Tyler childers is the most slept on musician and lyrical genius of our time…..

Beatin' them strings like they're owin' me money.....what a great line

Wild enough to shoot at, natural born heathens, back sliders wine. Lyrical genius. The only artist more country than him is maybe Loretta Lynn. Pure Appalachian.

That transition to Honky Tonk Flame is everything. Here for it. All the way.

216 thumbs down ? Must be some fans of those skinny Jean wearing sissies that claim to be country giving a thumbs down. Tyler sings real country soul

As a natural born heathen, I approve of this song!

I hope that commercial radio never effects the raw emotion in his voice. He is a once or twice in a lifetime artist that gives back the promise that good music feeds out souls and heals out hearts. Thank you Tyler

"I was wild enough to shoot at too high to hit" Damn straight

Legend has it he was born in that flannel

There's thousands of talented people in the world but very few that can paint a picture with their words and make you feel like you're living in the middle of their songs. Tyler Childers is one of those guys. I love artists that tell great stories in their lyrics.

You forget how bad today's music is until someone like Tyler slaps you upside the head with the real thing.

4.8 million views, I've contributed to at least 25,000 myself.

They will never let him out of the dark people, he puts all these other phonies to shame, dam fine singer, nothing but pure emotion ...love it dude keep it real

“To often I reach for things I know that keep me from being all that I can”.

Appalachian Soul Music at it's finest! No cowboy hat's on beaches and margaritas. Just heart and soul!

I come back to this often. Please don’t let it ever leave the internet. ❤

Out on a drunk needs to be on an album

I was in my girlfriend's car yesterday and a country song came on , after I heard the 3 minute long dumpster fire, I praised Jesus for Tyler!Lord help us!

Good lord.. Tyler could sing the phone book and i'd listen. Awesome!

Tyler Childers is a throat punch to modern country music.

I been workin on a 30x40 shop, just the inside. Tyler comes on my bluetooth speaker and progress just stops. I drink a couple beers after starting the song over 2 or 3 times. I will never get shit done. But I would rather listen to tyler with a cold one in my hand than a nail gun and a tape measure. That's for sure. 👍🤙🍺

I love this dudes intensity and authenticity. One of the greatest artists out there. This is real music folks. No auto-tune here. Just raw talent, grit and soul.

Un fucking believable performance! I had to play this three times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming! Thank you Tyler! You’re killin us out here with this goodness!

I've spent most of my life ignoring Country music. But this man and Sturgill Simpson have changed that

My 19 year old son turned me on to this fella.My boy learned from ol'dad what damn good music is !

You've created music that both my Son (17yr) and I (41yr) can enjoy together. I love the soul you pour in to what you do.

How dare you talk at my soul in this manner

First song I heard from Tyler was Rock salt and nails. Been hooked ever since 🤪👍👍

Wild enough to shoot at but to high to hit. WHAT A FUCKING LINE

Tyler Childers touches my soul...some songs more then others but this man is already a legend to me👍

I'm convinced that the only people giving Tyler's videos the thumbs down are Luke Bryan and Sam Hunt fans. You know, the people that don't know good music.

This is country, a man with a guitar on a folding chair. His playing and his voice. Yes !

As a natural born heathen, i concur with these lyrics.

Man that stare when he’s singing the first few words. “I dare ya to doubt the truth coming from my lungs and c(h)ords…” 🔥

Tyler Childers prior Covid music will never be truly appreciated

Absolutely one of the finest country music artists alive today!

Beating them strings like they're owing me money and chasing that honky tonk flame....Best line ever..

He speaks from my heart. Things hard to admit. And he's got such hard and original licks that are refreshing and new sounding while keeping it traditional country. He walks a line few have ever attempted

“Natural born heathen” 🤘🏽

Joe Rogan brought me to Sturgill Simpson, Sturgill brought me here... and I'm loving this freakin rabbit hole I'm going down

Tyler, still in rough Buffalo plaid, pickin and givin the crowd the eye, wild hair pulled back. You can still see all the passion. So good.

