BAG OF PILLS (LYRICS)
You want it
I can feel it
Got a bag of pills I’ve been dealing
So I can take you drinking
Don’t tell me
About a love thing
We’ll get high and talk until morning
Then you can catch me sleeping
And all I need now I don’t want
And all I’ve loved now it’s all gone
To my head
Hell Jesus
Can you save me
Didn’t think so guess that you’re busy
Well I guess we’re all busy
Cause I remember when you told me
if I believed I’d never be lonely
Now I know you were lying
And all I need now I don’t want
And all I’ve love now it’s all gone
To my head
And life I don’t want it
If it’s so easy to die
And life I don’t want it
If it’s so easy to die
And life I don’t want it
If it’s so easy to die
You want it I can feel it
Got a bag of pills I’ve been dealing
So I can take you drinking
An Ohio singer/songwriter with a soulful, rootsy blend of country, rock, and folk, Arlo McKinley debuted in 2014 with his self-titled album. In 2020, he came to wider public attention with Die Midwestern, released on the late John Prine's Oh Boy label. Two years later, he issued This Mess We're In.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, McKinley first began singing at age eight in the choir at his family's Baptist church. Growing up, he imbibed his Kentucky-born father's LPs, listening to artists like Hank Williams and George Jones, as well as Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and Van Morrison. By his teens, he was playing guitar and singing in punk bands. However, in his twenties he began writing his own songs, gravitating toward rootsy country and soul sounds, mixing it with his varied rock influences. A troubled period involving drugs waylaid his career and found him moving away from music. For several years, he drove a truck delivering tuxedos between Cincinnati and Detroit. He eventually returned to songwriting and in 2014 released his debut album, Arlo McKinley & the Lonesome Sound. Hitting the road, he gained wider attention touring alongside roots luminaries like Tyler Childers, John Moreland, Jason Isbell, and Justin Townes Earle. In March 2020, he became the final artist signed by legendary singer/songwriter John Prine's Oh Boy Records label just before Prine's death that April. In August 2020, McKinley released his sophomore album and Oh Boy debut, Die Midwestern, recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio with Grammy-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang. 2022 saw the release of McKinley's third long-player, the inward-looking This Mess We're In.

what yall dont know is i secretly made this video too. love u Arlo & Oh Boy!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Amazing!! This is my favorite UA-cam channel. I have fell in love with so many talented artist thanks to you. Arlo include. ❤
It all makes sense now. ❤️
Man I love this also but that first video was better to me the rawness of his voice is what made it so good I really don't like the hollow echoing in this video it takes away from what makes arlo sound so good but this is great video dont get me wrong but the first one of just him an the guitar just raw voice with the imperfections is what really made you feel an relate jmi
I thought it was awfully familiar feelin'...
Arlo never let's US fans down!! This man's music is soulful,inspirational, and healing to the heart,soul and mind......
Why only his US fans?
This was the first song I ever heard of yours almost a year and half ago. It's the song that made me fall in love with you as a singer, songwriter and a musician ♥️ I love this version, too. Thanks for making the world better.
Truly rooting for this kid. Tyler, him, Margo, Sturgill, and the others have kept us going for the past year, especially.
This generation's first family of music and a smashing lineup 🤘
i love sturgill, but he doesnt belong in the conversation anymore. hes done with country music. i appreciate everything he has given us, and hes certainly free to move on, but it doesnt sound like we will get another country album out of him anytime soon. Although, i really enjoyed his last album, even with zero country music on it.
Kid?!
@@caribou2636 country music hadn’t been good in a very long time...hell, that goes for all genres...rock, metal, especially the garbage they call hip hop...fine by me, I don’t listen to anything past 95 anyway...guys like Arlo are great though...Joe Bonamassa...etc...I did like Billy Strings until I saw that satanic/masonic 33 tatted on his arm, along with the all seeing eye logos all over his guitars...”what shall it profit a man to gain the world and lose his own soul”
Don't forget about Ian Noe
@@TerryEllis1620 yes, how could I forget?!
