real torn....I'm almost 50, and am thinking about when I'm not here, and how that'll go. This song is in my top ones I want played at my funeral. Along with "East Bound And Down", and "The Rockford Files Theme". 😁👍 There's a certain "feel" I'm aiming for ...
I was outside perimeter security for Mr. Hall and 2 other acts back in the day. After the show Tom and his brother walked up to us shook our hands and fed us all pizza and drinks. Good people they were. We never ever saw the other 2 acts I guess they was to busy to have pizza.
WOW! Haven't heard this song in a long time. Brings back memories of my bar hopping days. Now at my age what guy wouldn't want younger women! Being a Married man of 32yrs I can only dream!
Hi how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Patti from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, have a nice Sunday.
I didnt learn until today he passed. I had legitimately a week or two before checked google if he had passed and was happy to see him still going. The world lost an great man with a whisper.
They used to play songs like this on a radio station called the outlaw. Loved it but then it was taken over by new management and it went down hill fast.
Man Tom t is world's greatest singer songwriter storyteller I love his songs you get a picture of the setting of what he's talking about . cowboy he's speaking of every time I hear the song it reminds me of Gus McCray on lonesome Dove LOL great song I Love it
Losing Tom T. Was hard to take but now knowing he took his own life breaks my heart! I wish I could have help him somehow. I pray he rest in peace with Ms. Dixie by his side!
When I lived in Nashville back in the early 70s, I met Tom t Franco.He wrote more songs than anybody else.You can imagine they would not let him sing him.Because he was not a singer until he got his own recordings studio
RIP Tom T. Hall! He passed away today at age 85. Hope he's singing his stories to Jesus up in heaven!!!
I wasn't aware of that. Sad.
Sadly I just found out. BS news doesn't report the important things
This song IS GOSPEL.
His fate I will not guess.
But undeniable FACTS are stated.
Rest in eternal peace
You missed it Clare, you need to sing these songs. AND teach them to all who all will listen to WISDOM.
RIP Brother Tom T, it's still Faster Horses, Younger Women, Older Whiskey and MORE MONEY
Facts
No truer words have ever been spoken. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money is the secret to life.
Truth
Yes
It is anongst my best songs since 1975. All true.
today it fits on Zelenskij, Joe Biden ´, Hunter Biden. German politicians. Boris Johnson. WHO, UNO; NATO, EU.
Thanks for everything, Mr. Hall. While you had a full life, you left us WAY too soon.
No, he ran his race and made a difference.
"Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey & more money " more truth than than should be allowed.
Pretty sure it was edited from the bible. True wisdom.
I’m feeling really sad right now. We’ve just lost a legend.
Rest In Peace Tom.
The song still rings true!
Share it!
He will be immortal.
And should be.
Good point
Don't be sad he lives every time we play the music👍
By suicide I don't understand
My son did ask me what was the best things in life, you know what i told him. RIP TomT.
💪💪🤠
Tom T Hall one of the greatest writers and best country singers of all time
Amen to this. He is underrated.
He's got quite a few short stories on paper.
Read "A Guitar & a Pen", a collection of stories by singers & songwriters.
Well worth the time.
hells yes.
Yes today u cant find nothing even close to the old timmers!!!
Heartbroken in Ireland. 🕊🕊🕊🕊💔💔🎸
Never been a better Storyteller..........................
I heard this song in 1975. And it remains still in my list of great songs.
What else to say?
Yes! Back when country music was country music. I was raised on this stuff.
TheFinnmacool same man
amen bro
@@gmandersonjr l
Sunny FM 97.1 is online and plays this stuff all day.
TheFinnmacool Its good ice fishing music
Rest in peace Tom T. Hall. You were the greatest story teller of them all.
Ageed. Wonderfull man.

This is reality. No one today to compare to TomT. Hall. I loved him at 5, I love him today.
Hello Amy , how are you doing today hope you’re safe
Is there a crummy Tom T Hall song? Nope! Never. They're all superb. It's impossible to get tired of listening to him! A true balladeer.
There's..no wait that's Taylor Swift.
There's uh,no that's N Synch.
There's Uhhh.
No, you're right.
There is no such thing as a crummy Tom T Hall song.

