I just got sober just under 3 months ago, and a month into my sober time was my 24th birthday, if I would’ve kept onto that bender for that whole month beforehand I wouldn’t have made it past 23. I’m so grateful, and I love country but never heard this song. It really struck a chord with me. If you’re struggling reach out to someone. We care, we get it. This thing has no minimum age requirement.
Papa taught me how to work; He taught me how to fish. Uncle taught me how to drink. Momma taught me not to worry; someday I’ll be someone. Sorry mama please don’t look at me 😢 You definitely had some great role models and it’s heartwarming! ❤
Happy this song finally got the video it deserves. First night you played this song on Idol, I sobbed. It reminded me so much of my brother. He, sadly, didn't turn his life around, and didn't make it out the other side. Glad you did. Congratulations and keep up the hard work. We're all pulling for you!
@@Sam-rf3qd You can do it. There will be set backs, but keep your focus on your goal. You took the biggest step already. Be really proud of that accomplishment ! Good luck to you, Sam! Pulling for ya! 🙂
I have followed Chayce’s journey since his audition on American Idol. I have been fortunate enough to have seen him perform live twice. After the second concert, I had the pleasure of meeting this incredible young man! I am extremely happy for Chayce and I’m looking forward to watching his career grow! I love him and his music!
I can't stop listening to this or sharing it with ones I love. I entered a Sober Living by my on accord "work on me". Powerful my brother. Just for the record I'm female, 59 yrs old, been to GA penitentiary twice. Upper middle class raised worked every job from Corporate America to " Guess your weight guess your age" on a fair circuit. It works if you work it Much love to ALL.
Please Don't ever change nor stray. You're gift is a special one and the passion is deep. Deeper too those you speak too. ❤ You are a true blessing 🙌 thank you Jesus for.. You sir!
I'm over a year and a half sober now. I've was using IV opiates for roughly a decade. I'm now 28 years old. My pain fed my crippling opiate addiction. My opiate addiction caused me more pain. I'm much better off now that I'm sober, but the pain is all still there.
I’m just saying that it’s hard to stop the drugs that you like so much I and I’m 50 years old and I quit drinking when I turned 21 and drove home from the bar and didn’t even remember how I did it but the next day I quit drinking and I have a drink during the holidays but it’s hard for people who have been drinking so much alcohol that they don’t want to give it up
Same addiction same age I got sober 32 now 4 years clean got a wife and a toddler now I’d give anything for her I wish I could tell you the pain eventually goes away but you find things to fill void and reason to keep going stay strong brother
@simplytim3851 My friend, the pain is coming from you not forgiving yourself. Sha. And guilt won't let us go. Make time to give yourself to others. Help someone as much as possible. God has for given you. It's you that is hanging on to the past. I know this because you are not alone. We as addicts all have these issues to face. Just remember to give of yourself to others and keep moving forward. And I promise these feels and thoughts will fail away. God Bless
I battled with addiction from 18-26 im 27 now and just over a year sober. I lost my self & wasted my early 20s chasing a high I loved but realized the high didn’t love me back. I used to joke about being an alcoholic to hide from reality. I tell you now I look great and feel even better. Much love to everyone
Growing up I had an abusive, alcholic father, and being the first born, he treated me like a son. He was hard on me, gave that tough love men always love to dish out. Being an adult now, having my own alcoholism, I can see his pain and why he would lash out. It wasn't anything I did, but this song really hits home for me. The way that he says momma don't look at me, is exactly how my father feels. I know because that's how I feel. The shame and humilation is something you deal with daily, and hearing these words are so eye opening. Cause life is not worth living that way. I love the rawness of this because it could fit SO many of life's difficult circumstances.
Omg! LOVE THIS SONG! My oldest son, is in prision because of alcohol, and was 24 when he was locked up, this song is like you wrote it for him, all of it fits him to a T. Amazing song, brought me to tears, God bless you and your journey !
This man needs to come to southern IL. We all love his voice and his lyrics. This single song has saved many of my friends from the darkness of depression and addiction. I love you all for progressing every single day even though it is an uphill climb!
the fact i just turned 25 and am sober, this song SCREAMS my life story, just different people places and things. im happy i found this song, thank you Chayce.
