Tyler Childers - Purgatory Lyrics
Will you pray for me
When the roots of the oak
And my ribcage are braidin'
If I can think
Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you
And down in the grave where they lay me low
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
When I's a boy
I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill
But all the while
I kept in mind the Lord's redeeming grace
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the city where the heathens go
You're my only hope for Heaven
Do you reckon he lets Free Will
Boys mope around in purgatory
I know that Hell
Is just as real as I am surely breathin'
But I've heard tale
Of a middle ground, I think will work for me
When the time has come for changin' worlds
I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven

Tyler Childers Purgatory Comments
I would never break up with you lol
Randomly stumbled upon this while listening to a different genre. Don't care for the religious stuff, but the guitar playing is fucking amazing. :o Great fucking voice as well!
Tyler try some Gaelic music. Slow it down and test your heritage
That’s sum mighty fine picking!
I want to break out in tap. Or soft shoe.
This guy is what country music needs.
You got to love this guy he keeps it real and he keeps joyfully flow with positive musical energy ...you all have a nice day
THANK YOU!!!
And they don't play him on the radio lol what a incredible talent
2:28
That fucking picking, holy shit.
This is country music. There's been a major paradigm shift. YouTube is where you find real music these days.
I’m sure looking back, she wishes she just ate her biscuits and gravy and waited it out.
How does he do that with the guitar. This dude doesn't get enough credit period. Keep up the amazing work Tyler!!!
Ginger has soul.
I bet his Buddy Holly impression would be absolutely insane
im honestly amazed
heres what i hear: billybobbillybobhillybillybob
don't like it
His Pugatory Album just came out a few weeks ago. My first time hearing it live. Fuckin awesome. Love this man
To all the stupid out of touch ads that come upon us.. You're out of touch with america...
Masterclass.
Here because he’s opening for Sturgill in March when I see him in Toronto, with this guy and Sturgill I’m getting every penny worth!!
Played this song in st marys hospital not knowing if i was living or dying
If your reading this your in purgatory . welcome
This guys amazing.
Tyler killed it of course but a billy strings cover would and I would die
Damn it 👏👏👏
swatch videos from 2014- to this really cool to watch how your voice has evolved
@ 2:35 Tyler’s loving it man what a guy! 🏴❤️🇺🇸🎶🎶👍🏻
Wonder if the girl from back then has seen this video?
i love the actual stories that these guys or gals in real music tell no other music like it
I am catholic and I have a catholic girl and this song speaks to me haha
Love this guy!! 👍 👍
absolutely rippin that guitar up!
that guitar!!
THAT is a motherfucker of a song man. Love seeing it live.
As a dude who's spent his teenage-adult years listening to a lot of extreme styles in the heavy metal genre... This kicks ass
Jake Ferguson Same.
Bet she feels dumb as FUCK for dumping you now
Purgatory is not real but damn good song your either in hell or heaven no in between as much as it sounds good
WOW! that is great.
Love this tune and its a Gillian Welch Red Clay Halo vibe to the rhythm.
I wanted to not like this one for some reason, like compared to others, but it's just too damn good to hate on it. Can he write a bad song?
Real country music
10/10 that is an ohio break up lmao
His music is true and has a power behind it..
He sings from the from the heart ❤️🎶
Tyler says *catholic gurl from ahia*
Me in that heartland: 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Good stuff..👍
When he nails it at 2:32 and give that little smirk!
This song is timeless... a real gem. Especially this performance. Beats the ass off the studio version! I guess that's what makes music beautiful... you can listen to a thousand songs and not find even close to this... then out of the blue... purgatory by tyler childers!
Love !!!!!!!
Dude I’ve been waiting for this sound
And that folks, is what you call "talent". No snaps and claps with a drum machine, no autotuned voice. Just some good ole fashioned real singing and beating them strings like they owe him money.
This MF’er here is ONE OF A KIND!
Dude is my favorite
Does anybody have a link for the tutorial for this song I wana play it more accurately and I’m having trouble finding one
Will you pray for me
When the roots of the oak and my ribcage are braidin'
If I can think
Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the grave where they lay me low
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
When I's a boy
I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill
But all the while
I kept in mind the Lord's redeeming grace
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the city where the heathens go
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
you reckon he lets free will
Boys mope around in purgatory
I know that Hell
Is just as real as I am surely breathin'
But I've heard tale
Of a middle ground, I think will work for me
When the time has come for changin' worlds
I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
Purgatory means your a ghost
I love it!
tfw the guitar sings as much as he does
I'd listen to you sing a song anywhere..your voice is catchy love ya hope you out do every song writer or singer
all amazing songs bring me back to winter in my f250 raising hell
Your understanding of the afterlife is deeply flawed
I might have liked the song if the man bun wasnt so distracting and basically ruined the whole experience for me
More of a folded ponytail. Try just listening to the audio you picky tit
Lovin this song!
"Purgatory"
Will you pray for me
When the roots of the oak
And my ribcage are braidin'
If I can think
Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the grave where they lay me low
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
When I's a boy
I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill
But all the while
I kept in mind the Lord's redeeming grace
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the city where the heathens go
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
Do you reckon he lets Free Will
Boys mope around in purgatory
I know that Hell
Is just as real as I am surely breathin'

I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
Dude this song is so badass.. very talented, don't ever change your ways, lil John prine🤘
This guy could write a song about installing a garage door and I’d listen to it.
@rumpleforeskin73 not bad brother not bad at all. If you can give me some chords and I'll get drunk and record it.
@rumpleforeskin73 unless you'll reply tonight, in which case I'm already drunk and I'll just record it
@p Seltzenstienburg Baahahahaa!!! Pretty sure my buddy Jack Daniel wrote most of that. ...seems like he might've had Peace of Mind in his head at the time so it might go something like that.
Right on brother no doubt!
Tyler is a LEGEND
I don't even like country or blue grass? Not sure what to classify this as, but it was mighty good.
that riff!
Can someone make a tutorial for this song?
Love Ya Tyler! I'm in Texas, and I always brag about your music. I'm a Caldwell with roots in Cherry Orchard Kentucky!
This is real country Nashville should take some lessons. Instead of all the bullshit wannabe country on the radio.
Honestly who dislikes this?
I just discovered this guy today, and I am in love. American music is ALIVE!!!!
Didn’t realize he could light up a guitar like that. Damn. Kinda always thought he used a studio musician on that track. Damn.
As a reformed Presbyterian, I neither like free will baptist theology or Catholicism but this song is great and I cant wait to see him here in Oklahoma in October!
Brother, you make me smile. Grand old Baptist roots myself. :)
how is this not Grammy material?
Love the Eagle Rare
That mofo can pick some guitar
If you disliked this you're lame asf
Boy does that take me back. My grandad and all his brothers had a blue Grass/country band together.
Heard that.
Из России с уважением. Песня выдавливает душу!
You reckon he’ll let free will boys smoke around in Purgatory ?
Mope around in purgatory*
🐐🐐🐐
Hot damn! I hit a jig like I was in Appalachian Heaven!!
Boy he can belt out some music!
I've smoke and drank and snorted plenty in my life he speaks to my soul keep going Tyler you will be a legend
Firme rola
OMG your voice is awesome!
This isn’t country, it’s folk.
Like it....great song!
WHY GOD WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE SHOTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT BEAUTIFUL SOLO BREAKDOWN.https://youtu.be/EeDTKH9AU3U?t=151
great performance by Tyler though. somebody shoot the cameraman.
2:32 pure talent on that guitar... damn
Fucking Great.
352 people are catholic! 🤣
