The Local Honeys | "Dumbass Nebraska" | Western AF 

The local Honeys clearly know sorrow well, but few can transform it into beauty like these two do.

This is going to echo and reverberate in my head all day. Hauntingly beautiful ballad!

But if wishes were horses, he’d already died…. That right there? It’s called poetry…

Sitting outside of my job in the parking lot with goosebumps from head to toe

Love these guys ,so talented. Amazing voices and sound.i got to see them with Matt heckler and lost dog.

"Horses flee danger, women stand ground Steadfast and sure-footed they don't often back down" These ladies just keep blowing me away with their harmonies and lyrics and instrumentation

A lot of good memories in Nebraska 😔 beautifully done, ladies.

Listened over two dozen times now lol. Best version by far, hopefully gets up on Spotify. I usually listen to rap but damn… this is something

Darned if these ladies don't bring me to tears every time.

Beautiful song! I love this band so much they have the most authentic sound ❤

I love it when this channel posts artistic gems like this that mainstream dismisses as backwoods voices. They have strong roots and beautiful branches

Saw them when they opened for Benny Tod in Pittsburgh and they absolutely floored everyone in the venue.

Saw them play this in Pittsburgh and I was moved to tears then and I'm moved to tears now🙌🏼❤️ these ladies are the real deal

I just keep thinking of Claire in Lonesome Dove.

Oh my gawd at this...ummm im.not sure how to express how eargasmic this is.

I just love them, wonderful vocals and an easy yet catchy arrangement. Great sound as well! Chords and lyrics below as always folks!

Local Honey's are too good! That harmonizing gets me every time!

I love everything the local honeys sing. Just something about women singing tear jerking songs gets me everytime.

Love this song! And the record is heart wrenching and hopeful at the same time. Love it! Local Honeys are amazing!

Preciosa canción

Those voices!

Glad i clicked on this

So beautiful

Somebody read lonesome dove!

Are they singing about Clara from lonesome dove ??

Yay I love this song (and this song's name)

Reminds me of a rodeo guy from Nebraska

HURTS SO GOOD

Thanks for exposing me to good music!

Damn 🔥

He s so senseless Always swinging for the fences Leaving himself alone and defenceless But she always finds out Finds him And takes him home Too Tend to his needs Until to the next Episode When he does it all over again Just to feel her love It's a game he's gotta play Cause he thinks he Doesn't deserve To be loved She still plays his game She knows why She knows his pain She does it for him She does it for love It's written in the skies Above Their little town It's still beautiful And real No matter the cost The time that they lose Is not really lost It's all their love Future and past

Such a good song, and amazing talent! Too bad about the acoustics of the room.

Lindsey... I'll make you a cookie cake.

Expletive because i couldn't expletive and with these ideas breed expletives and when these expletive do this just........ expletive.

Saw them in Detroit a few weeks ago. It was phenomenal except for the shitty crowd talking the whole time!
