[Verse 1] A heart on a run keeps a hand on a gun Can't trust anyone I was so sure what I needed was more Tried to shoot out the sun The days when we raged, we flew off the page Such damage was done But I made it through, 'cause somebody knew I was meant for someone [Chorus] So, girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room 'Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good [Verse 2] I put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress In Richmond on High I sobered up, I swore off that stuff Forever this time And the old lover's sing, “I thought it'd be me Who helped him get home” But home was a dream, one that I'd never seen 'Til you came along [Chorus] So, girl, hang your dress out to dry, we ain't leavin' this room 'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through And carries this house on its Stones like a piece of driftwood So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] So, girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room 'Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good [Outro] So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

I was today years old when I learned my favorite Jason Isbell song had been covered. Not bad, but Jason brings me to tears every. single. time. I hear him sing it. I'm so glad his song is reaching a wider audience, though. Jason Isbell was my #1 on my Spotify wrap up. Again.
This song helped me get through a very rough 5 weeks of treatment for illness. I have no idea how I even found this song and I had never heard of Morgan Wallen. It’s almost like this song found ME! Thank you Jason Isabell for writing this amazing song and thank you Morgan Wallen for making your rendition of his song!!!
I am a veteran. This song explains exactly what it feels like to come home. With everything going on in the world lately. People have forgotten that there are people still out there fighting to give people the freedom that they are taking advantage of. Yet, we come home every day and have to deal with our own demons. There are a lot of times, when we watch whats happening, we have to stop and ask ourselves, why do we bother. Thank you for such an amazing song.
Thank you for your service. No matter what happens in this country soldiers are going to be under appreciated. I am thankful that you worked to protect a bunch of people that think that they don’t need you. ❤️❤️
"i sobered up, i swore off that stuff, forever this time." we all face these demons on our darkest days, but remember every bad day only has 24 hours. this song hits me in multiple ways. usmc veteran to an alcoholic to severe depression. cover me up gets me through a lot.
I lost my son to addiction 11 years ago he was 22 and I miss him more and more every day. I failed him and the guilt is killing me slowly, so please don't ever give up because it will leave your mom and siblings broken, I know it's not a choice he fought pill addiction everyday and said mom I don't want to be this way and they don't. People don't understand its an illness. I miss you always Alex James (AJ) RIP in peace my angel
No one could ever do it like Jason does it, it's his baby and the emotion he puts into that song just cant be copied. That said great job Morgan Wallen, I went in expecting the song to not only not done justice but ruined. I was so wrong, great job on your rendition of a song that is more, it is a living breathing thing in it's own right.
I fought addiction for 5 years. Im 23 years old. I lost my home and both of my babies. I spent 99% of my adult hood in jail and rehab. I'm now 1 year clean. My 1 year was the 12th! I'm in phase 3 of drug court. I have custody of both of my kids again! I have my own home, a steady job and a wonderful fiance! He proposed to me on my 1 year clean. Everyone on these comments that is struggling with addiction please keep fighting! THOSE PROMISES ARE REAL! Your dreams will come true. This is the good fight yall! WE ARE WORTHY & WE DO RECOVER!
Congrats darlin be the voice of a success story for all the ladies looking up that's all it takes is proof that it's possible, idk you but proud of ya from afar sweetie
@@morganwallen2493 You are so awesome to respond to fans like this. My wife and 19 year-old daughter introduced me to your music. I had given up on country until I heard you. I think you're every bit as good as George Jones, Garth or the other crooners from the 70s and 80s and early 90s. Would love to see you in concert but seats get sold out early for your shows. I'm sure we will catch you at some point in the next couple of years, God willing. Keep doing what you're doing and don't pay attention to the cancel people who get their shorts in a wad over everything.
When I listen to this song I remember how healing music is to my life. I hear it and it pulls me in completely. I hope anyone going through something like this remembers that life is worth it and to keep fighting. I’ve been sober for 20 years now and I couldn’t have done it without music like this. We have to hear the things we don’t want to hear and feel the lowest to heal. Stay positive and remember that life is short and its easy to take it for granted 😊
I'm a us army veteran. But also I've struggled with alcohol and drug use over the years. I've seen the military tribute version of this song also, and it gives me mixed emotions. Both versions do because it hits home to me in so many ways. But anyhow, long story short I met and amazing and wonderful lady that I'm dating now. We've been together since January and I have been clean for a while now. I thank God that He brought her into my life, she gives my life purpose and loves me regardless of my flaws and she knows I'm not perfect and never will be, but I know she loves me regardless. I hope to get married to her one day God willing. I can see a future with her and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me and her. I love you so much Grace Isabella ❤️❤️😘
A heart on the run Keeps a hand on the gun You can't trust anyone I was so sure What I needed was more Tried to shoot out the sun The days when we raged, we flew off the page Such damage was done But I made it through, 'cause somebody knew I was meant for someone So girl, leave your boots by the bed We ain't leaving this room 'Til someone needs medical help Or the magnolias bloom It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood So cover me up and know you're enough To use me for good Put your faith to the test When I tore off your dress In Richmond on high I sobered up, I swore off that stuff Forever this time And the old lover's sing "I thought it'd be me who helped him get home" But home was a dream One that I'd never seen 'til you came along So girl, hang your dress out to dry We ain't leaving this room 'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide And the river runs through And carries this house on the Stones Like a piece of driftwood So cover me up and know you're enough To use me for good So girl, leave your boots by the bed We ain't leaving this room 'Til someone needs medical help Or the magnolias bloom It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood So cover me up and know you're enough To use me for good So cover me up and know you're enough To use me for good
This song gives me goosebumps and reading everyone’s struggle in the comments gives me a sense of community that’s so raw. We are fighting together! Separately, simultaneously, why not united?
My husband was struggling with his addiction he listened to this song over and over again.. and this song truly helped him be strong enough to pull out of his addiction! He swore of that stuff for the last time! Thank u Morgan wallen for dropping such an amazing deep song to help so many ppl
This song will forever be imbedded in me. My mother passed away out of no where. I was 25 at the time. Took a month to get the autopsy and found out it was due to hydrocodone overdose. Broke me down to the core. When I got the autopsy this was the first song I played immediately. Just cried my eyes out to it over and over. Ok 27 now and still no where near healed. Life goes on and I still miss you mommy.
I am a person that has had to pay the ultimate price for addiction. I lost my son Mason 2 years ago and then 6 months later I lost my wife Tricia. I am a veteran. So, I do know how to fight. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how much you are willing to fight (to the death) isn't enough when someone is in the grips of addiction. If they don't want to stop you will be standing over a coffin with your heart ripped out your head forever hanging down. God please help others fight for themselves and overcome their own addiction. So, no one else has to feel this pain.
The power of music is unbelievable... It can pull emotions out of thin air... Sitting here in the quiet on the computer, and this song comes on. This version has become my all time favorite some. This songs makes me think of my girlfriend, and hopefully soon to be my fiance. Never have I clicked with someone so fast, so effortless. I hope this is our wedding song.
used this as the entrance song for my husband and family in our wedding in December ~ it’s how i knew it was starting ✨✨ Describes us perfectly ~ both recovering addicts that have a hellofa story together and not he literally cuts trees for a living so when he says “it’s cold in this house and i ain’t going out to chop wood” it resonates different…. ❤
Lol me crying and laughing at the same time reading this 😭 😂 same i can relate my hubcuts wood and when we were in addition he stoped all that we would be cold high and now 7 years sober the 2 of us he's the main man at the city and still.cuts wood for a hobby
This love song isn’t just for recovering drug addicts or veterans with ptsd. We all have our different struggles we’re battling. Some of us have had to overcome depression, losing people close to us, being betrayed by those we invested so much into, burned bridges, forks in our roads, alienation from family members, or simply ghosts from our past decisions or lingering regrets, the “Things” we must find the strength to move past so that we can truly be whole for the person we meet in life who loves us back like no other person has. We all have to move past something to discover how loving this person back the right way, starts with yourself, and when we find this love we then can love each other in a same sorta way…a way we really should, so it can last forever. 🙏
I went through a DV relationship and got out of it after a year and a half. Struggled with depression afterwards and turned to the bottle. This song made me put down the bottle and tell myself I am good enough for somebody out there
When you find your soulmate, and songs like this one feel like whatever home is supposed to be. Feels like your life has been saved, but more importantly... you're givin the joy of life again. Drew🖤
I have no words to express how much I love this song for many reasons. I almost Cry every time I hear it. Thank You Morgan you are so amazing in so many ways. 🧡🤍🧡🤍
I’m seriously contemplating joining the military, and for some reason this song really gets to me. Especially that first verse 🙏 Morgan, you have a timeless voice - one that has the power to reach different people for different reasons and deeply touches them. God bless you, buddy! We love and support you ‘til the end, brother!
Coming from a soldier. It is a great path and this song I feel was written for us man. It’s a representation of how we live. And if you do decide to go. I’ll be happy to have you as my battle buddy. HMU if u need any advice my Snapchat is kingpinpapia1
I'm in the same boat as you. Trying for the air force currently, I've been lucky enough to fly before and I absolutely love it. This song really opens up to the unfortunate reality of it though
Thank Michael for his service! I pray for his safe return. It's brave men and women like him that allow us to sleep soundly at night and I thank God for our soldiers and their families who also sacrifice so much!
@@XxJustinxx88 Thank you so much. People like you make it a much nicer place in the USA for our military personnel. I will tell him what you said; he always appreciates the people who approach him and he always takes the time to acknowledge each and every person who does. Hope you and yours have a great holiday season.
From a past service member, no matter how tough things get or the distance be there for him. Don't just throw in the towel as we see it every day from brothers who's loved one just drop them when the storms get to big. Then come home to a silent house
I was introduced to this song by a friend who loves country music as I'm finding my way back to country music it doesn't matter what song it is as long as you have great taste in music whether it's Country Rock Jazz any great song there's no such thing as a bad song the only bad song is the one not listened to From whatever era all 60s 70s 80s 90s mid 2000s
I hurt so much. This song really hits home. Sometimes I wonder why life is the way it is. When you love someone so much but no matter what you do or how much you love it just doesn’t feel like you’re enough. I hope he knows how much I love him even though Things have been hard lately. I am still and will always be here for you even when you don’t feel like I am. I love you 🥺😔😞
this song makes me cry like a baby... my brother battled with addiction with alcohol and pills, numerous medical probelms, along with his battle with cancer. he overcame all of it and got his life back on track at the young age of 25, and i was so damn proud of him. i felt like i had my brother back. 13 months, 7 days ago i lost my brother to an unexpected death. he was found unconscious and not breathing at his home. he once again battled for his life at the hospital but this time he didnt win the battle... i love you so much big bro and this song will forever remind me of you.
I read this made me cry so hard I lost my best friend to addiction he was like my brother and I miss him so much I'm sorry for your lose my friend may u have a blessed life 😭
I’m 23 months clean from meth Thank you God for your mercy Thank you Morgan for this wonderful beautiful song!God bless us all whom are struggling with addiction
I am currently struggling with health issues and don't know how long I'm going to last, but this song hits home when it comes to me and my wife. I love her so much and she loves me, I wish we could listen to this together forever.
I'm almost 60 and have more health problems than I can count - seriously. Have almost died more times than I can count. But for some reason God keeps me alive. Death is only the beginning of our real lives. At this point, I'm really not scared so I see all of this as a gift. Maybe you can think of your health problems like I do - as practice for when we transition to a better life.
I’m a veteran from the Persian Gulf War back in 1991. Platoon Leader for a line of medics out of/ attached to the 2nd of the 502nd, Ft. Campbell, KY. I was an officer, and I have seen PTSD there and here both. I’m struggling with some issues myself, and like finding an excellent source of healing, as this song is. It goes deeper than so many songs do, and music is healing. We played good stuff in a few UH-1’s before they really started becoming decommissioned and sold. Nothing will ever replace the thoroughly heartfelt care, support, dedication and love that my NCO’s had, along with the skills they encompassed. What a bittersweet time. This song meant so much when I first heard it, and it still does. Take care, veterans. Love you! Oh, and…………I am a woman.
1st of the 505th, Desert Storm , also Operation Gothic Serpent with 10th Mtn Inf., and Operation Iraqi Freedom. It's with me to this day and will be until the day I leave this earth. I can never close my eyes at night, without seeing those children's faces. 🥺
I was stationed at ft Campbell 2016-19 3rd brigade 2/506 I was deeply in love w a man who suffered ptsd from war he was so damaged he couldn’t love me the way I needed him to he hurt me so bad I used to tell him I’ll stay until u get better he would say I’m ruined for life & he finally let me go
Wow, I had no idea so many addicts like myself listened to this song when their hearts were broken in active addiction like I was. 💔 That moves me to tears. ❤ I remember those days and I am a little over a year clean!!! Love you guys, love you, Morgan! 😘
It’s terrible for everyone involved. The whole situation just plain sucks ass 😞 my husband and I went through this back in December 2008. I knew as soon as he got home that he was not him anymore. It was the hardest thing to go through.
Most beautiful song I’ve heard in a long time. The melody is absolutely perfect. Paints a beautiful picture in everyone’s head. When a song can do that, it’s a damn good song.
Listen to the cover of this song by Home Free the first time I ever heard it. Made me cry! I had a different take on it but listening to him singing it tonight gave me an even different take on it. Cried again. ADDICTION hits hard when it's your child and you don't ever know if that next phone call will be the one telling you we found her in some ditch on the side of the hyway , can you come identify the remains.. Recovery is long and hard but so worth it . Keep fighting. I am praying for each one of you and your family's. My child is alive and drug /alcohol free for 4 years .
@MrPoncho1965 My heart is breaking right now. I can't even breathe for crying . I can't help but wonder if the journey to this point for you is now filled with so much pain that it's unbearable or such relief that it's unbearable, I say relief because it has to feel like now you don't have to wonder or worry , but a whole new set of anguish. As I cry I am begging for heavenly comfort for your family , for her Mother that has spent countless hours praying for her child that is still connected to her very being. For her Father , the rock of the family who has been brought to his very knees in feelings of hopelessness because he cannot fix this like her broken bicycle or skinned knee. I am truly so very sorry.
To whomever is reading this, I genuinely hope you're doing okay and I wish all the best things to come in you're life and may all the right people surround you. Just take it one day at a time and try to get out of the house and your mind. Love you. stay strong. 🖤
Props to Jason Isbell for an amazing song, and props to Morgan Wallen for singing it so ridiculously good. I've been sober for over 10 years and I think a lot of people involved in this song or listening to it can relate (seems Mr. Wallen is no exception judging by some of his private struggles that made it into the public). I'm also not a country fan whatsoever but man this song hits different. It's the only country song I've learned to sing and play on the guitar.
And he didn't do it justice like Warren zieders. This is probably the worst cover of the song. Morgan Wallen is country cosplay for people that grew up in cities.
I was lost on my addiction for 18 years, I lost everything. Through My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I got my sanity back. That's all I need to get it all back. God is good, God is the GREATEST. All Glory to God
That’s great what you accomplished 18 years is a long time to be lost I also was lost for about 20 years it’s so scary how quick it went by Especially if you were anything like me I’d always tell myself next week or tomorrow I’ll start just one more But as the saying goes THE TOMORROW IS THE TODAY YOU THOUGHT OF YESTERDAY That’s the one big thing I learnt That if you want to make changes to your life they have to start instantly No tomorrow or next week any of it I glad you’re doing well now Though we have lost a significant portion of our lives to addiction I do believe that it builds character and really teaches you to be grateful for what you have in your life now and be thankful for it I hope that god’s journey for you now will be all worth it in the end That’s what I believe anyway God bless my friend keep doing what your doing All it takes is for the right person to read what you wrote and it could be the spark they needed to turn their life around Take care

