Lyrics :

Walking tipsy, briskly from the scene of the crash,
It felt too good how high you stood it would not last
You broke a few hearts .. a couple promises too –
Left arm, Left leg, your Eye socket's blue, oh
Will the throbbing in your head ever stop?
The taste of blood encased in mud -
it aches on the topYou'll take a 7... and a SEVEN once more
Take it down, await the town, and break on the floor

You won't make it. Take it
You cannot sleep
Living day to day, it shakes you – they struck you deep
You're a blatant stranger changer until you're deceased
This is yours now, your pain to keep

Grab a cutlass, a rope, and frame from that shrine
Don't forget the angel sent from lord divine
Able men won't come, so it's just me and you
We need to show them why they're out,
They only knew
Table any thought because it's time to shine
Any disappointment come and meet me this time
In the wrong? Please... just take in that view
Can it for your sisters and your mothers too

You won't make it. Take it
You cannot sleep
Living day to day, it shakes you – they struck you deep
You're a blatant stranger changer until you're deceased
This is yours now, your pain to keep

Drift out in the ocean - Goshen. Take the leap
Shadows only haunt the children of the discreet
Sway until the day it makes it, they will fall right
Bright away the chains and stakes and fall down for the night

Very cool to see Danny taking the lead on this one. With three AMAZING voices in this band I'm thankful they give each one opportunities to shine!

Sway until the day it makes it, they will fall right
Bright away the chains and stakes and fall down for the night

When my country was invaded, I volunteered and mobilized into the army in March 2022. After some months on the frontline and a year of serving, I was demobilized and tried to adapt back to civilian life. This week, I received news of my former unit deployed near Avdiivka and 20 people, whom I knew very well and served with, already missing in action. Hearing the music and the lyrics, I was able to cry for the first time in months. Thank you for that.

Never thought Canadians would do Southern music so well.
Yet, here we are and they are great.
Well Done Boys!!

[BobbyGLyfe]

A new Dead South song every day still wouldn't be enough. Love you guys!!!

[dot-to-dot]

Whoever choreographed their videos does an excellent job.

[AscheWholeProductions]

It's so great to know there is still a place in this world for clean, simple music. Wishing all of you continued success in your endeavors.

[phlyers]

Another hit! Love to see Danny getting a chance to show off the pipes.

[margaretstleone]

So love theses guys. I’m an Aussie and was introduced to them by my son who was stationed in America. What a special time.

[ZRDRCK]

You can no longer imagine what a world without the internet would look like,
where you would never in your life have the opportunity to almost stumble past such a great band,
pause and enjoy.

[johnjensen]

Great new song. I love there's many "lead" singers in this band. It prevents a predictable one sound, but never heard a bad song from thses guys. Their covers of classic rock songs are amazing!

[gohumberto]

Big shout out to the videographer/editor on this video . The grading and lighting (smoke or mist filter?) is beautiful.

[Hyokano]

I’m a Japanese immigrant who got into bluegrass and love the Dead South and wish they’d perform in Japan and make it big there

[lesliedavisfox]

I just want it on record I’ve been complaining about lack of Danny lead songs for years lol. But fr, Danny’s vocal contributions, since the beginning, have been so underrated. At first, I thought TDS was 2 guys harmonizing, but the more I listened, the more I heard Danny. And just how important Danny’s voice was in that actual 3 part harmony. He has always had a beautiful, soulful voice. And they have really always been doing 3 part harmonies, lately 4 with Colton singing more. My ear can’t pick up ALL the nuances that make this band genius, but ya just gotta appreciate and give props to one that is so talented.

[piitusuvijarvi]

The world needs a band like this, I love this. And those dances. 👏👏❤️❤️

[scottapache]

I am usually so out of the loop I see music releases years after. I've never been this early for music in my life. I'm finally in the loop. I've made it, boys. 😎

[luisjimenez]

The dead south the best blue grass band, they are the only ones who deserve an award for the genre.

[MrBozod]

I've been following The Dead South's musical production for years, and it's very satisfying to see the band's maturity. Congratulations!

[jokingatheist]

As usual Dead South never fails to please. Well done chaps.
