"Don't call it a sign of the times when it's always been this way" True! Great song!

[johnjackson]

One of the best songs of the times, write this one in stone for the records. Genuine badass human

There's a voice that I can hear sometimes out here on the mountain
When it's dark and the sky is pouring acid like a fountain
Memories like coal dust stain the window of my eyes
So ask them no more questions they can't sell you no more lies
I hear voices all around me in society's depression
Over and over they all recite their first impression
The rivers are all crying but the ocean cannot speak
Until her waters crash into uncharted shores so dark and bleak
How I wish somebody'd make these voices go away
Seems they're always talking but they don't have much to say
A picture's worth a 1000 words but a word ain't worth a dime
And we all know they'll go on talking til the end of time
Don't call it a sign of the times when it's always been this way
Voices behind curtains forked tongues that have no name
They plot their wicked schemes setting fate for all mankind
With evil that can fill God's pretty skies with clouds that burn and blind
How I wish somebody'd make these voices go away
Seems they're always talking but they don't have much to say
A picture's worth a 1000 words but a word ain't worth a dime
And we all know they'll go on talking til the end of time

I keep coming back here. I'm an older man now, from the mountain.

Forked tounges behind curtains… he knows his shit

Thank y'all

I would love to hear Sturgill cover Four Walls of Raiford

Got into an debate about country music with 2 of my cousins who moved away. They said "country music, like Morgan Waylon? (yes that's how they pronounced it) we love him!!" Sent them this one and All Around You. One never responded and the other said they were too sad, only like the upbeat country.... but if it made one feel something, maybe there's hope.

Your eyes well up an you get goose bumps

[martybeckman]

I like this song and 1 other song just cannot make my mind up which one (1) is my favorite!

[FrankChesser]

This is very good reminds me of Waylon

Great song, reckon the acoustic version he played on jools Holland was the best

"I hear voices all around me in society's depression, over and over they all recite their first impression"-sounds familiar, written in 2014
