Dwight Yoakam - A Thousand Miles From Nowhere (Video)

[voidforpurpose]

Best part of "Red Rock West", but you have to wait till the movie is over to get it.

[MrSexysara123]

love this song ....

[barnabas50]

I love this song and video.

[rdb815]

I saw him in an airport bathroom in El Paso, Texas. Needless to say, we didn't talk.

[TheBever64]

@rdb815 lmao!! thats fng hilarious.

[bernicemclay]

I love it.....This is my favorite song and with Dwight singing it it just doesn't get any better....

[ZEivind]

Everytime I watch this video and hear this song, I wish I just could ride upon a train like him.

Feel the hot sun and the lovely wind travelling in a good speed to a uknown, far away place. Dont know when you will arrive, only that you once will, and in the meantime can enjoy the scenery.

That's what I would call freedom...

[josephhelvey]

What an incredible artist. He has it all, especially the voice. I am not a traditional country music fan but I appreciate talent and just good music. Yoakam is one of the best.

[bamafant92]

dwight and buck are tops

[onedayatatime10]

onedayatatime10 wondering why some posts wont go through? And disappears? Maybe write less? I'm tweeting for Dwight to come to the East Coast? others are doing it too!! I'm not giving up!!

[onedayatatime10]

@PryonHsv I have too!! I saw Dwight about 18 yrs ago in Sacramento CA, where I'm from! now in MD came to stay a bit and stayed! Wish Dwight would come to the East Coast be Great!!!! My Son is in the Army and 24 saw Dwight when he was around 7 yrs old and loved it:)

G marc

[210soloyo]

i feel like i'm a thousand miles from nowhere, everyday , but i keep on going with god above taking my back!!!!

[blackkeysown]

dwight yoakam! favorite singer when i as a kid! aw yeah

[TheTuggerrype]

Train surfing as well! is there nothing Dwight can't do!! We love him here in Australia.

[mymusic777ify]

@TheTuggerrype And i live in scandinavia,lot of folks up here hasn't even heard about him

maybe i should move to Australia!

[TheTuggerrype]

@mymusic777ify Hi mymusic777ify :) Dwight's from America but we've got some really cool C&W radio stations down here that play stuff from all over. Scandinavia?? My goodness that must be cold in winter. May I suggest a song by Rednex called Cotten Eye Joe to dance around the Igloo with? :)

[mymusic777ify]

@TheTuggerrype cold?that's the understatement of the year! it's freezing up here and i don't like it AT ALL! i must've born on the wrong side of the ocean! i keep a little Dwight in my heart that should keep me warm.I'd love to see him... sigh... The worst part is he was actually here in my country a few years ago and i didn't get to see him,thanx to the lack of Yoakam interest in this part of the world arrgh...i guess i'm not a very good spokesman for the scandinavian tourism!

[TheTuggerrype]

@mymusic777ify That's ok mymusic :) I've got a mate who moved from Australia to Austria and loves it. He reckons the the beer is good (which i can understand) but the goat herding and Yodelling is letting him down.

[mymusic777ify]

@TheTuggerrype i can understand that:)) i see on the news there's a serious flood in Queensland i reckon you're not in that area ?hope not too many gets hurt.

[TheTuggerrype]

@mymusic777ify Nah. All is good.Hey what's the time in your neck of the woods??

[mymusic777ify]

@TheTuggerryp Oh i'm so sorry, only 5 o'clock in the afternoon up here! i completely forgot about the difference in hours

[Banzaishuriken]

this sucks so bad



[AnaheimAngels12]

@Banzaishuriken Well, what kind of music do you like?

[Banzaishuriken]

@AnaheimAngels12 Pretty much anything that's not Country.

[MrRazorblade999]

@Banzaishuriken Justin Bieber then

[AnaheimAngels12]

@Banzaishuriken Then why did you go to a country video and post your opinion, which no one here cares about?

[ChowderedRust]

@Banzaishuriken well get the fuck out then, we don't need to practice RANDY!

[ladyritz76903]

My husband used to ride the trains and this reminds me of him. I love the song and Dwight's not bad either!

[AwesomeBeatles]

I am not a fan of country music, but the first time I heard this song in a movie, I said "that is a great song". I love this melody.

[wallgreeens420]

i think he has jim morrison's pants and belt on

[jonnycashman100]

How dose he move around the train so fast XD

[xxPerfectyInsanexx]

luv it anything you sung

[lakeboy36111]

lol, yep definitley a drinking and driving tune

[anitagillette]

This is his best

[Anlimema]

Hello Everyone!

It’s Music that’s keeping me alive.