24yrs clean and sober . Without the grace of God give me his will there go I... devil,satin get behind me. You are not in me anymore thank you God for saving me,
I am 3 months sober today, and I am 33, turning 34. Discovering this song got me through some tough times as my mother looked down at me from heaven. Bless everyone struggling and know it does get better.
I'm 33 too & have over a month of sobriety under my belt. Most surprisingly for me though is I've given up cigarettes too. I truly have no desire to ever go back to any of it & I owe it all to finding the right Church & reading the Scriptures every day. God bless anyone reading this.
I'm an immigrant from Dominican Republic. Took the chance to move to California by myself. Worked as a janitor day and night and weekends for a year and a couple months for free and was victim of an BPD and abusive girlfriend who would put me out of the apartment everytime we had even a tiny argument. I touched bottom and manifested everything and let it to God work it out and since Jun this year I became my own boss and I work for myself and I own my time as well. Keep going. It's gonna be worthy! Don’t give up!
This song just speaks to me. I'm the mom of a 24 year old addict who is currently sober. I listen to this over and over and the video is amazing! Keep this kind of music coming.
Rest in peace, Colin. I wish we could have lived our lives out together... i wish youd had the bliss of sobriety. I cry every night wishing the bottle didnt come between us. I may never find what we had again, but I swear to commiting my life to making sure no one has to know the pain I felt loosing you. Rest in peace my dearest... remember only posers live forever. Ps. Dont worry, I will take care of Dylan and watch over Mick.
This song when I first heard it, put it into perspective of my life. And where I was heading. It was a sign from God. I started going back to church. And I was baptized, and Lord I was thankful to be saved. Thank you for the song, and opening my eyes.
Chayce Beckham, congratulations! You are a star in this video performing your very own song! I love❤it! On repeat, downloaded and I'll just keep on listening! 💕This is Wow!
Chayce is unique. I’ve been listening to this song on loop for a while now. I’m not a big fan of country, but Chayce is the one kind of person who makes country sound really, really good. Bravo.
Simple as my mama said when I was very young She told me not to worry son One day, you'll be someone But here I am at 21 As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun I'm sorry mama Please don't look at me When I got to Oklahoma I was 17 My papa taught me how to work and Lord, he was mean Working all day in that August heat He taught me how to fish My uncle taught me how to drink Well, I went California and I had me a band And we played in all the bars in all the southern lands We played all night, and we drank for free All of my boys and me Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me Soon I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more I know I shoulda taken it slow It's not the way that my life goes Now I know When you're passed out on the floor You're sober by 24 Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time And I'd drink my whiskey and she'd drink wine But soon my bottle was too much to comfort me Yeah, we'd sit on the river and we'd fish all day And we'd drive across the country, let the radio play Seven damn years, I never thought she'd leave Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me Soon I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more I know I shoulda taken it slow It's not the way that my life goes Lord, I know When you're passed out on the floor You're sober by 24 Simple as my mama said when I was very young She told me not to worry son One day you'll be someone But here I am at 21 As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun I'm sorry mama Please don't look at me
Seeing all the comment saying they’re 15+ years sober starting at 23-24 and I’m just praying that my step mom gets sober for her girls and my baby siblings. Being the oldest and having to leave, not being able to protect them whenever they need me, kills me. I don’t drink or touch drugs cause I’ve seen the consequences and I want them to always have a safe person to run to when they need help. If you’re struggling with addiction, there’s so many people praying for your sobriety. You don’t have to do it alone, there’s strength in the love your support people have for you. God Bless❤️
My addiction was too much for company also. Drove away the best woman a man could've asked for and damaged her deeply, made her a completely different person . I'm 24 rn sitting in detox . My son is what keeps me going . I've gotta stop this cycle . Been to rehab 3 times about to be a 4th and I can say confidently this is it.
i don't even think you have the slightest idea about what you just said. The fact that you recognize the mistakes you have made is one thing. The fact that you "damaged her deeply, made her a completely different person" is another. You're taking ownership and recognizing the consequences of your actions. That's major!! I deal with many people with addiction issues. I am addicted to soda and chocolate. That may sound stupid but I cannot stop. I can only try to imagine being addicted to something that has a stronger hold on you. I believe you have one of the greatest chances of survival than many others because of the insightfulness you have exhibited. As a nurse, I cared for a 23 year old alcoholic who died due to the damage he did to his pancreas from chronic pancreatitis as a result of alcohol abuse. Believe in yourself; you can do it.
