Chris Stapleton - You Should Probably Leave (Official Audio) 

This song is soulfood...im from the hood but I heard this song at a gas station. So I drove out the city and played this song...born in the wrong environment but my black ass is home..peace and love yall...

THIS MAN'S VOICE. 👋🏾 LORD HAVE MERCY.

I am European who just finished 7 day road trip in Eastern USA. This song is one of many good memories from America. All the best to good people of America.

Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world 💕🥰

What I absolutely love about Chris is that you can’t put his music in a box. Chris writes what he feels. He isn’t genre specific. He can give you a country, blues, southern rock, sing with a full orchestra and then this song which gives me a cool, mellow 70’s vibe. He is a true generational artist!

Another Black guy here ….Wow , he gets you in your feelings ….goes deep… reminds of another soul searching song by Bonnie Raite, called “ I can’t make you love me “ ❤❤👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 . This is Song writing !!! 😊😊😊 it’s rare nowadays ……

Currently 4 months into recovery and this is exactly the song I needed in my life right now... After almost 20 years of drug abuse, I made a choice to start over... Many rivers to cross and mountains to climb, but you can't get to the top without starting at the bottom. Thank you Chris Stapleton 🙏

I’m black and got damn this is bad ass music !!! The older I get the more country music speaks to me.

This is straight Al Green influenced. The vocal phrasing, the runs at the end of the lyric line, and stretching of the last vowel of a line, a nuanced falsetto in places, and a Memphis R&B groove. That's all Al Green and I love it.

2:04 - 2:27 is probably the sexiest guitar riff I've ever heard

Best part of this song is that he doesn't want her to really leave...when he's watching her sleep he's so scared she'll actually leave

This sound is so calming. Whoever read this comment I wish you peace of mind, health and relaxation

I heard the first three notes of this song and i immediately liked it. His voice is so distinct. I love it.

Best song on the record. Bonus points that it’s been on the shelf for years and he can just pull out bangers like this off the reserve shelf.

I’m a happily married man but damn this song brings back memories of a toxic relationship that always had my stomach in knots. When you wanted to be strong and have her leave but all you wanted to hear was that she would stay. Ugh it was never fun. With my wife now, I now know what real love is and the power an amazing partner can make you feel you have. Good riddance to that past relationship but I’m grateful to where it brought me, I married the woman of my dreams and have an amazing family. I hope everyone can be as fortunate as I am today. ✌🏽 & ❤️ in 2021 and beyond.

I really love how this song is mixed like an old school Al Green track instead of so much other modern country. It's got space and room to breath instead of being crammed full of vocal overdubs and a million guitars. It just sounds like a guy with a band telling a story.

I've never liked country. He single-handedly changed my mind. A once in a generation talent. True genius

Chris has something that a lot of music artists today don’t have. Genuine soul. You don’t just listen to his music, you feel it. Incredible music.

Look, I’ve been following this guy since before he ever hit the radio, and I can tell you, he doesn’t write a bad song. One of the best songwriters of the modern era, by far. His music will live on for lifetimes. Let’s just hope he keeps at it.

The way he says “I wanna do our thing 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑒”❤️

That guitar riff is so nuts, gets me every time. Beautiful

This song is straight-up incredible. The story of two lovers who know they shouldn't be together but want that more than anything, is so eloquently told in Chris' lyrics. The smokey, bluesy instrumental opening, perfect drumming and vocal arrangments have turned this song into an instant classic. Starting Over is one of those albums where I was constantly finding new favorites upon each listen but now that I've gone through the entire album, multiple times I think I can confidently say this is my top jam off the new album!

[Verse 1] I know it ain't all that late But you should probably leave I recognize that look in your eyes Yeah, you should probably leave [Chorus] 'Cause I know you and you know me And we both know where this is gonna lead You want me to say that I want you to stay So you should probably leave Yeah, you should probably leave [Verse 2] There's still time for you to finish your wine Then you should probably leave And it's hard to resist, alright, just one kiss Then you should probably leave [Chorus] 'Cause I know you and you know me And we both know where this is gonna lead You want me to say that I want you to stay So you should probably leave Yeah, you should probably leave [Bridge] Like a devil on my shoulder you keep whisperin' in my ear And it's gettin' kinda hard for me to do the right thing here I wanna do the right thing, baby [Verse 3] Sun on your skin, 6AM And I been watchin' you sleep And honey, I'm so afraid you're gonna wake up and say That you should probably leave [Chorus] 'Cause I know you and you know me And we both know where this is gonna lead I want you to stay but you'll probably say That you should probably leave Yeah, you should probably leave Oh, you should probably leave

You can get drunk off of his voice, it’s like smooth whiskey ♥️♥️

Holy shit this finally made it onto an album. Ive waited so long for this song

Chris, you don’t know how happy this makes me.... to finally have a studio version!!! I have been living and loving this song for so long! This album is what 2020 needed... thank you!