No doubt, one of the worst things I was going thru was I knew I was a prisoner behind d my addiction but I couldn't stop it. I just went with the flow telling myself that 1 day it'll stop. That was every single day tho
This song will always make me think of you. Sometimes in a wholesome fulfilling way, and other times when I'm just a puddle in the tub. Regardless, I'm so thankful for this gem of a song, a man to relate it to, and the ability to keep it on repeat.
hello, have seen a handful of your comments on my posts on here, I want to say thank you for your love and support, I created this channel as part of my project to reach out to my fans and you are amazing❤️❤️. where are you from ?
Wife played this song going to bed after a very harsh argument between us & the next morning I woke up listening to this song and balled like a baby not falling but in love or anything, but falling so much deeper in love & realizing how much softer I have to be with her and really consider her emotions and quit being so selfish. I was basking in the love union of our marriage that morning listening to this song. And later that day the best job I ever had that I had lost called me back. Sitting here now typing this. All of that was probably 3 days okay? Sitting here at work now just blessed & thankful for the life God has given me & he definitely used this song to soften me up & call me out of all my pride.
No we dont need a Eric Church, we dont need a Chris Stapleton, all this song needs to be great is for it to be sung by the creator of the masterpiece. Jason Isbell, no one can sing it the way he sings it because he poured his heart and soul into the creation of it. That being said I think Morgan Wallen done a fine job, and even though I never really felt the same passion as when I hear Jason sing it, I did feel something, and that's something.
Danced with my ex-wife tonight to this song. It’s the first time we ever slow danced. I still loved her a lot. Hopefully it won’t be our last. Praying for a future with her but this time I’ll get it right.
Hey just checking back in, 2 years later. Hope you're wherever it is you want to be with the ones who matter most to you, making a difference, because you knew it was worth it! Be well! 😊
In the middle of fighting for my life. 35 years of unprocessed trauma and multiple new diagnoses. I’m holding on and getting stronger. Can’t put my finger on it but maybe It’s the tone of his voice that comforts/heals something deep inside me.
Keep on keepin on brotha,. Sometimes the ones who go through the most , experience hardships and trauma can make the biggest and most positive changes in this world. We need more people not giving up who suffer , more people coming together lifting each other up. One at a time , together we can make changes... Difference. Ripples of positive change instead of hurt people hurting people .
I went to my cousins wedding yesterday and they played this song and it went so well I almost cried. I love you Morgan thanks for making this music it helps me get through hard times. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Man idk what to say I ball every time I hear this song. Because one I am an addict who's fighting everyday to get sober again. This song hits home for sure. Being an addict and having a mental illness do not mix. I've lost everything and everyone I love. So I'm stuck in this big ol world all alone now. If you have never faced this kinda life I pray and hope u never have to. It's the most saddest but loneliest part of ur life u will ever face. Life got the best of me and I lost myself for awhile. so I'm taking it one day at a time. God bless keep fighting cause u will loose ur self and ur mind if u give up. We are worth it we are enough and one day I'll be enough for someone. But for now I got me and that's all that matters now. I'm just glad I didn't have kids threw all this cause they wouldn't have deserved that.