I found you music in the darkest days of my life, Arlo. Your lyrics triggered me to dig deep and start fighting again. Forever grateful 🙏
It’s a worthy fight and your life is worth so much. Hope you’re doing well ❤️🔥🌱
This is the track I've been most excited about ever since the new album was originally announced. The Somer Sessions video was the first time I heard Arlo and became an instant favorite. It has stayed in steady rotation for the past couple of years. I love this studio version. The addition of the piano on the chorus is absolutely amazing. I do miss the Sturgill Simpson shirt by Maarten Donders, though lol. Thank you, Arlo, for making my day for, at least, the hundredth time.
Have you heard THE GREAT DEPRESSION? ARLO & Jeremy, 2man acoustic band, there on UA-cam but CD is no longer available, is old as hell
@@horror_punk_gamer9932 yeah, I found their stuff not long after I first came across Arlo. It was pretty good, too.
The one from two years ago nail it in my opinion SUPER NAILED and helped me get off drugs why cause that song made me cry so hard I feel to my knees like a little kid and I wanted to be more like you pick meself up and become something and not just a forgotten thought
That’s awesome dude, God Bless you
Yup totally agree. I was going through a super tough time in my relationship and it hit me hard . A masterpiece the sommersession was.
Are you still off drugs. Hope you are. I can’t kick them.
@@elliotthyde5623 Yes you can. I burnt up a decade that I'll never get back. You can start a new path. You should.
Kenny I’d love to. I’ve been smashing cocaine for around 20 yrs. I’m 46 now. I miss work a lot as a result. I’ve been through the steps several times but never felt a thing doing step 4.
How do you do it.
You want it, I can feel it
Got a bag of pills I've been dealing
So I can take you drinking
Don't tell me about a love thing
We'll get high and talk until morning
Then you can catch me sleeping
And all I need now I don't want
And all I've loved now, it's all gone
To my head
Hell Jesus, can you save me?
Didn't think so, guess that you're busy
Well, I guess we're all busy
Cause I remember when you told me
If I believed I'd never be lonely
Now I know you were lying
And all I need now I don't want
And all I've loved now, it's all gone
To my head
And life, I don't want it
If it's so easy to die
And life, I don't want it
If it's so easy to die
And life, I don't want it
If it's so easy to die
And life, I don't want it
If it's so easy to die
You want it, I can feel it
Got a bag of pills I've been dealing
So I can take you drinking
I love that you did this and found a recording you are happy with. The video of the live version(somersessions) will always be my favorite though
Wow. Never ever heard of this man or song.
Totally blew me away. Powerful voice and lyrics. You got a new fan.
Greetings from London 👍
Go listin to the earlier version
Brother you changed my life. Honestly. Thank you absolutely beautiful and honest. Be proud.... U who wrote this 👑
Dude. I love this. Stay on it!
It is a jam! 🤙
Thanks for bringing him to us who sub you Michael
Yeah I agree stay on it, I liked it, I liked it alout, it was good thank you .
Thanks for showing us the way sir!
Great jam by Arlo. It's my favorite song of his. This guy Brett McDaniel is good as well. ua-cam.com/video/nWpwnKcJzrY/v-deo.html
Arlo's lyrics are like a gift, that sneaks into your soul on a smooth melody.
Exactly! You get it compketely
the reason "why we love it so much" is because you can feel it and most of us can relate to the struggle of it.
Only music that’s good is “real”
Nailed it.
Great jam by Arlo. It's my favorite song of his. This guy Brett McDaniel is good as well. ua-cam.com/video/nWpwnKcJzrY/v-deo.html so true Michael.
Relate?... well ..that is one way to put it...
I have listened to this song a million times. Love it. It’s so real to a troubled life.
Real shit
This song is dedicated to all our children we have lost to the pill pandemic 🙏 prayers you all find sobriety before it's too late🤞🙏
God damn like 15% of the people I graduated with.
