Lyrics:
Life's a casino, I'm tellin' you
And everybody's playin', boys and girls
Women, children, me, and you
The dice are loaded and everything's fixed
Even a hobo would tell you this
Welcome to hard times and feelin' low
Do you like sinnin'? No?
Well, you will before you go
We've got lots of gamblin'
Oh, and we're tellin' lies
You're certainly welcome to hard times
Take a look in my eyes
Tell me what you see
Besides the bright blinking lights
Stretched out in front of me
I wonder if you'll notice
Would you even care
If I told you my life just isn't fair?
Welcome to hard times and feelin' low
Do you like sinnin'? No?
Well, you will before you go
We've got lots of gamblin'
Oh, and we're tellin' lies
You're certainly welcome to hard times
Yes, hope you're feelin' welcome to hard times

Charley Crockett, Colter Wall, Sierra Ferrell, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson and many more.... Country music isn’t dead, you just gotta know where to drift, and where to look.
Don’t forget midland
I will suggest Pokey lafarge and Orville Peck.
I agree....country studs with 2020 vision
Listen to Randall king
czcams.com/video/7vTwnRdNMVA/video.html Just found this guy, B. Carlyle. Still pretty unknown but definitely in that category too!
Keeping the historic sound of real country music alive. If you're listening to the radio, you're filling your ear's with hot garbage.
Big ol vibe for the world right now.
You're welcome
For real
To hard times...
Shut up
Yesh!
He’s got that kind of voice that “doesn’t exist anymore” you know?
it very well does exist you dingus. turn off the radio and you'll hear it...
@@RainyFoxUwU funny enough, I discovered Charley Crockett through a public radio station. Best thing to happen to me since the 'rona ravaged our shit up.
@@RainyFoxUwU where? This man is one in a billion if you ask me and his whole presence screams "American Icon"
Ramones kinda vibe
That's exactly what I thought. I swore this guy must have travelled back in time. It's not just the sound that reminds you of the country music of the 60s, but even that voice. Nobody sounds like that anymore.
Boy o boy, the best story telling singer I have heard in a long time, I'm 71 years old and I love his music👍👍🤠🇺🇸
Damn. It's 2020, and that there is a country song, folks.
try nick shoulders, snakes and waterfalls. im serious you will not regret it
@@RainyFoxUwU He's got a lot of gold. His latest album is really something special for country
Charley’s picking up Johnnys torch, people just haven’t realized it yet.
Please tell me the old country sound is coming back.
Seriously please Lord!!
From what I’ve been seeing lately..it is
There's lots of artists that have been playing very traditional country music. If you need recommendations, I'm happy to help
@@cszollinger if you don't mind
Absolutely! There's so many honestly. Here's a few of my favorite kinda hardcore country/more traditionalists: Whitey Morgan and the 78s (honky tonk), Hayes Carll (country with some rock and soul influences), Colter Wall (folk and old cowboy songs), Daniel Romano (except his last few releases), and Kelsey Waldon (her latest record is fantastic). Check out CZcams channels like Western AF and Gems in VHS. They do live sessions of lots of indie country and folk artists and some really popular ones like The Lost Dog Street Band/Benjamin Todd. There are also lots of Red Dirt country guys like Reckless Kelly, Cody Jinx, etc that are really popular too, so you might check them out.
Alright, I can't lie, I'm having a crisis right now. I heard this on the radio on the Wind River Reservation last week. Usually a lot of older country, Haggard, etc. etc. I hear this come on and dang if I didn't fall in love with it, surprised that I had never heard it before. I just barely managed to catch the name to look up later - funny, I'm pretty versed in the old stuff and I'd never heard of anyone named Charley Crockett.
Now I find out this shit is from 2020?
WOW.
Pop country can suck this soooo hard.
I'm sorry you're going through hard times right now. Hope you find something easy soon!
This song is new. CC's next album comes out in late July. Hang in there!
Great tune and video, sorry you are having tough time. Seems everyone I know is having major "CRISIS" sending love and good vibes your way! I'm having problems too! Like never before :(
This can start you down the rabbit hole of fantastic modern country.
factssss
This is song is suitable for two occasions:
Occasion one:
A fallout game set in the Midwest
Occasion two:
2020
Idk man option 1 and 2 sound kind of the same to me lol
@@Jake-ur5gi Fallout New Minnesota
ASadPuppy as a Minnesota boy... YES PLEASE!!
Fallout: USA
This one is going in my New Vegas playlist
“Oh and we’re tellin lies” he pulled out the Johnny Cash voice real quick. I love it!
No more like Sanford Clark
Eh not really bubba. I get what you're saying, but he doesn't sound kinda, sorta or anywhere near Cash
Thumbs up! God star for you, good song!!!!!!
