Shakey Graves - Word Of Mouth Lyrics
Well I see a girl that's blue like the sea
When I go to sleep you know that she sees me, too
Oh yeah just standing around like the popular kids
Just hoping Saint Peter will let us in too
If you value the drugs, stay off the map
If you value them maps, you'd better travel, son
And if you don't want to travel then you'd better run, yeah"
[*Vocalizing*]
Yeah well I knew a king in his purple throne
You know that he had some trouble so he's all alone now
Well I used to bring him little presents from time to time
He'd sit me in his castle and he'd pick my mind
He said, "If you value your heart, stay on the road
If you value the road, stay on the top
If you value the top, you're gonna suffer son
And if you don't wanna suffer then you'd better run, yeah"
[*Vocalizing*]
Well I see my boss in his practical suit
You know I'll toss him in the cellar, won't give him no food
He holds his breath until he turns blue
He says, "If you value your job, stay out of crime
If you value the crime, stay out of doors
If you value them doors, you'd better lock 'em son
And if you don't want to lock 'em, you'd better buy a gun"
[*Vocalizing*]
Yeah, well I saw a snake in an apple tree
You know I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me, no!
Yeah he said, "It must be getting awful lonely trying to save the world;
He said, "If you value your limbs, stay in the game
If you value the game, stay in that style
If you value that style, you're sinking son
And if you don't want to sink, then you better run"
[*Vocalizing*]

Shakey Graves Word Of Mouth Comments
I fuckin love this, it's got that real "juzzie smith " vibe 😍
Not bad....kids got talent
I was going to scroll right passed this but I thought I might just give it a chance and IT'S THE BEST thing ever.... I'm happy.. ♡
I love your sound so much it's like you're speaking to my soul. Thank you for being just god damn amazing!
Aaah fresh hope .. what a talented musician and deep .. like an old soul in a young mind .. gotta love it ;0
To say the least you are a very talented man Shakey. You lost me around 5:04, there is enough evil in the world. Don't need any more. Sad to see you sing such lyrics...Take Care.
I’m glad I found his music!! I feel it all to well‼️💯🖤
Lyrics to this jam are great. Always Loved shakey now for years. Thanks for such music.
Requesting for Shakey Graves and Tyler Childers to do a song together repost this if you think they should.
4:10 is where it all starts.
Literally just discovered him. Im off on my journey! See yall on the flip side.
Is that not some of the deepest sh*t ever sung? Or is it just me..
HE IS SO GOOD!!!!!!
I need to wash the dishes wtf am i doing
I bet he could solve quantum mechanics with all those brains in his knees
It must be crazy to know you are writing the blues standards of the future
About halfway between Kings of Leon and Andrew Bird
Audiotree’s best up incoming artist???
“If you love the crime then don’t go indoors” means what ?
Crime happens on the street?
He's says 'stay out of doors'
Then warns 'son' to keep said doors locked.
Jail is inside and the free world is the 'outs'.
He's warning against getting caught in your love of crime
he looks wet and gross, but that's just me
You are a VERY TALENTED YOUNG MAN!
Does he know this song is making this many views
stop biting the side of your tongue
Waaaaay tooo quiet need to pump up the volume I have mine all the way up and can't hear it still sad
And every once in a while somebody comes along and sings somgs that pour out your heart and soul.its then that evrything will be alright again.amazing gods grace comes just in time for some of us born to live a hard life...
His lyrics could be anything and it wouldn't matter. Dude is sick
The man has a very cool soul...
its been 6 years and somehow he isnt huge yet
He shoulda been in happy feet 😆😆😎
'when in see my balls in a practial suit'?..
Ive never seen someone play like that
Just heard of you today. Trying to listen to as many songs of yours I can, so far I like what I hear.
The sound quality is amazing
simplemente me enamora este ser <3
Dude...u rock man...3 instruments and singing...and it sounds awesome....im hooked...make more ..make more..make more
Awesome performance, very engaging
the only video I wish I could like twice.
just so everyone knows 5 millions of these views were just from me, so...
I finally caught some lyrics of this song. I'm gonna try it.
Is anyone else amazed that there's still good songs left? Like, how haven't all the good tunes been used up by now?
i double like shit that i've liked cause i like it so much and cant like it enough. <3
I am trying to process what I just heard and saw. I can not. Thank you breaking my brain, this is amazing
Give me more!!!! 😍🤩😍🤩😍😍🤩
Got a kings of Leon sound to him, but unique, love him.
