FINALLY an artist giving Waylon the props he deserves. I am normally not a country listener - I like OLD country (like Waylon, Cash, and Shooter of course) and my husband turned me on to the "Way out Here" song (pretty much where we live) and I just have to say this song is AWESOME. I think Waylon is why I first dyed my hair blue at 14 lol. Go Josh Thompson, tell it like it is.
this man is true country. singin bout the good stuff in life like beer, women, trucks and the bible. good to hear josh comes from the great state of wisconsin.
This song Rocks!! It is good to hear some guys still holdin country music to its roots. Waylon and the boys were the best. Throw in some Bakersfield sound and that would cover the whole thing. This song is about the true country folk, at least the ones I grew up around
It's a shame he didn't make it very far on country radio. He's really good. I like that he's actually country, rather than all these so called "country artists" now who just sing rap and pop with a little twang.
Why in the hell is this dude not popular? Oh that's right. Country died. People that actually play country music are "outlaws" now. What a shame. Him and Ray Scott deserve some recognition.
Hell , country radio doesn't even know who "Waylon" is. The pioneer of "Outlaw Country".... Thank God for guys like Josh Thompson and Jamey Johnson and a few others that sing songs that recognize blue collar America still exists, and we like real lyrics that we can relate to. We don't need to hear Tayor Swift's tinee bopper butchering of country music every other song on the radio........
Most Awesome SonG about Waylon and the Outlaws... I grew up on the Album "Dreaming my Dreams with You"... this is on heavy rotation on my headphones in my helmet when I am blowing up to Dillingham Airfield to fly Planes on my 1995 Ducati 916!!!! WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!!!! FREAKING AWESOME SONG! Coming back to MIDLAND ODESSA and this song will be on when I land!!!
He never wanted to go big he played at some events now he just writes songs and sells them, Morgan Wallen even bought one of his songs. Hi I'm his cousin I could tell you at a lot about him.
All the songs I watch and listen to on youtube which are typically outlaw country songs, all bash taylor and carrie and others and I LOVE IT, Jamey Johnson, Josh Thompson, Randy Houser and Eric Church are bringing Country back, outlaw country
Lyrics I blame this new tattoo on a hundred proof bottle of whiskey And the scar on my cheek to an '84 Jeep and an oak tree Blame the cussin' on my Daddy, good looks on my Mama But as for my honky-tonk ways I blame it on Waylon And all them other outlaws Blame it on the back beat Blame it on them sad songs If I got a, don't care attitude and long hair And mean every damn word I'm singin' I blame it on Waylon I blame my ramblin' ways on that old freight train I was born on And the holes in the soles of these boots on every girl I told so long Blame my good luck on the good Lord And bad luck on the devil, but this lonesome in my soul You know I blame it on Waylon And all them other outlaws Blame it on the back beat Blame it on them sad songs If I got a, don't care attitude and long hair And mean every damn word I'm singin' I blame it on Waylon From this old guitar I'm playin' To these smoky bar dues I'm payin' You know I blame it on Waylon And all them other outlaws Blame it on the back beat Blame it on them sad songs If I got a, don't care attitude and long hair And mean every damn word I'm singin' I blame it on Waylon And all them other outlaws Blame it on the back beat Blame it on them sad songs If I got a, don't care attitude and long hair And mean every damn word I'm singin' I blame it on Waylon, blame it on Waylon
greta show that was.the yager tour was awesome.was some of this filmed at wildbills in georgia.It looks like it josh and his band raised the roof there a few months back
I've liked the songs josh has that come up on iheart a while now but lately have really been getting in to his music. this guy actually is a good singer and performer, not a one hit wonder
He "co-wrote" it and the sad thing is that this is one of the better country songs out there. The real rebels died a long time ago. Waylon would bitch slap this prick for dragging his name through this generic shite
Hahah yup I actually have but first I ask you. Do you know what made Waylon an outlaw? The fact that he told music row that it was either his way or no way. He ended up doing it his way. He then pissed most of it away by snorting a ski-hill worth of powder. He ended up living life going from bus to stage and back. Other than that, he was apparently a very isolated and distraught man. It seemed like the only way he could talk about anything was through his music. He was a pioneer. What has this guy we're discussing ever done to get called an outlaw?! He sounds just like every other new country act comin out in the growing genre called bro-countr....wait I mean "outlaw country". I've listened to many things this guys written to see if there's something I might be missing. Nope, I just plainly disagree with you. You have your opinion too and you're entitled to it. I just don't see anything different from the watered-down scene in any of his music... I may not be a talented SOB, but I'd rather be a shitty sounding nobody then a famous lie, who's just around till there's someone else coming along sounding like a cash register. In other words....."We Need A Change"
There's a reason Josh isn't played very often on the radio. One it's because no one would let him record because it wasn't mainstream enough. Two it's because he writes everything himself. Unlike almost everyone on the radio. You gotta get it out of your mind that just because someone's name isn't Hank, Waylon, Cash, or Jones that they aren't true country artists. Jamey Johnson and Josh Thompson are about as true as it gets these days.