I am so glad I came across this song. I feel every word more then I can imagine. It makes me feel the love we used to have for eachother. Now things are so different and I wish everyday we had that back. I still love you with everything in me. I just miss you...the old you.💔😣
Antonio Acevedo just imagine holding the girl of your dreams, on your wedding night, finally giving her your last name, and being the happiest man alive. I can’t wait until I marry my girl
What an empowering song with such depth, it truly speaks to the soul and addresses the vast struggles we all face. This song makes me think of the decade of domestic abuse I endured and my journey of healing. With much gratitude, I thank the Lord for providing the opportunity to serve as a therapist, turning suffering into a blessing. This song is definitely one I will have to share with my clients 💕.
I always questioned why i had to endure the things i did as a child growing up, then i had children and i realized... "i made it through because somebody knew i was meant for someone." When i heard those words it hit my soul and since then I've had that line made into a tattoo for my kids. I did and will always do anything, go through absolutely anything because i was made to be their mama...
Last ex couldn’t get enough of Morgan and every time I hear one of his songs all I can think about is her. This was the first song we made out to. I can’t get her out of my head even though she’s been gone for 4 months now. :(
I feel this man, it gets easier I can promise you that. Been about 6 months with mine. Still stings sometimes, probably always will, but it’ll be better in the end. Only thing we can do is keep moving forward day by day. And hope that someday things will be ok and more importantly worth it
Thought Garth was King but OMG ..Morgan wallen is it....Got my heart back in the Country .Amen to you and yours Brother...keep doing what you do...your a blessing
One day I was on my way to the lake and was listening to this song and just looked around and was thinking, Man, God has given us a great world to look over and love. I don't even know how I thought that because this song doesn't really talk about it but I did and almost started crying lol. But great job Morgan this is a beautiful song and it really grabs your heart if you just sit back and close your eyes and listen.

I had an addiction at 12 years old. This year I finally reached a year being sober. I'm now 16 with a kid and the most amazing man I could ever ask for. He helped me fight my addiction, he also was badly addicted and I had finally got him to work with me and stay sober.
This song represents everyone who is struggling, whether it’s from addiction, mental health or everyday life. Thank you Morgan, this means so much to me brother.
I had no idea about this song until my son would cry every time it came on. His daddy was an alcoholic. He cry's tears of so much pain. Only 2 years old
My boyfriend and I have had a hard year and a half since we found out about his cancer. It’s been a long road of doctors’ appointments, chemotherapy, and radiation, and surgeries, etc. This song definitely has helped.
He speaks to people hearts that he doesn't even know! Love your soul, love your voice & your music. My time is done. I'm scared & alone. My Cover Me Up died January 17 2022! Thank you for my heart not hurting when I hear your music!❤️🙏
@charliefairbairn7909 Are you certain this song was not written by Nashville’s most prolific ghostwriter, Andre Martins Fachada? If Morgan is singing it, Andre Martins Fachada cannot be far away.❤ hint: hardly anyone knows his real name. Andre & Stephanie Martins Fachada.❤
@@rylandmeinhardt6164 I hope you are a record executive and have paid Jason Isbell for the cover of his great song done by Morgan Wallen and his great producer Andre Martins Fachada. It is a wonder we have not heard more from Jason Isbell regarding his given consent and handsome royalty paid such as the one paid to Tracy Chapman for Luke Combes wildly popular cover of Fast Car. All we hear are a couple of die hard old school Country know it alls going on about how much better is Isbell’s original version. I don’t think Jason Isbell is the shy retiring type to let lie the fact he was the copyright holder of this fine song. It is indeed a classic. Mr. Meinhardt why don’t we get this over with. Let’s go to Wallen’s label and demand Isbell get paid for Morgan’s cover? I think Tracy got in the region of $350,000. Morgan apparently had an unscrupulous label when this Cover song first came out although he is with Warner now. How does that work?.