Finally You Tube recommendations nails it. Fuckin A.
Chills. No words could even begin describe the privilege of hearing this man's gift & what he awakens inside of me.
Chills.
I absolutely love you guys!!🤪❤️😊😛😆
Shakey when you coming to Japan. Would love to see you.
I had to go back and rewatch the video after reading all the stupid ass comments so that hopefully I would know wtf they were talking about. No such luck. Pretty sure they were all on something.
So many o u seem dazzled that shakedog can keep rythem with both feet, fingers, voice, n ears at the same time...
Tgis is a common trait in humanity. Consider yourself in the lower accord of us if u cant. I for one luv shakedawg. But i consider it commonplace and have my whole life.
I would like to know the down thumbs?
God damn this man is easily one of the most expressive musicians I've ever had the honor of listening to. What a wonderful soul.
I love this song

Spread that by Word of Mouth
You’re so beautiful, hon! Thanks for sharing it❤️
He must be a Gemini . Flawlessly doing so many things at once .
I'm obsessed.
Sasha Arbuckle lol just said that like30 min ago. obsessed. yes.
Love this guys style 👌 I'm a guitarist/amiture musician myself who's done a fair bit of busking, so I know how difficult it is to play a drum and tambourine to ad that very effective percussion to what your already doing with a guitar and vocals in the way he does takes skill!
Fuk everyone who didn't like this Masterpiece of music
God you’re beautiful
Years later and still fantastic if not better.
So pure! Just loved that he did everything himself, that was kind of the cool stuff about him, but now he has a band and it sounds like shit :(
Above the near-perfect tempo, this guy is very talented with the lines. It's refreshing to see originality in the age of cardio b & the Kardashians. I hope this really makes it.
This video has a 26:<1 like to dislike ratio, and it deserves it
This is adiccitve
WOW1 my new fav
C’est vraiment magnifique
A t’il une page YouTube ?
Another great performance! Just a genius ahead of his time with a gift I'd kill for.
Anyone watching in 2019?
I certainly am!
Yes grilled lettuce indeed🍄
Smokey Graves is so damn amazing.
stop trying to always invade my youtube
Wont give him no food............ damn dude your voice is HELLA FANTASTIC
Insanely good
Absolutely no offense to Shakey, here. But I think his audiotree session sounds better that his albums! He sounds so much better doing all this on his own! He's so talented. His voice and instrumental method here is perfection.
Amazing skills awesome voice and guitar and lyrics, how you time all the things at the same time with a perfect tempo wow 👍👍👍👍👍
I need permission to post these songs on my Youtube channel. They may be from 2013 but they should have millions of views. I'll link it back to here. Pretty please??!!
A m azazing wow what a talent lyrically and musically never seen such skills 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It blows me away how great this man sounds and how amazing his music is!
This is so goddamn unique.
how my mood changes @ 3:15
So wildly talented
The starting beat is SOOOO CLOSE to Smoke and Mirrors!
So good. I really wish he would have taken his music more in this direction, I love the gritty bare barebones vibe. Maybe I haven't heard the right song, but his new top songs on spotify sound like flaccid mainstream pop.
To anyone that reads this. I've recently gotten into vinyl records...any suggestions of good albums I should check out would be greatly appreciated. Any genres welcome! Thanks in advance!
If someone could just delete that other annoying dj voice plz
My nephew tasked me at Thanksgiving to check out Shakey Graves. Have now done so...and...am stunned! Somebody convince me this young lad doesn't have an old musical soul....much older than he is in years. From what I've seen/heard he prefers and thrives with his old suitcase and tambourine vs a modern digital studio and the temptation to change his tunes into electro--pop top 40....so he can be 'cool'! He be cool?
I like shakey, and maybe im just misunderstanding him, but this sounds like a bunch of gibberish to a good beat
This shit sucks
What kind of mic is that?
can we talk about those tempo changes? No drag! instant! its amazin'
I knew a king in his purple thong. Lol i love this guy
The Little Prince
Who authorized the wife-beater?
🤓❤🌹
Your music is so inspiring and beautiful!! YOU ARE GREAT! :)
