Tyler Childers - Matthew Lyrics

One of the best songs that I have heard from these guys.
Matthew ...
Just a song about a guy.
A song that evokes so much emotion with poetry and damned fine music.

This song is so damn good! From the lyrics to the singin, to the pickin, and that fiddlin??? Whew... outstanding!

Love it.

Youngest son's name is Matthew.

I fuckin love Tyler Childers. This guy gives me motivation every day to keep on keepin on even though this life is nothing but fuck shit out here in California.

I worked at the depot and met “Matthew” Really neat song

But if he hung out with my family for six months he might have a chance. Reason why is we are a bunch of no body's

This pussy will never be a classic

Playing in Denver in april... makes me wish I could handle cities and crowds. Part of me wants to buy the tickets anyways and try... damn my mind!

81 people are brain dead idiots. Tyler’s the best thing to happen to country music since Chris Stapleton joined the steel drivers

What is a shitshot?

Brad Miller a bad shot in a game of pool

Currently deployed in the middle east I agree fuck this sand! This one hits home.

Extremely cool that he gives a shout out to Clarence White. Tyler is the man.

i feel that cover art lmao even when im not tripping scrotum

See that wheat type thing below Tyler's feet? That's a satanic cross (google it). He sold his soul when he signed with RCA records. You hate to see it, I was a big fan.

Sure dude, whatever.

First of all that wheat type thing is goldenrod the Kentucky state flower where he is from...as far as Satanic cross, well there’s a lot being represented here. And I don’t think he sold his soul to RCA
This man is a good one
So take your bullshit elsewhere

This is my favorite song right now, I've listenwd to it like 25 times today at work lol

I Listen to TC in Iraq all the time, helps me though this deployment for sure. The long hours in full kit, IDF etc. dusts the soul off I guess. Keep on making them gems sir!

Works the night shift at the depot
With a pistol and a light
And he guards them rusted missiles
Countin' whitetail to pass the time
And he's worked there for a long while
Since he came home from overseas
Helpin' Kilcorn fight the good fight
And bring Baghdad to its knees
And it was hotter than the mountain
But it weren't so he couldn't stand
And it weren't so much the heat wave
Nearly as much as all the sand
Now his daddy, he's a lockman
With a good leg and a fake
That he got off of a buddy
And a shitshot that he made
And he worked them hands to splinters
And he raised them youngins right
On a little bit of scripture
And an acreage of paradise
And he'd go out on the weekends
And he played like Clarence White
Clarence, but had a real job
Picked the guitar when there was time
Keeps a trap line in the winter
Keeps a line wet in the spring
On a lock wall fishin' muskie
With his eldest and Steve
And they swap tales about their raisin'
And they tell the office lies
And they go home when they've the notion
And the muskie quit bitin'

And they tell the office lies - I heard awfulest lies, except he says it in the Appalachian dialect so it is pronounced Off-List

Tyler is one bad ass writing sumbitch!

When a song has your name in it, it dont matter if it's worth any count or not. Gotta love it

There is so much life in this music <3

I’m waiting for Banded Clovis II : Dalton Drill

Lost lake could work

Just good music 👌

Thank you boys

When i hear a tyler song it makes me realize how bad all other music is

love him
but disagree

like Clarence white im guessing like the Kentucky colonels with his brother Roland Clarence and gene parsons invented the B bender , Gram and Phil my there pact at clearances funeral , clearance was killed by a drunk driver loading his gear after a Ky Colonels show clearance was one of the greatest pickers of all time, most plp only know he was in the Byrds but he was so much more

Jeff Poe that’d be the feller

heck yeah man, you know how us country folk do it! I didn't hear one damn word about a tailgate on a friday night and shine either... Nashville don't know a damn thing about country anymore

Cliftyman amen brother I work for Nashville and I was driving through broadway and the god awful horseshit I had to listen too was horrible they need country music singers like him and colter wall

I'd run across the river just to hear him play

Colter wall is better

I'm a big fan of both

A Madison County song if I've ever heard one.