@@donnathompson1619 thank you ive just failed many times so it gets disheartening. but im in rehab now been here for a month its a 4 month program. my dad passed and i used as an excuse to use and then i Od'd almost died was narcanned twice so im taking that as im supposed to be here and decided to really put my mind to it. but your words bring me hope as well. this is like my 4th or 5th time getting " clean" and going to detox or a rehab but i feel this is it
Sorry for the delay in response. I am a nurse and encounter many people in varying situations similar to what you describe. When I was a kid I thought it was "cool" to smoke so I tried. When I found myself "getting the urge for one" I knew I needed to stop. It was snowing outside and I didn't want to let it control me. My father was an alcoholic who physically abused my mother and brother, fist, police, the whole 9 yards. It had devastating consequences on my life. Please don't be insulted by this. I am addicted to chocolate and Pepsi, as a result have a weight issue. I cannot stop. This song helped me realize, OMG, I have a problem. This isn't just a craving, it's a darn addiction. I cannot begin to imagine what others go through in situations where the monster wants to consume you. The urge, the temptation to "just have one" knowing full well it will start all over again. I am making a conscious effort to change my ways, although I have failed so many times. I cannot stand to look at myself. It's embarrassing. I guess it depends on how badly we want it. Please be sure to distance yourself from anyone who would put you in a situation to fail. If they do, they are not your friends!!!!@@theonlyDB
@@donnathompson1619 thats the difference in you and I, I never once took or done any drug because i thought it was "cool". first drug i ever did was hydrocodone syrup that was prescribed at 14 years old. when i felt the intense motivation and confidence i was instantly interested in any other chemcals thqat could alter my state of mind. opioids ended up being the main because i was severly antisocial and had social anxiety and it basically cured it. so i just got to learn to live life how it waas meant to be without that. psychiatrist said i was depressed and had bipolar before using which is what lead to my addiction. im on antidepressants and bipolor and anxiety medication now and im sober right now and feel srt of "normal" one day at a time
Idk how this song came into my playlist, but I can relate to almost everything he's saying from letting life go by too fast, taking it for granted. To being 23 years old, drinking whisky as if it's water
I’m 23, just discovered this song in the most random spot - YT Shorts - and I love it. Been drinking too much recently, been struggling to find love, and been feeling alone lately. Got one real friend and no real aspirations yet, but hopefully all that will change. ❤️
Stay strong brother! I reccomend to look into some reject modernity stuff, go into that rabbit hole, start the grind and start your journey! You are not alone ❤
I feel ya brother. Iv been on my own since I was 12 living house to house. Had all my best friends and cousins I was always really close with but then we all just grew apart and Iv had no real friends since. Got with someone at 18 and was with for 16 years but she done nothing but cheat our entire relationship but I lied to myself over and over saying she’d stop so I’m now 34 and 100% on my own. This is the times real friends come in handy.
The first time I heard this song, I was struck by how catchy, haunting and beautiful it is! The guitar playing is extraordinary too! I had never heard of this artist before I heard this song but now, I am definitely mesmerized by his ability!
exactly. While I know nothing about guitars, I actually played it and asked my husband what kind of guitar was used in the song. I can't stop listening to it.
The vulnerability and courage to share this part of your life continues to amaze me. And that looks shows how much you have thought about this part of your life. Thank you
My buddy Dakota he is a real homie. he is struggling with a serious drinking problem thats starting to get ahold of him. I care about him and i know he will get through it. he puts this song on a lot and it helps me remember him when we dont talk that much. I know this song helps him when he has hard times and this song is a masterpiece. Thank you for helping my friend with this amazing song. ❤
Been clean for the first time in 27 years 4 months first time I’ve had a nice truck and a good father finally drugs suck went threw withdraws right after my mom passed she never seen me clean like this and I’m 37 shit crazy
I was a Chronic Alcoholic for 23+ years and finally gave everything to God. I ended up with Avascular Necrosis and had both my hips replaced at 44 & 46. My bone density is still in horrible condition, but May 3rd, 2024 I'll be Sober 7 years.
