Tyler Childers - I Swear (To God) Lyrics






I only had a couple drinks last night
And few good hits from an antler pipe
And I must admit, I had a few white lines
And I don't know what all happened
I woke up in the noon time light
With a poundin' head, shiner on my eye
And I don't know how and I don't why
But it feels like fierce abandon

Ah, working on a buildin' out'a hand-hewn brimstone
Workin' on a buildin' and I'm buildin' on it all alone
Well there ain't nobody in my room tonight
Goodnight honey, honey sleep tight
Ma I swear I'm doing alright
But when the evenin' comes around
I swear to God

Pay no mind to the words I say
Cause they ain't no count anyway
I been ramblin' around and led astray
By the paths that I been choosin'
Cuttin' paths like a forest fire
Pupils wider than backhoe tires
Throwin' my money on a funeral pyre
But it sure feels good abusin'

Ah, working on a buildin' out'a hand-hewn brimstone
Workin' on a buildin' and I'm buildin' on it all alone
Well there ain't nobody in my room tonight
Goodnight honey, honey sleep tight
Ma I swear I'm doing alright
But when the evenin' comes around
I swear to God

Bands too loud for their Bible thumpin'
Feels too good to not count for somethin'

Big Sandy rock, Sludge River roll
Goddamn, fire in the hole
Look out baby, I'm bound to blow
I'm bound to blow a gasket
Damn good gig, good damn crowd
Good God, for cryin' out loud
Coming off stage I was mighty proud
Then I don't know what all happened

Ah, working on a buildin' out'a hand-hewn brimstone
Workin' on a buildin' and I'm buildin' on it all alone
Well there ain't nobody in my room tonight
Goodnight honey, honey sleep tight
Ma I swear I'm doing alright
But when the evenin' comes around
I swear to God
I swear to God

  40. B.... ....

    Badass !

  41. E.... M....

    Damn this song is catchy! I love it!

  42. D.... B....

    Just Found you recently. YOUTUBE needs to adjust their algorithms for "suggested".

  43. T.... T....

    I cant listen to this song enough

  44. A.... A....

    Anyone else think the bassist kinda looks like a Jonas brother?😂

    A.... A....

    But with talent .

  45. T.... B....

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a bad Tyler Childers song. I've been searching for some time and cant seem to find one anywhere...

  46. J.... K....

    I can’t get enough of 0:56 to 1:11

  47. C.... C....

    I feel less bad about doing hard drugs when I do them while I listen to Tyler

    C.... C....

  50. J.... A....

    Good smoking music🍸🍺🇺🇸🤪🤣😎😎

  51. J.... L....

    Absolutely love it!

  52. b.... b....

    I.Love.This.Mans.Music.

  53. H.... S....

    I'm really starting to like this fucker. It helps that he is from the same area I am, and there is always so much negativity coming from here that something real and good like his music is a nice change of pace.

    H.... S....

    Hell ya man

  54. B.... B....

    Please don’t change your music, stick to what you’re doing and get our shitty country music generation back to what it should be!

  55. C.... M....

    0:57 smooth. Love tyler childers!

  56. K.... C....

    Your bass player has an amazing 'fro.

  57. 1.... ....

    I use to not really like country music. Then I heard Tyler Childers. Turns out the "country" I didnt like is that pop country trash, not good stuff like this.

    1.... ....

    The country music that they play on the radio isn't country music.... it's pop music with a banjo. Overproduced. This is country music. I think whatever the other stuff is should find themselves a new name.

    1.... ....

    All good country music involves either cocaine or crime. Them's the rules.

  58. B.... S....

    I also gotta wonder what in the hell tyler was focused on THE WHOLE SONG? Was it a TelePrompTer? A stripper on a pole? A spider in the corner “goddamnit I hate spiders! I’m keeping an eye on you creepy fucker!” Hehe

  59. B.... S....

    I watch and wonder, what the fuck did the the drummer do? He must have pissed off the band or the cameraman or the director or all three!

  60. �.... ....

    You gained another fan today. Keep the roots alive brother!

  61. S.... T....

    TYLER FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

  62. b.... a....

    Which god? I don’t think it’s Jesus father. Maybe the god on the dollar?

  63. Y.... c....

    I still cant believe my ol hometown is his hometown

  64. E.... R....

    I broke my replay button immediately after this finished, I will never stop trying to press it !

  65. E.... R....

    🔥🔥🔥

  66. S.... C....

    Duncan trussel on slide guitar

  67. J.... B....

  68. p.... ....

    May God bless you'r old sould, the good Lord will surely accept both you, and Colter wall into heaven. When we gonna hear both of yall in the same song..... it would rock the country music world

  69. D.... L....

    This is such a rad performance

  74. K.... G....

    K.... G....

    So.much.yes.

    K.... G....

    Holy shit yes. The Appalachian Cobain lives

    K.... G....

    The name of the song is actually “In the Pines”. I doubt Tyler is into playing old blues songs.

    K.... G....

    Karl Gamble that would be amazing

    K.... G....

    Karl Gamble I’m pretty sure he did a Floyd fest it was a beautiful set

  75. T.... G....