Okay Tyler Childers didnt know if you knew this about Muskies. They never bite in the first place. Lmao

It looks like he is inspired by Hinduism.

Marcus Aurelius don’t look too inspired to me

Tyler with guitar and fiddle accompaniment is top notch

38 people must be from Baghdad👳🏽

Pinhoti Man 😂🤣

Has no one noticed the satanic cross made of that snake and that plant yet?

Totally is lol. Just looked up what it looks like an that'd be it

Whatever

where do I purchase a poster of this album cover

Ahhh...Andrew. The Banded Clovis of Country Squire.

This... This Tyler is why we all love your music so damn much. Keep up this style and you will separate yourself from the rest! 👍🏻

#eatingbigtime

2:58 "Keeps a trapline in the winter. Keeps a line wet in the spring. On a lock wall (?) fishin' muskie"... love it!

Charles Wood “Kill Quran” maybe?

Charles Wood or Kilgore, the surfing Officer from Apocalypse Now

It's "helped the kill Corp fight the good fight an bring Baghdad to it's knees". That means he was a Marine who fought in Iraq, I'm assuming in '03, I think that's when we got Saddam.

It's a lock wall as in a canal lock

@Jonathan Nutt Louisa locks and dams

I get to watch the revival of country music

To the 19 people that gives this a thumbs down ..... Come on back when you reach puberty you'll love this song then . Great new album Tyler , I thank you for keeping country. God Bless

What a golden voice sir thank you sir have a beer on me 🍻🍻

That feeling when your favorite artist writes a song about his biggest fan...it's a good day!

My name is Matthew, I frequently work night shifts, and if I’m not mistaken it’s at the very Depot he sings about. No pistol or flashlight thought, but I was almost important

If you work where I was born and raised, Richmond Ky, then it is the same depot

It's about his brother in law, so unless that's you just a strange coincidence lol

Thank you for what you do.

What a god damn jam

So sexy

Making country music great again! Thank you Tyler!

Sturgill Simpson brought me here

This new album is terrible. You need to go back to bottles & Bibles and Purgatory.

This Album is mixed so damn well.

definitely my favorite track

This is one of the few songs on this album that has the twangy/wailing wildness that the outlaw masses are pinin’ for! Don’t let the mainstream clean you up too much Tyler!

Best song on the new album.

This, house fire, and country squire are the best ones IMO

@Trump Train20202020 house fire is literally radio "country"...

This album is fuckin gay. Wtf is this shit.

I don’t need any other music than Tyler Childers

I'm a straight man and I wanna have your babies. You restored my faith in modern music again.

Better than 99% of the mainstream “artists”.

Another awesome song... Good job brother

Thank you for real country music....

Killin it as usual, been following you a long while now, never a disappointment

Thank you, thank you, all hail Tyler!! Deep from the heart, mind and stings !

This thay fire.

Keep up the great work, it’s about time someone sings real country music. It’s even better it’s a great Kentuckian

he will go down as one of the best to ever do it.

Tyler just don’t ever sell out!!! We’re counting on you to keep making GOOD music

I'm glad Tyler is finally slowly blowing up, been on my Playlist for a long time

the sitar tho 😤

See good brother, I ain't begging you to like me I'm just telling you to leave my fucking freedom alone chief Three Stones, Cherokee, nations as we don't socially engineer that well with the likes of freeloaders and cry-babies... yeah see!

This is bi-sexual yoga music. Just because it has a fiddle and banjo doesn't mean it's country.

You’re a fuckin dork

not cool Luke, not cool

thank god you don’t think it classifies as modern country 🙌🏼

Cool Hand Luke being jelly is something you should not share

How dare you CHL

Love you Tyler! Hope to be at your show December 11

Only other good song other then house fire and all yourn kind of disappointed tbh

Creeker, Gemini, Bus Route...I'm sorry your ears are infected

Not to mention Country Squire is a damn masterpiece.