This scratched voice got me right away .then the song blew me right outta water ,wow !! Congrats 👏 your the next big deal on radio & I'll be watching you collect your 1st of many awards ❤ you go man ,luv ya from Bouctouche, NB ,Canada
One of my favorite country artists off American Idol! I saw him perform this song acoustic during Idol Hour and it was amazing! I really want to catch a show at some point.
Love this song. Was an alcoholic off and on. Meaning I would stop for 6 months then stop again for 3 yrs. Guess I still am but haven't had a drink in a yr. I did lose my family of 4 kids for bout 2 weeks, then we gave it to God and I haven't wanted a drink at all. It's hard when everyone around me still drinks. I don't ask anyone to not drink around me, I was a messy drunk and no one should have to stop cause of me. I still go to bars just drink water and continue being the funny me sober. Realized I am still the star of the show just sober and I remember everything now. Back in the gym and gaining muscle back and losing the whisky belly and red swollen face. I am here with everyone who is battling addiction. It's hard but find a reason to not drink. My family was my reason. I love them more than drinking.
Best country song of all time, this music video deserves 100% pure country, that might give the opportunity to share all of the memories and inspiring moments in your life I hope you have a great future and experience the #1 song in the country charts, that would be this song. You could have a Award for #1 best music video and Country of the year.
Working on dads old truck at like 3 in the morning, this song started playing and I was going to change it but I let it play, best decision I made that night.
I’m leaving for the Marines soon I was looking for something to relate to while I’m in bootcamp. I lost my girl because her father and brother didn’t respect me 8 years of my life and nothing to show for it.. enough of my sob story I always knew it wouldn’t last. Time to become a man and handle my business I am promised to be sober by 24 6months to change my life forever 💪🏼 God first ✝️
Turning 23, just realized love ain’t for me, families everything to me but I’m always in fear of what the future will bring, I can’t help but worry about the times and how fast they past, my aspirations are wasted on me. This song has something really magical about it.
You’re not alone. We all feel this way, you’re just brave enough to say it. Keep you dreams, work at them and when it happens you can tell your younger self and children it’s worth it. Pass it on. ❤
Just turned 23 I worked as a helper on the pipeline and do road construction I feel like I have no days off and I’m taking off on my first vacation in my life and this song really pushed me to explore and there’s more to life then work and die.
We gotta get that grind on while we're young 💪 yes there's more to life than work, but if you can manage to put that money away or into investments or property set yourself up while you have extra time to. As a 25 yr old starting a small business, I wish I had saved more from those 100hr weeks
Wonderful gritty song. Those hard driving bass guitar parts make this song along with his heart felt voice. Saw Chayce live on Luke's farm tour near Colfax, Iowa. Go see a show people! Best voice ever on live stage.
I’ve liked this song since the 1st time I heard it on the radio. I gave up alcohol about 23 years ago and haven’t looked back. Someone very close to me is battling the Demon’s.
That was awesome! I loved the twist at the end with 'mama' -- loved the song from Idol and still love it. It's still on my playlist. You're a STAR! Congratulations!!!
I lost my DaD in January He was 85.😢He was probably an alcoholic, but retired military and had an amazing career with the Phone company. He NEVER DRANK AND DROVE. Sometimes he went months with no alcohol. COULDN'T BELIEVE THE CONTROL HE HAD. Even if he got falling down drunk, the night before, in his 40s and 50s He would sober up, take a shower and go to his manager job without missing a beat. I'm pretty sure the jab he was convinced he needed by his soon to be exposed physician was the reason for his stroke and ultimate demise. He had been golfing weekly for years. It's not always the alcohol that kills folks! Washington State senior citizens BEWARE....
@@markanderson1088I pray in Jesus name that you and your family are healed and continue to always bring forth the best memories and love of your brother
Damn this is a great song!! The part where they see each other gave me instant chills when i think about myself and how far I've come from where i was.
Dad was a drinker, I steered clear of most of it. Thank God I realized early on that Drinkin is something to keep at a minimum.. So I’ve always had a healthy relationship with it. I’ll never let it lead.