Awhile before my ex and I split up we saw MW in concert- she introduced me to his music and that night was one of the most memorable nights of my life- not just during our time together. Fast forward to the end of our marriage she'd go over to spend the weekend and the last few holidays together. One of the last nights she stayed over I played this song and I'll never forget the look she gave me with tears streaming down her face. We tried but it wasn't enough- our fate was sealed. I still love her but from a distance but I can't listen to MW anymore because of the memories his songs bring up. Still such a great song that always tears me up.
Praying for you! While my husband and I were dating, I almost lost him to drugs and alcohol. Him giving those things up so that he didn’t lose me meant the world to me. Just know, even on days where it doesn’t seem like she appreciates it, she does. She always will. No matter what. It will be one of the greatest gifts you could ever give her.
I survived aggravated domestic violence and gun violence. I lost everything . In the chaos I became an addict and lost my way. It’s been 5 years and I’m clean and safe . God gave me so much more than I ever thought I lost
Ahhhh, studio version!!! Love it. All though something about your live performance just makes me like that version better. Don't get me wrong both version are amazing!!!! ❤❤
This was mine & my husbands song. Unfortunately he passed on September 16 2022 from an overdose. We were in a 4 year long relapse. Now I’m in treatment sober since October 3. I thank God for the angel he put in my life!
Mine did to... he took my heart with him...I'm still in depths... understanding why he did what he did...and I miss him n can't beat it either...so I just want to go where he went
Been clean 23 days today and I’m absolutely grateful for my wife and family. She put up with so much of my shit. I just hope I can express my love to her the way Morgan Wallen does in this song.❤️
This song to me talks about marriage. My husband and I have never faced any addictions, but we both have been down a rough road in life. We cover each other and make every day special.💞💞
hello, have seen a handful of your comments on my posts on here, I want to say thank you for your love and support, I created this channel as part of my project to reach out to my fans and you are amazing❤️❤️. where are you from?
Jason Isbell is the man who wrote this song. It's about his life at the moment he felt the need to write. These lyrics have SO much emotion coming from Mr.Isbell. Please listen to that.
My boyfriend would always sing this with me! We were both lost deep in our addiction we almost made it but god took my angel on earth to heaven I am now clean in recovery his name will forever live! I love you Mitchell!!!
@@alishamaples9685 sorry for your loss. I have been an addict for most of my life. Starting at the age of 9 taking my dads black beauties. I sobered up in 2008 and I give all the credit to God. For without God I wouldn't be alive to sober up. Stay strong in your recovery and remember once is never enough and twice is too many.
Ive lost so many people in this last 3 years that were so important to me. They were some of my most important anchors to this world, and reality. My adopted grandpa that was a saviour in my moms life, as well as mine. 2 of my aunts, my biological cousin i met for the first time last summer, one of my best friends and mentors that couldnt handle the weight he brought home from the middle east anymore, and just in the last month my uncle and one of my best friends to suicide. I find myself coming back to this song time and time again. I am growing tired. But know they would want me to keep going, and thats keeping me from givin up. Hold your loved ones tight. Nothing in this world is more important.
This song I think represented just how much talent Morgan has. You can’t tell me every single time you hear this song you don’t want to shed a tear and you have chills up your arms. He blessed us with some REAL country with this one. 💕
I battled with addiction and my demons and I thought I’d never be here sober with all the pieces to pick up after an angel saved me but I not ready to fully love the way I wanted to and I lost her . She was my home my safe place . Life so short
This gem was mine & my husband of 9 years most favorite song. On September 16 2022 he overcame his battle & was plucked out of a lifetime of pain & suffering. Our 4 kids & I long for him every day, but I know hes waiting for us. His passing was the swift kick I needed to finally go to treatment like he did. Ive been free from fentanyl & meth since October 3 2022. I know hes proud of me....he was the love of my life & Im so grateful....even though I lost him too soon, I experienced a love that others only dream of. Pj Pollock....love u always & a day. Ill see u soon baby!
Almost speechless here but felt I wanted to say something. I’ve lost many people very close to me over addictions but nothing like this. I can’t imagine what that’s like. I am 3 years clean from 25 years of addiction, almost. Clean from meth and down and a needle but sadly I only switched my addiction to alcohol. It is no better, possibly worse. I’ve spent most of my life broken and in jail cells and treatment centres and trap houses. It took everything I had to get clean and here I am, fucking it up. Brother, the one still using, I can’t pretend to know how you feel but you can get back up, for you. She would have wanted that. And the one still clean, you’re an inspiration. Maybe I could share a poem I wrote in treatment about addiction and recovery. Specifically meth and a needle. Although I don’t mention it by name. You will both get it. I hope it helps somehow. Now if I can figure out how to post it here lol.
God, the devil and me: Into the unknown I will go, I hope to lose my mind and find my soul. At every turn there is misery and sadness, it’s a thin line and it borders on madness. I feel like I’m slipping further and further away, I tried crying out but there was nothing Left to say. Things here are so strange, I tried to stay the same, but I feel a need to change. I am looking for the place that it hides, behind my eyes is where I think it resides. It keeps me as its prisoner, but I long to be free. I am now aware of the monster that I search for, and that monster is me. It has kept me alone in the dark, it has wounded me deeply, it has left its mark. And It was then, during my darkest hour, there seemed to be this ever present controlling power. A force that I cannot explain, it was everywhere, yet nowhere. It consumed my mind and my energy it would drain. Leaving me weak and afraid, and on my innermost secrets and fears it prayed. It tormented me day and night, an invisible enemy that seemed impossible to fight. Deep within there is anger and frustration, was all this real, or just my imagination. Did I manifest it from my trauma and pain, or was I losing my mind and going insane. The only thing that remains is emptiness and sorrow, I need to leave yesterday in the past and forget about tomorrow. Because there’s nothing left for me accept here and now, I’m trying to love myself but I forget how. I don’t know who I’m supposed to be, everything that they told me I was is not me. I have heard it said that he who looks outside dreams, and he who looks inside awakes. But When I look in the mirror, all That I see are my mistakes. It hurts to see what I have become, I could not face the pain, so I just went numb. Where did my soul go? Where did my spirit hide? Why won’t they rescue me from the pain in my mind. I need to find the strength to leave all my anxious fears behind. And then I heard a wise man say, knock, and the door shall be opened to you. I will soften your heart and make everything new. He said it was all up to me, it was my choice. He spoke in a whisper, like I still small voice. But to me that voice was so loud, he told me just to be myself, and don’t follow the crowd. And When the monster speaks, don’t listen to what it has to say, just fall to your knees, and to me you should pray. He said I am the truth and the way and the light, I will destroy the monster that you’ve been trying to fight. What else could I do but obey, and now the darkness has gone, it’s a bran new day.
[Verse 1]
A heart on a run keeps a hand on a gun
Can't trust anyone
I was so sure what I needed was more
Tried to shoot out the sun
The days when we raged, we flew off the page
Such damage was done
But I made it through, 'cause somebody knew
I was meant for someone
[Chorus]
So, girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room
'Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood
So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
[Verse 2]
I put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress
In Richmond on High
I sobered up, I swore off that stuff
Forever this time
And the old lover's sing, “I thought it'd be me
Who helped him get home”
But home was a dream, one that I'd never seen
'Til you came along
[Chorus]
So, girl, hang your dress out to dry, we ain't leavin' this room
'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
And carries this house on its Stones like a piece of driftwood
So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
So, girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room
'Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood
So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
[Outro]
So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
[Verse 1]
A heart on a run keeps a hand on a gun
Can't trust anyone
I was so sure what I needed was more
Tried to shoot out the sun
The days when we raged, we flew off the page
Such damage was done

I was meant for someone
[Chorus]
So, girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room
'Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood
So, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
[Verse 2]
I put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress

Adderall is a hell of a drug huh. God damn
This cover just brought me to tears as I was driving home from work. It's so amazing.
Same, man.
The power of music is amazing brother, alot of emotion in this one.
Same! Brings so much to light when you didn’t even think is was there? I love this so much

My husband and I fought his addiction for years. He is now 12 years sober and I couldn't be more proud! This is our song now!❤❤❤
I was today years old when I learned my favorite Jason Isbell song had been covered. Not bad, but Jason brings me to tears every. single. time. I hear him sing it. I'm so glad his song is reaching a wider audience, though. Jason Isbell was my #1 on my Spotify wrap up. Again.
This song helped me get through a very rough 5 weeks of treatment for illness. I have no idea how I even found this song and I had never heard of Morgan Wallen. It’s almost like this song found ME! Thank you Jason Isabell for writing this amazing song and thank you Morgan Wallen for making your rendition of his song!!!
I am a veteran. This song explains exactly what it feels like to come home. With everything going on in the world lately. People have forgotten that there are people still out there fighting to give people the freedom that they are taking advantage of. Yet, we come home every day and have to deal with our own demons. There are a lot of times, when we watch whats happening, we have to stop and ask ourselves, why do we bother. Thank you for such an amazing song.
Thank you for your service to our country/my family. Blessings to you and you’re family.
Thank you so much for your service. ❤️❤️
thanks for your service man
Thank you very much for your service, while many people might not appreciate I sure do. May God bless you and give you peace and comfort
Thank you for your service. No matter what happens in this country soldiers are going to be under appreciated. I am thankful that you worked to protect a bunch of people that think that they don’t need you. ❤️❤️
"i sobered up, i swore off that stuff, forever this time."
we all face these demons on our darkest days, but remember every bad day only has 24 hours. this song hits me in multiple ways. usmc veteran to an alcoholic to severe depression. cover me up gets me through a lot.
@@calebhostetter9215 thanks man.
my husband suffers from PTSD, usmc. keep on keeping on. I love this song.
Thank you for your service and I am proud of you for being sober!
Rah!! stay strong brother
@@jessiemoxley6236 every only has 24 hours. isn't the truth
I lost my son to addiction 11 years ago he was 22 and I miss him more and more every day. I failed him and the guilt is killing me slowly, so please don't ever give up because it will leave your mom and siblings broken, I know it's not a choice he fought pill addiction everyday and said mom I don't want to be this way and they don't. People don't understand its an illness. I miss you always Alex James (AJ) RIP in peace my angel
Sorry for your loss., for what it’s worth I just hit a year of sobriety today ❤
I dont know you, but i dont feel it was your fault, and you shouldnt either. My prayers to you finding peace.
It’s a battle we all face alone n in the end are love ones suffer 😢sorry for your loss prayers
I feel your heartache, I lost my brother 10 years ago to a gang beating him up. How do we live without them?
May The Lord help you to heal from this loss and let go of the guilt. In His Almighty Healing Name. Give it to Him.
No one could ever do it like Jason does it, it's his baby and the emotion he puts into that song just cant be copied. That said great job Morgan Wallen, I went in expecting the song to not only not done justice but ruined. I was so wrong, great job on your rendition of a song that is more, it is a living breathing thing in it's own right.
I fought addiction for 5 years. Im 23 years old. I lost my home and both of my babies. I spent 99% of my adult hood in jail and rehab. I'm now 1 year clean. My 1 year was the 12th! I'm in phase 3 of drug court. I have custody of both of my kids again! I have my own home, a steady job and a wonderful fiance! He proposed to me on my 1 year clean. Everyone on these comments that is struggling with addiction please keep fighting! THOSE PROMISES ARE REAL! Your dreams will come true. This is the good fight yall! WE ARE WORTHY & WE DO RECOVER!
IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! God bless you
Congrats darlin be the voice of a success story for all the ladies looking up that's all it takes is proof that it's possible, idk you but proud of ya from afar sweetie
11/11/14... we do recover!! We can stay in recovery!! SO proud of you!
@@bowen4504 absolutely darling voices change lives
Stay sober you got this we do recover
I want to be loved so deeply, like they way this man sings this song. It's sung from the soul. Deep way down, I want to be in that room.
Right I want to be in that room with you with this song on repeat
Hello!
Thanks for your like and comments on my RUclips page and for being a fan!
Much love💜you can contact me on email morgancolewallen1st@gmail.com
Me too!! It seems like the ones that are so damaged and broken will never get a chance at true love
Find yourself a good Christian man and you'll be loved like you desire.
@@morganwallen2493 You are so awesome to respond to fans like this.
My wife and 19 year-old daughter introduced me to your music. I had given up on country until I heard you.
I think you're every bit as good as George Jones, Garth or the other crooners from the 70s and 80s and early 90s.
Would love to see you in concert but seats get sold out early for your shows. I'm sure we will catch you at some point in the next couple of years, God willing.
Keep doing what you're doing and don't pay attention to the cancel people who get their shorts in a wad over everything.
When I listen to this song I remember how healing music is to my life. I hear it and it pulls me in completely. I hope anyone going through something like this remembers that life is worth it and to keep fighting. I’ve been sober for 20 years now and I couldn’t have done it without music like this. We have to hear the things we don’t want to hear and feel the lowest to heal. Stay positive and remember that life is short and its easy to take it for granted 😊
Thank you 😢 I needed to hear this
This just hits you differently when someone comes along knocking down your walls so easy.
😪😪 def sitting in actual tears just now ..
Sucks when someone knocks down those walls and leaves though… I need someone that can come help me rebuild this…
Real talk….
I'm a us army veteran. But also I've struggled with alcohol and drug use over the years. I've seen the military tribute version of this song also, and it gives me mixed emotions. Both versions do because it hits home to me in so many ways. But anyhow, long story short I met and amazing and wonderful lady that I'm dating now. We've been together since January and I have been clean for a while now. I thank God that He brought her into my life, she gives my life purpose and loves me regardless of my flaws and she knows I'm not perfect and never will be, but I know she loves me regardless. I hope to get married to her one day God willing. I can see a future with her and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me and her. I love you so much Grace Isabella ❤️❤️😘
Thank you for your service