The SomerSessions recording is far superior to this regardless of what Arlo may think. Change my mind.
I agree... Man it made me cry and fucking smile😭😁🙏
Absolutely 10 fold better
Thank God...a voice of reason....wtf ... they butchered the fuk out of it....I hope it dont change the way I hear the other version.........I like Go flex from him he covered. And arlo stay out the the studio's with this producer ...sounded like it wanted to be a lion but the roar was diminished by karaoke presets
@@illfather7066 man I agree 100% this dude has IT he just ain't found the place he need to be yet. His music found me in a time I needed it. The Somer sessions is AMAZING
YES!
Man, this guy is the real deal. You cannot sing about it, until you have lived it.
I had the great pleasure of seeing him live this past Saturday, after Covid19 had put it off three times.
I can't put into words, how fabulous the experience was...his beautiful, clear voice...the amazing lyrics from Die Midwestern....a night to remember. I don't know why everyone doesn't know who he is...he's simply an amazing and talented artist.
Well deserved...your time has come . Dues have been paid.
I think every music lover has that one song that reflects their soul. This is my soul
How does that sound come through that juicy stash?
By far the best recording of this song. Period. Arlo's songs keep me alive when im in my darkest place. I appreciate everything you do. I need to go to Southgate tonight and try to get in for this live show. Does anyone have any info if people can attend? Ughh
I was skeptical since I've listened to the live recording so many times. I wasn't disappointed. It builds and builds and builds...then knocks it all to the ground. Love it.
Great tune from a great Musician can't wait
Arlo appears to be emptying his soul of torment. His music is beautiful, makes me cry...the torment then leaves my soul.
I love this song Arlo.and Suicidal Saturday Night.
Whatever you want
If I Could OnlyFly
It's a beautiful song. And this is a wonderful recording of it. Thank you for this .
Well Done.......Definitely the best version. Master Piece of Honesty
Hauntingly beautiful account of what drugs will do.
Been there...pills...clean since 08 thanks to Jesus Christ
I can’t stop playing this album! Good Job Arlo 👍👍
Arlo, there's no need for the chorus effect on your vox!!! This version to me is just like when John C. Riley in Walk Hard is on acid with all the instruments. No offense my friend. I feel like your original recording was timeless. No fuckin Timpani Arlo!!!!
I guess you were just busy
just stubbled across this all the way from the uk!! what a voice!!!
Why am I only now discovering this guy....amazing... runner up w nolan taylor that's a current fav of mine
Was this recorded at Sun Records? I saw the sign on the building that said "Sam Phillips Recording".
What a talent!!!! So when you coming through Michigan? Would love to see you live!!!!
Jesus nor His Father lied to you, you don't walk with the Holy Ghost that's why you're lonly...
Never disappoints. Arlo sings with such emotion. Not a song it’s a feeling it’s a way of life. Love !!!🤙❤️
Only just discovering him and have literally laughed, cried, and been all up in my feels. Dude can write a hell of a song.
Thank you Arlo. Great song, without a doubt.
I love this song but I dont like this recording of this. I feel like the live recording of you in a brown T is way better.
Song man goes off the rails and charts even more new vistas for us to live and ride his lyrical train with our eyes wide shut. Thanks Arlo.
This is gonna be awesome
Yes it is!
The original is way better. This version is trying to be something it is not. Still good though.
Love you Arlo, but I much prefer your original version of this song.
this voice of yours is speaking to my unbalanced heartless lost soul. I'm dealing w/my partner lying and constantly chat w/others and etc.. this is exactly what I needed to escape for a moment.
Holy hell. I can't believe I didn't like this guy the first time I heard him. I've been addicted to his music for the past couple nights.
Here from Michael Palmisano’s channel. Such a phenomenally powerful song.
Better version by rogue miles that you did on Gems?... man.
