Lyrics:
Creep and crawl until you fall into that old dark room
Where you left your sins and all of your friends
Staring back the old man's lies as he watched you drown
You get up and you just splash around
Never really knowing why, they won't understand
As you hang from the tree with that look of despair
Pulling out your guns and blast another round
Oh, one of these days you got your, you got your crown
Woah oh, oh, woah
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these lands
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these... lands
Going around every day as I shoot away
Taking 'em on down to their knees to pray
Make my way up to the top, as I knew I would
Being a gunslinger is a glory and goddamn, goddamn it's good
Woah oh, oh, woah
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these lands
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these... lands
Well I got my wish, I was the best
The only problem is
I'm laying on the cold cement
With a bullet... in my head
In my head
In my head
Now I'm dead
Woah oh (x4)
Woah oh (x4)

Excuse me..UA-cam? Can ya’ll not put a double ad in the middle of a song? That’d be great. 👍
I knooow man, it's so annoying
I thought I was the only one. I've never had an ad interrupt a song until this one.
All videos over 8 minutes by default now get mid roll adds. Uploader has to turn it off
Get the brave browser, it removes all the ads...
I hear you man
I wish this would be played on country radios because this is what country really is.
Yup, instead we get this "trucks, beer, he/she cheated on me, and hunting fishing" don't get me wrong I like most of those things, but I don't want to here essentially the same song just rearranged and a few new damn words.
I believe they call themselves folk-bluegrass
Reporting in from Nashville TN (Country-music capital n' shit):
They won't but we will.
It still lives here n there but CMT is just too damn popular with fools
YES
I love their songs are like storys I love them so much
Finding this group was the happiest accident I have had. From a pure metal head, these guys are awesome!!
Greeneville Gold Silver yo same!
Me too!
Same! I saw them a few months ago.. awesome show.. I'm a metal head too
A few of the members are metal heads themselves.
Same
A moment of silence for those that will never find this.
I just stumbled on them recently and they are all I've listened to since, they are ACE!
same here - I stumbled on it
Hell No! "Those that never find this" don't deserve this. Obviously they found what they were looking for already.
Hear you man
Also I was just trying to find some good country texan music.
I'm grateful these guys were born a few hundred years late.
Late for what?
So we can hear the music ?
Yup.
i ended up here on accident 2 weeks ago and still have not left....where the eff have they been all my life?
Exactly my thoughts. Like other people, I stumbled upon these lads and haven't left yet. The music and lyrics are super and hope they will continue making songs.
Danny's cello sounds so fine. Almost makes you cry without even a word.
Solidarity forever
He was just kicked out of the ban for sexual assault on a woman
Braden Bryce Good thing her got kicked out then. A lot of bands would just overlook it.
@@maebracelin143 Yeah, but I wish they would've waited for something more substantiating than allegations posted on an instagram page.
That is literally why he was kicked out. No convictions, confessions, charges, or anything else... Just allegations against him and statements made by everyone else in the band but him.
I'm not saying he IS innocent, but shouldn't he at least have had charges raised against him, in order to ruin his life?
Under tow. Surfing term.
The song is amazing, but the cello part at the end is just epic. Makes me feel like drowning my sorrows in some whiskey. I need to write a story to this song!
This song is a story.
Do it dont let your dreams be dreams.
Amen brother.......
Agreed!
The violin solo at the back end. Gives me chills. Fucking yes
Cello 😜 and it is my favorite part..fucking gorgeous
loving it all day long
@Ben Franklin Not a stand up bass, but a cello...Danny both plays it with a bow like a cello, and plucks it like a bass. Amazing band.
@@retriever19golden55 late reply but I feel that’s one of things that makes the music so beautiful is Danny versatilities giving it a orchestra sound sometimes
This would be the fucking best song for the Red Dead Redemption 2's soundtrack.
Dominicus Augustus I agree but feel rockstar wouldn't use it.
Dude so true man i love The dead south and RDR very much
SOME ONE CALL ROCKSTAR....NOW!!
Either this or Hell I'll be in good company?
Tom Grove absolutely

Thank you good man
If this is not a masterpiece, what is? Swinging myself all around from Led Zeppelin, Tom Waits, John Mellencamp to the last part of Layla by Clapton. God was dead until now!
Not all heroes wear capes.
