Lyrics:

Well we're all wasted in a bar somewhere downtown
When I man walks up and pokes me with a knife and says
"Man, I'm gonna send you to hell."
Well I took that knife, I stared him straight in the eyes
I said, "Oh, boy you better fuckin' run
I've been sittin' here just a-slammin' down beers
And now its time to have some fun"
Oh

Oh well he hit me hard, yeah he hit me good
And then I fell to the ground
But I kicked him fast, I kicked him real swift
And he came a tumblin' down
He took a stab at me and nearly cut my gut
But I kicked that knife to the floor
Then I took his head and slammed it into the bar
I don't think he'll come around no more
Oh

Well I've been drinkin' here for so many damn years
Tryin' to recap my life
Every night trouble finds my sight and I can't help but fight
With a bottle of Jack and a tin of skoal
I'll be stickin' around
Until the day a man will put me away and...
I can rest my soul

Well we're all wasted in a bar
Somewhere downtown
When a man walks up and pokes me with a knife and says
"Man, I'm gonna send you to hell."
Well I took that knife, I stared him straight in the eyes
I said "Oh boy this is the day."
Then I took that knife and stabbed it straight through my eye
And then I fell to my knees
Oh

Well I've been drinkin' here for so many damn years
Tryin' to recap my life
Every night trouble finds my sight and I can't help but fight
With a bottle of Jack and a tin of skoal
I'll be stickin' around
Until the day a man will put me away and...
I can rest my soul

I think we all discovered them by accident, and that's part of their charm. It's called serendipity.

[anitataco]

I just adore the singer's gritty voice! And the mandolin player's voice balances it so perfectly! Wonderful complement to each other!

[williamrowe]

This really is what music should be. Not the crap that passes for music these days... Keep it up guys!

[robertrobinson-bq]

7 Years of listening and have not been disappointed once. If I had the power, I would nominate them for a living legend award.

[Magnificent]

"Ive been drinking heavy so many damn years, trying to recap my life. Every night Jehovah finds my side and I can't help but fight." those are amazing lyrics!

Who is a metal head but loves these guys?
I know I am!

[megadethmofo]

Metal head here (obviously), these guys popped up on YouTube yesterday. I listened to about 8 of their songs ...they...are.... AWESOME! Great musicians, great vocal harmonies, great lyrics, feeling. Not over produced. I'm now officially a fan of THE DEAD SOUTH

[garrettharvey]

Take it in guys. Groups like this are unicorns.

[tammypearson]

I am sharing this with everybody I know. This is the shit we didn't know we were missing.

[IHMatN]

I'm not a man of faith, but sometimes i believe the universe is a living force itself.One day, i thought "man, i wanna hear that badass old west kinda music", then i searched for "hillbilly music", even tho i didn't exactly know what "hillbilly" means, and then found these guys.The universe has an amazing way of bringing things together.

[craigcrawford]

My son playing banjo with these guys. Awesome video.

[mollymauk]

These guys are consistently amazing. Just love their tempo changes--always for great dramatic effect. Music so good you feel it in your bones.

[echo]

i discovered these guys by accident and so glad I did!!! Love them!!

[jesussaves]

I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan, been one for a few years now. Discovered these guys randomly on a bluegrass Playlist just yesterday, and already my favorite band. Love this kind of music.

[Olds_Gold]

The song made me grow a whiskey and drink a beard.. 😂

[emondre]

now i want a beer, sit and do absolutely nothing for a long time while listening to more songs by them

[JL-cnqi]

Love it when Danny integrates some of his classical training into it. The band is great as it is but that just puts in yet another layer of brilliance into it.

[pkoe]

This is folk music; it's true Americana. These are incredibly skilled musicians, playing professional instruments. The song writing is truly creative. Regards, George Armstrong

[tommccall]

It's 4:15am on a Sunday morning right now and I want to crack a cold one and listen to these guys all day!!!

[americancelt]

Bought this album. I don't even listen to this type of music and I've only bought maybe 5 cds in the past 3 years. I listen to metal but for whatever reason I REALLY like these guys. Awesome stuff!