That transition from one song to the other was so smooth, the few times i listened to this i thought it was all one song

I never listened to country. Until I found Childers

I was born, raised & spent whole life in northeast. My grandfather was born & raised in & around Bristol, TN. His impact on the person I am today can't be overstated. He was one of 10 kids raised on a farm. Never learned to read or write. Served in the Navy in WWII (which is how I came to be here). One of the wisest and most real people I've ever known. So glad I came across Tyler's music. Besides being just generally great and real the way my grandfather was, I immediately heard grandpa's way of speaking, phraseology, mannerisms, etc. It's like I get to kind of hang out & listen to him talk for a while. I can't stop listening. Thanks do much, Mr. Childers. You deserve all the success you get, and no doubt much more. RIP Jome Preston Cox b. ? d. 1989.

I listened to this music when I visited my mothers town in Mexico sitting in my mothers 100 year old house my grandparents built out of mud I sat and listened to mr Childers music I think in my 35 years of life I found myself in a very good place in my life drinking some cold ones with my family I swear they could not understand the lyrics but I know they felt it in their soul damn beers finished as if we were drinking water in the desert 🌵

Beat them strings like they owe all of us money.

His music is like a drug to me. I'm legitimately mentally and physically addicted to it. It's going to become a problem.

This is my favourite jam to drink by myself with.

I've never heard one person sing so many songs that evoke twice as many emotions.

To high to hit to low to try... damn i dont know know what id do without this mans music 😊

I think I've watched this video 10,000 times now.

George Jones asked, "Who's gonna fill their shoes?" Tyler Childers is going to be the next Willie Nelson.

This has became my new favorite song....I usually listen to it 'bout 10 times a day. I think I'm going on 15-16 right now, but who's countin'.

You really don’t notice how most people do it for the money until you see the passion that Tyler puts into it.

I live in Virginia I'm like what why haven't I seen this brilliant beautiful man until now?. Genius pure genius. 🤩😍😍

I can't get over how beautiful this is

I love me some "drinkin' songs" and this one is the ultimate. That first couple of lines.....brilliant.

Appalachia Cobain. I like that one.

We’re all heather’ins in Johnson County! Eastern byGod Ky. Hold it down old friend, you’re making us all so proud.

He needs to release both of these songs together not just honky tonk

🔥HANDS DOWN THEE BEST ACCOUSTIC SESSION ON KZfaq🔥

I'm restoring a '68 Ford. It's not been easy. I was playing Tyler Childers tonight, and things went so well, I'm convinced my car is a fan.

Best mountain music I’ve ever heard I’m from the hollers ✌️

"You were soft on the eyes and a hymn on the hearing..."

Tyler is one of my favorites. I’m a serious metal head, but I love good music in every form. Tyler, Billy Strings, Marcus King… don’t say there’s no good new music out. You sound foolish. There’s tons! All 3 of those young men and as real as it gets. And are just as talented as anyone to come before them.

Cannot tell you how many times I’ve played this and will continue to play this since the first time hearing it. This is a classic!

❤❤❤luv TYLER CHILDERS FANS....TTHANK U!!

Two of my favorite Tyler songs in one medley. Out On A Drunk breaks my heart every time I hear it. It really needs to be on a record.

I love the ambiguity in "Too often I reach for things I know keep me from bein' all that I can... like a man.". Is it "like a man" to be all you can, or is it "like a man" to reach for things that prevent you from doing so? The obvious answer is "Yes".

Absolutely some of the best country music ever performed! Inspiring doesn't even cut it!

Just found this guy. I grew up in Detroit, and that's the name of the song I listened to first. I know some 60's, and 70's country songs I've heard played in my house growing up. This takes me right back there. Amazing!

I went crazy when I finally heard him on the radio. I was so happy

One man, one guitar. Damn. Much respect. Spent all night listening to him!! Powerful stuff!

"You were soft on the eyes and a hymn on the hearin" ❤️

1] I was out on a drunk I was wild enough to shoot at Too high to hit Too low to try Try as I may Have good intentions Natural-born heathens Love backslider's wine [Verse 2] Brothers and sisters That would be bourbon That'd be 'bout the furthest Thing that I need All my born days I ain't never been decent At hidin' the demons I'm haulin' in me [Chorus] Too often I reach For things I know keep me for bein' all that I can Like a man [Verse 3] There are things I recall There are things that are hazy There are things that just shame me There are things I can't change Try as I might Too have good intentions Natural-born heathens Love backslidin' ways >[Chorus] Too often I reach For things I know keep me for being all that I can Like a man

Hot damn boy I believe you did sell your soul to the devil! I'm 44 and grew up on the old outlaw country artists and for the last 25 plus years I thought country was dead and not coming back. Then this kid comes along holy hell his stuff is so pure and from the heart it can move me to tears

This isn’t a polished Nashville artist. This man has a story to tell.

