Chris Knight's songwriting will never go out of style.... Sincerely glad that Larry, of all people, decided to do it some justice almost 20 years after it was written. Thanks Larry!
I take my boys for a coffee ride in the truck almost every Saturday morning and play Fleets stuff.. I know it’s a cover, but I so appreciate good music as it’s hard to come by anymore.. God Bless all!!!!
120,, I’m really sorry for your loss… life is so hard… if it’s any consolation my dad left before I was born and my mom was a heroin addict my whole life,, so you are not alone brother.. If there’s one piece of advice I could give I’d tell you to pick up a bible… I know in todays culture it sounds crazy, but 2 yrs ago I almost gave up, I had a choice therapy and meds or Christ… I picked up the Bible for the first time in my life and within days my life changed. I was unburdened from my childhood and he allowed me to be the father I needed to be… Consider it, and stay strong!!!
As a Combat Veteran I can confirm that this song hits home. Thank you I had to share with my brothers because you speak the truth God bless you my brother. Keep making great music ! And thank you Lord for another day! Amen 🙏🏽
Glad someone knows who to give credit to. Chris knight so good. Larry does do the song justice. Great version but when chris sings it it provokes those old thoughts & emotions. Damn good song though.
Now this is real country - the salt of the earth right here. What we were raised on, the values we were taught - our world needs to get back to this wholesome place ♥️
You truly are an American Songster Mr Fleet. Don't have a better way of saying how so many of your songs through the years hit home, the heart and refresh memories once put away by time and circumstance. Appreciated a great deal.
One of my favorite Chris Knight songs. Saw him perform at a public park outside Dallas in maybe 2006 or so. There were power issues so he played a solo acoustic set to the crowd that stuck around. Great show.
I think when he says without enough rope he means free time. Staying busy and always working and not leaving yourself the time to be depressed. Look up the song “lifetime or work” I’ll work till the day I die
heard him live last year. he sounds so much better live than his studio performances! not that they are bad by any means, but his live performances are breathtaking!
The first time I ever heard this song was sometime around 2001 or 2002. I was listening to KHYI 95.3 The Range and Chris Knight was singing it live in the studio. I was driving to work and it was all I could do not to call in sick and pull up to a bar. LOL
Well I work for the city in the town where I grew up Some days I run a backhoe some days I run a dump If I had other plans on my graduation day Then several years ago I guess I hauled 'em all away Yeah I hauled 'em all away She told me she was pregnant on the day I turned 18 I did what your supposed to do. I bought her a ring He didn't have to ask us, but he asked us anyway We stood up and said, "I do." what else were we gonna say? What else were we gonna say? Well I'm thankful for the things I have And all the things I don't And I've got dreams that will come true And I've got some that won't Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes 'Cuz you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope My boss man is the Mayor. I do just what he asks I mow the courthouse lawn, watch the prisoners walkin' past I'm happy to be working, instead of wearin' chains Like my cousin Willy, he's locked up in La Grange He's locked up in La Grange But I'm thankful for the things I have And all the things I don't And I've got dreams that will come true I've got some that won't Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes 'Cuz you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope There's a tavern down the highway, I go to drink some beers And wash down all I'm missin' by hangin' around here Then I drive back to the trailer; I'll makeup with my wife I kiss my sleeping children, and I get on with my life Yeah I get on with my life
Awesome song. I aint worked for my city very long but i hope its where my days end! Great group of fellas. I never really had a brother and though theyre a little more rough around the edges than i am i still gotta love em!
They've got the songwriter listed as "Christ" Knight....small error but Chris Knight is absolutely one of the greatest American songwriters of the past 30 years.
Chris Knight's songwriting will never go out of style.... Sincerely glad that Larry, of all people, decided to do it some justice almost 20 years after it was written. Thanks Larry!
I remember the day Chris wrote it. He does a much better job but hopefully Larry can make it surface 💪
I cannot wait for the day this man starts getting all the credit he sooooooooooo deserves!!!!!!!
I take my boys for a coffee ride in the truck almost every Saturday morning and play Fleets stuff.. I know it’s a cover, but I so appreciate good music as it’s hard to come by anymore.. God Bless all!!!!

Thank you Chris Knight, this is real true blue country.

