I saw him for the first time going in totally blind. He was at the Peach Music Festival in Scranton, PA in 2022. Him and his boys absolutely blew my mind away. I've seen literally hundreds of live performances, and after that Strings concert ended, I knew it was the best live show I ever saw. I know I sound like a paid advertiser but I'm dead ass for real, it will absolutely change your life to witness him live. I'm also super happy I had no notion of what they'd be like prior to seeing them. I think Billy Strings's band is hands down the greatest concert you could bring someone to without them ever hearing a song beforehand.
A man on his deathbed reliving his life and feeling regret while experiencing peace... HOW THE F can Billy understand this at 28?!?! We are witnessing the next great American songwriter, Dylon, Petty status.... let alone one of the best pickers there ever has been. Can't wait to see you in Detroit man!! Thank you for this!
Ahmen to that! Isn’t it a privilege to feel less alone in a world that’s seemingly getting harder to understand every day. I feel like he’s said enough to keep me sane.
I understoodd that at 16 kids are smarter now days when it comes to knowing what we are feeling if i start singing the songs will be Appalachian blues that's all i know is the blues can't work or nothing definitely can't play the guitar like billy his song writing is not to far advanced for me by any means than again I'm bout to be 20
Damn this is a great song. Billy Strings just continues to amaze me. His talent is so complete, as an instrumentalist, a song writer and a singer. He is a true gift to the world.
To be fair, spending quality time with very old people and listening to them helps, but yes, Billy Strings is a truly great songwriter and picker. In my 70 years, I've never heard one better.
Well there's nothing worse than feeling Like you're first in line for losing I thought my life was cruising then it crumbled all away I had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgotten Unnoticed like a stranger I'll surrender for the day Well this night was an illusion It came down like an intrusion I stay up through the night though I can't stand it sinking low I'm a witness to the fight between The darkness and the light You're a mean old world I'm leaving though I have no place to go You're a mean old world I'm leaving though I have no place to go This old world took me for a ride I lost everything I had and then my pride So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go And this old world she took me for a ride I was raised when I saw ugliness To try to make some beauty Found purpose in the duty when I couldn't find the shore What beauty couldn't lift just simply floated on adrift Rolling on directionless and lost forevermore It goes from bad to worse sometimes Before it can get better I string some words together and Just try to speak the truth I have a lot to get, I hope my lot will be forgiven Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you This old world took me for a ride I lost everything I had and then my pride So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go And this old world she took me for a ride When I lay my body down I'd like to Feel the dirt beneath me And the howling wind could sheath me and I'd finally be set free For a moment you can yawn and Throw my things into a pile My dawn is finally here and Yours might come in just a while My dawn is finally here and Yours might come in just a while This old world took me for a ride I lost everything I had and then my pride So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go And this old world she took me for a ride This old world she took me for a ride
I'm sitting on my porch my best friend head is in my lap .We aren't queen just good buddies listening to billy tell it like it was.Preach Billy were listening.

I read through the comments and it almost brings tears to my eyes the people this song alone has touched.
I finally saw billy last year Boston he is a beast def go see him it will change your life

Your damn right son

This time, you’re right
Understatement. He's better imo
I too, am on my way out. Was a fan of Bob Dylan and Billy is the greatest poet I have found since. This song is my request for my funeral!
Listen to For A Dancer by Jackson Browne
@@ellanjeranek173shit, all of Jackson's double acoustic album is amazing! In the top ten for me.
One of the best songs probably ever written
Absolutely
Amen
Everyone who feels inclined to say something about this song-we are all blessed that he’s reached us with such a message.
Billy sounds like Doc, Rolls like Clarence, Accurate like Tony and I would be so honored to pick with him someday!!!!!
"Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you" That's the line that got me. Good stuff.
Billy makes me want to dance while I cry. Best therapy ever!
Absolutely, brother.
I second that emotion my friend.
Lol for sure , just lost my uncle to the kingdom of God and billy is therapy fo shizzle
@@matthewmorin1984 so sorry for your loss!
Same. Love you.✌️
Damn this is a great song. Billy Strings just continues to amaze me. His talent is so complete, as an instrumentalist, a song writer and a singer. He is a true gift to the world.
"You're a mean old world I'm leaving though I have no place to go."
How I feel very frequently...
This album came at a perfect time for me. Thankful for all the beautiful art you make Billy. Keep doing your thing
To be fair, spending quality time with very old people and listening to them helps, but yes, Billy Strings is a truly great songwriter and picker. In my 70 years, I've never heard one better.
My absolute favorite song on this album, Love yall!!!!
Humanity must see the shadows and darkness to remember we are the Light!
Very true Mike
This song rings the hugest bell for me of all time.
My favorite song for the night..... minute 1:04-1:10 is the best thing ever.
Honestly beautiful. I heard this on a cross country trip and am not familiar with this type of music. I love it.
Go see him live. Always a crowd full of love and pure happiness
Well there's nothing worse than feeling
Like you're first in line for losing
I thought my life was cruising then it crumbled all away
I had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgotten
Unnoticed like a stranger I'll surrender for the day
Well this night was an illusion
It came down like an intrusion
I stay up through the night though
I can't stand it sinking low
I'm a witness to the fight between
The darkness and the light
You're a mean old world I'm leaving though
I have no place to go
You're a mean old world I'm leaving though
I have no place to go
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
I was raised when I saw ugliness
To try to make some beauty
Found purpose in the duty when
I couldn't find the shore
What beauty couldn't lift just simply floated on adrift
Rolling on directionless and lost forevermore
It goes from bad to worse sometimes
Before it can get better
I string some words together and
Just try to speak the truth
I have a lot to get, I hope my lot will be forgiven
Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you
Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
When I lay my body down I'd like to
Feel the dirt beneath me
And the howling wind could sheath me and
I'd finally be set free
For a moment you can yawn and
Throw my things into a pile
My dawn is finally here and
Yours might come in just a while
My dawn is finally here and
Yours might come in just a while
This old world took me for a ride
I lost everything I had and then my pride
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go
And this old world she took me for a ride
This old world she took me for a ride
You're flying child! Fine singing and playing from all of you.
Billy's stuff is just so relatable. Nice to have this around. I'm grateful.
This is a daily listener.✌🤍

I was searching for the lyrics to this song; I’m about to write a sermon on life. On pride. This song is a sermon in itself.
