Farr’s platinum-selling title-track “Redneck Crazy” projected Farr forward to celebrate back-to-back #1 singles, including his first #1 as a songwriter, with his platinum-certified hit “Whiskey in my Water.” His sophomore album, Suffer In Peace, followed suit, also making its debut in the Top 5 on both the Billboard Top 200 Albums and Billboard Country Albums Charts, leading Farr to become the only solo male country artist in the past decade to have their first two studio albums debut in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart.
Known for his love for our military and his passion for the outdoors and recognized as a 2014 CRS New Faces of Country Radio and 2014 Music Row “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” nominee, the opera-trained singer quickly earned coveted slots touring with Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Combs, Brantley Gilbert and Lee Brice. The Missouri native’s dry wit, silly antics and reputation as “a no-frills musician who pours his drinks as hard as he pours his heart into his songs,” (Rolling Stone), led to the star’s riotous social following of fans eager for his next move.
After releasing “true-blue country jam” (Country Swag) “Country As Shit,” featuring multi-genre phenomenon Jelly Roll that Taste of Country declared “a summer-ready ode to windows-down, mud-crusted, beer-soaked fun in the country,” Farr is heading back to his rough and rowdy ways with his latest Aldean-produced Rednecks Like Me EP.
Hello Goodbye
Tyler Farr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But here I am standing at the door, with no more walls to hit
I didn't notice it was over, 'till it was to late
All the tears are cried and it's time to walk away
So hello suitcase, hello pictures on the floor,
Hello heartache, hello slamming door,
Hello Silverado running in the drive,
I never knew this gravel drive, could be so damn long
And I never thought, I ever be this close to being gone
I wonder if she wonders, if I'll turn this truck around
I wish I could, 'cause it hurts like hell but it's too late for that now
Se hello highway, hello city limit sign,
Hello sunset, hello Jackson county line,
Hello radio don't play that song tonight,
Hello freedom, hello goodbye.
Oh I did the best to make the best of us
But hell sometimes love just ain't enough
So hello teardrops, hello empty space,
Hello memories, hello love we used to make,
Hello Jesus won't you help me through the night,
Hello tomorrow, hello goodbye.

This song hits hard... I just lost the love of my life of ten years.... I sat in her driveway for hours before I could muster up the courage to leave. Not all bad... I still have my truck and my dog, but not hearing her voice still gets me. It's weird how you can go from someone's everything to someone's nothing.
