Why can’t the pimps in Nashville realize, THIS is the country music we want to hear.

I’ve never come across a song that needs to be put on Spotify so bad. So much better than the album version. Incredible

Me as a grumpy old man to my grandkids in year 2052: "Listen up you damn kids. Life aint fair... I'm still waiting for Sturgill to upload the YT version to Spotify."

I’m glad this song got popular on TikTok, after 10 years, this shit is finally getting the recognition it deserves!

He's channeling Waylon hard. And I love it. Thank you Sturg for doing your part to keep country music alive!

Jamie Johnson woke me up from my country nap. Sturgill just slapped me in the face. Awesome.
