"Welcome To Hard Times"

Life’s a casino
I’m telling you
And everybody’s playing
Boys and girls
women children
Me and you
The dice are loaded
And everything’s fixed
Even a hobo would tell you this

Welcome to hard times
And feeling low
Do you like sinning, no?
Well you will before you go
We got lots of gambling
Oh, and we’re telling lies
You’re certainly welcome to hard times

Take a look in my eyes
Tell me what you see
Besides the bright blinking lights
Stretched out in front of me
I wonder if you’ll notice
Would you even care
If I told you my life just isn’t fair

Welcome to hard times
And feeling low
Do you like sinning, no?
Well you will before you go
We got lots of gambling
Oh, and we’re telling lies
You’re certainly welcome to hard times
Yes, hope you’re feeling welcome to hard times

I was never a huge fan of modern country/western music, but damn is it refreshing to hear the real deal after years of country pop.

It’s beautiful to see a man doing what he was born to do. He’s a national treasure. Thanks Charlie and the band.

Charley has the "it" factor and seems to be carving his own way trough music. I appreciate what he is doing for country and keeping the true art alive.

I work the show yesterday.He was the nicest person.He signed a few autographs.

[chetgray]

The anthem for the common man through and through. Got damn.

All the hype around Beyoncé’s “country” album and this man has just been putting out bangers for 10 years. Underrated as can be

[КазичВолков]

No matter how many times I hear this song, I love it just like it's the first time. I love the music man!!!

[MiZerableheavy]

Charley’s gonna be a country legend soon

[sj]

I legitimately strive to be as cool as Charley. I fail, but it’s something to strive for

[johnniedono]

breath of fresh air..serious great show this..saw him in Ireland wow..

[kenfromnj]

I'm an optimistic person and I'm doin well, but this song's lyrics pretty much sums up America right now

[lifeofluke]

This song isn't nearly long enough

[drewfudge]

Charley Crockett is, and will always be, the man that kept the wild west alive. No disrespect to Sturgill, Vincent Neil and those alike but this is something else!

[BigBear]

This is extremely special. What a time to be alive.

[MatthewNewburyRedRaider]

God I pray that Charley takes the whole industry down, he could sing the old songs. I wish he would do a Chet Atkins album.

[hl]

I like both kinds of music, Country and Western.

[LoneStar]

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon, Willie, Charley and the boys.
Man… I’ve been listening to music for 60+ years, this is one of the greatest country songs ever. Thanks, Charley!

[ComedyBros]

Crockett and The Blue Drifters are always dressed to the 9's and putting on such an awesome show, showcasing true talent and entertainment. I wish they got the same love and recognition that Stephen Sanchez and Leon Bridges get!

[McShibby]

This song Man from Waco and $10 Cowboy are on repeat right now. Keep it going Charlie

[WalkerTexas]

The King of Cool with another solid performance.