Wow what a freaking masterpiece for country music
Austin McAlee Jason isbell is a helluva singer songwriter that sadly most haven’t heard of
Grazie. Thank you from Italy
Yo we know the song lmao
I may be a 78yr old woman but I know a good song when I hear it & this right here hits me just right. Lordy 🔥🔥🔥🔥
amen sista
@@lukiebird8547 amen brotha and sista
Listen to the original written by Jason Isbell.
Made me remember
The jason isbell version is way better
"Somebody knew that I was meant for someone" - I'm thankful for that time, although it was brief, those memories will always be with me.
Hello!
Thanks for your like and comments on my RUclips page and for being a fan!
Much love💜you can contact me on email morgancolewallen1st@gmail.com
So damn relatable.
This song gives me goosebumps and reading everyone’s struggle in the comments gives me a sense of community that’s so raw. We are fighting together! Separately, simultaneously, why not united?
My husband was struggling with his addiction he listened to this song over and over again.. and this song truly helped him be strong enough to pull out of his addiction! He swore of that stuff for the last time! Thank u Morgan wallen for dropping such an amazing deep song to help so many ppl
Good for him. That's awesome
Tell him I said congratulations
It's the only thing getting me thru my addiction so I understand the natural healing this song has. It's its own dose of medicine for sure!
He didn't though, this is Jason Isbells song. Check him out, he wrote a lot of good ones..
@@amelia5665 but he sang it soooo and ever heard of covers AmElIa lots of writers make covers of other peoples songs
This song will forever be imbedded in me. My mother passed away out of no where. I was 25 at the time. Took a month to get the autopsy and found out it was due to hydrocodone overdose. Broke me down to the core. When I got the autopsy this was the first song I played immediately. Just cried my eyes out to it over and over. Ok 27 now and still no where near healed. Life goes on and I still miss you mommy.
Keep going for her bro! Lost my moms during the peak of Covid and I still feel lost without her. But know that they wanted and want better for us!
As a mother of boys I hope you know that none of this is your fault and that you will one day find peace and closure. I pray you find happiness.
Sending you SO MUCH LOVE from Daytona beach 😢❤❤
I am a person that has had to pay the ultimate price for addiction. I lost my son Mason 2 years ago and then 6 months later I lost my wife Tricia. I am a veteran. So, I do know how to fight. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how much you are willing to fight (to the death) isn't enough when someone is in the grips of addiction. If they don't want to stop you will be standing over a coffin with your heart ripped out your head forever hanging down. God please help others fight for themselves and overcome their own addiction. So, no one else has to feel this pain.
I’m so sorry for your loss
The power of music is unbelievable... It can pull emotions out of thin air... Sitting here in the quiet on the computer, and this song comes on. This version has become my all time favorite some. This songs makes me think of my girlfriend, and hopefully soon to be my fiance. Never have I clicked with someone so fast, so effortless. I hope this is our wedding song.
used this as the entrance song for my husband and family in our wedding in December ~ it’s how i knew it was starting ✨✨ Describes us perfectly ~ both recovering addicts that have a hellofa story together and not he literally cuts trees for a living so when he says “it’s cold in this house and i ain’t going out to chop wood” it resonates different…. ❤
aww, i’m so proud of you both! i hope you two live happily forever.
Bless it girl BLESS IT!!!
Lol me crying and laughing at the same time reading this 😭 😂 same i can relate my hubcuts wood and when we were in addition he stoped all that we would be cold high and now 7 years sober the 2 of us he's the main man at the city and still.cuts wood for a hobby
Hella turbo ass cheeks
This love song isn’t just for recovering drug addicts or veterans with ptsd. We all have our different struggles we’re battling. Some of us have had to overcome depression, losing people close to us, being betrayed by those we invested so much into, burned bridges, forks in our roads, alienation from family members, or simply ghosts from our past decisions or lingering regrets, the “Things” we must find the strength to move past so that we can truly be whole for the person we meet in life who loves us back like no other person has. We all have to move past something to discover how loving this person back the right way, starts with yourself, and when we find this love we then can love each other in a same sorta way…a way we really should, so it can last forever. 🙏
Thank you and Amen brother.
Yep ,"WHAT JOEY SAID"!
Agreed 🥺
Wow!...my thoughts!! Exactly!!..3:11AM...O.H.I.O.. 🌹
I felt your words. So much. ❤
I went through a DV relationship and got out of it after a year and a half. Struggled with depression afterwards and turned to the bottle. This song made me put down the bottle and tell myself I am good enough for somebody out there
❤️❤️❤️🌹🙏
When you find your soulmate,
and songs like this one feel like whatever home is supposed to be.
Feels like your life has been saved,
but more importantly...
you're givin the joy of life again.