@@RemingtonRidersMusic Dave Dudley and Jeannie Riley recorded quite a few of his songs that he never sang himself.
Agree. Is there a crummy Marty song?
sneaky snake
One of the best story tellers ever.
Tom T Hall for real stories and country western music.
I always keep the Tom T. Hall music close at hand when I need a good lift.
Hi how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Patti from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, have a nice Sunday.
It saddens me to think Tom T. Hall has passed away. His Faster Horses album was in constant rotation on my turntable for years. He was as complicated a gentleman as he was a masterful storyteller and poet.
Everybody under the age of 30 needs to listen to this song over and over on repeat until they get they point!
Got that right Mr
AMEN!

My friend asked, "Do you think those people attending that thing know where the name of the festival came from? Do you think they even know who Tom Hall is?" I said I sure as hell hope so.

What Mr. Hall sings of is still true and always will be. Rest now Mr. Hall.

Contakum if you don’t get it second time, go back to justin bieber! Or whatever, you’re lost already!🤣👌
As a day trader, I sometimes play this song after a big win. This makes so much sense and I can relate with it.
True❤
His music and wonderful sense of humor made a lot of long miles on the road a hell of a lot easier when I was young.
Gone Not forgotten.
I just found out of his passing,but I think we all know now who the greatest singer of country music ever was
A song I listen to daily😊
Not only was Tom T. Hall a classic singer, he was a top writer and wrote many top ten hits for folk and rock singers as well as country music.
im australian this guy is the best poet ive ever heard im 35
Hi Aaron, South Australia here!
Victorian here mate.. Agreed
Tom is from Tennessee, down in little holler.
@@gmandersonjr beg pardon, but he is from Olive Hill, Kentucky. His daddy was a preacher there.
He was a real poet but even more a Philosopher and in the truest sense a story teller for damn sure. God Bless him.
The great poets of these past days were the song writers for sure.
Here it is 2020 and damn i love this song
👍👍
2021 and still great
LOVE TOM T HALL " He never understood that this song would, adopted by many "Bikers ! Many A beautiful thing !
Tom t Hall born of my hometown connersville Indiana he was a poet and he knowed it

That sir, Is my final answer.
One of many songs Tom made a fortune on. Rest easy, Tom!
One of the greatest, for sure! R.I.P good-sir!
I was always fascinated on how Tom holds and plays the guitar without a strap and never misses a note or chord.
lol , do yall remember chilets

Listen to your parents, kids. My Dad made me listen to this when I was a youngster. After this one I couldn't wait for his next album. Great storyteller...
Parents these days mostly listen to obscene rap
One of the best country songs ever written.
I have to agree with you.
Thanks Tom for the music R I P you will be missed
Who could possibly dislike this. Great pics of a great man singing a great song.
I Love Old Classic Country Music It's The Truth Tom T Hall Tells The Truth About Country Music In This Song
What a great song ,todays artists can write em like that
Truly words to live by.
Listening in '21, for my Dad (March his B-day month) took me along for a distance to see "T" perform at a Mason's Lodge in Dayton O., after the show, "T" sat right down at stage edge, met and greeted all fans that stayed after the performance.

I am 15 and love old country
I first this song when I was in Germany on the AFN radio station. I was in the army at the time.
Tom T. Hall is one of the best songwriters of all time. He's very underrated! If you're an inspiring songwriter get his books listen too his music and take it all in.
Hi
One of the greatest Songwriters
He was the poet laureate of country music. He wrote the Harper PTA.
I think that I will readily affirm!
I remember this song on the radio headin' to the next rodeo!! Great memories!
coorslightcowboy bones healed up yet?🤣
@@supertramp6011 It only hurts when you sober up and when you are old......
My Daddy's favorite in 70s! Saw him live at Augusta Expoland in Virginia 74
My dad always played his songs and I loved them all. I always sang i like beer at karaoke 🎤. RIP 🙏.
Possibly the most unrecognized country western singer of his time
Oh,he got the recognition even while his music was hotter than a stove

I'm real torn....I'm almost 50, and am thinking about when I'm not here, and how that'll go.
This song is in my top ones I want played at my funeral. Along with "East Bound And Down", and "The Rockford Files Theme". 😁👍
There's a certain "feel" I'm aiming for ...
Rockford files is so cool. Mr,
. Gardner was another great one.
RIP .. Deeply saddened by the news of his passing
The words of this song are just as true today as they were when Tom wrote them!!! Too bad today’s generation don’t want to see it!!
I’m struck by the similarity between his voice and stories and my favorite John Prine. Both great songwriters!
One of the greatest storytellers of all time rest in peace
Great song
absolutely one of the very best song writers ever
Hi Greg