This is keeping me super chill at work

I believe he’ll end up being a classic in our generation

Damn right

Been listening to Tyler for years. The best out there!

He already is!!

They'll look back on people like him like the outlaws of the past who were blowing Kenny Roger's annoying music out of the picture, except they're blowing Luke Bryan's annoying music out of the picture.

Way to make my Friday ole son!

Im glad this happened on a Friday 🍺😁

I dig the cover art!

Tyler wrote this about his Brother-in-law. Great song about a great man.

Best thing to wake up too 🙌🏻

Hari Krishna

Canadian here, loving all your tunes. Keep it up buddy! Bought tickets a couple weeks ago to see you play in Toronto. And Fuck am I excited!

Adam Cleary Cole harbour Nova Scotia here

Minden, Ontario 🤟🏻

Being on this side of his amazing creative process is a treat for the ears and soul...omg love love love

Anyone else going to see him in Tulsa Oklahoma?!

His music is great. I am thankful to have found Tyler’s art. What’s amazing is he seems to write and sing so effortlessly. I don’t mean it’s not work. I’ve seen his live stuff he puts in a lot of work preforming. I mean the lyrics and chords he writes just always seem perfectly matched.

Mr. Childers you have helped people in more ways than you know. I thank you for your hard work and dedication.

Hunter Brad hell yeah!!!!! 🙂🙃

Meg Thomas tickets are pretty cheap too. What’s your favorite song from this new album?

Hunter Brad I love all yourn’ (of course) and ever lovin’ hand. I need to listen to the rest of them on the new album. What about you?

Meg Thomas house fire probably my favorite. Idk. The more I listen to the rest the harder it is to pick a single favorite.

Meg Thomas so you play dead by daylight?

This is the shit that should be on the radio! Can’t wait to see ya in October!

I woke up at 3am remembered the new album was out and let's just say I ain't been back to bed!! Morning beers and Tyler Childers!!!!

Peter Cakebread love it! Morning beers and Tyler Childers, should be a song!

Not gonna lie, I set an alarm for the release of the album so I could could baked and listen to album in it's entirety at 4am. It's sounds like if country had evolved the right way after the highwayboys lost traction.

You cant drink all day if you dont start in the morning!

Great album , not as somber as Purgatory but awesome job .

A sitar !!

Tyler Childers is Awesome!

The drunks around me wanted me to say you can play and sing really good.

rebel_deere HAHAHAHAHA

rebel_deere Hell yeah haha

Geniuses 💙🎵😆

Hahah nice

That's good form for drunks. Usually just piss the bed and trip over everything 🏌🏿‍♀️

His songs stick in my head

Is it out yet???

It dropped at midnight

Man this is so good!!!

Been waiting for some real music for 30 years. Thank you Tyler, my only problem I have with you is that you weren't around when I was 18 years old.
Keep it out of the dirt brother. I'll be following you until it's all over.

Damn, you never fail to amaze me

Yes sir

Thank you Tyler for bringing life back to country music

Great now I have to stay up listening to the new album

You know why I'm here.

Amazing as usual! Loving the banjos!

Man. You never dissapoint! ☺☺

Tyler Childers is the most underrated country star for the past couple of years. He puts the mainstream (with a couple exceptions to shame).

@Anon Nevil Stapleton is good, but if you look back at the songwriting and solo acoustic performances, he can't carry Tyler's flannel shirt.

No exceptions.

@Poet Squatch I love them both - in today's music scene I would take either one over Luke Bryan, Florida Gerogia Line, Kane Brown, Marren Morris, I can keep going with the posers........

So true and very correct 🤗

Jake Bumgarner the only think Cody jinks has is a good voice. His songs sound so elementary in the writing

Whoever mixed those banjos did a magical job when listened through headphones

Well Sturgill produced. So thank him lol

Pretty sure that’s a sitar at the beginning. Could be wrong.

Hosscat03 you’re correct that is a sitar

Stuart Duncan plays the bluegrass instruments on this album. He's beyond talented

@Jake Neuman
Close enough to perfection for me