Wish he was on country radio, not the crap that is played now
🖤🖤🖤 ugh, this one is so good.
So glad i can listen on places other than UA-cam now! Great new album too
Pat would have been proud brother!
This is truly one of the simplest, but beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
Hellyeah love this song can't wait
I love your music man, it really is a beautiful thing.
I wish I was in a spot I didn't love this song so much...
RAP FANATIC... but Arley, I thank you. Thank you for resurrecting music. So many masks, and not enough sleeves. Feel you 1000% brother 😢. Ohio love this way, don't ever stop chasing what you deserve.

Fucking amazing I love you
Is this the David Bowie remix?
awesome - so reminds of friends - OD & Gone - OhMy !!!
quite a few gone - IAM lucky
that ALL happings for a reason -
Enjoy each other !! - goes fast >
Holy hell. I was singing along with my headphones on, and the housekeeper stopped as she walked through, made a dance move and spun around, and gave me a thumbs up. Then she smiled and walked out.
Nothing like that has ever happened to me before.
I'm choking on my own heart.
Damn good song
Loves from Montana!! Wish you were coming to UNDER THE BIG SKY in July.I love you so much!! Congratulations on your success!!!!
Let me say this first: if it isn't Cash or Willie I don't care for 99.999% of the country music released over the last 35 years or so.
Then a few years ago I saw the video for "Turtles All the Way Down" and I absolutely fell in love with Sturgill Simpson's music.
Last week I saw THIS video, and I swear Arlo has been the only thing in rotation for me ever since!
This is CLASS.
Jesus fuck. This hit home.
We like the other one way better.
Arlo your music is damn amazing.
He can save you brother
Did you just Walk Hard this fuckin song Arlo!? Why brother? Happy Birthday Brother 🖤
Your original is best
over coffee I was thinking Arlo and The Drive By Truckers should play Missouri
Beautiful sound
I felt that it's nights I've lived the song takes u through the who journey right on into the next ...badass legendary
Gets no better
This is a jam!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Too much Fx..personally (not tryin to be mean) I think this was a step way back from the other one
I like this song.
This is a fucking PERFECT song, and as much as I love all kinds of music, there aren't too many songs out there that I would describe as perfect.
The same four lines used at the beginning take on a whole new meaning when they're repeated at the end. And the journey you go on from one bag of pills to the other is absolutely MASTERFULLY crafted. Kudos, my man. That right there was ART.
Love it. 🔥🔥🔥
As a songwriter trying to get something going... I hear hope in your music. You have some wonderful folks supporting you, brother! I’m thankful Sophie Baldwin put your music in my ear. I hear so much in your voice it’s a bit overwhelming to process but I love what you’re doing! I’d love to hear someone with your talent sing something I’ve written! You just bring words to life and it’s awesome. Cheers!
Amazing!!!
FuckingA Arlo
The sommer sessions raw voice an guitar with the little imperfections was better imo that's what made the song I'm not a fan of the echoing on this video but it was great but not better than the original one yrs back
When the next show
your the best
Arlo, this is amazing but the Somer session.. man it hits in the fills... It really is the REAL DEAL man.. I love it and you brother🙏
Tried too hard bro, I loved the original more... I can feel your heart and soul and emotions in it.
DAMN
Interesting to see the progress from the great depression to now. You definitely nail our areas style. Its odd how geography comes into play with music style
I remember him playing this, in OKC, with The Great Depression. We hung out after the show. Good times❤
❤
Good song....but that mic cable is seriously bothering me....
What a song!! Just tremendously powerful. Doesn't get much better than this
First song i heard by Arlo. So great. Keep em coming
What a video.. Classic.. If I can nutshell that greatness
👊🔥❤️
Killing it brother! Keep 'em coming and I'll keep veiwing them over and over for ya
FANTASTICAL AND THE FRIEND THAT WE IMAGINED BUT WE NEVER MEET.
Fåking breaks my heart ❤️🔥
