Y'all better thank Rodney Crowell for writing this song.

just when i"m about to give up on country along comes a guy like chris stapleton to renew my faith. he even has a steel guitar in the band. i have died and gone to heaven.

That steel player is a badass

Chris Stapleton has saved country music. His amazing wife too.. They make history by singing some older history like Waylon Jennings !!

I have watched this video at least 50 times and never get tired of playing it. Chris rocks this Waylon tune. Chris is the new country I have been waiting for, for a long time. Job well done.

Just to clear something up. This song was written by the great Rodney Crowell. Waylon would eventually cover it..

This man has many God given talents, song writing, guitar skills, but undoubtedly his vocal skills are unmatched. Doesn't matter what he sings , he owns it, and once he has sung it, no other version measures up. Have seen him twice in concert, hope to do so this summer as well. So glad I discovered his music in 2017. Nothing's been the same in my music world since

Chris and Morgane are magic together. I'm so glad she encouraged Chris to share their talents with the world. Chris has an amazing voice with ability to make us feel the music.

Am I the only one who likes these two. everything this man sings is good.. 🤓👍

Gotta love the passion chris has for this song. Rip Waylon.

My Lord.....Chris Stapleton singing with Morgane dancing and Everyone else playing their solos Awesomeness 💃 ⭐️🤠💫🎸❤️🎤🎧

I'm a Waylon-for-ever fan, but DANG. These two are just the best

Chris Stapleton just rocked the hell out of that Waylon tune, and loved every second of it.

There isn’t many that can do Waylon justice. This gent is one of them. Morgan fantastic too! Real country

The incomparable Buddy Miller on guitar!

Guy on slide guitar is fucking sick,like really wow.

LOVE this rendition ... even Waylon is smiling ... and I love the way each musician gets his moments; especially the Steel Gitarist

This man has over 1000 songs under his belt, But just a few for him self. It's about time that he And his wife are starting to get the credit they have worked for.

He's the greatest.but can't be waylon.no one will ever be waylon. We miss you waylon $

This guy might just save country music!!! It’s hard to cover the hoss but Chris nailed it

Waylon is very proud and smiling from heaven

Morgane's energy during this performance is EVERYTHING. this her jam and you can tell. Yaaassssss sis

I love Stapleton. He’s like a southern version of Zakk Wylde. And what a great band!

One talent overlooked,he seems to be a good husband and father,all around good people

More proof that KZfaq is the greatest invention of all time

The coolest thing about this video is that Stapleton's playing a Jazzmaster amongst some country heavy hitters. Buddy Miller on the Dano. Yes.

He's kept alive alot of songs done in the1970's, by Waylon, Willie, Jerry Jeff Walker and Gary P. Nunn, among others, like this one. He does them justice good to hear

LOL Chris can hardly contain himself being surrounded with all these musicians hitting the spot with their solos.

I'm so glad this man came along just when I was starting to lose faith in country music when we lost the late great Waylon Jennings . My faith has been resurrected . Unbelievable talent . Much Respect ... Thank you for sharing ...

I love watching the steel guitarist face! He is great to watch and especially to listen to! But then anyone associated with Chris or Morgan’s are great, or they wouldn’t be there. Talk about class, perfectionist and performing and giving the very best you have to give at each performance. That is what you get every time you go and listen to them. They wouldn’t be themselves to give any less.

you can see the whole band and are into this, its so alive, and Chris is the icing on the cake, with all the textures in his vocal chords of steel.

nobody's gonna mention mr Buddy Miller's solo?! let me then

Theres a lot of talent on this stage...WOW!!!

They made this a whole new song just saying. The vibe off of the whole band is everything.

The new Johnny Cash And June Carter Cash of country. A true country icon idol and legend is born people. On a live rise to the top. This is country. This is feeling.... This is music. I have been waiting for this so long to get this feeling back. That good country music in memory of the great Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, George Strait... And many others.

I don't know who the guy is playing the steel guitar but I've been playing music 30 years and he's the best I've ever heard on the steel

Two years and more Stapleton's added to their Family (Damn call u Bunnies!) Best friggin version of RC s Song

There is nothing like the feeling you get aka at the 3:11 again at 4:46 min. mark when Chris yells YEAH...Because you know...your band is on fire & burning down the house!

Grew Up in Houston off of wayside drive.... Good oh Waylon..... Texan Boy

Yup! Nothin' but respect for Mr. Stapleton! That dude has all the DNA of a superstar and he's put in the work to get there. I'm not a huge country music fan but I think I've liked everything I've heard him do.

Micky Raphael always bringing his spirit with his Harp.

Fabulous, fantastic, great, talented, could never run out of adjectives to describe this man's talent!!!!!

All i can say is I like this song.

Saw this live the other night in Knoxville Tn. ( 10/26/18). Marty Stuart was up there with him pickin the fire outta his telecaster too. Let me tell you, they did it right !!!

My dude at 1:27 kills it. Such a fun performance

I’m 40. By the time I’m gone, CS will be in the pantheon of the greats. May already be.🤷‍♂️

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that the guy behind Chris is identical looking to Waylon Jennings? Also Chris please do more covers

Country music's newest Outlaw. Give 'em hell Chris, keep bringing it to us!!!