Great song. Great video. Even better coat.
That coat hard 🧥
This comment 💁🏼♀️🖤👍👍👍👍
And even better album!
Fuck yea I came here to comment about that badass coat
Lmao.
I'd love to hear charlie and colter wall do a duet and or album together.
You mad bastard....I like it 😎🤙
Uh-huh!👍🎶
get Benjamin Todd in there. form a super group like The Highwaymen going again.
Let's get Sturgill Simpson in there too
Malt likky?
True pure country music. All the mainstream eat on this
Classic country in modern times, helluva deal, I’ll take another serving!
Whoever staged this video needs a freaking award.
Yup! It was shot in California and Nevada, I believe.
@@HighSierraDrifter Yup! Went there this year too, right in Lone Pine
@@HighSierraDrifter Absolutely dude
the Joshua Trees look like the land near Beatty Nevada
@@clintonr.6581
This is the song we should have played on New Years 2020.
No kidding. Can we PLEASE get to 2021 now? (There's that little matter of COVID-19. Plus an election this November in the meantime.)
Absolutely
@@ajkohlhepp1624 bet you wish you never said this lol
@@ajkohlhepp1624trump 2024
Just when we thought we we're cool- we'll never be Charley walking through a desert cool
*desert
The higher up u hold your guitar, the more country u r
I'll hold mine above my head then.
Same with the height of your hat?
I thought the same thing!!!.
Ty. I needed that laugh.
Noice
Real country. Not this Pop Country crap that's coming out nowadays. Thank you, Charley.
Good voice, good music, good style, he writes his own songs...and he’s from Texas 🤠
Actualy raised in europ
What you on about he was raised in Texas and part of his life in New Orleans
That panned out snowy walk at 2:32 gives me chills.
Such a good shot
I can't believe I just found this tonight 10/15/22. This is the kind of country music I remember listening to while fishing with my grandpa. This is the kind of country music I've needed for years.
Same here. Just saw him on Trevor Noah. THIS is the country I grew up on with my Grandpa. ❤
Don't feel bad, I just found it and it's 2024
I just found him today
I just found it too 3/9/24
It's a shame ol boys like Crockett won't ever get the appreciation and air time they deserve.
I really appreciate his talent, and what he's trying to do for country music!
*Side Note:* Can someone explain to me the symbolism behind the clock and the random old rotary phone in this video?
Comedy Bros just keep supporting and spreading the word...this music deserves to be heard
Seems like maybe air time is a thing of the past. Charley seems to be doing everything right if you ask me.
I hear him on KXT and The Ranch radio. Probably others too... anyway not a day goes by I don't listen to at least a CC song from my own CDs or records or even just catch myself singing or humming one to myself.
@Your Barista
That's plain and simple. He infuses his songs with a mix of Texas blues, classic country, and Cajun soul to make really timeless tunes. It brings me back to the 50's era of country music. All of it reminds me of George Jones, Ernest Tubb, T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Reed, etc.
His lyrics are always fantastic, and they're sure to tell a great story. I've also never seen someone make such original album covers as he does, as well.
His music ain't for everyone, obviously. But for me, he's one of my favorites! I really appreciate the guys that "go against the grain" of the mainstream, and sacrifice fame/popularity to give folks great, original content.
Charley Crockett and Orville Peck are my kind of country music
Life, just isn't fair.... you're certainly welcome to hard times.
Someone needs to hear this...Keep your head up as this to shall pass. From one loving heart to another, keep on keeping on!
Same gose for you man, keep it easy
Lifes a garden... dig it.
Your simple words of positivity are very uplifting. Keep it up, stranger.
Way of the road. Way she goes
My hard times are permanent.
First time I heard this, I was almost certain it was a cover of some little known, forgotten gem, originally sung by a country legend!
Never new hard times could sound so good. Fair the well Mr Crockett.
I'm standing up and clapping in my living room. Bravo.
I've come to the understanding that this album is not the just the best album of the last year, but one of _the_ greatest country albums of all time.
This man's swag is on another level.
This guy knows what's up. It's midnight and fate just rang your number.
My new favorite artist. Thank you Charley Crockett
Another certified banger from Charley Crockett
Nuclear Hippo yes sir
Damn 😲 this sounds like good ole country from back in the 50s-60s and even early 70s.
👍😊🇺🇸
Can you recommend some good old country records that fall into this kind of genre? I was raised on Classic rock, metal, and punk and just now getting into country. I kind of don’t know where to start. I know Hank, Willie Nelson, Waylon, and Cash, but none of that even really fits into this “cowpoke” sort of sound. Marty Robbins has it, but who else? I love it and I just don’t know where to go.
