I write country songs I want to become a country music star & move to nashville TN I post my songs on tick tock but I want to move to nashville & get a record deal , work with nashville songwriters & get my songs played on country radio & go on tour with JASON ALDEAN 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 🤠🤠🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🪕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 I also wear the cowboy hat & cowboy boots & western belt with a western belt buckle , That is my country artist look & country artist stage look
Here's a my attempt at writing Too out law for my in-laws Too Outlaw for my In-Laws Well you should’ve seen my mother inlaw’s face When I showed up to brunch in ‘em old worn out jeans Said I was out of place, whatever that means Hey what can I say, I’ve never been one for A big city office job or fancy high paying career Don’t want no part in the great race Just wanna cold cold beer And maybe a couple more ‘Cause I’m too outlaw for my inlaws I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws Well me and my old lady go hand in hand When we go out a sittin’ in my new deer stand But her parents never thought she’d be the kind To settle down with redneck in a smalltown Raise a bunch a kids and spend all her free time in duck blind Naw they wanted her to marry an up and coming business man Someone with a great big plan, not a plowboy or a farm hand I guess that’s why I’m too outlaw for my inlaws I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws Well her folks wanted to move down to Florida So I hitched up my big wide trailer and chevy pickup truck Put their bed in a flatbed and drove on down If it weren’t for me they would’ve had to spend Big money on a moving company So now they’re glad I’m too outlaw for my inlaws I’m just another Friday night rodeo ranch hand Singer of a big ol’ rock and roll long haired hillbilly band Hanging out with the bikers and hippies and southpaws That’s why this old cowboy is too outlaw for his inlaws
This is WAY MORE than I expected! Grady, what are you going to do when someone "Country Famous," re-records this? It's actually really catchy and very likable - and those folks really did you a favor!
@@GradySmith Or maybe pitching the song to several Nashville stars about recording their own version? I could hear it leaning more into the beach vibe and being a Kenny Chesney hit!
Grady this is the coolest video you’ve ever done! I LOVED this so much. Sitting here trying to think which artist is the best fit for “Too Outlaw For My In-laws” This is brilliant man!
I'm calling it, this is your best video ever! It was amazing to watch Ernest in his right element. Maybe you can write another song with other artists/songwriters too?
Long time listener first time caller here. WOW! Grady this is extremely impressive and deserves a ton of recognition. This is an immense amount of work and a really cool video, bravo!!
I really enjoyed the peek behind the curtain of Nashville - super talented people and interesting to get a glimpse of their work! Great video, Grady! And the song is a jam! 🧡
Wow the way Ernest just came up with stuff on the fly like that! Mind blowing just wow! He has a true natural talent I can see how he has the #1’s that he has!! Amazing video Grady,we need more songs haha and you didn’t sound half bad either,keep it up bro!
I really like the song. It reminds me of Refried Dreams by Tim McGraw. Could definitely be a radio hit, and what I love most about it is it is lyrically different than anything else I have heard.
Amazing video, I feel like this could be a semi-annual series where you explore various facets of the industry more in-depth while creating an EP or a short album of your own songs/collabs. The possibilities are endless, and this idea can scale, baby!
@@TC-fy3vo exactly, the music industry in general let alone just the country genre is basically a "squeeze tes fesses and hope for the best" kind of industry.
It's been so fun to watch your channel (and you!) grow and evolve over the years I've been a subscriber. I love that this RU-vid thing has taken you all the way to recording an actual single with frickin' Ernest. It's been cool to watch, dude.
Dude this is so sick. Already added the song to my playlist, when i heard the first 10 seconds of it. Now hear me out, no one expects you to become a country star, BUT you HAVE TO turn your other song ideas with it's cheaper to keep 'er into songs as well now and just release a little EP. Series of Episodes is such a vibe, it'd be a shame not to go for the other ideas now as well, especially because the titles are already humorous.
I first found Grady's video about "snap tracks" and I've been hooked since. I've also been a fan of ERN since I caught his first podcast. THIS IS MY FAVORITE thing I've seen in a LONG TIME!!!! BRAVO :D
I am from germany and I sadly admit that Country Music isn‘t as famous as in the states. But I love your videos and I love to see Ernest how he is able to create melodies just like that. I appreciate his talent so much! Greets from Germany :)
This was such a fun watch! Love all the BTS info on the process of becoming a country star, and those photos Katie got were amazing (I especially love the through-the-elbow mirror shot 😍)!
Watching Ernest just instantly riff out an entire song on "a guy binging shows because he broke up with his girlfriend" is incredible. That is some insane talent.
This is my favorite video you have done, it is fantastic! I really enjoyed seeing all these people at work, and seeing behind the curtain. Thank you, thank you!
this is my favorite video on the channel, such a creative ideia, I learned so much about the process of becoming a country artist and it's also so much fun to watch a critic go through all of that. (fr Grady, congratulations, even the song is pretty enjoyable and fun to listen to)
This is amazing man, love it, great tune, video and overall mini story! Also build out that "Cheaper to Keep her song" that will be your follow-up single ;) Cheers!
I loved all of your song ideas, you could have done either one and it would have been great! I also loved the photos! (Well, I loved everything about this really) And.. you are far more handsome than any country artist I can think of. You'd have more panties thrown at you than Morgan. 😄👌
Amazing work, Grady! I'm so happy for you! I love your channel, and you have given me so many new artists that I love today :-) This was sooo great! :D
