Chris Knight - Down The River

[borncountry1992]

uh i cant find the "love" button

[DAVURGE]

damn right- met some wilsons in my time..they probably wished we'd killed em..

[wcschluter]

a melhor musica que eu já escutei..pavoro total

[sasquatchprime]

Such authenticity in this song. My favorite by Mr, Knight. It just plays out like a memory or a great movie. It's a rare thing to have a song raise chill-bumps but this one does it for me.

[rednecklXl]

Good Song



[biginthewest]

Hell ya love this song anybody screws with my family ill fuck em up

[baysideval]

The first few times I heard this song, it kinda sickened me. But the more I listened to it, I understood and kinda related to it in some sort of weird way. It's a good song really, if you can overlook the "darkness" behind the lyrics.

[davezz5]

@baysideval if you overlook the "darkness" in the lyrics, there's not much left to look at, kinda, in a weird way.

[myaqman09]

Wtf did i hearing..

[VioletsBloom]

@jjrrhh11 I'd marry him for "this" voice!

Go listen to Dolly Parton.

[jjrrhh11]

@VioletsBloom he wouldnt marry ur old ass lol , i actually like this song it grew on me ,, this song and the,,,,,,,, if i were you ,, song are both great !!

[MrJohnbertram]

Great song, I grew up in an area in southern Indiana, with the White River and the Wabash River close by and believe me this song could have described the way life was there in the 50's and 60's. The water runs deeper and swifter under the train tressels and the Black Creek or Indiana/Illinois bridge.

[gtrotter07]

@MrJohnbertram

Well, it's definitely still that way around here in southern Indiana. You wouldn't happen to be a math teacher, would you?

[ivyherstory]

I like to sit and listen to Chris Knight sing about things and experiences that are aptly well put together and set to music. What a brilliant man.

[Daboppr]

Great song.. cool ending conclusion.. a surprise first time I listened to it, had to catch that last verse again, kinda changed my feeling about the song, from a song about regret and loss, to one of revenge and deep rooted issues. I like it, but then again love almost everything he does.

[4KawasakiRider4]

this song gives me chill bumps. it feels like hes tellin this to us around a campfire or something, i have never heard a song like this where ive felt so close to it.. such an inspiring song for us country boys who treat there buddies like brothers.

[bigoakoutdoors]

Thats how all country boys are wether its your brother best friend or a family you screw with one of us were gone kick ur ass or well kill ya if we have to

[MrHank46]

You aint from around here ///are ya

[cvick4200]

Shit in that pool hall gets real!

[SEAMOKTactical]

Some Country boy poetic justice right here!

[nicksbravati21]

[DanceTheSpears]

New Lyrics: " The Federal Government found out that we really don't belong here, just kinda been squattin for years and years. They came and took us all, even shot some of us down, said somethin bout "Natural Resources" and chopped all the trees down"... HAW HAW HAW HAW!!!!!

[Slant81]

Awesome tune man. I love the mandolin playin. I'll have to grab this album. That's how we do it in the South folks, we're good people, just dont mess with us or ours.

[jtdude2011]

464 likes... 10 dislikes... amazing song. Love it. Don't get any better than that

[paganknight]

I love this song and have nothing against Chris Knight. I haave never heard of him till just now, but I've known this song for years. Kyle Jennings was who I was used to hear sing it and maybe it's just familiarity, but I like Kyle voice better. Sorry Chris, truly no disrespect intended.

[w3bbgh0st]

@paganknight Well this Kyle guy must have covered it. Seems he just came around in 2004(Kyle guy, never heard of him) but Chris released this song in 2001.

[BoomerGrigsby]

This is truly the best song in recent history. Chris Knights' voice is a solid mixture of rasp and shake. Damn, someone needs to put this song in a movie asap.

[MegaMack1982]

Perhaps one of the best story songs in recent history. So gritty and real. Feel like I'm in the boat, another brother, with another gun.

[6963rtay]

love it kick ass

[bigwytex]

good song



[WeHunt365]

Best song ive ever heard.

[RockAphid44]

[hajihajigeehod]

When Chris says "I put a bullet in his head" i get goosebumps, everytime

[TheCarlNMarge]

Chris, I am NOT one of THOSE Wilsons! Great song.

[ut93rph]

[ChanceVent]

Somebody shot my little brother, and if I find who did it... Were goin down the river!