@@bl00df4rt Buck Owens, Farron Young, Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Rogers, Red Foley, Ernest Tubb, Stonewall Jackson, Sons of The Pioneers, Tex Williams, Roy Acuff, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Johnny Horton, Lefty Frizzell, and Webb Price
I listened to this once at work and was like "meh" then I heard it on my way home from work, and then I was like, "WELCOME TO HARD TIMES!" Now it's on repeat till I don't wanna hear it no more.
I'm so glad I found these songs. God bless these singers.
It’s the truth to life
Country music is soooooo back with Charley!!! What a sound!!!!👍👍👍

I like The Dead South is a folk-bluegrass musical ensemble. Start with songs Broken Cowboy and Spaghetti.
If you played this for someone, they might guess it's from the 50's...but everyone's always welcome to hard times in any year.
If this pandemic has a soundtrack, this song is on it.
Bravissimo Charley. Maravilloso cantado
Heard Charley last night in New Orleans and he was powerful. Treat yourself and go to a Charley Crockett concert. Peace be with all
Had the fortunate opportunity to hear Charley sing live at the Blue Note. The man is simply incredible.
Represent Okie
So pure, so genuine, so authentic. Charley Crockett is a national treasure.
Great show at Massey last night. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a good long while. Charlie - you made my night. Thank you.
Life's a casino, I'm tellin' you
And everybody's playin' - boys and girls
Women, children, me, and you
The dice are loaded and everything's fixed
Even a hobo would tell you this
Welcome to hard times and feelin' low
Do you like sinnin'? No?
Well, you will before you go
We've got lots of gamblin'
Oh, and we're tellin' lies

Besides the bright blinking lights
Stretched out in front of me

Yes, hope you're feelin' welcome to hard times
I cover songs and the lyrics on here helps so much to help get the feel and words of the song!! Thank you!! 👌🏼
@@selenamae I am with you both! I know music but done practice any instruments currently but remember when I used to play. Makes me sad I don’t have an instrument right now as I sit here in my closet, drinking.
was looking for this post
thank you
Thank you. The closed captions opened with 'Life Circusy no."
Can somebody please put this man on the radio!?!?!?!
105.5 The Colorado Sound has "Midnight Run" by Charlie Crockett on heavy rotation right now
KPIG in Freedom CA plays him, and is giving away his CD this week. I subscribe to their streaming feed, it makes my commutes much better!
Holy shit. It’s like Bobby Vinton went country. What an amazing voice.
Been a mighty long time since i've heard country music so incredibly good that I literally dread the song coming to an end...
Nothing ever dies, it all comes back around 😊
Born in the valley in the lone star land
freest state that'll always make a stand
Raised on the plain so he knew every slope
Snagged him a mustang with a two foot rope
Charley, Charley Crockett king of the wild frontier.
Great!
Amen brother
@@jmit3491 please dont bring politics in here, I'm here for the good music and to support Charley on his musical crusade.
@@jmit3491 I think you need to give the news a rest, I made a fun little verse about Charley Crockett, at no point was it political. Take a nice vacation and unwind would ya, jeez.
Damn, look at Charley getting all the shine he so deserves.
I'm a Metalhead, but this song.... 😍
This. Guy. Is. Unique. Like almost Patsy Cline-esk. I actually cannot believe my ears.
Brilliant. Song of the summer.
It’s nice to hear a sound from long ago that’s some where between Texas and Bakersfield. It’s a sound that has come back. Thank you for what do Charley. If Buck Owens was still with us he would extremely proud of you. It may not mean much but I’m proud of what you are doing.
Texas meets Bakersfield is perfect.
My health is not to good looking but it has been a privilege to live. Only one last to meet Mr. Crocket
Native Texan here. I like metal a whole lot. I also like Charlie Crockett
The man can sing some truths no doubt. I don’t think there could have been a better time for this song to drop!! Keep making us proud here in Dallas Mr. Crockett and I’ll keep spreading your word.
I heard abt Charley Crocket via Rhett Miller's podcast, Wheels Off. (Dallas native Miller is frontman for The Old 97s.) wheelsoff.libsyn.com/040-welcome-to-hard-times-singer-songwriter-charley-crockett
Great song 👌😂
This is one of those rare Gives-Me-Goosebumps songs. That's the true tell that I really love a song/voice.
My dad loves this song
It's crazy how good this music is.
One of the best artists ever
I can't get enough of this song.
Yesterday I was fishing and out on the whole album.
DAMN IT BOY! WAS IT GOOD!
OUTSTANDING!
This guy's going to be famous..I hope he's very talented!