Childers, Jinks, Simpson, Meyers, Davis, & Whitey Morgan are the best music out there nowadays...hands down. Keep up the great work...Jones, The Hag, & Waylon would be proud youre keeping the flame burning

This is how it's done.

If Tyler Childers doesn't become wildly successful then the world has lost out. What's up John R. Miller!?! So happy for you, man!!!

I love this dudes style.. great song writer! He will be one of the GOATs! 🐐🤘🏼

ole boy is singing his soul and heart out , one of his best songs of many

The REAL DEAL !! His music should be all over the radio !!

Music would be a lot better if everyone had to earn their keep like this.

My God. Has he been looking into the window of my soul? He's got me nailed with the words of this song.

Am I the only one that needs a stand alone version of Out on a Drunk?

Stop teasing us Postie 🇺🇸... (Consulting Orb)... Tyler, Sturge, Stapleton and others are recording in the Utah desert as we speak, creating breathing magic...vision getting blurry..dear God is that Willie Nelson? It's country music heaven after all!

Dammit this man can sing. I love how stripped down and raw his sound is.

God blessed Tyler Childers. And all of us. Beautiful hillbilly lullabies full of rigid, rugged truth. Powerful and sinfully relatable. Thank God I’m still here to hear it. Cause there’s things I recall, and things that are hazy… mad love from Tennessee 🧡💪🏼🇺🇸.

Well done Mr. Childers. Together with Colter Wall, these dudes are the real deal. Colter drum kit in background...

THIS WIZARD, HAS BRUNG, IT ALL OUT ON THE FRONT PORCH, RAW N RICH LYRICS, HIS OWN, MOUNTAIN, SOUND, BREAKING OUT OF THE MIDDLE GROUND, HE IS AN AMAZING, CRONER , #1

I think in fact I know it's a privilege to hear this man play and sing, thank you, keep on keepin on and don't listen to the critics, you do you can't wait for the new album when you're ready ❤️

LYRICS... I was out on a drunk I was wild enough to shoot at Too high to hit Too low to try Try as I may Have good intentions Natural-born heathens Love backslider's wine [Verse 2] Brothers and sisters That would be bourbon That'd be 'bout the furthest Thing that I need All my born days I ain't never been decent At hidin' the demons I'm haulin' in me [Chorus] Too often I reach For things I know keep me for bein' all that I can Like a man [Verse 3] There are things I recall There are things that are hazy There are things that just shame me There are things I can't change Try as I might Too have good intentions Natural-born heathens Love backslidin' ways [Chorus] Too often I reach For things I know keep me for being all that I can Like a man I was out of my mind the first night we met I was feeling lonely and blue I just moved to the country to get me some rest The city put a hurtin' on you Especially a fella from Eastern Kentucky Without a penny or a worth to his name Wasting his life on a burning desire and chasing that honky tonk flame You were soft on the eyes and a hymn on the hearin' Leaving me helpless of lines To get you to listen to the way I was feeling And the plans that I had made for our night Hold on now buddy won't you wait up a minute You're mistaken if you think I'm the same As them skirts you've been chasing all over town Along with that honky tonk flame I'm a woman with a love so true Truth of the matter, I'd give it to you You just got to slow down, and quit acting that way Burning your barn in this honky tonk flame You were sweet to the touch and a touch for the takin' The minute I learned how to breed Finally found out that the love of a woman Who love me was all that I need Still on the road 'cause I ain't good for nothin' Except writin' the songs that I sing Beating them strings like they're owin' me money And chasing that honky tonk flame But I've got me a woman with a love so true Darlin' to me, but that's misses to you All I did was slow down Quit acting insane Burning my barn in this honky tonk flame

“Beating them strings like they’re owing me money”!!!!!!!

One of the greatest story tellers. Love this man

This is my favorite version of Tyler singing this song. 100%.

This is too good. I think I'm responsible for at least 1 million of the views

Best damn singer songwriter of his generation. Keep putting out music with this much heart and soul and you will go far brother. I’m definitely a dedicated fan. Keep up the good work.

Wild enough to shoot at, too high to hit, too low to try...that's poetry.

He gives me chills
