About Tyler Childers:
Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky is a little town called, Paintsville, where the economy is dependent on the dying coal industry and a tradition of music thrives with the US 23 Country Music Highway Museum and Butcher Hollow. Carrying on the music tradition is native son and current Lexington, Kentucky resident, Tyler Childers.

Paintsville is located in the Big Sandy River Valley of Johnson County in Eastern Kentucky made famous for its lawlessness, religion, and booze, and a song about a horse thief, a rambling man, and an attempt to gain some good ol' Appalachian self-justice is what "William Hill" is all about. Following his "Papaw" around to the Kentucky social institutions – church events and barber shops to name a few– as well as a lot of coon hunting with his dad, Tyler has heard a tale or two about the misadventures of a few good ol' boys and he gives his own spin of these accounts behind a whisky-soaked voice well beyond his young age.

Lyrics:
Early in the morning when the sun does rise
Laying in the bed with blood shot eyes
Late in the evening when the sun sinks low
Well that's about time my rooster crows

I've got women up and down this creek
Where to keep me going and my engine clean
Run me ragged but I don't fret
Cause there ain't been nothing slow me down just yet

Get me drinking that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to the high wall
Throw them in the river and get your fill

We been sniffing that cocaine
And no better feeling when the wind cuts cold
Lord its mighty hard living
But a damn good feeling to run these roads

I got people trying to tell me Red
Keep this living and you wind up dead
Cast your troubles on the lord of lords
Wind up lying on the cooling board

But I got buddies up at white house road
They keep me strutting when my feet hang low
Rot gut whiskey gonna ease my pain
And all this running gonna keep me sane

Get me drinking that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to the high wall
Throw them in the river and get your fill

We been sniffing that cocaine
And no better feeling when the wind cuts cold
Lord its mighty hard living
But a damn good feeling to run these roads
Damn good feeling to run these roads

When they lay me in the cold hard clay
Singing them hymns while the banjo plays
Tell those ladies that they ought not frown
Cause there ain't been nothing ever held me down
Well the lawman, women or a shallow grave
Same old blues just a different day

Get me drinking that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to the high wall
Throw them in the river and get your fill

We been sniffing that cocaine
And no better feeling when the wind cuts cold
Lord its mighty hard living
But a damn good feeling to run these roads
Damn good feeling to run these roads
Damn good feeling to run these roads
Damn good feeling to run these roads

Outlaw country deserves to make a comeback. These pop singers calling themselves country is a disgrace. Keep em coming.

[mathewrodrigues]

Who else couldnt stop listening to Tyler after first hearing him. His voice is haunting in a beautiful way

[aaronapostol]

I don't always listen to Tyler Childers, but when I do, so do my neighbors.

[Savagegardn]

This song gets better every time I listen to it.

“Lawmen, women or a shallow grave. Same ol blues, just a different day.” Hits hard

[lukebruner]

[darrengee]

This is SO much better than the album version.

[LornesKitchenChair]

I really appreciate how he doesn’t fake the accent like most country singers do. THIS is what a country accent sounds like.

[cattycakes]

The purity of his vocals and the rawness of his guitar are truly splendid. Love him.❤

[copperhead]

I'd pay hard earned cash to see this man play!

[noneyayeast]

"Lawman, woman, or a shallow grave, same ol blues just a different day"
No truer words ever spoken!!

[betsareoff]

This is real country. Roots and all. I need me more of this.

[elliottperry]

[justinharp]

[AustinBriggs-wr]

Brother this is one of the best songs that I've ever heard personally

[miketempleton]

Now I know how my Grandpa felt the first time he listened to Hank Sr.

[Addicted_MotoX]

Anyone else get chills when they hear this song??

[mikem]

as I approach 67years old this song seems like a map of my younger days, when things were simple and people just left each other to live their own lives. nashville has went the way of tight jeans and everybody sounding the same. tyler childers is the real deal.

[thomasdickson]

The reason Tyler isn’t taking over the country charts is what’s wrong in this country

[johnsimms]

Went to school with Tyler played baseball together. Always been an awesome guy and an old soul.

[rebeccalyle]

I do think Tyler Childers could unite the world!!!❤❤