This would be best for when arthur gets shot in the head by micah, the rat
Live by the gun, die by the gun the law of the old west
Never in a million years did i think i could stand listening to a band in this genre of music and enjoy it. I think the genius in their songs is their originality , it's totally their genre of a blue grass with punk, dark humour, great lyrics delivered to perfection for their songs. The more songs by them I listen to the more it amazes me how much i love them. I think they're starting to get the success their hard work deserves as i cant get a ticket in the UK to see them for love nor money. For a band playing this type of music to be sold out everywhere in the UK is unheard of.
They deserve it for sure.
Well deserved no doubt
This song deserves its own video
Atlas I agree. With square dancing couples at a barn dance with some crazy shit going on in the loft...maybe a demolition derby doing on our back....
@@ShesReady2Rockhound and a looooot of moonshine
@AshTheFlash100 Dude, that'd be Art.
Just watch Django Unchained
I agree there are not many western movies anymore i really think this movie would be great for a ether new wild bill hickock or a new billy the kid or a john Wesley harden movie on how they lived and what was it really like in the 1800s and how actually if it wasn't for gunslingers shaped our country for law and order and fought in our civil war and some gunslingers went to war in world war 1 because the pay was better of being bounty hunter at well being a outlaw
This song needs to be in a Western gunslinger movie.
if you pay for my college I'll give you a universe of ideas I have for songs and tracks like these in movies and series
@@brandonk8948 what's your credit card number?
this song is a western gunslinger movie
Notice he says "on the cold cement".... this is a story of a MODERN, likely urban, gun fighter. A story told for real in cities across our nation.
@@thedumbestgenius5154 disagree. See above.
I'm a metal head and I stumbled across these guys awesome sound to me very haunting
Wow, the more the song progresses, the more haunting the vocals get and the sound evolves into something so enthralling ... indescribable beautiful )))
NymphOfTheDanube. so right!
What an amazing description!
Exactly
I mean...you could describe it as...beautiful
It is nearly a ballad. Very hard to find nowadays. It all that Justin Bieber crap sung with a tone in the voice as they actually dont want to sing at all. 2 lines and then a endless refrain with lots of la-la-la, if possible in that minute and a half radio time.
The worse about it is that those songs are written by 4 or 5 songwriters and 3 lyrics writers...... An entire factory to make musical bullshit.
We must be very carful with this band, maybe they are the last......
Such beautiful folk music. I found these guys by accident. Now I listen all the time!
I am a metal-loving maniac. I typically don't listen to a lot of country but Johnny Cash, Willi Nelson, Hank Williams, ETC. But GOD do I love me some Dead South. These guys are fucking KILLER! Great music taste to anyone that listens to them.
Dude. Likewise. Outlaw country ftw.
@@BulletSponge178 Never heard of that genre name, but I love it.
@@Evija3000 Check out Sturgill Simpson's Sound and Fury album, w/accompanying concept film. Only country I've chosen to listen to in some time.
There are two Facebook fan pages: Good Company the Official Fan Page, and Honey You the Unofficial Fan Page. 14,000 on Good Company, from all over the world, and a huge range of musical taste, including a lot of metalheads. These guys just cross all kinds of genres.
A Masterpiece of Bluegrass, Folk, Country--- it's like seeing and listening to novel or a movie about a gunslinger. MARVELOUS!
What the hell is this, rock, blugrass, country, ....i dont`t care. Just love it:)
Yes
MurderFolk. Enjoy it friend, it’s gonna end someday, just like the rest of us. But remember, even the best die young, so have some faith for the rest of us 😉
@@thegreyman1575 wut?
Good question
It's a type of bluegrass created by them, it's bluegrass with country, sometimes with rock....but at the end it's bluegrass.
My brother brought me here. This song is so deep with its ups and downs and great musical composition. Brings tears to my eyes. Much love to The Dead South!
would you be willing to listen to "the curse of the fold" By Shawn James or "the devil wears a suit and tie by Colter Wall? Both are new country artists on a similar level to the dead south.
One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. The violin/strings (espsecially at the end) are out of this world. must have heard it 100+ times by now and it's still as good as the first time i heard it! ~ From Denmark
The addition of more strings adds an amazing amount of depth to an already fairly epic track. Damn good call.