I was 0321 Marine. I feel your pain brother!
This is real country. Thanks Chris Knight.
haven't heard this song in years... amazing how it can unearth long buried feelings.
Glad someone knows who to give credit to. Chris knight so good. Larry does do the song justice. Great version but when chris sings it it provokes those old thoughts & emotions. Damn good song though.
@@MikeyO615 Chris is amazing!
thanks to larry
Chris is one of the best story tellers in music. Every single song could be made into a movie.
I hope this leads a lot of people to Chris Knight that don’t know about him.
Me too. Chris deserves to be more well known!
Chris Knight can write like no one else! Saw him in a bar in Little Rock Ar in early 200O's. It was awesome
This is such an underrated song. Thanks for drawing attention to it.
Beautiful song about the men that a great country is built upon
Chris Knight is so underrated
Criminally under-rated
Just the man and his guitar. Hoss you were born for this. Keep strumming!!😊
What a great cover. Chris Knight is such a great writer and artist. Great job
Larry Fleet doesn’t miss. Most underrated, under appreciated artist in country music! Keep up the good work brotha!
There are so many artist out there. He paints with string's touching your soul instead of canvas.
We need way more country like this and less of the garbage on the radio.
Amen to that!
Idc, it hasn't even been 5 minutes since it's dropped. Hasn't been 30 seconds since I pressed play, I know it's gonna be good.
Now this is real country - the salt of the earth right here. What we were raised on, the values we were taught - our world needs to get back to this wholesome place ♥️
A lot of emotions thinking back to 17 year old me vs now. Thanks for the cover.
Dude....the only thing Chris Knight's songs are ever missing is Larry Fleet's voice
I love Chris Knight!
Gotta dis agree Chris Knight is a legend
Chris knight is a legend
@@jakelundsberg3764 I'm not disagreeing...I just think Fleet's voice is icing on the cake
@chrishall7230 I get what you're saying my friend.
Heard this year's ago chris knight absolutely amazing
Our Chattanooga Rising Star! Larry Fleet so proud for you! Long overdue! 😊
Love Larry's tunes. This one brings a tear to my eye thinking of a buddy that took his life with a rope.
I love getting Larry Notifications! This is amazing.
Nice, man! One of my favorite Chris Knight songs
Larry Fleet is about as real as country music gets. He’s the modern day Merle Haggard
You truly are an American Songster Mr Fleet. Don't have a better way of saying how so many of your songs through the years hit home, the heart and refresh memories once put away by time and circumstance. Appreciated a great deal.
He did not write this. Chris Knight did
Hahaha "songmaster" ya bud. Look up Chris Knight. Learn something on the songmaster FML.
One of my favorite Chris Knight songs. Saw him perform at a public park outside Dallas in maybe 2006 or so. There were power issues so he played a solo acoustic set to the crowd that stuck around. Great show.
This is a Great Song !!! Love some Chris Knight! Nice job on the song Larry!
Great cover. Chris Knight is the modern-day Dylan.
His voice is better than any med, drink, or drug!
The definition of AMAZING is FILLED WITH ASTONISHMENT AND WONDER,that's what the FATHER,the HOLY SPIRIT AND Jesus THINKS ABOUT You🔥🔥🔥🤯💥
I think when he says without enough rope he means free time. Staying busy and always working and not leaving yourself the time to be depressed. Look up the song “lifetime or work” I’ll work till the day I die
Well, butter my backside and call it a biscuit, if I'm not one of this man's biscuit fans! Great job Mr.Fleet👍🔥
heard him live last year. he sounds so much better live than his studio performances! not that they are bad by any means, but his live performances are breathtaking!
What a great version of a great song. The voice and guitar are amazing.
Gods plan is always better than ours ❤
Beautiful song..Beautiful life ❤
Just another great day good lord how time flys by ❤
Chris and Larry are my two favorite modern country singer/songwriters..........Larry Covering Chris is amazing!
Both are great. I highly recommend the western af channel if you haven't seen it. Some upcoming talent on there that sound similar.
Chris is the man! So is Larry! Great cover!
Can not wait to see this fella in Glasgow next month.
You are absolutely awesome! Don't change your style. Love your music.
Love Larry Fleet! Such a comforting and warm smooth voice. No matter what he sings it sounds good.
Hell yeah brother! Making Chris proud!
I'm so beautifully lost in ya music Larry 🎶
Begging for this to be released. Larry’s acoustic is chills
The first time I ever heard this song was sometime around 2001 or 2002. I was listening to KHYI 95.3 The Range and Chris Knight was singing it live in the studio. I was driving to work and it was all I could do not to call in sick and pull up to a bar. LOL
I love Chris Knight, I’ve seen him three times. Great cover of a GREAT song!!! Will be listening to you Larry!!!❤
Beautiful as always
I love Chris knight but, Larry son. You absolutely killed it. But, you always do so it comes as no surprise.
This song means a lot to me Chris Knight did an amazing job singing and writing this song!
I bet I will listen to this 100 times in the next week. I love this one!!!
Chris Knight = this generations John Prine and oddly enough they're voices sound a lot alike. Wonderful song and, as usual, Larry did a wonderful job!
CK was inspired by John Prine, personally i think CK is alot better.
Omg!!I have chill bumps!!
Love Chris Knight He was born and raised not very far from me!
Another great one from a great one! Keep 'em coming sir! @lfleeter
One of my favorite songs from my favorite artist. Great over too.
One of his best songs yet. The man is amazing.

Thank you, Larry!
Well I work for the city in the town where I grew up
Some days I run a backhoe some days I run a dump
If I had other plans on my graduation day
Then several years ago I guess I hauled 'em all away
Yeah I hauled 'em all away
She told me she was pregnant on the day I turned 18
I did what your supposed to do. I bought her a ring
He didn't have to ask us, but he asked us anyway
We stood up and said, "I do." what else were we gonna say?
What else were we gonna say?
Well I'm thankful for the things I have
And all the things I don't
And I've got dreams that will come true
And I've got some that won't
Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes
'Cuz you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope
My boss man is the Mayor. I do just what he asks
I mow the courthouse lawn, watch the prisoners walkin' past
I'm happy to be working, instead of wearin' chains
Like my cousin Willy, he's locked up in La Grange
He's locked up in La Grange
But I'm thankful for the things I have
And all the things I don't
And I've got dreams that will come true
I've got some that won't
Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes
'Cuz you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope
There's a tavern down the highway, I go to drink some beers
And wash down all I'm missin' by hangin' around here
Then I drive back to the trailer; I'll makeup with my wife
I kiss my sleeping children, and I get on with my life
Yeah I get on with my life
This is one of the best song of all time
Wow, this is a great song for all ages. God Bless you & your family. Looking forward to some more.