Listening again- can’t help myself- this song makes me feel young again- I’m a old woman now but memories are still there and bring tears 🥲to my eyes- Chris Thanks for the Great songs and music- Thank God for your Great voice - we are Blessed 😇 to hear you sing 🇺🇸👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻

To be much bigger cognitively than the immediate fleeting feeling and recognize with clear headed thoughtfulness and consideration that taking things further will not end well takes a tremendous amount courage on one’s own part to demand an intervention. It is so much easier to give in to the physical than to consider the psychological consequences of pursuance. The lyrics are so deep.

Single af but still love this song.

My wife of 5 years asked me to leave our home 2 days ago , 4 kids and a lot of memories to deal with losing but it’s for the best she wasn’t wrong for making her choice. Time to grow from this and become a better person. God this song hurts to listen to.

I can't believe anything so smooth and sophisticated is not from the 1940's to early 1950's..They just don't make that music anymore - but Chris Stapleton did..The return of serious music for thinking adults..Just WOW.

Just saw him in concert last night from the front row. I've never cried that much at a concert. Truly EPIC!!!!!

Going through some troubles in my relationship and this song comes on like it was written for me. Chris don't miss.

It’s amazing how years of unprocessed grief can be unpacked and understood in 3 1/2 minutes of beautifully written lyrics and instrumentals that follow suit. Thank you for writing this masterpiece.

I love "you should probably leave". I heard it in the car and came home and listened to it all night long. I love the beat and I love the words. Great song!!!

Something about his voice that connects to one's soul🔥❤️

Heard "Tennessee Whiskey" years ago, now Chris is my favorite country singer. Chris is THE man.

He’s scared of abandonment so he abandons them first. Right move Chris 👍🏽

@Chris Stapleton, you're genuinely the reason I am able to be who I am, I hear your music in my soul and its timeless ❤ love my brother from another mother and hope you are as timeless as your songs, another 50 years of amazing songs to come

Something about his voice that connects to one's soul️. This man's voice is just so awesome.

I feel this song is about new couples trying to resist quick temptations and "old" relationships trying to find a way to work things out without temptations - either way, love it

I've only listened to this song about 100 times and I love it every time. Chris' voice is freaking magical 😍

Unfair to put this man music into any category!!! He in his own musical hemisphere!❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Just a south african girl inlove with your music ! Love your voice the way you write, your songs and how you capture the words into feelings ! Love it!!

This dude goes from an exciting song like parachute to a emotional song like this. This dude is a legend in my books

This is country. It's such a simple tune. Not full of noise and filler. Just a simple flow and great voice.

Omg chris i love your songs so much. Through covid i suffered in hospise 125 hours a week only paid for 50...now i take care of my mom 82 with dementia...your music gives me hope i will be ok someday

The man’s voice is majestically beautiful to me.

This makes me really miss slow dancing. And having someone to dance with. I guess that means the song works perfectly. 😁

Another black man here 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Chris is a legend vocalist and songwriter, I’m in Australia and his music crosses over and I know he is considered country, but I just hear so much more than one genre. Can’t wait till you tour here next year!! Unless I get to the states before!

Hey this is like one of my all time favorite artists,whether it be blues, rock or just some dam great country music,yeah he's at the very top,do your Thang my nigga!!!!!!

This man's voice is just so awesome

So glad he put that guitar riff in there. I know you and you know me baby.

I love Chris Stapleton! His voice is rich and rock-bluesy in this song He got my attention though with "Tennessee Whiskey!"

That guitar riff is so nuts, gets me every time. Beautiful. That guitar riff is so nuts, gets me every time. Beautiful.

Chris is a good singer probably one of the best he can keep going I love this song at first I wasn’t a big fan of his music and now I’m obsessed it’s Cody Johnson then Chris then all the rest he is wonderful singer Keep Going Chris try with all you heart!!!

I've been stuck living in California for a few years now. I'm from the Midwest and I've been missing home more than anything for this past year and a half. Just craving the small town vibes between neighbors and community. It's so different back home than it is here but I heard this a few days ago and it made me feel so at home!

MR. STAPLETON I LOVE YOUR MUSIC AND STYLE AND THE PASSION YOU SING WITH. I HEARD "I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU" BY STEVIE WONDER. AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR RENDITION AND COVER OF IT, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. KEEP UP THE GREAT MUSIC!!