The more strings, the better
Man I thought I was a weirdo, coming to love these guys as a metal head... I can see though, I was greatly mistaken.. tons of peeps here in the same situation, and just like me, stumbled across them by happy accident.... I am sooo stoked right now though.. checked their website last year thinking I would get some tickets to get see them as one of the only three concerts in my life I will have gone too (yes, I am picky) and they weren't playing anywhere in the US at anytime soon... so signed up for the notifications, thinking maybe one day I would get lucky... Well, today was that day! Just scored a ticket to their Norfolk, VA show on 02.17.2024 and can't freakin' wait!!! Rock on all!
The Dead South, Colter Wall, Benjamin Todd, and Tyler Childers do this type of music really well.
Holdup I'ma be back real quick
Don’t forget about the devil makes three, them fellas play well too.
I'd also say Shawn James, but he does a little bit of everything in his style.
@@arsenicas3371 what do you think of it?
@@henrypaleveda7760 I loved it
This song is an absolute piece of work. The vocals, the banjos and strings at the end. It's just an amazing song. Thank you Dead South, for filling my heart with music
I grew up on country & western music, and have spent the last couple decades completely unimpressed with the twangy pop-crap garbage that has infested all realms of the genres.
Thank you most sincerely, Dead South, for restoring my faith by being the fan-damn-tastic exception to the rule.
There's a ton of good country music out there.. look for alt-country (ironic, since it's closer to the original country than the pop crap they put out these days).
only other new country worth a damn is blackberry smoke
This band I found by total accident; Oh,Lord, how could you let me miss out on these extraordinary talents??? Makes me FEEL again, after all these years of bullshit music.....
clinton wright, I don’t know. I’m not necessarily a country fan but Tyler Childers are pretty good, just not pretty enough for main stream pop country. Hope they never sell out to the big machine.
clinton wright and yea Blackberry Smoke is damn good too. One horse Town is my fave
I've gone through many moves through the years since first coming across you guys and you've been a part of it every step/drive/sleepless night.
Thank you.
what a jam why have I only heard this now
great song The Dead South I stumbled upon in hell I'll be in great company I cannot get it out of my head every song The Dead South does is amazing such a great bunch of artists I am a drummer and I have been putting drums with their music and I am hooked and yes it is grassJam and I was riding the Pineapple Express
in hell I'll be in good company (sorry)
AGREED!!!!
chuck cagle kingdaddypops check out the devil makes three if u like this
chuck cagle kingdaddypops drummer myself. and love them
check out .357 string band
I really love how I haven't seen so much love like this in a comment section in forever. Finally a positive group of viewers. And this really is some great music I love this genre
Metalhead here. Holy FUCK! Why don’t people talk about this band?! Guess I’ll start the movement. My mind is 🤯. Nobody tells stories in songs anymore. This is beyond appreciated.
Hey back again... 😄 happy days you have good taste. Tack care xx
For several years I have been listening to you on UA-cam from Poland (such a country in Central Europe :-)). respect for what you do. Big greetings :-)
holy crap it was eight minutes of Awesomeness.....
You too? I was like no way sure nuff 8 minutes it takes a good song for me.to not change to something els within that 8 min masterpiece
The whole song is so beautiful but the instrumental at the end is my absolute favourite part.
Same here!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Holy shit! Just randomly listening to a bluegrass playlist and this dark, terrifying, grim, beautiful song grabs me by the collar and makes me sit up straight.
"They say if you live by the sword, you should be prepared to die by it" Great song!!!!
Qué buenos ! ... En 60 años no ví nada como éstos... Brutalmente romanticos ... Hard top melody.
Colter walls, the dead south and sturgil Simpson I am grateful for finding you and the faith you brought back to music!!!
Home town boys from Regina Saskatchewan! Keep killing it Fellers its awesome to see friends get recognized for their talents!!
Are you a Deadpool fan?
Haha wade Wilson is canadian lol......just saying hello from Pee Eh Saskatchewan 🖕
ROFLMAO I was wondering who else would put that together literally laughing my ass off and having fun doing it!!! Keep it rocking!
Best band ive heard in a long long time. They've taken me back to my roots.
Not too sure how I stumbled upon this band, but thankfully I did. Amazing group.
Greatest Bluegrass band Ive ever heard. I cant stand country but there is something that sounds so amazing about Bluegrass. Not even comparable...
This is to good to be true, greetings from Colombia! I would never thought I'll find country this good, would totally love too see you live!
I wish these guys could play at my wedding. That would complete my life. Haha
If you're going to request they do a wedding for the love of god DO NOT request Banjo Odyssey
Unless you are marrying your cousin. Are you from Arkansas by chance?