The forever purge brought me here! Such a catchy tune
“Take a look in my eyes, tell me what you see other than the bright blinking lights stretched out in front of me” I think that is such a clever way to say that you’re feeling empty or have no sole
I love listening to Charlie’s albums on repeat at work. Makes my days in the heat and sun just a little better.
Doing that right now brother
The problem is that this isn’t being played on the radio
As Willie Nelson said, this guy is the real deal.
One of the best songs of the 21st century.
He's jes' smashing! I'm from Germany and I follow every record of Charley, he's an awesome artist! I hope I'll see him in concert. Dig in Charley!
I think I just found my new favorite song! 👍🏻 It has so much meaning, and sounds so old school. Very talented man right here with that voice.
man i love charley, seen all his videos. somebody give this poor guy a ride already. been wandering around for years.
FINALLY!... Randy Travis, George Straight, Kenny Rogers, Dwight Yoakam, Vince Gill, etc and myself thank you for your music, Charley Crockett!
I absolutely love this song. Charley Crockett's voice and sound is so smooth and deep. Only recently discovered him, but already a huge fan. This was a sound my grandmother would have loved. Need more like this!
I've been listening to this on repeat for hours today.
Charley is the real deal man I tell you.
Big John, Ernest and Hank would be proud, my man. Carrying the torch.
This song is stuck in my head at work daily.
Second song I have heard by Charley Crockett, and now I may very well be his biggest fan.... This young man has an old soul, and it's marvelous!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, the one and only, the man... Charley Crockett
This is definitely his best song to date in my opinion. It feels a lot like Faron Young’s version of “Hello Walls.” Good work
Covid-19: "you must stay inside and quarantine"
Charley walking through old west: "no, I dont think I will"
He should of had a horse and a pair of big irons
Devil dog that looked like 29 Palms/Joshua Tree area to me.. yuttt
I mean he's doing some intense social distancing.
No one to infect so no problem going out.
You misspelled "government:"
@@jblaze0313 honestly yea 😂 he probably made this song about a NJP and demotion from the NJP capital of the corps!
Today I fired up the ol c10 and this track I played
A vibe
Cranked on my k10 and drove some old dirt road to go to the shooting range
@@Platano_macho vibes
Cranked the '72 Monte with this.
Joe Pickett on Paramount+ brought me here. I like his music. Reminds me of an old restaurant called "Auger Inn" at Ogden-Hinckley Airport that played old 50-60s country music.
Discovered Charlie Crockett about 2 months ago. Been listening to everything since. He has an incredible voice which is as smooth as Waylon Jennings. These videos are cinematic, beautiful evocative footage. 👋 from Australia.
Still cant get it, that a guy like Crockett is rockin it in these times.
World deserves this, stay strong my brother.. you doin it..
Durango Mexico, yo se que la música no conoce Fronteras. Charley Crokett es parte del gusto de muchos ... mas alla de sus fronteras. Music has no frontiers ... every one whos listens to Mr Charley Crokett appreciates Art ... no more than Art ! ...
MAN!!...the first time I heard 2:18...”and we’re telling lies”...the way he sings it brings back the cool county sound that I was sure to never hear from our generation...(I’m 36) thanks Charley Crockett! You are a savior! I hope you are well after all you have been through...hope to see you play in person soon...
This song is a warning from a wise man.
Ed bass master at it again
Here I am in the desert just hangin out
Man I just love that piano sound
Amazing song and Charley Crockett is Superb Singer and Songwriter! Good music is alive in Independent Music just like The Trusted News Sources are Independent Media Platform where MSM is Severely Corrupted!
Another Texas genius has been born
Almost one million views!! The world is finally discovering the stunning music of Charley 🤠🙏
You’re the man Charley! What a soul!
Dude got the country drip
Saw him today on CBS Saturday...... refreshing country sound...not todays popular radio saturated bubble gum pop country crap!!!! Bravo🤘👍👍👍
Sounds like good ol real real song.
Hi y all from France!
If I heard this song without seeing the video there’s no way I would think it released in 2020. This has such a 1950s-60s vibe to it, and that’s a great thing to infuse with modern country music. The “underground country revolution” that’s going on with artists like Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Zach Bryan, Sturgill Simpson, etc. is really incredible to see. The fact that Tyler Childers was nominated for a Grammy without even being played on mainstream radio is a testament to the fact that we, the fans and consumers, do have more power over the music industry (and all industries for that matter) than some would lead us to believe.
Life is nothing but a struggle. And this song is a perfect representation of life it’s self. Even on good days you’re still going through it. Thank you 95.9 the ranch for playing this song more than once
Hurting someones feelings is as easy as throwing a rock in the ocean. But you dont know how far that rock goes
best comment I ever read on YT - though I know you didn't write it in order to gain the 'best comment' award.