I’m obsessed I can’t stop this song is so good

Best live performance I have ever seen. If You have not seen this man in concert I suggest you buy some tickets and go see him

I'm late to the game, but I made it! This song is one of the few where upon hearing for the first time, I was hooked. So good 👍👍👍!!

This means more to me than anything. I lost my life long ago yet the one I lost don't see me as if I'm invisible and world shows me same nothing I've done matters .

Chris Stapleton is such a talented artist my husband calls a hero from Kentucky and we love ❤him especially after he sang the anthem at the Super Bowl 😊

Chris stapleton has the best sounding voice I've ever heard. His songs can make you cry, appreciate life, and fall in love over and over again.

Waited 6 years for this. It was worth it

I absolutely love Chris Stapleton’s voice. It’s got that smooth bluesy kind of vibe which reminds me of a younger Willie Nelson. I love every song I’ve heard! It’s got me wanting to go out and buy a guitar and start lessons! I’m 62 and ready to “take my chances and roll the dice!”

Chris Stapleton is a legend in the making. I love how he looks at his wife on stage. I hope this will be Nashville’s next hot couple. They deserve it! Hard workers / good people.

Tennessee Whiskey made me a fan! I love you Chris Stapleton!

2024 are we here?

This man is a true gift to humanity!

FINALLY Am I the only one getting John Mayer vibes from this version though?

This song quickly became my favorite. Its simplicity cuts to the core, undeniably, and pulls at heart strings which were tucked away decades prior.

I can't stop listening to this song. Freaking honest and true situational song with blues and soul

Goosebumps from the top of my head to the tips of my toes each and every time I hear this. 💖💖💖

Protect Chris at all costs!

I've been listening to the acoustic unreleased version for several years and it's one of my top 5 CS songs. His studio version is like falling in love all over again!!!

Saw Chris this spring in Lexington, KY. He is FANTASTIC and loves his fans.

I heard you on Polish Radio ,, ram fm ,, it was 2 months ago I knew nothing about you, but your voice and music said everything about you, you are a great talent, both musical and personal, and seeing today nominations and Grammy winnings I congratulate you with all my heart.

Something has got to be in the water, or coming up out of the ground in eastern Kentucky, that creates musical genius. I'm a former Pike County gal with loads of friends in Paintsville. Listening to you, Mr. Stapleton, gives me hope for Appalachia. We are such good stuff and you are a prime example of all that is good, true, and possible about us as a people.

Literally the best thing to happen in modern country I love Chris perfect everytime

Chris Stapleton is the best

This song is fantastic! I like how at night he says you should probably leave then he says it's 6 in the morning and I'm watching you sleep. Glad she didn't leave. I think she didn't leave. Left and came back early morning and watched her sleep? Maybe. 😁😴

Devil on my shoulder whispering in my ear ............I remember

if i had to describe his music in two words i would say: smooth, soulful

This man got Hella soul! Dang!!! #talent he can't help himself GET IT!!!! ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏

Chris Stapleton is awesome. Period....

I have never heard such a voice...wonderful, brings back old memories.

Another damn good song you can feel in your soul.

Very good and valid point. Al Green is one of my favorite old school souls. CS has an old school soul too😎

I first heard these talented souls sing this song at some sort of TN outdoor concert years ago right here on RU-vid. LOVEd it!! What’s so crazy is I fell in love with BOTH of them before they became country music royalty. Wow!!! What a story. Congratulations ❣️🙏🏻

Chris never fails to deliver.

I FORGOT TO FORGIVE WITH THOSE WHOM I LIVE AND IT'S MAKING ME GRIEVE I DON'T WANT TO LIVE I GOT NOTHING TO GIVE SO I SHOULD PROBABLY LEAVE ------------LORD------------- I SHOULD PROBABLY LEAVE

Chris Stapleton is one of the best artist out there im a huge rock metal fan but absolutely love this dudes music it makes me feel so much thanks for all the good jams Chris

It's a Christmas miracle! I have been begging for an album release of this song for years. Thank you Chris and Morgane!

So glad they made a studio version of this song. Loved watching that other vid of him and his wife singing it live from some years back.

I'm 50 yrs old, and honestly, in my opion, this is one of the baddest songs that I've heard ever, I just love you Chris !!!!!

I really love the melody And it reminds me who i love very much but i should probably stand up financially before proceeding with a love life before i consider any offers. Thanks to the village who raised me i can finally take off me the right way! Much much love and gratitude for all uve taught me along the years

This song is what I'm thinking every time im around him at the same time I want him to stay but my head tells me I should probably leave save my self some heartache cuz in the end I can never have him.

Whether you like country or not, this Man's talent in writing and his voice can make anyone a fan so fast.