Almost forgot! Thank You, Rodney Crowell, Too!

He needs to put this song on one of his albums!

Amazing. Super talent surrounding you. You can’t sit still listening to this. Such unison. One if the tightest performances I’ve seen. Bravo….

Thank u for keeping the outlaw music alive an your beautiful music is awesome you give me hope that the real music is back again thank you for sharing your awesome band and I'm still listening to your music 🎶 in Northern Canada 🍁 country in 2024

Sumbitch, this was refreshingly damn good.

What are people talking about? Its is rocking! The vocals of Chris and Morgane are made for it and the band is laying down the best licks - steel guitar, drums, guitars, piano, harmonica. All together it is a treat and you cannot keep your feet from moving. Quit analyzing and/or comparing this cut. Just listen to it and move.

Robbie Turner on the psg and the guitar solos are awesome. Long live Waylon Jennings and his songs. Well done Chris Stapelton

Hats off !! to All the people That make Chris sound beautiful... it take a village!!!

What a band…you got a lot of greats up on that stage. Some of the best at their instruments ever.

Can't be performed ANY BETTER!

That's the amazing Buddies Miller on guitar. He played for Emmylou and also Patty Griffin. One of the greats.

Whole band vibing tf out 😎👍

Such a humble cat, him and Luke Colmbs, exactly how I want my country stars to be, amazed to be there and thankful to the people that bought their stuff!! And props to Chris for dancin with the one that brought him!! His wife is an amazing singer and they go everywhere together!! Respect!!

Waylon would be proud!! Awesome job Chris!

Absolutely great! Killer performance from both Stapleton and wife AND the band! That brunette back-up singer was the cherry on top :-)

this man is the REAL DEAL !

"I Ain't Living Long Like This" is a song written by Rodney Crowell for his 1978 album Ain't Living Long Like This. "I Ain't Living Long Like This" was first recorded in 1978 by Emmylou Harris as a track for her album, Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town. - I wondered because I had that song by EmmyLou back in the 70's.

Waylon would be proud son, top class!

One of my favorite Waylon songs, and chris does it justice as he does EVERY song. He is a true talent.

I’m always a fan of the original version, except for this cover. . Damn! It’s good.

The blond back up singer is a knock out. HOT

My favorite Waylon song covered by the master. This is wonderful. The whole band is having a blast.

UPDATE!!! I asked Alexa to play Chris Stapleton ain’t livin long like this, and this exact live version played! It’s on amazon music!

Love Chris Stapleton he's a little SRV & Clapton & rockabilly❤️❤️❤️

AWESOME TALENT and he makes you feel his lyrics, knowing they are coming from the soul and he's rock'n it to a whole new level!!PLAY ON BROTHER AND SHOW EM HOW'S IT DONE

I just found this video, and so glad i did...... WOW! such a great job, Waylon would have been proud of Chris Stapleton for doing such a wonderful job on it too, and thanks to all the Great musicians for their help to bring it all together , Thank You

This version kicks ass, don't misunderstand me, BUT, one of the hidden reasons why Waylon's version is so good is that kick drum on the off beat. You gotta listen for it, but its what makes Hoss' version unique. Go listen for it. Nobody else's version has that same kick drum pattern. This kicks ass though.

Man, I could listen to this all day long.

Blows my mind how good this couple is. Nobody can top them

I been a fan since 2015,anit living long like this.awl ya. My Dad would like this one ,J.L.G

Just when I think he has done the best in country music..Chris sings another hot song!!

Every single person in this video is having the time of their lives! Pure Joy! Pure FUN!!

Woohoo! Love this song!!! Steel guitar...awesome!!!

Wish Waylon was around to see this

You give me Chills in arms friends ! What else ? Thanks, Thanks, thousend Thanks !!!

This era's June Carter and Johnny Cash. They are fabulous 💖💖💖💖💖

Damn Chris and Morgane Stapleton are amazing and the entire Stage Performance ⭐️🎶⭐️🎶⭐️

Having a blast, while making it look easy. Some real talent all around on that stage.

This is a really GREAT version of this tune--love it! I believe the song was actually written by Rodney Crowell.

This is my giddyup music that I put on first thing when I start the car......never tire of it

I would love to see Chris Stapleton and Hank Williams Jr do a song together... it would be AWESOME!!!

Allright Chris! Doing Rodney Crowell, and Houston proud Keep on rocking Baby!

Wow, this one kills me. I saw Waylon in the mid 80's, I'm sure he would approve. That steel player I remember well too.

This is awesome! One of my favorite Waylon songs written by Rodney Crowell and covered by Chris Stapleton!

Damn right. Now I need a beer. Awesome

Wow! Great rendition, I’m glad I found this.

Like Stapleton says ain’t living long like this, I get it. You know our situations. You’ve been trying I’ve been denying. Always happy to hear from you. Luv the wave and drive by. Friends!

Buddy Miller did the first lead guitar solo. Hes a native of Fairborn Ohio. A lot of my kin from Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee moved their years ago for work opportunities. It was part of the Appalachian mass migration to midwestern rust belt towns known as the hillbilly highway

Just found it and on my 12th in a row listen. I may just keep on

Waylon if you want to hear it like it's done

Love to hear Chris Stapleton sing
