We had a technical difficulty and were forced to re-upload our video. Thanks for supporting our amigos and please continue to share this around the webs. Thank you.
It is truly our honor. I think I can speak for the greater group here. Keeping these songs alive is as honorable as any profession. Yall seem to be the kind of people I long to surround myself with. Being able to share your music to my friends and family is a gift. Thank you for all the work nobody sees. Cheers guys, if you ever hit Idaho, you've got friends!
Ever since I found out about the Western AF channel this has always been my favorite video on here... I've always had mad respect for Blaze Foley and Merle Haggard but this cover gave me a whole new meaning to this song. I can't put my finger on it, but this cover is different than any other. Like how Johnny Cash covering "Hurt" gave it a whole new meaning. Huge props to Mr. Earl, Carlisle, and Shoulders for making this one of the best covers I've ever heard
Earlier I visited my dear wife who is living an an adult family home with advanced dementia. I put her on hospice right before Christmas and no one expects her to live too long now. I needed this song tonight. She's only 60. If I could only fly and be with her tonight.
60 is so young for advanced dementia. Watching a loved one disintegrate before your eyes is one of the saddest things to ever witness. I truly feel for you Mac. I know the long drawn out grief one feels when watching a loved one succumb to this horrible disease all too well. I hope you find some peace Mac. Look after yourself man.
Hello Mr Carlisle. I'm 14 years old and write poetry and western music myself. I want you to know how much I look up to you and how much you keep me sane on my dark days. Thanks for your help friend and keep up the great work.
That is a superb rendition, one of the best I've heard, of such a classic song from the Ducktape Messiah, Blaze Foley. Dylan's voice is gold. Love Willie's new song too.
Dylan Earl’s got that Merle haggard sound that I love. Thought that sound was lost in the past, glad to see some fellow Arkansans keeping real country music alive.
I think this video has the perfect balance of music that brings you to tears and makes you smile. Overlooking 2021 brought all the smiles of Western AF, but the beautiful rendition of "If I Could Only Fly" is just a tear jerker... A wonderful job and i still keep coming back to this video, even 2023....
54 minutes in and STILL no mention of this trio doing a collab or opening for a certain Canadian Cowboy! The miracles never cease. Still stoked for whatever these three come up with until they don’t come up with anything anymore.
What a wonderful way to end the year. Lets hope for a wonderful 2022 As always, chords and lyrics down below as well as on Ultimate Guitar. Happy pickin D tuning aka 2 half steps down, Capo on 2. You can play it in standard tuning without capo as well though Intro C F C Verses 1&2 C F / C G / C F / G C Chorus F C / G C / F C / G C Interlude C F / C G / C F / C G C Verse 3 C F / C G / C F / C G C [Intro] [Verse 1] I almost felt you touching me just now I wonder where I ought to turn and go I feel so good and then I feel so bad I wonder what I ought to do [Chorus] If I could only fly, if I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye and comin to be with you But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run Another sinking sun and one more lonely night [Verse 2] The wind keeps blowing, somewhere, everyday Tell me things get better up the way Just dismal thinking on a dismal day And sad songs for us to bare [Chorus] If I could only fly, if I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye and comin to be with you But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run Another sinking sun and one more lonely night [Interlude] [Verse 3] And sometimes, I write happy songs, then some little thing goes wrong You know I wish they all could make you smile Coming home soon and I wanna stay, maybe we can, somehow, get away And let me take you with me when I go again [Chorus] If I could only fly, if I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye and comin to be with you But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run Another sinking sun and one more lonely night Another sinking sun and one more lonely night
I think this was the most touching and fantastic thing that I've ever heard or seen! Tears started flowing before the song even got started, seeing you three doing a song together I expected nothing less than life top ten, amazing!!!
@@Willi-Carlisle you're the man, I appreciate you and yours' music a whole lot. Thanks for everything y'all are doing for us poor boys. It keeps me going some days
Dylan, Nick and Willie all in one vidja is what I'm talking about! Thank you Western AF for continually bringing joy and happiness with the artists on your channel. Looking forward to 2022 and more music! 🎵🖤🤗🙏🏽
Something about seeing these three boys together touches my heart. Keep up the good work. Look forward to hearing you play more old-time feel good, feel sad music in the New Year.
One of my favorite Blaze tunes, love this version. Would have a hard time if I had to choose between Blaze and this version. Loved the bonus stuff at the end as well. Thanks for the video, happy new year!
I think its an unreleased Willi song. he has a lot of songs hes written that just don't exist online (ex van life was non existent till he randomly made a video for it)
I only just recently discovered Blaze Foley, but after reading up on him, I don't think there's been a sadder existence. Hell, Blind Willie Johnson is close but my God. This version makes me tear up, just like Blaze's original version. Well done y'all
Please tell me these three are going to tour together soon and that they are coming to Florida. A selling point is that it’s much warmer here than in this video.
We had a technical difficulty and were forced to re-upload our video. Thanks for supporting our amigos and please continue to share this around the webs. Thank you.