My life is so difficult and the only thing to forget my problems is the Music.

All of you will think I’m crazy but you’re wrong

Because singing and writing I can be who really I am.

I’m so grateful because now I can smile, dreaming, screaming. (And I owe it all to music and to god)

Well, I made some covers and I just upload it to my channel and I’ll be grateful if you stop by my channel and check it out.

Thank you so much!!

[jeannem101]

Seriously HOT !!!!

[mymusic777ify]

@jeannem101 I agree! i could look at those leggs all day! they just go on and on an on...

[TheTuggerrype]

@mymusic777ify you perves!! :)

[Michelle79098]

Your a great,really good singer! I like ur voice. Thank you! ;)

[aoropeza1234]

My sentiments exactly...lost my job three weeks ago, lost my girlfriend this week & my unemployment benefits claim denied for late time clock punches yesterday...I'm a thousand miles from nowhere...nothing matters now...

[massuana]

Super !!!

[Coilingtechcom]

I love this song! This is a legit video!

[TheTuggerrype]

It sort of sounds surfy. a band called Midnight Oil did an instrumental called Wedding Cake Island a long time ago and it rings a bell.

[traumitizedin68]

Exactly where I am right now, even in a city full of people.

[bonnie1889]

that's where i am in everyway....

[robinbear88]

He has one of the most soothing voices,it relaxes me when Im all stressed out.Beautiful song.

[WallabeeDeviant89]

"I PLAY CARDS WITH J.D. SHELNUT, CHIEF OF PO-LICE, SO YOU CAN JUST KISS MY ASS YOU OLD BASTARD!"

[TexasRho83]

Dwight's one of the best contemporary singer songwriters out there. He helped carry the Bakersfield torch from Buck Owens and continues to stick to a traditional country sound despite the mainstream detour towards pop country. He writes most of his material and leave us not forget he can also act (He co-wrote, starred, and produced South of Heaven, West of Hell) - Go Dwight!

[justgot123]

I'm not a country music fan but this song is just beautiful

[25Garf]

Philmont Scout ranch-86--88. That's all

Philmont Scout Ranch! 86-88! Enough said!

[Papsmeass]

I love this song. I wish I could get on one of those trains, ride into the sunset and then never to be seen or heard from again..........

[jerdeb4evr]

@Papsmeass The only one holding you back is you. 

[chupacabron1]

Great song! I played this song over and over when driving from El Paso, TX to Calexico, CA.

[xoxotyanichellexoxo]

@chupacabron1 i officially love the word calexico..thank you for introducing me to it. (:

[bishophill2010]

@chupacabron1 yes

andyobryan



[angrybird1980]

For a country singer, Dwight got mad swags. Thats why he is so cool he got all that whole swags thing going on and you cant tell if he is a country artist or a rock n roll guy.

[Pretzapoo]

This song reminds me of a guy i know... I miss Him

[ALTATERRA99]

Probably one of the best songs of contry...for my.

[MrSlootmans]

hay is cool man

Gr Mark from belguim

[YohLawliet]

Red Rock West!!!

[Thanatocoenosis]

i SHOT MORE HEROINE THAN U EVER DID

[Debbiedoo05]

@Thanatocoenosis Are you proud of that...hang in there..

[saltsister1]

Outstanding video!! The song even better. Let me grab my boots and hat and jump on with you. The very best to you.

[890slay]

I heard this song on the closing credits of the movie Red Rock West starring Nicholas Cage and Lara Flynn Boyle, very good song

[BoxcarSteve316]

He manages to find a unlock boxcar. I am jealous. its hard to find one train hoping these days.

[SixCards54]

There was a time when I could wear pants like that =)

I'm still a thousand miles from nowhere.

Slingblade =)

[SixCards54]

Try singing it sometime. He makes it look easy =)

[UntilWeMeetAgainVic]

I play this all the time when I'm drinking and driving.

[shaun1982911]

@UntilWeMeetAgainVic lol i hope your a 1000 miles from nowhere, It reminds me of that too, drunk 4x4ing lol still being safe though seat-belts and all.

[MisterBeaucoup]

@UntilWeMeetAgainVic Wow, I hope you're not serious, haha

[UntilWeMeetAgainVic]

@MisterBeaucoup I am, but don't worry because I can handle my shit. I was actually drinking and driving tonight on my way back from the game. I was a perfect driver and I only hit 100mph four times, so...

[lakeboy36111]

@UntilWeMeetAgainVic Definitley a drinking and driving tune !

[hhatchette]

@UntilWeMeetAgainVic me too bro



[05cr125rider]

@UntilWeMeetAgainVic

Doyle, you aint drinkin and drivin are you? Yeah, pretty much...

