Kelly, Ruston - Son Of A Highway Daughter Lyrics

No wonder a women like kacey musgraves wanted to write music with this man. This is just Brilliant song writing

and he skated
, Ruston ?

And he can ice skate?!? What cant this man do? Lol

Why is this song so creepy

I wish the girl was Kacey so bad y’all

Favorite
Song
Ever
(music video helps too)

Um he just did a legit axel, I’m shook!

Unfucking believable!!! Just commented on Black Magic n next vid up is this one! Dude seems to have talents beyond kickass lyrics and voice! Wonder when he was involved in competition? At least looks to me he has had some experience in the world of ice skating competition. Unless he just does for the fun??? Regardless, amazing skills, songwriting, voice (I hear Johnny Cash coming through his pipes on some of his recordings) and now including ice skating! Dude seems to b finding himself and can express himself like few I've ever heard. Guess that comes with the gift of words and music together as they do form a powerful force if you're then able to put killer melodies n choruses to them to keep the listener like me consistently blown away, track after track. Musgraves does that with Golden Hour. The progression is easy to follow while listening to her earlier work up to and until Golden Hour, just like Ruston Kelly has done from his EP Halloween to Dying Star. If this is his beginning and Musgraves continuation, can't wait to hear n see what is next. Glad to be fans of both their work!

I'm a son of a highway daughter
Born in gasoline
I traced the steps of my foolish father
And danced with the devil in Galilee
It was a cold winter, ice above the water
And nails stuck between my toes
So I pried out and I buried my doubt
And all the women along the road

And I went to Dublin county
Where I found God in a bottle of wine
And I headed up north thinking I did fine
And he worked, for peace of mind
Nobody sells that around here too much anymore

I woke up stoned with a bag of bones
Laying in my bed
She was breathing fire, I was a worn out tire
Trying to brush her ash outside of my head
It was an easy game, nothing in the chest
Needed something just a little more cold
So I traded her in for a bag of sin
And I headed on down the road

And I got lost in California
Where I'd been waiting on the days to rain
But I was looking to find any reason to hide
But no reason ever came
And all of the lonesome sounds of the streetlight
Pushing strangers along their way

That town kept calling me
That town kept calling me
That town kept calling me
But, that town kept calling me
That town kept calling me
That town kept calling me
That town kept calling me, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I'm a son of a highway daughter
Born in gasoline

As a country fan this made me feel weird. I prefer Sunday afternoon football to the winter Olympics, but to my credit, I'll watch both.

this is incredible! this is art!!!!!

@rustonkelly nice Bon Iver rip off.

I understand the bon Iver comment, but which song? Asking for a friend

Just when I thought he couldn’t get anymore badass ... his ass goes off and blows me away with his ice skating skills ... wtf!? 🤯

Bravo 👏👏👏

Now THIS is an R. Kelly I can get behind.

Let's hope this is an R. Kelly that doesn't decide to get behind you

@Duke or even in front you for that matter lol.

Idk who this guy is but he's definitely got my attention

Not into country at all! But I love this song

The entire album is great, this song is no exception. Beautiful video.

Your new album is so great! ! I love every song of it!

Been a fan for awhile. Love the new album. Cant get enough of it!

Beautiful and symbolic 💕

Amazing song!!!

What can’t this guy do?

Ruston Kelly you are a badass

multi-talented individual from the lovely Dying Star album.

When I was 4, I saw figure skating on the Olympics and I told my parents I wanted to do that. Apparently they took me to the skating rink and I hated it, so they never brought me back. As I got older, that's one thing I always wished I could do was figure skate. Great video.

What a shite song and recording. Jesus. Fucking stop.

This is one of my favorite songs. Thank you for making a video for it! ♥️

HOLY CRAP, Ruston! You really blew me away this time. Unbelievable performance! 10/10, I am looking forward to your next ground-breaking work, and I can't wait to see you perform in NYC this week. Thank you for all that you do

Just WOW!

Greetings from Cabo, México 🇲🇽
Great song and álbum!

Update: Wait. Is that Ruston?? He skates?? 😮
(Brainsplosion) 🔥🔥🔥

Instantly loved this song.

At first,I thought it was Kacey.Thank you for making an official video for this song, it's one of my favorite songs from this album 🙏

It would of been more better if Kacey musgraves would be there

They're their own artists. They don't need to be together for their art to work. This is phenomenal without her, as is her music without him.

Love this song