Lmao no on both accounts. Definitely not family and I'm in Pennsylvania
salena y I hope too
Logan. Hahaha good advice make for a very akward few minutes
@The Dead South this song is a piece of art and will follow me for many years to come. Well done.
I do not like double ads. Getting worse. But, thank you for music. Save me through plague.
This one deserves Grammy!!!! May even be the best recent song I have heard!!!!!
You guys are just so amazingly talented.
Indeed! The way they bring the cello in near the end is just unbelievable! There is just so many different styles wrapped into one and they do it so very well!
The very best accidental found, hands down!! I can't get enough of you guys, your sound is so refreshing.
Builds into unfathomable composition of beauty...
he sounds like a wailing soul, trying to find peace, perfect for this type of music.
that last part with the violins are soo good !
It's all cello.
yeah I found out after I watched some more videos with them, either way it sounds great. This is becoming one of my favorite bands
Tip it over and celloo you got a bass
It's one cello
Eargasm-tastic is the technical terminology I believe!
so amazing. beautiful instrumentals. haunting voice. lyrics. and long enough ti feel satisfied and mesmerized. sooo glad to have found your wonderful band. thank you for sharing your music
The last three minutes is just overly epic
This needs 100k likes, 7 years the best song has been out on youtube but just shy of 99k likes, someone, keep up the good work!
The ending is incredible!!
Found you guys by accident and I was blown away. In love with the old, it's so nice to withness music that brings you straight back. I started with good company, but this song is even more lovely I think. The melodies are awesome and amazing. Thank you Dead South for rising back out the days that are long gone....
serious string instrument champions with great lyrics
This banjo player will be my reason for buying a banjo this year.
Every time I play this song here, UA-cam puts an ad in the absolute middle of it and it makes me wanna lay down in traffic.
Every song of theirs i hear , makes me love em more . pure class
La valse triste à la fin est absolument magnifique...Cette musique est unique dans son genre, tellement riche . Des excellents musiciens. 👍❤️
@Nathan Bergeron 👏👍 Avec Broken Cowboy c'est une de mes préférées. Broken Cowboy est absolument magnifique ! Quel talent ce groupe ! Inimitable! Je crois que l'association d'instruments originaux (une mandoline, un violoncelle, un banjo) rend le son unique.
I can't stop listening to those guys, I love almost every number ! Very powerful, love the lid vocal Nate Hilts,but I'm amazed bin the back vocals and the way how all fits together, Scott and Danny -Amazing voices and very talented young and refreshing bunch!!!I LOVE you guys,keep the creative juices flowing...Bless &Love Sasha x
I think this track is fantastic. I try to show this off to as many as possible. Absolutely amazing.
This song is a masterpiece
JUST DISCOVERED YALL..I AM HOOKED AND IN LOVE WITH YALL
The percussion is awesome. Oh and his wrangly voice. Been listening for years. Superb sound quality. Love the band and their sound.
Hey guys I realy love your music! I am from central Europe, but I think that your style is awesome! Clever texts, good tones and your songs have atmosphere! I have goosebumps all over my body with your songs!
Mistic Joe in the USA, this type of music is called "Southern Rock"
Not southern rock. Folk/bluegrass
Southern Rock is totally different.... this is grass roots Blue grass on Steriods
Dark grass?
No its not southern goth
Love all your tunes. Glad to see your hard work is getting loved everywhere!
I generally don't like country. But, something about these guys is special. I love this. Right from the first song I ever heard from them.
My boyfriend and I are from the US and just heard this song in a cafe in Istanbul, Turkey. We were instantly intrigued and are now listening to the full album. Hope to catch this band on their tour in the states!
i didn’t know i liked this type of music until now. that moment when a single band brings appeal to a genre you never liked before lol awesome
Music died for me in 2000 ...these guys just ressurected that shit :)
WOW! I found this on my UA-cam feed and all I can say is WOW! Happy New Year 2022, y’all!
I'm grateful to UA-cam for suggesting one of your songs to me and opening my musical worldview just a little bit wider tonight.
