I just met this guy at a church, I was giving up on myself and God and music and life. And then boom. I walked into a church one hour early, due to following the Holy Spirit no I didn’t wanna go. I didn’t wanna wake up. In fact I made a song last night at 3am to God to depart from my ugly no good self, and then this guy and 2 other guys were practicing before the morning service, and they really did good, and they made me wanna change. Not half a$$, but fully. Iv let anger and hate destroy me, as many have, and he said to me after church, “When I’m faced with the option between right and wrong, he said to always chose what’s right and never what’s wrong” and that changed my life. Which shall change many of others. It’s a butterfly effect. It’s more impressive and scary than I can word it to be known. Or understood. Stay alive. Face yourself. Lean to God. Stay humble. And love yourself forgive yourself 🙏❤️🩹 so we can have love and forgiveness to give to God and others ♾️✨
I'm going through a divorce right now. 35 years I had to call the lawyer today and it just got real for me. So this pops up on my Facebook page and had no idea what it was going to be. I listened to it. I didn't want to but I couldn't stop listening to it. It hit home. So you can see why it hit me hard. Thanks Gary
Bless your heart brother...hope you find the peace and strength to carry on. I'm in a similar situation, came across this song. It has helped. Like you said, I've listened to it over and over.
Hate to here that man. It's gotta be rough. I've been married to the same woman for going on 29 yrs and she's my right arm for real. But troubles will come. And troubles they we I'll go. Sorry man.
Been there to brother, 35 years, ten years ago. Time takes care of things. Got two good kids and my best friend, Graywolf and Malamute. Life is good. Stay strong. USMC

I heard you sing this at Shoals Theater last night, and I loved it so much I’m here looking it up to hear it again. That was my first outing in three months but I went with some friends because we heard Will McFarlane was playing and we knew him from way back, but that was my first outing in three months since my sweet husband passed away suddenly from cancer. He ran a Caterpillar Trackhoe. And he was really good at it. Thank you.
Not enough words to describe how powerful and touching this song is! And so much heart and soul coming out of you when you sing it! So many folks need this song! Looking forward to more from you Gary... thank you friend!
Dude !!! Where have you been? My God what a talent!!! Dude I can listen to you for days!!!! Come down outta them hills long enough to give us a record!!!
Gary you look sick as sh*t and sound better than ever. You inspired me at the Ryman watching you. I learned all the The Steeldriver cause of you. Not Chris. Chris can sing but you can sing and play. Miss you.❤
This is my new favorite song since first seeing it. I listen to it a few times a day a few days a week. This song speaks to what’s going on in my life right now. I am grateful for people like you to bless us with words of encouragement through songs like this. Thanks…
Awesome brother! We can tell it comes from a sacred place. I'm right there with ya, 3 months clean, and learnin how to walk again. You have no idea what you've done with this song. Thank you...
I've been clean now going on 28 years and still Learning how to Walk, I believe it is a never ending ever Learning Journey. I sent this Song to my Son who is just starting his Learning Journey, couldn't think of a better gift to give him. Thanks Mr Gary for Your Heart and this Song. Who makes the Guitar you are Playing??? It sounds Great. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