[ChowderedRust]

@UntilWeMeetAgainVic congratulations

[cshawnharris]

@UntilWeMeetAgainVic please be careful

[ldylkr]

@UntilWeMeetAgainVic wtf???

[akfunnyguy]

Never thought id like this guy....but I do like this tune. Good music

[wesleycole82]

preach

[clutterbells]

This was on Australian TV overnight, Great memories.

[MrTommyheddenstomboy]

FOR SOME REASON THIS HAS BEEN 1 OF MY FAVORITE SONG YOU DO ...TAKE CARE ....

[shuckydurn2]

I aim to kill you wit it....... I see nothing but Carl when I look at him now

[fancifulfilly]

P.S. That is some fine-lookin' guitar strap, notice how it matches his concho belt!

[63rza]

@fancifulfilly channeling the greatest rocknroll frontman of all time with his leathers and concho belt. of course noone pulls this off quite like jim morrison, but dwights cool enough to make it work.

[fancifulfilly]

@63rza I admit I never thought of it, but it seems he is channeling a bit of Morrison there too! Now, if he had been wearing BLACK leather pants with that belt, I would have seen it instantly. JM was definitely cool, but Dwight CAN pull it off! As I said, he also channels Clint Eastwood's badass air as well. :)

[Jean699669]

Best 4 Minutes and 28 Seconds of me life!!!

[TheRobbyDanger]

dwight is definition of cool....go watch him live if you hav'nt he still fits in those 1990 wranglers....the women go fucking nuts...also his band is SPOT ON

[jam62991]

A thousand miles from Canada!

[catinlafayette]

This song takes me somewhere, and I like it.

[alexafagan]

I agree with JTxthomasson92 below, at least he can wear them, what a butt....

[alexafagan]

The song that got me hooked, and I never looked back, because it just got better, check out the accoustic album AWESOME, 70 minutes of bliss...

[warren3427]

Awesome

[JTxthomasson92]

Dwight Yoakam should sue jeggings for stealing his product.

[fancifulfilly]

@JTxthomasson92 Except that 'jeggings' is not a company, just a name for a hybrid item of clothes, AND they are chick attire. Last time I looked, he was no girl. Thank god...

[fancifulfilly]

@cracks21229 Copperhead Road: A great, great album. Love it. What a poet! Last night I listened to Blame the Vain, also a great album. But tonight, all night, I will be listening to a great artist gunned down in the prime of his life by a psychopath, 31 years ago today. (It's my custom on this date). May your soul fly forever free John Lennon.

[timsauto10]

Thanks Cody, you must be really smart. How would anyone have pickles in his head. You must have a Hi Skool Diplowmuh. Thanks fo ejimikating me.

[timsauto10]

"I've got heartaches in my pocket. I've got pickles in my head?" Now I love Dwights music, but what exactly does that mean?

[Jbridg87]

@timsauto10 ... the guy likes to drink...

[CodytheMan08]

@timsauto10 He says echoes in my head...

[longbowreaper]

the 34 people who dislike this video must hate their lives

[Dukeofurlz]

@longbowreaper, Yep, they don't know what squat...

[326kjk]

Great music; sad background...Carolyn Mayer who c0-directed this with Dwight died on Flight 11 on 9/11, heard Dwight start talking about and he broke down and couldn't continue.

[irishguy1960xxx]

",...in the mirror theres a vision..of what used to be a man..."...damn

[tasbomber]

great sound..luv his smooth voice and twangy guitar..one of my fave listen to's....

[mythid12]

A most distinguishable voice that easily be heard during country radio's hey days when they played great selections of many artists of past and present.

[redhead5150]

Dwight says it all, 1,000 miles from nowhere and there nowhere I wanna be!!

[vickiryan100]

Dwight is so talented and so sexy I watch this video way too much....



[mymusic777ify]

@vickiryan100 me too! been without my computer for 3 weeks HE IS WHAT I MISSED!

[3227dennis]

@vickiryan100 you need to get out of the house more often, come on

[MrBluewatson]

Crank 1 an 2 brought me here, love this guy, so cool.

[VulcanCruiserFDMan]

One of the best country singers out there...

[cowgirlonup]

Sling Blade made me despise Dwight :| but I can't help to come back those painted on pants he he he

[fancifulfilly]

@cowgirlonup Yes, Dwight did play a real lowlife redneck in Sling Blade, but that is just silly to despise him over a role. It's kind of like me hating Sean Penn for years because he so often plays an a--hole. Did you hate Brad Pitt for portraying that sociopath who stole all Louise's money from Thelma? He was pretty loathsome, he just talked much nicer, you know?