Thanks! Happy New Year! Your the best!
Yo, whats the name of the second song in this video? That shits dope
have you guys seen/heard _Stone and Jess_ ??
RIP BLAZE FOLEY

Western AF does the best job of capturing what country is
Earlier I visited my dear wife who is living an an adult family home with advanced dementia. I put her on hospice right before Christmas and no one expects her to live too long now. I needed this song tonight.
She's only 60.
If I could only fly and be with her tonight.
I love ya man. I don't know you, but I love ya, try to stay strong for her.
60 is so young for advanced dementia.

I truly feel for you Mac.
I know the long drawn out grief one feels when watching a loved one succumb to this horrible disease all too well.
I hope you find some peace Mac. Look after yourself man.
Mac, sorry to hear that. My mom has dementia as well (she’s in her mid 60’s). It’s bullshit. We are thinking of y’all. -Brian
I couldn't imagine what that's like. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Happy new year, WAF and everybody! Thanks for letting me pull some bow here, @dylan earl.
I'll take the three of you doing Blaze any day great way to bring in the new year. Hope your year is happy, healthy and full of great tunes
And soulfully done at that 👏👏👏
Wili please release that outro as a single. I love it.
What doesn’t Will play? Tenor sax?
Hello Mr Carlisle. I'm 14 years old and write poetry and western music myself. I want you to know how much I look up to you and how much you keep me sane on my dark days. Thanks for your help friend and keep up the great work.
I wish I could like this this a hundred times. This is real music.
Western AF need a spotify playlist
They've got a couple. Their official playlist and a patreon curated monthly list :)
Unreal stuff :)
@@SeaWasp thank you, I shall be on it, as soon as.
I didn't expect a Blaze cover, or to be crying this early in the morning. Great cover gentlemen. Rest in peace Blaze. You died a goddamn hero.
raise a glass to the duck tape messiah!
Blaze Foley,Merle Haggard RIP,great cover of a true classic country song
What a great voice Dylan Earl have!
Good god the fiddle can tear your heart out.
blaze songs played in these settings feels so right. these are the true torch bearers
Blaze will live forever. Rest in paradise
God rest ol Blaze. Incredible cover. God Bless.
the fiddle has so much presents, nice to see it crafted in so gracefully. well done
i didn't expect to tear up today on a friday morning at work but that's where i'm at - thanks cats
That is a superb rendition, one of the best I've heard, of such a classic song from the Ducktape Messiah, Blaze Foley.
Dylan's voice is gold.
Love Willie's new song too.
that Willi song at the end is 🔥🔥🔥
this is, without a doubt, my favorite version of this song I’ve ever heard
Really warms my heart that thousands of people were introduce this great song by all time great songwriter from this video
Feck it, this is so beautiful and I am sobbing crying.
They brought all the good ol Arkansas boys together!!
Three amazing artist love all them killer collaboration
Ol Blaze would have loved to see these boys play
Dylan Earl’s got that Merle haggard sound that I love. Thought that sound was lost in the past, glad to see some fellow Arkansans keeping real country music alive.
The outro made my heart sing, such a vibe
anyone know where to find that tune? i love it so much!
@@brockbeach5079 its called The Down and Back, but Willi Carlisle. The version they sing here is extended, the one on spotify is shorter.
@@gunroard God bless you!!
Perfect songs for a cold New Years Day morning coming down. Carlisle’s fiddle speaks to my soul.
I think this video has the perfect balance of music that brings you to tears and makes you smile. Overlooking 2021 brought all the smiles of Western AF, but the beautiful rendition of "If I Could Only Fly" is just a tear jerker...

Tears flowing so freely. Holy crap!! What a stunning version!
Man blaze foley was another legend just not able to live out the rest of his life. Covers like this makes his journey live on
54 minutes in and STILL no mention of this trio doing a collab or opening for a certain Canadian Cowboy! The miracles never cease. Still stoked for whatever these three come up with until they don’t come up with anything anymore.
What happened
This is the trio I need!
perfect group for this
My god, this is a heart-rendingly beautiful version. Thank you for sharing.
Love it. Still waiting on a release of the second song
Blaze would be proud, boys.
Wish I had friends to do this with!
What a wonderful way to end the year. Lets hope for a wonderful 2022
As always, chords and lyrics down below as well as on Ultimate Guitar. Happy pickin
D tuning aka 2 half steps down, Capo on 2. You can play it in standard tuning without capo as well though
Intro C F C
Verses 1&2 C F / C G / C F / G C
Chorus F C / G C / F C / G C
Interlude C F / C G / C F / C G C
Verse 3 C F / C G / C F / C G C
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I almost felt you touching me just now
I wonder where I ought to turn and go
I feel so good and then I feel so bad
I wonder what I ought to do
[Chorus]
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye and comin to be with you
But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night
[Verse 2]
The wind keeps blowing, somewhere, everyday
Tell me things get better up the way
Just dismal thinking on a dismal day
And sad songs for us to bare
[Chorus]
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye and comin to be with you
But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
And sometimes, I write happy songs, then some little thing goes wrong
You know I wish they all could make you smile
Coming home soon and I wanna stay, maybe we can, somehow, get away
And let me take you with me when I go again
[Chorus]
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye and comin to be with you
But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night
Thanks, fellas! What a beautiful way to end an ugly year.