Can't really recall Waylon ever wanting the title of an outlaw too. Unlike your apparent hero. Waylon was out to do something that hadn't been done... That's something in the music industry that was by the artist and not the way music row wanted it. THAT'S what made him an outlaw. He didn't blame some musician in hopes to get respect from the crowd who are into more traditional country. I call an outlaw doing things his own way. He Not because of what someone coined him as. As for the fact that Josh isn't played on the radio is the fact that there are a million and one just like him. Trying to use others fame as a benchmark of their own. Last time I checked, nobody ever just made it right off the hop without paying their dues on the tour bus you describe. I just think he's as real as Santa and it'll take a lot more than your opinion to change that. I just call 'em like I see 'em and if there's something I see that can change my mind, I'll swallow my pride and may even become a fan. I'll only do that if he can prove his outlaw ways and do something that makes him stand out on his own... And doing it his way. I agree that country is changing, but it doesn't have to turn into what it is now. The only things that will change it for the better is if the artists who are in the position to make a change, ACTUALLY DO!! Instead of taking it in the hoop to become famous and then saying they're hardcore.... That and getting people to not swallow all this manufactured busllshit, because there are a lot of undiscovered stars out there. Music row just don't want them because they would make it harder to control the scene
@217smiller Thanks, I knew there are people that feel like I do out there. I understand todays country radio has to work off a play list consisting of mostly New Country, but in the course of 24hrs., they can't slip in one Waylon or Merle song ??? I'm tuning out and finding my own new music on places like youtube ....I thank my Mother for playing great music on our old record player when I was a kid, thanks to her (and Johnny Paycheck) at age 8 I knew what "Colorado Koolaid " was..
@ewok631 No I'm from a small town called Sydenham up in Ontario, Canada :) my family have always been big on country music, so big that my father named me after Mr. Jennings. Proud to be a country boy.
all us real men left in America need ta stand up for what we believe in. For me that's 1. Jesus 2. America 3. American Troops 4. The country way of livin'
@WaltandPete thanx brotha, that high cost of livin song is the one!!!!! got fucked up with that and randy houser whistlin dixie, lol im Mexican live in a Mexican neighborhood lol shoulda seen the look on their faces, priceless
@biologos101 I think Waylon would be damn happy listening to this. To see how much country has progressed, and to see there is still alot of old country themes in most of these new songs that you call shit.
Seen a lot of knocks on this song and JT, guess I don't get it. Song itself is pretty good if you ask me, 1000 times better than most of the hip hop country BS stuff coming out these days. Obviously some taking this way too deep, it's just a song folks.
I was his security in this video and i own that bottle of jack daniels. this was filmed in the great city of Carbondale IL at Copper Dragon! He opened for Eric Church that night!
