    "The idea for this song was inspired by the one and only time I truly tried to "pray the gay away". It took a long time to get there, but this song is about my journey to accepting that there is absolutely nothing wrong with loving someone else."

    LYRICS
    Tried to fight it
    To deny it
    But every single night it’s the same desire, same damn fire
    Smoked a little
    Tried to pray
    Knew it was you the moment I felt this, baby I’m helpless
    I can only resist for so long
    I gave it my best
    But this halo don’t fit
    If I had to spend forever in heaven without you might as well be in hell
    My verdict is in
    Cause baby if loving you is wrong
    Then I’m guilty as sin
    I’m done pretending
    Cut the tension
    Ain’t no use in us acting like, this ain’t right
    I need your body
    Heavy on me
    I’m always falling back to your gravity, it’s pulling me
    And I can only resist for so long
    I gave it my best
    But this halo don’t fit
    If I had to spend forever in heaven without you might as well be in hell
    My verdict is in
    Cause baby if loving you is wrong
    Then I’m guilty as sin
    I can only resist for so long
    I found holy right here in your arms
    I gave it my best
    But this halo don’t fit
    If I had to spend forever in heaven without you might as well be in hell
    My verdict is in
    Cause baby if loving you is wrong
    Then I’m guilty as sin
    Yeah I’m guilty as sin
    Guilty as sin

    I grew up gay in a rural small town in Colorado during the 70s and 80s listening to country music. It is impossible for me to imagine what my life would have been like, if I had the chance to hear a song and see a video like this growing up. Thank you Mr. Housman. Keep up the great work!

I truly hope you younger folks appreciate the place were in where something so beautiful and relatable as this can exist on a platform like this. It may seem like a little thing, but things like this are a catalyst for people struggling with their identity, fighting against their own upbringings and beliefs to be their authentic selves and give themselves the opportunity and allowance to be happy in their own skin. I'm sure this artist recognizes what this could mean to so many who grew up in these small towns, but if you don't consider yourself notified. Keep up the great work despite my compliments on the message make no mistake you are a wonderful singer and the song is fire. WOOFS to both of you Bears :)

    Just played this to my country music producer father here in Australia and he loved it to bits. "It's just so good!" - reminded him of country in the 60s in the best way. You've got new fans in both me and my dad, he's in his 70s and country through and through and loves your message and songwriting! 💙💙💙 Spent this morning discussing queer country artists across the decades with him and it was such a special conversation that wouldn't have happened without you.

      Also a cis woman, and I've been avoiding this one for the past few days because I was afraid it was going to be an anti song for some reason. Maybe because I've never heard a country song like it? Has there ever been a country song like it? I don't think so. But I finally broke down and clicked today and I'm so glad I did. Beautiful song.

However, raised in those environs we sure do have to overcome a lot of self-hatred, shame, and even internal homophobia to accept who we are.

    I too grew up in the rural south during the 50’s & 60’s and always felt that there was something wrong with me. It has taken a long time and lots of work in therapy 3:01 , but the shackles are loosening each day. This frees my heart, my mind, and soul. From the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU!
    Good fortune and prosperity to you and yours.

    This song is as good if not better than anything on country radio right now. Congratulations on a job extremely well done

    I’m a 1968 Gen Xer who grew up gay in a teensy tiny rural Texas town, so I listened to a LOT of country music. It does my heart good to see our LGBTQ+ community being represented in this genre. Also, I dunno if the artist and the other man in the video are just acting or if they’re together irl, but that chemistry was 🔥🔥🔥. Biggest props to you Chris Housman!

    FULL LYRICS
    I tried to fight it
    To deny it
    But every single night it’s the same desire, the same damn fire
    I smoked a little
    I tried to pray
    Knew it was you the moment I felt this, baby I’m helpless
    I can only resist for so long
    I gave it my best
    But this halo don’t fit
    If I had to spend forever in heaven without you might as well be in hell
    My verdict is in
    Cause baby if loving you is wrong
    Then I’m guilty as sin
    I’m done pretending
    I cut the tension
    Ain’t no using us acting like, this ain’t right
    I need your body
    Heavy on me
    I’m always falling back to your gravity, it’s pulling me
    And I can only resist for so long
    I gave it my best
    But this halo don’t fit
    If I had to spend forever in heaven without you might as well be in hell
    My verdict is in
    Cause baby if loving you is wrong
    Then I’m guilty as sin
    Yeah I’m guilty as sin
    I can only resist for so long
    I found holy right here in your arms
    I gave it my best
    But this halo don’t fit
    If I had to spend forever in heaven without you might as well be in hell
    My verdict is in
    Cause baby if loving you is wrong
    Oh baby if loving you is wrong
    Then I’m guilty as sin
    Yeah I’m guilty as sin
    Guilty as sin

    The algorithm did good today in calling this up for me! I had no knowledge of Mr. Housman before today, but I did enjoy this, and my curiosity to learn more is piqued.

    This is the second beautiful song about country loving that I’ve heard in the last week.
    It’s great to see country western men showing up as themselves ❤️🌈❤️