I just got sober just under 3 months ago, and a month into my sober time was my 24th birthday, if I would’ve kept onto that bender for that whole month beforehand I wouldn’t have made it past 23. I’m so grateful, and I love country but never heard this song. It really struck a chord with me. If you’re struggling reach out to someone. We care, we get it. This thing has no minimum age requirement.
ur about do for a relapse bud
All you need to do is get a sponsor, ask for help, and go to meetings. That's what kept me sober for almost 10 years.
@@larryhatfield1588 100% I have a great sponsor who cares

The only thing can fill the void is God. Chase him cuz he's chasing you

Hi this is my new favorite song and I love it so play this song everyday
I am struggling at 51. I pray for all that get up everyday and try to chamge their routine.. Keep trying. Never give up.
Wishing you the best mate. I know a few older guys who turned their life around at that age - good people.

I’m 25 been fighting alcoholism since 16 or 17 I’m 2 years clean with a few relapses
Ever get that one song in your head that won't leave you alone? This is it! Love this song.

😃😃😃😃😃
Uuuuuu YES
Psalm 23
Had this on replay last 3 days lol
Chayce is unique. I’ve been listening to this song on loop for a while now. I’m not a big fan of country, but Chayce is the one kind of person who makes country sound really, really good. Bravo.
He may be a country singer but I'm not convinced this is a country song lol.
@@Ssalyer41 Point is, good song
This is the most honest, powerful song I have heard in a very long time. Bravo
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
She told me not to worry son
One day, you'll be someone
But here I am at 21
As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
I'm sorry mama
Please don't look at me
When I got to Oklahoma I was 17
My papa taught me how to work and Lord, he was mean
Working all day in that August heat
He taught me how to fish
My uncle taught me how to drink
Well, I went California and I had me a band
And we played in all the bars in all the southern lands
We played all night, and we drank for free
All of my boys and me
Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me
Soon I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more
I know I shoulda taken it slow
It's not the way that my life goes
Now I know
When you're passed out on the floor
You're sober by 24
Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time
And I'd drink my whiskey and she'd drink wine
But soon my bottle was too much to comfort me
Yeah, we'd sit on the river and we'd fish all day
And we'd drive across the country, let the radio play
Seven damn years, I never thought she'd leave
Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me
Soon I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more
I know I shoulda taken it slow
It's not the way that my life goes
Lord, I know
When you're passed out on the floor
You're sober by 24
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
She told me not to worry son
One day you'll be someone
But here I am at 21
As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
I'm sorry mama
Please don't look at me
mom-pride right now, in every stage, I will be there for those boys. TY for this.
This will be forever a great song for all us lost sons! 🤘
❤❤
My dad taught me to fish. He died in 98. And my uncles tonight me how to drink
@@joshuaslater2269what?? 😂😂😂
I am your 200 like
@@jencerami6942 thanks! 🤘
Seeing all the comment saying they’re 15+ years sober starting at 23-24 and I’m just praying that my step mom gets sober for her girls and my baby siblings. Being the oldest and having to leave, not being able to protect them whenever they need me, kills me. I don’t drink or touch drugs cause I’ve seen the consequences and I want them to always have a safe person to run to when they need help. If you’re struggling with addiction, there’s so many people praying for your sobriety. You don’t have to do it alone, there’s strength in the love your support people have for you. God Bless❤️
This song changed my mind about the Country Music Genera. This song absolutely slaps. Great job
As someone who is sober from drugs and alcohol for a year now living and working in Oklahoma this song hit different
My addiction was too much for company also. Drove away the best woman a man could've asked for and damaged her deeply, made her a completely different person . I'm 24 rn sitting in detox . My son is what keeps me going . I've gotta stop this cycle . Been to rehab 3 times about to be a 4th and I can say confidently this is it.
I’m so happy for you man you deserve to be out of that cycle.
Comment back to me in six months on how you’re feeling!
i don't even think you have the slightest idea about what you just said. The fact that you recognize the mistakes you have made is one thing. The fact that you "damaged her deeply, made her a completely different person" is another. You're taking ownership and recognizing the consequences of your actions. That's major!! I deal with many people with addiction issues. I am addicted to soda and chocolate. That may sound stupid but I cannot stop. I can only try to imagine being addicted to something that has a stronger hold on you.