@WaltandPete lol trust me i been through that drama, bar fighting champ, lol. been their and done it I'm a grown man juz livin life and if people got a problem because of what i like we can go from the shoulders any day. i'm not really trippin lol but thanx anywayz.
@sickchevy1 You right about that, But for me I ain't modern Country where you have to dip, and wear camo all the time. I worked on a horse ranch I earned my hat. I will prefer the older country music to any of the newest songs.
Exactly! I'm sick of it too. You should listen to Randy Houser's song "Waylon Woulda Kicked Your Ass". I hope Randy releases that song soon because a lot of these self-named "outlaws" need to listen to that and quit trying to be something that they are not.
Most underrated song ever . Timeless
This guy is better than 99% of the so-called country stars on the radio right now
SO GOOD
@@gobills9029 Exactly 💯
I heard this for the first time on a country station. I was like wow, where did this song come from? I found it here after I looked it up.
FINALLY an artist giving Waylon the props he deserves. I am normally not a country listener - I like OLD country (like Waylon, Cash, and Shooter of course) and my husband turned me on to the "Way out Here" song (pretty much where we live) and I just have to say this song is AWESOME. I think Waylon is why I first dyed my hair blue at 14 lol. Go Josh Thompson, tell it like it is.
Josh Thompson is literally the best new country performer. He is like the Waylon of 2010.
this man is true country. singin bout the good stuff in life like beer, women, trucks and the bible. good to hear josh comes from the great state of wisconsin.
This is still one of my favorite songs.. the whole album was amazing though. Wish it would've got more traction at radio. Josh deserved/s it.
WAYLON------- THAT SPELLS COUNTRY MUSIC!!!! Glad to hear people singin about him...
One of the BEST country songs I’ve ever heard! Unbelievable this song isn’t more popular than it is.
This song Rocks!! It is good to hear some guys still holdin country music to its roots. Waylon and the boys were the best. Throw in some Bakersfield sound and that would cover the whole thing. This song is about the true country folk, at least the ones I grew up around
Damn this song ROCKS!!!! Songs like this are the reason I love country music! Rock on Josh!
JOSH THOMPSON IS THE BEST....SONG WRITER, SINGER, PERFORMER AND JUST A NICE GUY. PLAY ON!
It's a shame he didn't make it very far on country radio. He's really good. I like that he's actually country, rather than all these so called "country artists" now who just sing rap and pop with a little twang.
+Nick Ambrose Some of the Country Artists today aren't that bad
Guess where he's from? Good ol Wisconsin.
I hear this song quite often on the radio, but they play the cover by Jason Cassidy.
Country is country wide . Like my home state we’re not what people think of when they think country .. but dierks Bentley is definitely country .
Could not agree more. But he did things his own way and the record companies don't like that s***
good to hear artist bringin up the hoss of country music waylon was the greatest of all the outlaws awesome tune
Why in the hell is this dude not popular? Oh that's right. Country died. People that actually play country music are "outlaws" now. What a shame. Him and Ray Scott deserve some recognition.

This guy is really underrated! He had some really good songs but never made it big for some reason. It's too bad
I say that all the time. His live shows are a helluva good time.
He never bowed to the record companies that was the problem
Jason Smith I saw him in 2015 at a festival called Shaky Boots festival.
He never wanted to go big he played at some events now he just writes songs and sells them, Morgan Wallen even bought one of his songs. Hi I'm his cousin I could tell you at a lot about him.