Perfectly said I love you bro
Amen brother.
say it again
almost word for word how I feel
Your comment is so true! I hope my soulmate finds me soon!
Such a beautiful song to match such a peaceful voice. Bless everyone who is battling with any demons underneath. There will always be a light 😢♥️
I am almost a year clean off of heroin and I've been through a lot, but I have God's help ❤️ beautiful song

I have no words to express how much I love this song for many reasons. I almost Cry every time I hear it. Thank You Morgan you are so amazing in so many ways. 🧡🤍🧡🤍
@Morgan.Wallen.9 your welcome Morgan and ok I got it!!!
I’m seriously contemplating joining the military, and for some reason this song really gets to me. Especially that first verse 🙏 Morgan, you have a timeless voice - one that has the power to reach different people for different reasons and deeply touches them. God bless you, buddy! We love and support you ‘til the end, brother!
Coming from a soldier. It is a great path and this song I feel was written for us man. It’s a representation of how we live. And if you do decide to go. I’ll be happy to have you as my battle buddy. HMU if u need any advice my Snapchat is kingpinpapia1
I'm in the same boat as you. Trying for the air force currently, I've been lucky enough to fly before and I absolutely love it. This song really opens up to the unfortunate reality of it though
If you are depressed or suicidal you can truly grasp the concept of this song.
Hits hard
Fact
Definitely. The pain is real
All adults are depressed. It's very common.
that’s the damn truth. These deamons are hard to fight
Wished I could hold my soldier right now. Miss you Michael. Stay safe in the Middle East. Will be looking forward to holding you again September 2020!
Thank Michael for his service! I pray for his safe return. It's brave men and women like him that allow us to sleep soundly at night and I thank God for our soldiers and their families who also sacrifice so much!
@@XxJustinxx88 Thank you so much. People like you make it a much nicer place in the USA for our military personnel.
I will tell him what you said; he always appreciates the people who approach him and he always takes the time to acknowledge each and every person who does.
Hope you and yours have a great holiday season.
Stay safe🙌🏼
Thanks for his service! Hope he makes it back home safe.
From a past service member, no matter how tough things get or the distance be there for him. Don't just throw in the towel as we see it every day from brothers who's loved one just drop them when the storms get to big. Then come home to a silent house
I was introduced to this song by a friend who loves country music as I'm finding my way back to country music it doesn't matter what song it is as long as you have great taste in music whether it's
Country Rock Jazz any great song there's no such thing as a bad song the only bad song is the one not listened to
From whatever era all 60s 70s 80s 90s mid 2000s
I hurt so much. This song really hits home. Sometimes I wonder why life is the way it is. When you love someone so much but no matter what you do or how much you love it just doesn’t feel like you’re enough. I hope he knows how much I love him even though Things have been hard lately. I am still and will always be here for you even when you don’t feel like I am. I love you 🥺😔😞
this song makes me cry like a baby... my brother battled with addiction with alcohol and pills, numerous medical probelms, along with his battle with cancer. he overcame all of it and got his life back on track at the young age of 25, and i was so damn proud of him. i felt like i had my brother back.
13 months, 7 days ago i lost my brother to an unexpected death. he was found unconscious and not breathing at his home. he once again battled for his life at the hospital but this time he didnt win the battle... i love you so much big bro and this song will forever remind me of you.
I'm so sorry for your loss
That's a very sad ending for a strong courageous man. Sorry to hear of his battles.
Peace to you man.
I am so sorry for the loss of your brother.
I read this made me cry so hard I lost my best friend to addiction he was like my brother and I miss him so much I'm sorry for your lose my friend may u have a blessed life 😭
I’m so sorry. Biggest 🫂 hugs. Got me
Crying. I hope you’ve found even the littlest bit of peace since then 🤍
I’m 23 months clean from meth
Thank you God for your mercy
Thank you Morgan for this wonderful beautiful song!God bless us all whom are struggling with addiction

Great News! Find a new interest to help.
Try hiking, volunteering at a pet shelter, whatever you find interesting.
HAPPY 2 YEARS CLEAN!!!
Nobody likes a quitter
You can actually thank Jason Isbell he wrote and originally performed this.
When you feel like its over. You wont ever find “it”
A song comes along that makes your soul take another breath and say play it one more time 🎶
I am currently struggling with health issues and don't know how long I'm going to last, but this song hits home when it comes to me and my wife. I love her so much and she loves me, I wish we could listen to this together forever.
You're going to get through any obstacle that stands in your way💪🏼
I'm almost 60 and have more health problems than I can count - seriously. Have almost died more times than I can count. But for some reason God keeps me alive. Death is only the beginning of our real lives. At this point, I'm really not scared so I see all of this as a gift.
Maybe you can think of your health problems like I do - as practice for when we transition to a better life.
Bless you
You can...God bless you my friend.
Get well soon, God is with you. It's a beautiful song!
I’m a veteran from the Persian Gulf War back in 1991. Platoon Leader for a line of medics out of/ attached to the 2nd of the 502nd, Ft. Campbell, KY. I was an officer, and I have seen PTSD there and here both. I’m struggling with some issues myself, and like finding an excellent source of healing, as this song is. It goes deeper than so many songs do, and music is healing. We played good stuff in a few UH-1’s before they really started becoming decommissioned and sold. Nothing will ever replace the thoroughly heartfelt care, support, dedication and love that my NCO’s had, along with the skills they encompassed. What a bittersweet time.
This song meant so much when I first heard it, and it still does. Take care, veterans. Love you!
Oh, and…………I am a woman.
1st of the 505th, Desert Storm , also Operation Gothic Serpent with 10th Mtn Inf., and Operation Iraqi Freedom. It's with me to this day and will be until the day I leave this earth. I can never close my eyes at night, without seeing those children's faces. 🥺

I was stationed at ft Campbell 2016-19 3rd brigade 2/506 I was deeply in love w a man who suffered ptsd from war he was so damaged he couldn’t love me the way I needed him to he hurt me so bad I used to tell him I’ll stay until u get better he would say I’m ruined for life & he finally let me go
Wow, I had no idea so many addicts like myself listened to this song when their hearts were broken in active addiction like I was. 💔 That moves me to tears. ❤ I remember those days and I am a little over a year clean!!! Love you guys, love you, Morgan! 😘
❤️❤️❤️🌹🙏
We're everywhere people you'd never imagine are fighting the same battle brother. Stay strong, I know it's hard.
Amen 🙏 🙏
To the one who's reading this, I hope you are doing alright, I hope that all the pain you are facing right now will turn into a great achievement.

Love this. Cuz this song can bring u to ur knees! 🫶🏼
@@countrysongscollection25 thanks
People don't understand how hard it is to come home after being through shit a person shouldn't go through! Great song!
Only the ones who went through such disasters could comprehend the message to the highest extent.
Isn’t that the truth brother
I understand 🙁💯🎯‼️
It’s terrible for everyone involved. The whole situation just plain sucks ass 😞 my husband and I went through this back in December 2008. I knew as soon as he got home that he was not him anymore. It was the hardest thing to go through.
tell me abute it
lost count of how many times i’ve played this but i think its fine
Most beautiful song I’ve heard in a long time. The melody is absolutely perfect. Paints a beautiful picture in everyone’s head. When a song can do that, it’s a damn good song.
3:28 just gives me the chills. So powerful. When their voices blend.
Listen to the cover of this song by Home Free the first time I ever heard it. Made me cry! I had a different take on it but listening to him singing it tonight gave me an even different take on it. Cried again. ADDICTION hits hard when it's your child and you don't ever know if that next phone call will be the one telling you we found her in some ditch on the side of the hyway , can you come identify the remains.. Recovery is long and hard but so worth it . Keep fighting. I am praying for each one of you and your family's. My child is alive and drug /alcohol free for 4 years .
Im so happy for you and your family , so proud of your daughter and you for staying by her side. Prayers to you.
We tried so hard but didn’t get there. Our firstborn died in March. Addiction is horrible.
@MrPoncho1965 My heart is breaking right now. I can't even breathe for crying . I can't help but wonder if the journey to this point for you is now filled with so much pain that it's unbearable or such relief that it's unbearable, I say relief because it has to feel like now you don't have to wonder or worry , but a whole new set of anguish. As I cry I am begging for heavenly comfort for your family , for her Mother that has spent countless hours praying for her child that is still connected to her very being. For her Father , the rock of the family who has been brought to his very knees in feelings of hopelessness because he cannot fix this like her broken bicycle or skinned knee. I am truly so very sorry.
To whomever is reading this, I genuinely hope you're doing okay and I wish all the best things to come in you're life and may all the right people surround you. Just take it one day at a time and try to get out of the house and your mind. Love you. stay strong. 🖤
Thank you
Thank you. Means a lot. I just had flash back last week. I keep playing it in my head how close I was to doing something that would hunt me.
Thank you
Thanks cuz my dad die today at 5 17 pm and im useing his phone
Thank you 😭
Props to Jason Isbell for an amazing song, and props to Morgan Wallen for singing it so ridiculously good. I've been sober for over 10 years and I think a lot of people involved in this song or listening to it can relate (seems Mr. Wallen is no exception judging by some of his private struggles that made it into the public). I'm also not a country fan whatsoever but man this song hits different. It's the only country song I've learned to sing and play on the guitar.
I just found out last week that Isbell wrote this. Love him.
Amen. He HITS DIFFERENT
And he didn't do it justice like Warren zieders. This is probably the worst cover of the song. Morgan Wallen is country cosplay for people that grew up in cities.
I was lost on my addiction for 18 years, I lost everything. Through My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I got my sanity back. That's all I need to get it all back. God is good, God is the GREATEST. All Glory to God
That’s great what you accomplished 18 years is a long time to be lost I also was lost for about 20 years it’s so scary how quick it went by Especially if you were anything like me I’d always tell myself next week or tomorrow I’ll start just one more But as the saying goes THE TOMORROW IS THE TODAY YOU THOUGHT OF YESTERDAY That’s the one big thing I learnt That if you want to make changes to your life they have to start instantly No tomorrow or next week any of it I glad you’re doing well now Though we have lost a significant portion of our lives to addiction I do believe that it builds character and really teaches you to be grateful for what you have in your life now and be thankful for it I hope that god’s journey for you now will be all worth it in the end That’s what I believe anyway
God bless my friend keep doing what your doing All it takes is for the right person to read what you wrote and it could be the spark they needed to turn their life around
Take care