I believe you have one of the greatest chances of survival than many others because of the insightfulness you have exhibited. As a nurse, I cared for a 23 year old alcoholic who died due to the damage he did to his pancreas from chronic pancreatitis as a result of alcohol abuse. Believe in yourself; you can do it.
@@donnathompson1619 thank you ive just failed many times so it gets disheartening. but im in rehab now been here for a month its a 4 month program. my dad passed and i used as an excuse to use and then i Od'd almost died was narcanned twice so im taking that as im supposed to be here and decided to really put my mind to it. but your words bring me hope as well. this is like my 4th or 5th time getting " clean" and going to detox or a rehab but i feel this is it
Sorry for the delay in response. I am a nurse and encounter many people in varying situations similar to what you describe. When I was a kid I thought it was "cool" to smoke so I tried. When I found myself "getting the urge for one" I knew I needed to stop. It was snowing outside and I didn't want to let it control me. My father was an alcoholic who physically abused my mother and brother, fist, police, the whole 9 yards. It had devastating consequences on my life.
Please don't be insulted by this. I am addicted to chocolate and Pepsi, as a result have a weight issue. I cannot stop. This song helped me realize, OMG, I have a problem. This isn't just a craving, it's a darn addiction. I cannot begin to imagine what others go through in situations where the monster wants to consume you. The urge, the temptation to "just have one" knowing full well it will start all over again.
I am making a conscious effort to change my ways, although I have failed so many times. I cannot stand to look at myself. It's embarrassing. I guess it depends on how badly we want it. Please be sure to distance yourself from anyone who would put you in a situation to fail. If they do, they are not your friends!!!!@@theonlyDB
@@donnathompson1619 thats the difference in you and I, I never once took or done any drug because i thought it was "cool". first drug i ever did was hydrocodone syrup that was prescribed at 14 years old. when i felt the intense motivation and confidence i was instantly interested in any other chemcals thqat could alter my state of mind. opioids ended up being the main because i was severly antisocial and had social anxiety and it basically cured it. so i just got to learn to live life how it waas meant to be without that. psychiatrist said i was depressed and had bipolar before using which is what lead to my addiction. im on antidepressants and bipolor and anxiety medication now and im sober right now and feel srt of "normal" one day at a time
Idk how this song came into my playlist, but I can relate to almost everything he's saying from letting life go by too fast, taking it for granted. To being 23 years old, drinking whisky as if it's water
Same
I’m 23, just discovered this song in the most random spot - YT Shorts - and I love it. Been drinking too much recently, been struggling to find love, and been feeling alone lately. Got one real friend and no real aspirations yet, but hopefully all that will change. ❤️
Stay strong brother! I reccomend to look into some reject modernity stuff, go into that rabbit hole, start the grind and start your journey! You are not alone ❤
Stay with what u love and do what u love
It won't. But life is what u make it. Do you chief that's all that matters
I am 60 years old and have been alone for 6 years after 3 marriages. I am now dating another 60 year old and life is awesome. It always gets better.
I feel ya brother. Iv been on my own since I was 12 living house to house. Had all my best friends and cousins I was always really close with but then we all just grew apart and Iv had no real friends since. Got with someone at 18 and was with for 16 years but she done nothing but cheat our entire relationship but I lied to myself over and over saying she’d stop so I’m now 34 and 100% on my own. This is the times real friends come in handy.
This song is about your mother. Respect her.. Enjoy the time you have with each other. Before she's gone..
The first time I heard this song, I was struck by how catchy, haunting and beautiful it is! The guitar playing is extraordinary too! I had never heard of this artist before I heard this song but now, I am definitely mesmerized by his ability!
I was literally thinking the same thing bro.
Great minds think alike! 😁@@oakgutowski7031
I was addicted to his voice from the first time I heard it now I could listen to it all day every day lol what a great artist, phenomenal voice
exactly. While I know nothing about guitars, I actually played it and asked my husband what kind of guitar was used in the song. I can't stop listening to it.