Lyrics
I blame this new tattoo on a hundred proof bottle of whiskey
And the scar on my cheek to an '84 Jeep and an oak tree
Blame the cussin' on my Daddy, good looks on my Mama
But as for my honky-tonk ways
I blame it on Waylon
And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat
Blame it on them sad songs
If I got a, don't care attitude and long hair
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
I blame it on Waylon
I blame my ramblin' ways on that old freight train I was born on
And the holes in the soles of these boots on every girl I told so long
Blame my good luck on the good Lord
And bad luck on the devil, but this lonesome in my soul
You know I blame it on Waylon
And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat
Blame it on them sad songs
If I got a, don't care attitude and long hair
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
I blame it on Waylon
From this old guitar I'm playin'
To these smoky bar dues I'm payin'
You know I blame it on Waylon
And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat
Blame it on them sad songs
If I got a, don't care attitude and long hair
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
I blame it on Waylon
And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat
Blame it on them sad songs
If I got a, don't care attitude and long hair
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
I blame it on Waylon, blame it on Waylon
OMG...I think I just my new country favorite...two sons in a row talking about the good old stuff...Johnny and Waylon ❤️❤️❤️
Kinda of songs they need to play on the radio
Another great song about another legend rip Waylon
This song is incredible!
Saw him live the other night. Amazing. Nuff said.
His live shows are a blast!!
Shoutout to the Copper Dragon in Carbondale which is where that was filmed! I was there. Love that song!!
Fitting song since my newest tattoo is the Flying W with Waylons guitar design in it
greta show that was.the yager tour was awesome.was some of this filmed at wildbills in georgia.It looks like it josh and his band raised the roof there a few months back
JOSH,I haven't seen you in years pal.where have you been young man.
I asked that question all the time
Yeah dude I'm way hammered right now, let's do it!
Wow i cant believe this is 14 yrs old great song and shows im getting old
94.9 the outlaw! Can't say it enough....Real country music!
I've liked the songs josh has that come up on iheart a while now but lately have really been getting in to his music. this guy actually is a good singer and performer, not a one hit wonder
So true
This song is awesome!!! and he's from Wisconsin like me! JT RULES!
U Damn Rite Son.......U R the best songwriter in country music boy....
He "co-wrote" it and the sad thing is that this is one of the better country songs out there. The real rebels died a long time ago. Waylon would bitch slap this prick for dragging his name through this generic shite
***** Josh Thompson? Generic? I seriously doubt you've actually listened to anything he has written.

Damn Good Song!
@goppfather i partly agree, but you actually are sadly mistakin in "country western" Waylon, willie, and merle were called Outlaw country"southeast"
it sucks waylon ain't around any more =( i love this song =) =0
Good song
very true. somewhere on youtube I seen new country described as bad rock with fiddles. And that's pretty much dead nuts on.
ih1206 I think it was Tom Petty who said that.
@goppfather hell yeah brother that and big bad john
@sickchevy1 You right about that, But for me I ain't modern Country where you have to dip, and wear camo all the time. I worked on a horse ranch I earned my hat. I will prefer the older country music to any of the newest songs.
blame my cussin on my daddy, good looks on my momma... give me a hell yeah if you do too!!
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell Fuckin yeah!! Yee Yee! #waylonsfault
Let me fix that...
HELL YEAH !!!!❤️
Helllllllllll yeahhh
It’s the other way around here lol
Im a Country boy from Alabama the heart of dixie where Bocephus is from...
Like this song!!
Merci.
Do you want to give me some info to back it up?
I saw an interview where he said he grew up on a cattle farm.
Great song. Pretty much describes my life righ now lol
Exactly! I'm sick of it too. You should listen to Randy Houser's song "Waylon Woulda Kicked Your Ass". I hope Randy releases that song soon because a lot of these self-named "outlaws" need to listen to that and quit trying to be something that they are not.
solo at 2:55 is awesome
If you disliked this song..you are wrong!
this is real country, cause he is mentioning every first before him!!!! i love him
@wwolf307 why does stuff always get blamed on us? lol :P
modern country what the hell is that, waylon , hank that's country thank you
@sarge958 i feel liek a lit of people need to hear that on here.... im glad someone finally agrees
@biologos101 Since when the hell did this become Pop???
Damn Right
I blame it on Hank Jr, Jamey Johnson, Eric Church, Waylon, Willy, and of course Hank Sr and that driftin cowboy band
I swear I always thought Waylon was code for Whiskey 😂