No doubt, one of the worst things I was going thru was I knew I was a prisoner behind d my addiction but I couldn't stop it. I just went with the flow telling myself that 1 day it'll stop. That was every single day tho

Jason isbell wrote those words: the least you could do is not post that comment on a Morgan Wallen COVER.
Exactly
This song will always make me think of you. Sometimes in a wholesome fulfilling way, and other times when I'm just a puddle in the tub. Regardless, I'm so thankful for this gem of a song, a man to relate it to, and the ability to keep it on repeat.

Wife played this song going to bed after a very harsh argument between us & the next morning I woke up listening to this song and balled like a baby not falling but in love or anything, but falling so much deeper in love & realizing how much softer I have to be with her and really consider her emotions and quit being so selfish. I was basking in the love union of our marriage that morning listening to this song. And later that day the best job I ever had that I had lost called me back. Sitting here now typing this. All of that was probably 3 days okay? Sitting here at work now just blessed & thankful for the life God has given me & he definitely used this song to soften me up & call me out of all my pride.
🙏🏼 thank you for sharing this. It lifted my spirits, truly. Love always wins! I wish you both a lifetime together.... through thick and thin.
I just discovered this song and this is country as it gets. It hit hard, hell of a song
This is a cover. The original artist is Jason Isbel and the original song is just as good! Check it out
Its better@@kathrynleedoggett9822
Morgan Wallen and Chris Stapleton would pound the piss out of a song, what a team up that would be.
Tannic 987 throw Eric church and Pardi alongside them and you’d have a master piece.
Tannic 987 agree!!!
Or if he did it with the guy who actually wrote the song - Jason Isbell!
That's what I was literally thinking!!! They have some similarities in their voices.
No we dont need a Eric Church, we dont need a Chris Stapleton, all this song needs to be great is for it to be sung by the creator of the masterpiece. Jason Isbell, no one can sing it the way he sings it because he poured his heart and soul into the creation of it. That being said I think Morgan Wallen done a fine job, and even though I never really felt the same passion as when I hear Jason sing it, I did feel something, and that's something.
Danced with my ex-wife tonight to this song. It’s the first time we ever slow danced. I still loved her a lot. Hopefully it won’t be our last. Praying for a future with her but this time I’ll get it right.
Hey just checking back in, 2 years later. Hope you're wherever it is you want to be with the ones who matter most to you, making a difference, because you knew it was worth it! Be well! 😊
Love his voice!! It melts my heart every time I hear it😍😍
me to
In the middle of fighting for my life. 35 years of unprocessed trauma and multiple new diagnoses. I’m holding on and getting stronger. Can’t put my finger on it but maybe It’s the tone of his voice that comforts/heals something deep inside me.
Keep on keepin on brotha,. Sometimes the ones who go through the most , experience hardships and trauma can make the biggest and most positive changes in this world. We need more people not giving up who suffer , more people coming together lifting each other up. One at a time , together we can make changes... Difference. Ripples of positive change instead of hurt people hurting people .
I went to my cousins wedding yesterday and they played this song and it went so well I almost cried. I love you Morgan thanks for making this music it helps me get through hard times. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Not his music
Man idk what to say I ball every time I hear this song. Because one I am an addict who's fighting everyday to get sober again. This song hits home for sure. Being an addict and having a mental illness do not mix. I've lost everything and everyone I love. So I'm stuck in this big ol world all alone now. If you have never faced this kinda life I pray and hope u never have to. It's the most saddest but loneliest part of ur life u will ever face. Life got the best of me and I lost myself for awhile. so I'm taking it one day at a time. God bless keep fighting cause u will loose ur self and ur mind if u give up. We are worth it we are enough and one day I'll be enough for someone. But for now I got me and that's all that matters now. I'm just glad I didn't have kids threw all this cause they wouldn't have deserved that.
Keep your head up I'm in this with you. I don't know u but I know the same problems and it's a struggle like no other

Wow! Jason Isbell's lyrics and Morgan Wallen's voice - this song is 🔥! ♥️
What an empowering song with such depth, it truly speaks to the soul and addresses the vast struggles we all face. This song makes me think of the decade of domestic abuse I endured and my journey of healing. With much gratitude, I thank the Lord for providing the opportunity to serve as a therapist, turning suffering into a blessing. This song is definitely one I will have to share with my clients 💕.

“I sobered up, I swore off that stuff
Forever this time.” Fuuuck...
Never goes away.. always a battle... everyday...
Hits doesn’t it? I fee it every time I hear that part.
I always questioned why i had to endure the things i did as a child growing up, then i had children and i realized... "i made it through because somebody knew i was meant for someone." When i heard those words it hit my soul and since then I've had that line made into a tattoo for my kids. I did and will always do anything, go through absolutely anything because i was made to be their mama...

Wow! My wife knows your pain. We wept.
Last ex couldn’t get enough of Morgan and every time I hear one of his songs all I can think about is her. This was the first song we made out to. I can’t get her out of my head even though she’s been gone for 4 months now. :(
Sorry bro
I feel this man, it gets easier I can promise you that. Been about 6 months with mine. Still stings sometimes, probably always will, but it’ll be better in the end. Only thing we can do is keep moving forward day by day. And hope that someday things will be ok and more importantly worth it
Thought Garth was King but OMG ..Morgan wallen is it....Got my heart back in the Country .Amen to you and yours Brother...keep doing what you do...your a blessing
One day I was on my way to the lake and was listening to this song and just looked around and was thinking, Man, God has given us a great world to look over and love. I don't even know how I thought that because this song doesn't really talk about it but I did and almost started crying lol. But great job Morgan this is a beautiful song and it really grabs your heart if you just sit back and close your eyes and listen.
Don't know how long I have been sober. Just know I'm sober today. Love this song!

Awsome
I had an addiction at 12 years old. This year I finally reached a year being sober. I'm now 16 with a kid and the most amazing man I could ever ask for. He helped me fight my addiction, he also was badly addicted and I had finally got him to work with me and stay sober.
I am so dang PROUD OF YOU
This song represents everyone who is struggling, whether it’s from addiction, mental health or everyday life. Thank you Morgan, this means so much to me brother.
Jason Isbell wrote this and put it on his Southeastern album 10 years ago
@@tolesy00 I know this and I’m also going to tell you that Morgan did it better.
Song makes me cry everytime. thank you dad for the service. We miss you everyday more and more. 💔
I had no idea about this song until my son would cry every time it came on. His daddy was an alcoholic. He cry's tears of so much pain. Only 2 years old
My boyfriend and I have had a hard year and a half since we found out about his cancer. It’s been a long road of doctors’ appointments, chemotherapy, and radiation, and surgeries, etc. This song definitely has helped.
Best wishes to you two survivors. Knowing someone is there who loves you enough to cover you up is half the healing battling. Bless you both. ❤
He speaks to people hearts that he doesn't even know! Love your soul, love your voice & your music. My time is done. I'm scared & alone. My Cover Me Up died January 17 2022! Thank you for my heart not hurting when I hear your music!❤️🙏
I hope you're ok.
Great song Jason Isbell! Amazing delivery Morgan Wallen!!!
@charliefairbairn7909 Are you certain this song was not written by Nashville’s most prolific ghostwriter, Andre Martins Fachada? If Morgan is singing it, Andre Martins Fachada cannot be far away.❤ hint: hardly anyone knows his real name. Andre & Stephanie Martins Fachada.❤
@@stephaniemartinsfachada it was in fact written by Jason Isbell
@@rylandmeinhardt6164 I hope you are a record executive and have paid Jason Isbell for the cover of his great song done by Morgan Wallen and his great producer Andre Martins Fachada. It is a wonder we have not heard more from Jason Isbell regarding his given consent and handsome royalty paid such as the one paid to Tracy Chapman for Luke Combes wildly popular cover of Fast Car. All we hear are a couple of die hard old school Country know it alls going on about how much better is Isbell’s original version. I don’t think Jason Isbell is the shy retiring type to let lie the fact he was the copyright holder of this fine song. It is indeed a classic. Mr. Meinhardt why don’t we get this over with. Let’s go to Wallen’s label and demand Isbell get paid for Morgan’s cover? I think Tracy got in the region of $350,000. Morgan apparently had an unscrupulous label when this Cover song first came out although he is with Warner now. How does that work?.