Great Minds think alike! @@oakgutowski7031
There is hope and there is the hopeless. Cheers 🍻
The vulnerability and courage to share this part of your life continues to amaze me. And that looks shows how much you have thought about this part of your life. Thank you
Almost 4 years sober after 15+ years of heroin and alcohol. Anybody struggling, there is a way out, you CAN do it. Great song
We just need to wakeup And realize life has more than we think u just need to be clear headed to see it. 👌🙏
My buddy Dakota he is a real homie. he is struggling with a serious drinking problem thats starting to get ahold of him. I care about him and i know he will get through it. he puts this song on a lot and it helps me remember him when we dont talk that much. I know this song helps him when he has hard times and this song is a masterpiece. Thank you for helping my friend with this amazing song. ❤
Wow very heart string pulling. So great. Thanks Chayce. 🇨🇦 💕
Congrats Chayce! So great seeing you do big things!! You deserve it, keep at it! This video is awesome and song 🔥
Congratulations on this song becoming your first to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
Been clean for the first time in 27 years 4 months first time I’ve had a nice truck and a good father finally drugs suck went threw withdraws right after my mom passed she never seen me clean like this and I’m 37 shit crazy
Chayce needs to be the biggest star ever, he is pure talent and a true star! 23 finally got a music video like it deserves.
😊 This song is What made me like Chayce I can Relate to this song.
Not the biggest but good 👍
Absolutely loving your deep voice and the lyrics, I usually sing along!!
Love this video! Love Chayce, he’s an amazing singer and person. So kind and humble. The sky is the limit🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This man would LOVE it here in Newfoundland Canada ❤ George Street is waiting for you 🍻🍺🍻
I was a Chronic Alcoholic for 23+ years and finally gave everything to God. I ended up with Avascular Necrosis and had both my hips replaced at 44 & 46. My bone density is still in horrible condition, but May 3rd, 2024 I'll be Sober 7 years.
Hey! Congrats dude! I know I'm a little early but I hope your doing great, great job!
❤Thats So Great You Hang in there
@@MaureenOwens-k8i , thank you.
This songs reminds me of the country music my dad would listen to when I was growing up ❤
This is what true country sounds like. What new country is imho is crap. Atleast the mainstream stuff
This scratched voice got me right away .then the song blew me right outta water ,wow !! Congrats 👏 your the next big deal on radio & I'll be watching you collect your 1st of many awards ❤ you go man ,luv ya from Bouctouche, NB ,Canada
I’m 26. Have 4 years sober. People ask how. I just say “I just don’t pick it up”. Anyone can do it. Stay strong you’ll find yourself.
This song hits home with me. ❤
As a 35 Year old fighting this shit it is exactly what I needed to hear
This way better than the New country.
One of my favorite country artists off American Idol! I saw him perform this song acoustic during Idol Hour and it was amazing! I really want to catch a show at some point.
Love this song. Was an alcoholic off and on. Meaning I would stop for 6 months then stop again for 3 yrs. Guess I still am but haven't had a drink in a yr. I did lose my family of 4 kids for bout 2 weeks, then we gave it to God and I haven't wanted a drink at all. It's hard when everyone around me still drinks. I don't ask anyone to not drink around me, I was a messy drunk and no one should have to stop cause of me. I still go to bars just drink water and continue being the funny me sober. Realized I am still the star of the show just sober and I remember everything now. Back in the gym and gaining muscle back and losing the whisky belly and red swollen face. I am here with everyone who is battling addiction. It's hard but find a reason to not drink. My family was my reason. I love them more than drinking.
Congrats man at doing better keep it going
May god bless you man
❤
Was insane to see the crowd at boots and hearts chant for this song
Best country song of all time, this music video deserves 100% pure country, that might give the opportunity to share all of the memories and inspiring moments in your life I hope you have a great future and experience the #1 song in the country charts, that would be this song. You could have a Award for #1 best music video and Country of the year.
Working on dads old truck at like 3 in the morning, this song started playing and I was going to change it but I let it play, best decision I made that night.
I'm 41, and I now need to find myself .
Go to Narcotics anominus meetings! Or alcohol anominus!!!
You will get there
I’m leaving for the Marines soon I was looking for something to relate to while I’m in bootcamp. I lost my girl because her father and brother didn’t respect me 8 years of my life and nothing to show for it.. enough of my sob story I always knew it wouldn’t last. Time to become a man and handle my business I am promised to be sober by 24 6months to change my life forever 💪🏼 God first ✝️
Brother in arms..we support you and understand...semper fi
Yay I’m so excited to see it!
