Tyler Hood | "Five Miles Over the Limit" | Western AF 

Thanks to everyone involved in making this possible. I’m so grateful to be able to do this with Mike and Brian. Much love to all y’all

Come back here monthly. This is one of my favorite songs of all time

I’m impressed! This is a good song with equally good singing! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Thanks for completing DESTROYING me tonight. This hits close. Very close. Your lyrics, beautiful. Never stop doing what you do!

solid song, gonna look up more of his shit. Thanks WesternAF for giving guys like this a little more opportunity to be seen. Found so many good artists because of you guys.

I had to pause the video at 1:39 because I broke down crying. This is my first time hearing you. I’ve heard sad songs before, but idk this is different. It’s beautiful. It’s tragic. It felt like a punch in my gut. You have a gift for storytelling and your sound reaches to the deepest of deeps. Keep up the good work

This is the gold thatll save country..

This song stopped me dead in my tracks. I'm crying now and it's not even my own story! What captivating songwriting and simple but not dumbed-down lyrics. I feel like my friend just told me his dark secret and kinda made it rhyme. Thanks Tyler Hood!

Like the songwriting here a lot, good one! Chords and lyrics below as always folks Standard tuning, Capo on 2 Intro G B7 C D x2 Verses 1&3 G B7 C D x8 Chorus Am C G D / Am C G B7 C D / B7 C G D / B7 C G D Interlude 1 G B7 C D x2 Verse 2 G B7 C D x4 Chorus Am C G D / Am C G B7 C D / B7 C G D / B7 C G Interlude 2 G B7 C D x4 [Intro] [Verse 1] It's early morning, the sun was shining through the clouds and the trees And you were smiling and kinda laughing in the car next to me I took a turn too fast and I let that sucker roll Round and round like we were dancing into a power line pole [Chorus] And it happened so fast, I couldn't see you through all of the glass But I held on to your hand as we flew through the air And maybe if you were the same, then I could live out the rest of my life without shame But you ain't wherever you go and I hope you are better but I'll never know [Interlude] [Verse 2] And your daddy said he can't believe that I could take something so perfect and make it all bleed And I know that he's in the right but that don't help me now while I'm drunk here tonight [Chorus] And I remember that you told me that you'd be a nurse when you'd passed in the spring And I wish that you could help me tonight in this bar And I know just like everyone that it's hard to get back on the road once you're gone And five miles over the limit is all that it takes [Interlude] [Verse 3] And if life is a dream then I'm afraid of waking up But it's colder and deeper than the bottom of my cup And how I wish that we could be sixteen again In my old man's car on the way to go swim

I listen to this song 5 times a day

Third 💘

This song is so fucking beautiful

Beautiful. And tragic. Country music summed up right there.

Bravo Mr. Hood & WesternAF-- Great reminder that seat belts, sober drivers, and slowing down saves lives right before July 4th weekend. "And your daddy said he can't believe that I could take something so perfect and make it all bleed And I know that he's in the right but that don't help me now while I'm drunk here tonight"

We need this one on Spotify so badly

"Discovered" willi Carlisle yesterday, which led me to Western AF. That lead me to an amazing group of musicians and songs. One of the best RU-vid rabbit holes I have gone down in years. Love this song. Thanks

This guy and roach farmer would jam.

Mr. Hood. I've heard some sad country songs but that one tore my heart in two. You are a great story teller and song writer! Thanks!

I'm not a huge country fan, mostly because of what they play on the radio, but this is so good. Like the difference between contemporary Christian music and old time hymns, no comparison.

Straight to the playlist, strum on brother!

Love the song and music -Come play here in OHIO

Just heard him on NPR. Had to come here and see if he was on Western AF and of course he was. 😁

Damn.. Every young mans worst fear.. I’m sure too many of us lost some friends in those young and wild years to very similar situations.. this one gave me those punched in gut feels, great stuff Tyler 👍🏻👍🏻

This guy going places

Such a sad song with such an upbeat melody. I absolutely love it.

