SteelDrivers, The - Long Way Down Lyrics






I thought that you were sent from heaven
You had me floating on a cloud
But tonight my sky is falling
And it's a long way down
It's a long way down

Now you can't lie, cause girl I caught you
You can't deny, you been messing 'round
Where you're going there ain't no ice water
And it's a long way down
It's a long way down

So far down that it ain't got a bottom
Thought you had wings but I guess you ain't got 'em
Fallen angel don't look now
Ooh... it's a long way down

Don't look to me to be your savior
Girl we both know where your soul is bound
It's headed south just like the love you gave me
And it's a long way down
It's a long way down

So far down that it ain't got a bottom
Thought you had wings but I guess you ain't got 'em
Fallen angel don't look now
Ooh... it's a long way down

So far down that it ain't got a bottom
Thought you had wings but I guess you ain't got 'em
Fallen angel don't look now
So far down that it ain't got a bottom
Thought you had wings but I guess you ain't got 'em
Fallen angel don't look now
So far down that it ain't got a bottom
Thought you had wings but I guess you ain't got 'em
Fallen angel don't look now
Ooh... it's a long way down

  4. J.... S....

    Doesn't matter still good stuff

  5. R.... B....

    I'll never see these guys, unless I travel about a thousand miles. They're good but.....

  6. S.... K....

    oh my, these guys and the Wood Brothers in one weekend of youtube surfing, fuck me

  7. T.... ....

    never heard of them before..but I like 'em.

    T.... ....

    TheMrBlackCrow this was Chris Stapletons namesake for a good while before he decided to go into the country genre. I believe he’s still featured with the steeldrivers a few times here recently.

    T.... ....

    @Tanner Adams sorry, but I never heard of him either..what kind of country does he do?...I don't listen to much anymore 'ceptin gospel and such mostly...my tastes on country is the old stuff...ernest tubb, Hank sr., Roy Acuff, Porter Wagner, Lou Childre and such. this newer stuff ain't country in book, back in the '60's we called it rock & roll.

  8. J.... C....

    Love you guys and gals but it’s hard to sing without Chris .

  9. J.... M....

    I had never heard them .. first thought was sounds like Stapleton ✌ good stuff

    J.... M....

    Stapleton all day can't touch

  10. J.... ....

    Just learned about this group today. I’m a follower now. Fabulous band

  11. r.... ....

    This is amazing please come to the UK

  12. g.... r....

    he was a great singer before he joined steeldrivers. He had big shoes to fill and seems to have done just fine.

  13. K.... S....

    Guess if you gotta play a Taylor you might as well do so in the creek...lol

  17. T.... ....

    I love this. I listen to it over and over

  18. W.... T....

    🇧🇷

  19. S.... B....

    Chris Stapleton made a bad decision to leave this band. "To focus on songwriting and spend time with his family" how are you spending time with your family still doing more work by being solo? Also, why didnt you just focus more on songwriting while in this band? Why he left boggles my mind.

  20. C.... M....

    Found y'all on Pandora, incredible voice. I even can say I like this BETTER than Stapleton, much more variety going on.

  21. J.... M....

    Someone’s Momma just sent me here from Twitter! Great music, great sound, great video! 👍💕🥰❤️🇺🇸

  22. m.... v....

    I love this band, one guy in the app for leaners the new linguage show me, I love her voice and all group is very good! Gary voice have emotion I like that.

  23. R.... m....

    This is just the best!Love this band.Love the music!

  24. R.... E....

    I don't understand why a lead singer would want to leave this band

  25. B.... K....

    Tammy...John Conner and I are waiting impatiently for you to come to KC.You have come a long way from Nimitz. I am so blessed to say I played in the inaugural Irving Youth Symphony Orchestra with you (shout out to Jerry Roe). Yes people, Tammy was an accomplished classical violinist in her early days

    Bryan Keller wished I could have been there! So close to the upstate. Gary is THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD POSSIBLY replace Chris and nail it ! Shut the door.

  29. D.... C....

    Great song. I’d like to see the outtakes of you guys getting in and out of that creek. :)

  30. W.... H....

  53. r.... l....