So much beauty in less than eight minutes💙
I think this was the most touching and fantastic thing that I've ever heard or seen! Tears started flowing before the song even got started, seeing you three doing a song together I expected nothing less than life top ten, amazing!!!
I'm just coming back to say that I'm really glad Willie put The Down And Back on his most recent album. Such a catchy little jig
thanks bubbaluh
@@Willi-Carlisle you're the man, I appreciate you and yours' music a whole lot. Thanks for everything y'all are doing for us poor boys. It keeps me going some days
Proper heartfelt music and the kind of live performance one could just pray to get to see more than a handful of times in life..!
Dylan, Nick and Willie all in one vidja is what I'm talking about! Thank you Western AF for continually bringing joy and happiness with the artists on your channel. Looking forward to 2022 and more music! 🎵🖤🤗🙏🏽
You all went out of your comfort zone for something different and it worked! Good job
Needs more likes. This kind of music I feel in my bones.
It's a SONG. It doesn't have needs. You want. That's different.
This was beautiful. Can't wait til any of these guys come on through Laramie again.
Something about seeing these three boys together touches my heart. Keep up the good work. Look forward to hearing you play more old-time feel good, feel sad music in the New Year.
Thanks to you guys!
¡Bravo! Greetings from Spain, and happy 2022.
Thanks Again Fellas 🤣
Happy New Year Fellas. Thanks for all the joy you provided last, and for all you’re bound to provide this.
Blaze foley!! The ducktape messiah!!
What a great collection of artist you got together... thank you from the bottom of my music bound heart
Amazing job guys... greetings from Brazil
Blaze lives forever
Wow. Love this version. Blaze would be so proud of you guys. Thanks for This Wonderful Upload. Regards Frank
I do love me some Blaze Foley! Thanks, guys, lovely job!
Good stuff right here! I wouldn't have thought to put these guys together, but they work SO well!
One of my favorite Blaze tunes, love this version. Would have a hard time if I had to choose between Blaze and this version. Loved the bonus stuff at the end as well. Thanks for the video, happy new year!
Outstanding
LETS GOOOO. This is literally what I asked santa for.
Beautiful video. Definitely a dream, ready to experience again with others!
Got to see Dylan and Willie a few weeks ago in Asheville, hell of a time, cant wait to see more from these guys!
wow, what talent, so well done!
Blaze Foley!
Jesus… Willi is so talented! What instrument can’t he play?
Sacred song.
If they are in Arkansas , it's Colder than a Mother-in-law's Heart there .
Need some Western AF in my iTunes and Spotify fr.
how did i miss this upload...
Man this has a real Randy Travis feel to it. I dig it.
This is really lovely
Excellent cover!
Gold! Happy New Year to all
Brilliant!!!
Sweet another blaze cover good job y'all
I could say a lot, but gonna keep it short and say: Thanks.
song at 5:00 ???? like how hard could it be to find it hahah
I'm not going to lie to you, I've been searching every lyric that I could discern and I ain't found shit haha
I think its an unreleased Willi song. he has a lot of songs hes written that just don't exist online (ex van life was non existent till he randomly made a video for it)
@@ForestGreenSharpie oooh thanks
Took me some time as well. I think it's called Down and Back and there is only one other rendition of it on the Youtoobz to my knowlegde.
@@026SH do you have the link to the video cause I can't find it
Amazing!!!
Good tunes happy new year y'all
I only just recently discovered Blaze Foley, but after reading up on him, I don't think there's been a sadder existence. Hell, Blind Willie Johnson is close but my God. This version makes me tear up, just like Blaze's original version. Well done y'all
Beautiful....Happy New Year Western As Fuck x
Awesome
That Dylan guy has some serious potential..
I love you!
This is such a synchronicity for I'm a huge nick shoulders fan and I've recently rediscovered this song!
What a awesome candid video of some of the best and my favorite artist, thank you!
Holy shit this is good!
Blaze!
loving it
What's the name of the song at the end?
the down and back - Willi Carlisle. just remembered how good this song was
Great cover! Thanks so much guys! I want to learn how to play this song on Banjo.
Happy New Years fellers
It cant get any better. Is it so or not? (I hope this continued sometimes),❤️
3 Living Legends. Can’t wait to see Nick in March with Sierra!
What is the name of the song in the end? Its so raw!
What song is that at the very end. Absolutely amazing song.
Wow! Moving rendition of a great song that touches so many. But how cold is it? Looks freezing.
Please tell me these three are going to tour together soon and that they are coming to Florida.
A selling point is that it’s much warmer here than in this video.