[cowgirlonup]

@fancifulfilly .. ahem.. I'm not gonna be a bitch and get real deep in this.. I still LIKE Dwight THANK YOU .. and I don't like brad pitt so I couldn't answer that one (:

[fancifulfilly]

@cowgirlonup You sure it's Dwight you like? and not just his tight, tight leather pants that you "can't help but come back to"? he he he

[sudd2010]

34 people are most def a thousand miles from no where

[69THGILF]

Sure lets go play on trains. Oh way they do its called train surfing.



[harleyluvrable]

Oregon, definately reminds me of Oregon. I am from Colorado but I have been there. It rained like hel and was cold. Unforgettable and it sucked.

[jbfromalbury]

I want those spray on pants!!!

[MrBoxerdog77]

whats with Youtube, why cant I post a video with the thumbnail picture of the video

[renegejervall]

Älskar Dwight!!

[TheLalalalily]

lol he stars in panic room

[fancifulfilly]

This song is haunting...so simple, yet so beautiful. And as for the singer...major hattitude, awesome bootitude, (and when he turns around, booty-tude!) mile-long legs...sigh! Just lookin' at him and I could die happy. And the way his voice sort of falters at the end when he sings: "what used to be a man." ahhh!

[cracks21229]

@fancifulfilly Most of the great country music was haunting. That was the art of it. There is no art in the crap you hear on CMT or radio these days. I am not sure when it changed but Yoakam was one of the last of the greats. Sad really. You could write a country song about but they wouldn't even play on the radio.

[fancifulfilly]

@cracks21229 I would have to agree...DY's music is haunting in its beauty and simplicity. I don't like to sound all exclusive, but I hate most of the horse s--t that comes out of Nashville these days Another personal favorite (and there are not many) is Steve Earle--kind of funny that they both came out around the same time, and both got their share of scorn by the Nashville establishment. But they are both SO great, at least IMO.

[cracks21229]

@fancifulfilly True enough. I just got finished listening to "Copperhead Road". That song is haunting and dark too. Just great stuff. I wish I could pinpoint when country music went bad. Must have been in the 90s maybe?

[danimacwilly]

@fancifulfilly You are so right!! He is awfully hot!

[danimacwilly]

@fancifulfilly You are so right!! He is awfully hot!

[fancifulfilly]

@danimacwilly Yes, he is, and there is also something badass about him in this video. When he is standing on the bridge, and the scene is shot from below, w/Dwight in silhouette above, he looks a bit dangerous, like Clint Eastwood on that rr bridge in 'Dirty Harry'. Da-amn, he has both Clint's badassery AND his hattitude!

[Disposition446]

POWERFUL JOE ROGAN

[duckonwater10]

Absolutely great song - just carries you along on the journey. How cool is Dwight?! Great singer - great video!

[Succubus1992]

looks like New Mexico ... not sure ... but I love all his music from the beginning decades ago.

[championkhan]

nice song Dwight.

[Disposition446]

Joe rogan lmao

[slknezz]

he wears sum tight fitting pants who paints them on for his videos......he sexy..i wanna have his baby....

[akfunnyguy]

Never thought id like this guy but this song is great. next new cd possibly...

[cpsmach]

Dwight's story why this video is split screen is cool. My favorite song!

[rockethtown]

I seen dwight yoakam more times then any other act..Just put on a great show..Pete Anderson was always my fav Gtar player

[l33tpwnzord]

I liked him better in Panic Room with Jodie Foster

[acheybrenda]

I wonder where this was shot, anyone know

[acheybrenda]

i love what he is wearing in this video, great song.

[Texasalchymyst]

Great song.



[jjjmac1]

my father works at CNR and this really reminds me of him

[Hugo411]

Wish he would do a Duet with great harmony. Im jus asking.

[xPROF4NEx]

The ONLY country singer I'll ever listen too....EVER.

[majajh]

Makes me want to go on a train ride.

[Calamity590]

very beautiful

[mymusic777ify]

most beautiful eyes i've ever seen! 

[allthatremains2009]

well if it aint doyle hargraves himself

[28drew28]

Song reminds of my job driving through western Kansas.

[Calamity590]

very nice song

[Calamity590]

I love this song, beautiful voice !!!!

[Ilovetheplatypus]

©2005? There is only one explanation for this. I was abducted by aliens in the early 90s, sent to 2005 where I heard this played on the radio constantly with achy breaky heart, and somehow ended up back in the 90s where I had to endure mmm bop... Little green bastards!

[Mr]

One of the few good songs dwight yoakum ever did.