  54. S.... F....

    This group and chris has been a huge comfort to me over the last year. My wife left me, and the sound of this group gives me the heart felt feeling of the past. God had must have blest chips with that voice. It reaches the heart every time I hear him. 👍👍👍

  55. D.... W....

    Seeing these guy tonight at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC can't wait

  56. E.... K....

    Damn if everything this group puts out isn't top notch. Can't get enough!

  57. D.... M....

    Yeah baby kick ass man I miss Georgia stuck out west in Colorado

  58. 1.... 7....

    Hey, let's all stand in the water and play...

  59. d.... n....

    chris made some good music with this band and now they sound good with new singer, and chris advances into a new band of his own. I actually thought it was chris !

  60. j.... f....

    you all kick ass,you made Chris Stapleton, and you know my cuz... his name is Wish and Shannon, his wife is rock solid i think you might know her lol, but would love to hang out and write songs

  61. A.... S....

    I like it.

  62. B.... D....

    2:15 wow

  63. A.... D....

    People are always comparing one artist or singer to another. Music is music, appreciate it for what it is. This is gold

  64. t.... C....

    A Great band is always going to be a Great Band,people come and go.A Great Band has a Soul that it imparts to a new member.

  65. T.... ....

    Bluegrass meets Country meets Soul meets Blues...nicely done!

  66. S.... B....

    Love that fiddle sound

  67. P.... L....

    Beyond Grammy worthy....

  68. S.... B....

    Great Song ♥️

  69. J.... H....

    I'm a big fan of Chris but honestly i feel like the new singer is an even better fit for this style of music. His voice flows perfectly with the music. Chris could sometimes be too overpowering for the instruments. This is perfect.

    J.... H....

    They now have a new singer for the 2018 tour. Check the official website.

  70. D.... F....

    Steeldrivers........fine music

  71. T.... T....

    Love this song.

    Gr8 picking...

  82. B.... H....

    Greetings baby !!! As our 10th year anniversary rolls around I think of you all the time !! Our children are good and I love you baby !!! BRAD LEE HOUGHTON

  83. B.... 1....

    Wow good stuff we need more of this than the souless shit we are being fed

  84. P.... F....

    Can I be grumpy today? I cringe seeing these seemingly great instruments carried out in a stream. One misstep and one could be ruined. What's the point anyway?

  85. T.... W....

    Sara Evans covers this song. Not nearly as good as this original.

  86. D.... G....

    Gary is from Muscle Shoals, Al. A wonderful accomplished artist, I'm glad the Steeldrivers chose him when Chris went solo.

  87. R.... m....

    Totally love this song!!So so good!!Please come to NZ!!!

  88. J.... h....

    most epic way to open a song

  89. K.... ....

    Is that the guy from pentatonix

  90. f.... ....

    Outstanding.

  91. h.... ....

    so this is streaming music huh? superb musicians complimented by gary nichols voice which is very dynamic and to be honest i prefer to chris stapletons by a mile. i have been a musician for over 40 years and i find it very rare to find and band i really like but i will be buying all their albums. wish they would re-record "if it had'nt been for love" with gary singing. i also have a soft spot for tammy on fiddle. i consider this band to be my find of the year. very very cool in an un-cool way.....

  92. J.... M....

    This is how music is suppose to sound. Great job Gary Nichols, along with every member of The SteelDrivers.

  93. B.... S....

    That looks like d'lo falls. Any idea where it was filmed?

  94. d.... ....

    I saw these folks for the first time on Larry's Country Diner last night, I really like this. It would be GREAT if they would replace Florida Georgia Line on Country Radio.

  95. A.... M....

    garry nichols is my cousin

  96. W.... ....

    love it !

  97. l.... s....

    New guy sounds like Chris's little brother.

  98. M.... H....

    I just discovered this group today and my soul connects.

  99. L.... P....

    horrible singing. not bluegrass.

    L.... P....

    LOL you're obviously a troll. Not a very good one either. They leave your comments up to help you make yourself look like a fool.

  100. N.... R....

    head steeldrivers on pandora now its all i listen to!