Edit- OFFICAL LYRICS
Creep and crawl until you fall into that old dark room
Where you left your sins and all of your friends
Staring back the old man's lies as he watched you drown
You get up and you just splash around
Never really knowing why, they won't understand
As you hang from the tree with that look of despair
Pulling out your guns and blast another round
Oh, one of these days you got your, you got your crown
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these lands
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these... lands
Going around every day as I shoot away
Taking 'em on down to their knees to pray
Make my way up to the top, as I knew I would
Being a gunslinger is a glory and goddamn, goddamn it's good
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these lands
I want to be the very best
Best there ever is
The quickest draw
The toughest motherfucker in these... lands
Well I got my wish, I was the best
The only problem is
I'm laying on the cold cement
With a bullet... in my head
In my head
In my head
Now I'm dead
riley sullivan I understand: staring back the old mans lies as he watches you drown.
Thx for the lyrics! I couldn't understand a word before.
Creep and crawl until you fall
Into that old dark room
Where you left your sins and all of your friends
Staring back the old man's lies as he watched you drown
You get up and you just
Splash around
Little [rhythm?], [no?] rhyme,
They wont understand
As you hang from that tree with a look of despair
Pulling out your guns and blasting them around
Oh, one of these days you got your...
You got your crown
I want to be the very best,
Best there ever is
The quickest draw,
The toughest motherfucker in these lands
I want to be the very best,
Best there ever is
The quickest draw,
The toughest motherfucker in these... lands
Goin' around every day as I shoot away
Takin' them on down to their knees to pray
Make my way up to the top
Rise [?] to the wood
Bein' a gunslinger is a glory
And Goddamn...
Goddamn it's good
I want to be the very best,
Best there ever is
The quickest draw,
The toughest motherfucker in these lands
I want to be the very best,
Best there ever is
The quickest draw,
The toughest motherfucker in these... lands
Well I got my wish, I was the best
The only problem is
I'm laying on the cold cement
With a bullet
In my head
In my head
In my head
Now I'm dead
Take the mourning on down to their knees to pray
Instead of "revelry on your mind" its: "Never really knowin' why."
Old life is dead instead of your wife is dead perhaps?
UA-cam suggested me this band only days ago and i just figured out that you guys ll play here in vienna in may. And i have to confess, i cant wait to see ya live, you 've got me right after the first minute of listening to in hell i'll be in good company. :D
I found you guys by accident, and I couldnt be anymore grateful. The Dead South is my Soul 😎💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
This song is absolute perfection from beginning to end.
Seen this band in Mattoon, IL, I appreciate seeing ya'll in such a small venue. Thanks for the tunes, great job...
You're Canadians? Kentuckians should be grateful. Damned fine art. I have a very eclectic music taste but as far as Bluegrass goes you're the deadliest band I've heard I reckon.
Yes, they are thankful for the cultural appropriation lol
@@Hellokittylatinagirl i pray ti God you are fucking kidding
I'm not. It's like they studied southern culture and decided they would try it on. It would be like if I started wearing a sari and singing Bollywood songs.
@@Hellokittylatinagirl it s an omage to a culture they are having respect for. And apparnetly they are doing it preety good
Bluegrass doesn't have to be southern to be bluegrass. That's like saying your metal band can't be metal because it's not British.
Just wow ive heard this song loads but it still has like all the songs just words cant explain how good this music is love The Deadsouth so glad i saw you guys play
Man I just want you guys to know this song makes me feel all kinds of things.......its absolutely brilliant. this song never gets old. this is TRUE art guys!! I cant wait to see you guys live
WTF!!!! Why have I never heard of this incredible before today(12/19/20). Absolutely amazing picking,bass,drum and vocals. On to my future favorite song.
For real though... How Bad Ass is this song‼️🤘🔥🤘Let's Go ‼️🔥🤘
This is the best band of all time
Seeing them in March for my birthday. My momma is taking me. Got her hooked on their music!
I have listened to this like 15 times in the last 4 days
you guys are just cool man holy cow keep going this music is Medicine.
I'm in love with this song
Awesome, that Cello ! That Banjo! That guitar! That mandolin! Hell what a group
Man, I love the Dead South. Didn't get into it at first, but damn the last couple minutes were so fuckin good, I replayed it to listen again. I wasn't disappointed.
Musical craftsmanship. This surprising, and constantly changing piece is just beautiful. These guys are so very talented.
Everyone wants to be the best all the time, I hope so anyway.
I am absolutley obsessed with this song, cant get enough of this band they are amazing would love to see them live......
There still space for good music in this world. May you keep the strength and courage to take the music back from the businessmans hands. Best regards from Brasil!
this is the only song that makes my niece sleep haha she loves Dead South just like the rest of the family ❤️
1 of my favourite songs of The Dead South! 👍👍
amazing