[chasaspsus321]

@ChanceVent Hell yeah, find em n take em fishin Chance.

[TemptationRevelation]

This is one of the greatest songs in the history of mankind

[fingal113]

[DEERSHAQ]

Fuck with one bean you get the whole burrito!

[64flowers]

CK is one of the great discoveries I've made since satellite radio came into my world 3 years ago. He's a treasure chest of gold and jewels buried in my own back yard. A music lover's dream come true. Thanks! R.R.#1 MN

[SkinnyL1zard]

[TheMover18]

[burrisdarren]

[alilga65]

[chevrolet77k10]

fucking amazing song

[DarkCryo777]

[bitchimninja1]

@tuned1221 that's how i fill you mess with one you mes with all of us

[dragonflychainsaw]

blood is thicker than water

[bigj7180]

he wrote the song in prison

[cromag4golf]

@bigj7180 he has no record at all.

[bigj7180]

@cromag4golf when he was doing interviews on the radio here, (years ago), he said he wrote this in prison. I could be mistaken, or he was doing one hell of a marketing campaign.

[TheEthanjones]

this here my friends is REAL COUNTRY!

[kenster153]

This man is a badass

[hamlinfann]

chris knight is one of the best song writers in my opinion.

[1994DRP]

this song is just....amazing tells such a good story

[BeyondthoughtSs]

good!

[Donnnnnnny]

The rest of Wilson's cousins made a Youtube account just to dislike this video.

[texaslonghorn5211]

@Donnnnnnny lol

[yvwic50]

@Donnnnnnny And they better find a place to hide.

[hectorsalinasisback]

@Donnnnnnny Sounds like a sequel to the song! Chris Knight teams up with Chuck Norris to defeat Wilson's cousins!

[abbottr7]

Damn straight. Kentucky's got the best whiskey,women,music, and grass. Damn fine song.

[wizardman7884]

great song

[69theroad]

Good for you ... god's a bullet

[69theroad]

[joshmilligan777]

[shesgottabe18]

[justme7716]

I just learned of him...was listening to Pandora on my ''Billy Joe Shaver'' station, and heard ''my old cars'' Wow, I had to hear more ! So here I am. Thanks for the GREAT music...the kind I would buy.

[noyup]

WHAT A WASTE! I'd like to swim down and get that anvil!

[adrianspeeder]

Smooth dark song...

[astrosrockmysocks]

Love this song. Chris is the man! Sad song though..=/ i don't wanna go down that river...=/

Keep going Chris!

[dragonflychainsaw]

chris is the good ole boy country singer

[mudbogger183]

is this song true cuz its sad

[18prause]

@mudbogger183 yea dude chris killed a man but didnt tell anyone now he's in prison

[jaredwashere11]

@18prause really

[1shangann]

i heard this song for the first time while riding backroads and drinking cold beer. it gave me chills. i love it!

[johndeereboi26]

this song was sent down from the heavens strait from zeuse himself. its like gods vag. its like a thousand angels playing harps on a fucking cloud. yea its that fuckin good people

[LeadGuitarMark]

94,647 views and 100,000 of them are probably mine.

[grassburner44]

this song reminds me of my boy tank



[deborahkauffman09]

great storyteller...

[JordanSeriously]

you know what i think is funny? i mainly listen to to hip hop and rap but the thing is i listen to only underground. just like chris knight is to country.. its depressing that every genre of music has hidden gems like this that are never found by the mainstream. Even if no one on this video listens to music like i do we can all relate to that cant we?

[Orenwun]

@JordanSeriously No doubt buddy, I'm usually listening to non mainstream Hip Hop & Metal. Good music is good music, IMO its much more appreciated when its slept on, past all the media hype its just good music.

[stangbitten82]

just like sibley mo

[xXACBULLDOGSXx]

he kninda sings off key lol i like it though..

[CatfishJAW]

one of the best songs Iv ever heard, the first time I heard it i was bowfishing. its great

[joebuddy82]

This song is almost as good as watching a 10 point eat corn at my stand.

[stangbitten82]

sounds like sibley missouri  :(

[TheBillStickers]

Oh my God... I have a lot of trouble with Country music but this guy is good. I don't mean that as a platitude, this guy is REALLY good! This is what I'd like to associate Country music with! :D :D :D Beautiful...