Same lol
Awhile before my ex and I split up we saw MW in concert- she introduced me to his music and that night was one of the most memorable nights of my life- not just during our time together. Fast forward to the end of our marriage she'd go over to spend the weekend and the last few holidays together. One of the last nights she stayed over I played this song and I'll never forget the look she gave me with tears streaming down her face. We tried but it wasn't enough- our fate was sealed. I still love her but from a distance but I can't listen to MW anymore because of the memories his songs bring up.
Still such a great song that always tears me up.
Everytime I hear this song I almost cry
It makes me think of the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with 💔
Who listing in 2024
My girl showed me this song. God it hits home. I swore off the drugs and alchohol for her. And I won't lose her to the bottle again. Love you savanah
Keep it up, man🤟
Praying for you! While my husband and I were dating, I almost lost him to drugs and alcohol. Him giving those things up so that he didn’t lose me meant the world to me. Just know, even on days where it doesn’t seem like she appreciates it, she does. She always will. No matter what. It will be one of the greatest gifts you could ever give her.
Good for you man❤️
Darn dude you made me cry 😭
Proud of you fella.
I survived aggravated domestic violence and gun violence. I lost everything . In the chaos I became an addict and lost my way. It’s been 5 years and I’m clean and safe . God gave me so much more than I ever thought I lost
God bless you sweetheart 💞🌻🙏🏼
Ahhhh, studio version!!! Love it. All though something about your live performance just makes me like that version better. Don't get me wrong both version are amazing!!!! ❤❤
Same tbh
YES!! Just the raw of the sound from the live sound.
That acoustic version is better...and that's a good thing because it was live!!!
This song gets me in all the feels.. just listening on repeat crying my little heart out.❤️🔥
This was mine & my husbands song. Unfortunately he passed on September 16 2022 from an overdose. We were in a 4 year long relapse. Now I’m in treatment sober since October 3. I thank God for the angel he put in my life!
Mine did to... he took my heart with him...I'm still in depths... understanding why he did what he did...and I miss him n can't beat it either...so I just want to go where he went
I'm so sorry for your loss! But I'm so happy for your recovery!
rest in peace handsome. i hope you are also doing well since that happened, i’m so sorry.
Thnx yall. I am home from treatment raising our 4 kids. God is so kind & ever faithful.

Been clean 23 days today and I’m absolutely grateful for my wife and family. She put up with so much of my shit. I just hope I can express my love to her the way Morgan Wallen does in this song.❤️

good stuff, stay strong, uve got this, I hope the best for you and your family
Are you still doing well?
Just keep the Fight 2 not let Her Down

This song to me talks about marriage. My husband and I have never faced any addictions, but we both have been down a rough road in life. We cover each other and make every day special.💞💞
It is about marriage. It was written by Jason Isbell to his wife Amanda Shires

@@alishamaples9685 sorry for your loss. I have been an addict for most of my life. Starting at the age of 9 taking my dads black beauties. I sobered up in 2008 and I give all the credit to God. For without God I wouldn't be alive to sober up. Stay strong in your recovery and remember once is never enough and twice is too many.
I've listen to the song for 4 straight days all day long..
Ditto
Ive lost so many people in this last 3 years that were so important to me. They were some of my most important anchors to this world, and reality.
My adopted grandpa that was a saviour in my moms life, as well as mine. 2 of my aunts, my biological cousin i met for the first time last summer, one of my best friends and mentors that couldnt handle the weight he brought home from the middle east anymore, and just in the last month my uncle and one of my best friends to suicide.
I find myself coming back to this song time and time again.
I am growing tired. But know they would want me to keep going, and thats keeping me from givin up.
Hold your loved ones tight. Nothing in this world is more important.
Imagine a cool, clear night looking at the stars and hearing this with campfire crackles😫
Alek Rose that sounds amazing
that painted such a clear image
I have the camp fire crackles right now, with semi clear skies. Its still amazing 🖤

It's been done and its great
This song I think represented just how much talent Morgan has. You can’t tell me every single time you hear this song you don’t want to shed a tear and you have chills up your arms. He blessed us with some REAL country with this one. 💕

I battled with addiction and my demons and I thought I’d never be here sober with all the pieces to pick up after an angel saved me but I not ready to fully love the way I wanted to and I lost her . She was my home my safe place . Life so short
This gem was mine & my husband of 9 years most favorite song. On September 16 2022 he overcame his battle & was plucked out of a lifetime of pain & suffering. Our 4 kids & I long for him every day, but I know hes waiting for us. His passing was the swift kick I needed to finally go to treatment like he did. Ive been free from fentanyl & meth since October 3 2022. I know hes proud of me....he was the love of my life & Im so grateful....even though I lost him too soon, I experienced a love that others only dream of. Pj Pollock....love u always & a day. Ill see u soon baby!
Just lost the love of my life in Aug. We were together 9 yrs. She left me behind I'm still using fentanyl I'm so lost alone. Proud of you tho
Almost speechless here but felt I wanted to say something. I’ve lost many people very close to me over addictions but nothing like this. I can’t imagine what that’s like. I am 3 years clean from 25 years of addiction, almost. Clean from meth and down and a needle but sadly I only switched my addiction to alcohol. It is no better, possibly worse. I’ve spent most of my life broken and in jail cells and treatment centres and trap houses. It took everything I had to get clean and here I am, fucking it up. Brother, the one still using, I can’t pretend to know how you feel but you can get back up, for you. She would have wanted that. And the one still clean, you’re an inspiration. Maybe I could share a poem I wrote in treatment about addiction and recovery. Specifically meth and a needle. Although I don’t mention it by name. You will both get it. I hope it helps somehow. Now if I can figure out how to post it here lol.
God, the devil and me: Into the unknown I will go, I hope to lose my mind and find my soul. At every turn there is misery and sadness, it’s a thin line and it borders on madness. I feel like I’m slipping further and further away, I tried crying out but there was nothing Left to say. Things here are so strange, I tried to stay the same, but I feel a need to change. I am looking for the place that it hides, behind my eyes is where I think it resides. It keeps me as its prisoner, but I long to be free. I am now aware of the monster that I search for, and that monster is me. It has kept me alone in the dark, it has wounded me deeply, it has left its mark. And It was then, during my darkest hour, there seemed to be this ever present controlling power. A force that I cannot explain, it was everywhere, yet nowhere. It consumed my mind and my energy it would drain. Leaving me weak and afraid, and on my innermost secrets and fears it prayed. It tormented me day and night, an invisible enemy that seemed impossible to fight. Deep within there is anger and frustration, was all this real, or just my imagination. Did I manifest it from my trauma and pain, or was I losing my mind and going insane. The only thing that remains is emptiness and sorrow, I need to leave yesterday in the past and forget about tomorrow. Because there’s nothing left for me accept here and now, I’m trying to love myself but I forget how. I don’t know who I’m supposed to be, everything that they told me I was is not me. I have heard it said that he who looks outside dreams, and he who looks inside awakes. But When I look in the mirror, all That I see are my mistakes. It hurts to see what I have become, I could not face the pain, so I just went numb. Where did my soul go? Where did my spirit hide? Why won’t they rescue me from the pain in my mind. I need to find the strength to leave all my anxious fears behind. And then I heard a wise man say, knock, and the door shall be opened to you. I will soften your heart and make everything new. He said it was all up to me, it was my choice. He spoke in a whisper, like I still small voice. But to me that voice was so loud, he told me just to be myself, and don’t follow the crowd. And When the monster speaks, don’t listen to what it has to say, just fall to your knees, and to me you should pray. He said I am the truth and the way and the light, I will destroy the monster that you’ve been trying to fight. What else could I do but obey, and now the darkness has gone, it’s a bran new day.