Turning 23, just realized love ain’t for me, families everything to me but I’m always in fear of what the future will bring, I can’t help but worry about the times and how fast they past, my aspirations are wasted on me. This song has something really magical about it.
You’re not alone. We all feel this way, you’re just brave enough to say it. Keep you dreams, work at them and when it happens you can tell your younger self and children it’s worth it. Pass it on. ❤
Just turned 23 I worked as a helper on the pipeline and do road construction I feel like I have no days off and I’m taking off on my first vacation in my life and this song really pushed me to explore and there’s more to life then work and die.
Good Luck to you always. Remember you are in the beginning of your life. I'm sure it will get much better for you. Be strong.❤
bc canada? cheerss
We gotta get that grind on while we're young 💪 yes there's more to life than work, but if you can manage to put that money away or into investments or property set yourself up while you have extra time to. As a 25 yr old starting a small business, I wish I had saved more from those 100hr weeks
Wonderful gritty song. Those hard driving bass guitar parts make this song along with his heart felt voice. Saw Chayce live on Luke's farm tour near Colfax, Iowa. Go see a show people! Best voice ever on live stage.
I was on my scrolling mode when I saw your profile and was moved to send a text, hope you are having a good day...?
I’ve liked this song since the 1st time I heard it on the radio. I gave up alcohol about 23 years ago and haven’t looked back. Someone very close to me is battling the Demon’s.
If there was ever a song written about my life this is it minus the “sober by 24” part. Took me a lot longer
Love the song… Love my cousin Fallon in the video! You’ve got good taste, Chase! 💯❤️
This is what country is supposed to sound and feel like
Definitely a haunting voice....
This song just hits different
That was awesome! I loved the twist at the end with 'mama' -- loved the song from Idol and still love it. It's still on my playlist. You're a STAR! Congratulations!!!
Keep that chin up!!!!!
❤❤🎉🎉
I love this song I got sober on my 34th birthday . I had an extra ten years of research to do.
I wish I had got sober by 24. I spent about 13 years out in the world of addiction
People don't understand addiction....it's easy to say just don't.....if ur not there, and not the one, u don't get it
A moment of silence for our brothers and sisters who didn’t make it out of their alcoholism
I’m sorry
15 years ago today that I lost my brother Jack ❤
I lost my DaD in January He was 85.😢He was probably an alcoholic, but retired military and had an amazing career with the Phone company. He NEVER DRANK AND DROVE. Sometimes he went months with no alcohol. COULDN'T BELIEVE THE CONTROL HE HAD. Even if he got falling down drunk, the night before, in his 40s and 50s He would sober up, take a shower and go to his manager job without missing a beat. I'm pretty sure the jab he was convinced he needed by his soon to be exposed physician was the reason for his stroke and ultimate demise. He had been golfing weekly for years. It's not always the alcohol that kills folks! Washington State senior citizens BEWARE....
Amen
@@markanderson1088I pray in Jesus name that you and your family are healed and continue to always bring forth the best memories and love of your brother
Heard this the day I started to take my recovery seriously. Thank you sir.
That’s so cool. I’ll pray for courage and strength for you.
Wow 😲 this song really tells a story...love it
Damn this is a great song!! The part where they see each other gave me instant chills when i think about myself and how far I've come from where i was.
Psalm 23
Im sorry to everyone who had an alcohol addiction. Im struggling with psychedelics right now. I hope we all make it through this
I’m 32 - I’ve battled addiction my whole life. God bless everyone.
One dayat a time man! God bless
Dad was a drinker, I steered clear of most of it. Thank God I realized early on that Drinkin is something to keep at a minimum.. So I’ve always had a healthy relationship with it. I’ll never let it lead.
I'm a songwriter and music production student, I always listen to the billboard hot country and study the songs. This one made a big impression on me.
I love you Chase! Thank you for reminding us battling addiction that we're not alone...
Chase, if you read this, I have a premonition that if you do a collaboration with Zac Bryan you will blow up the radio.
got sober at 22 almost 25 now, God bless those struggling you got this🩵❤️🔥
Fell in love with this song on the road trip to visit my nephews. Hoping my local stations start playing it soon.
