Wow thats all i can say, this was my first time hearing this song, what a wonderful piece, its like an older version of eric churchs lightning.

You have to respect his story telling ability, always enjoyed listening to Steve.

first mistake was being born in Oklahoma, from there would did the dude expect?

@dayto18

That is because Eric Church is trying to be the new Steve, but failing. He has nowhere near the songwriting talent. Steve light.

@porterhouse Like he singer of the said song gives a flying fuck after seing the Americian dollar. Time to get with the fecking programme do you reckon so Huck, meanwhile back on planet earth.

@barrj2007 You must have missed the line that reads "I'm not about to say I don't deserve to die." This song is about the experience of a death row inmate and capital punishment and nowhere implies there shouldn't be prisons. The song is intended to present an alternate viewpoint on the issue and get people to think- in some cases getting people to think is far too much to ask.

WoW, never knew there was an official vid of this!! and is it just me or does this sound even more haunting than off the record? I hear a ton of extra atmosphere & it seems a smidge slower ... hmm, 'nother thing to go check :)

@barrj2007 youre simply taking the lyrics the wrong way man.

[SomeNorwegianGuy100]

[EBIG661]

his songs have gotten me through the heartbrek of two divorces but i have sadly followed his foot steps of addiction that has wasted the better part of my life and now here i am twenty years later white knuckle sober wondering which direction to run.