Wow this is a deep song

Wow. Fantastic lyrics, what a story and feeling they tell. Love this

Awesome job Tyler!

Amazing song. Thank you.

Inspiring music! Many thanks!🙏

This is just so, so good.

You just made me cry.

The authenticy and realness of your content is incredible. This channel continues to find artists that bring quality to viewers who otherwise probably wouldn't come across these songwriters. Keep it up.

What a voice! So powerful! Great picking as well!

Love the song, your all very talented. Cheers

I come here to feel and remind myself of the gift of life i have and take for granted.

Ty writes songs that convey so many feels thanks as always for capturing such great artist.

Fuckin a right! great job Tyler! And thank you western af. Looking forward to more from this guy!

"dancing into a power line pole" paints such a vivid picture, incredible songwriting

This song is amazing. I hope you go far

Love it!! Keep em coming!!

What a marvelously written tune. You don’t get these songs very often anymore. At least not on the radio which I tend to avoid. Song writing ain’t for most people I’ll say that right now so please don’t ever feel like just have average talent. As far as I’m concerned your a modern legend already for this beautifully written song. Thanks for sharing this to the world. There’s a lot of hurt people out there that can find peace within this , so thank you again.

Get on iTunes bro need this on my playlist

Damn

WesternAF produces the best videos! Love Tyler & his writing!

HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!

what a fucking sad song. I love it.

Haunting. Echos of ghosts who will never be seen. Damn good song bro.

The new Neil Young?? What a story man....what a story

I liked it before listening to it ik it was gonna be good just by the name roll tide roll I'd like to record something with you if you would be up for that

“Any 15 year old punk can play rock and roll. Country western takes real talent”- Unknown Hinson

Goddam, Western AF is breaking my fucking heart today

Hell of a good songwriter - next in a very exclusive line of country songwriters - Tyler is in rare air here

Spent the last week trying to play and sing this for myself. I can't make it through without breaking down.

Whoa

Well that sounds like the spirit of John Denver.

Amazing how much is said with such simple words

First ❤️

Wow

This guy looks like Jimmy Fallon doing a parody of new wave Americana music.

Love it. Legit ❤️

Mighty fine job Mr. Hood, mighty fine. Thank you...

Damn, that took a turn. Great art. Pulled me in and held me. Well done indeed.

Jesus,that caught me off guard. I’ve got a lump in my throat now. Wow.

Why isn’t this on Apple Music

Only 50k views? I’m half of those 👍

Catchy! I liked it! Heart felt and gutsy! Tyler Hood...winner!

Listening from England (just so you see where you’re reaching) Absolutely poetic lyrics. Keep on brother ❤️

WOW, that's all I can say.

A nice 70's sounding folk country

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story

I'm digging this. Thanks to Whiskey Riff for sharing it!

Such moving lyrics with such an organic capturing voice. Amazing combination 😦 almost fatal! This song touches something inside I didn't realize I could emphasize with! ❤️

Excellent!

Apple Music this please.

Awesome 🤘 Getting some Ian Noe vibes man. Kickass.

Amazing story telling with an amazing song.

Hearts broken in two. I need more. 0:48

This sure felt like a true story.

That’s jimmy fallon in a wig

You may have something, pal

I often enjoy listening to “diamonds in the rough” like Tyler. I often prefer a raw but real presentation rather than a polished but empty one.

Fuck yea. Beautiful, Tyler.

That shit was beautiful

I have been on a Tyler hood rabbit hole and I ain't mad about it.

Tyler would you(or anyone) mind posting the chords? I’m a scrub picker but I’d like to strum this one this weekend! Happy 4th everyone, be safe y’all 🇺🇸❤️

Wow! This is incredible! Just, such beautiful writing!

Great job! what an amazing performance! Cant wait to hear more from you

I really enjoyed this one .Thank you for sharing!

I'm 86 and I remember hearing Bob Dylan for the first time and thinking that sound would never catch on. Boy was I wrong...