[steelermule]

Boy this would be good if someone awsome like Rascal Flatts or Jason Aldean would have performed it

[jaredwashere11]

@steelermule if they singed it it would be the kind of pop country shit they make this is real country music not the shit they sing

[steelermule]

@jaredwashere11 Man I know I just wrote that comment to see how long before someone called me out on it. Rascal Flatts is the gayest shit i ever heard along with the rest of the Cashville pole smokers

[maylee32]

I am in love with this video....

[JacobOverton1]

this song is great but wierd

[stangbitten82]

souds like some sibley mo stories

[IrishDrunk01]

I'm not even close to a country fan but damn is this a good song. You can literally see everything he's singing.

[edvan55]

this song is disturburing

[socalhick13]

@edvan55 What the hell are you you smokeing! this is one of the best modern country story songs every! you can just about see everything that is going on

[Undalabaca]

great song

[Tharix88]

Chris Knight. Ryan Bingham. Hayes Carll. Adam Carroll.. pretty much all the hope we have to keep real country/acoustic alive once Steve Earle and Guy Clark are gone. r.i.p Townes.

[kress1986]

live in kentucky which is where he;s from i know of him for a long time

he has a lot of good music

[uncvidviewer]

We just need to start calling real country music something other than country since the "experts" in corporate nashville dubbed all that boy-band pop stuff as country and forgetting artists like chris knight, ryan bingham, etc.. its just good to see real musiciasns

[delamaskedeskimo]

completely agreed, ryan bingham and chris knight are brilliant

[jensonofmull]

@uncvidviewer i couldn't agree more, bingham and knight's raw, authentic "americana" if you like, is far more real than any of that kenny chesney shit or the other so called country getting recognition. Im from scotland and it is almost impossible to follow the country music scene from here, i was lucky enough to find bingham through the film crazy heart, and bingham led me to knight on youtube. Both are immensley talented songwriters.

[Bangelor]

Awesome sound!

I found Chris Knight on myspace. I searched for my prename Chris and I luckily found em. I like Country much and this sound is exactly what I search for.

[shikamerher]

I remember when this song first come out an hardly anyone here'd of it I can still say that chris's music is something that i can relate to plus I live only one county away from his home place

[outlawDelta1]

pure country gold

[strohsrawls]

I love this song.

- McDowell County, WV

[nwilliamson22]

i co wrote this song and kris is a true country fguy.

[watcherfan03]

this is a true story all country singers sing from they're experiences

[hillbillycatfishin]

chris isn't from texas. he's from slaughters kentucky.

[cbrowns7]

Listen to me..... Chris Knight is a Great PURE performer. It just doesn't get better than this....

[copuschuck]

His songs sound alot like robert earl keen by tellin a story very well done.

[Banjo427]

Anybody know the chords as Chris plays em? ie.. Capo1 - Bm, D Bm D A G etc.  Sounds good to me this way.

Awesome song all the same.

[skeasor]

@Banjo427 Capo 3rd Fret... Am, C, G, F

[t89baseball]

@Banjo427 no capo bm d bm d a g

[21susan59]

THANKS AGAIN. I never get enough.

[harryjohnson313]

this song is bad ass it explains the way shit should be taken care of

[4byron]

love it. serves him right, backwoods justice! chris knight is great!

[calvinray55]

tell you this, makes you wonder what people get away with in those small towns in texas hell sherif probably knew lol and dont kid your self it happens kina scary

[liesofpolaris]

Excellent song

[TheRednkjay]

Man! This guy is OFF THE HOOK!

[dirtfang8]

[riverfootballchamp7]

[mrHOSTILE247]

@riverfootballchamp7 no buddy he is in kentucky born and raised

[gunner3290]

one day they will know how great he is,one of the best ive ever heard

[deadheadbiker]

...put a bullet in his head, dropped him in his tracks...

[RubiconJoey]

Love this song and lots of his others as well...

[jerkyfruit55]

Chris Knight is a genius storyteller and a great musician. He and his band should be bigger than most of the tripe spewing out of Nashville. aka Kenny Chesney, Toby (ack!) Keith, Sugar (bleck!) Land, Rascal (who's balls did they suck?) Flatts, and all the writers who cater to country-pop!

[shinnerbeer]

could not agree more, Knight along with many others who are not on the radio, are True artist and not some marketing D-Bags!

[premiercrete]

KHYI The Range plays this kind of music all the time in DFW

[evanmsmall]

@premiercrete

best station around these parts
