This song 100% broke me to tears. Completely bawling. This one hits close to home. So happy seeing Hayden continue making music. His music speaks to me like no one else❤
So glad to find a new Hayden song. His music speaks to me in a way I rarely find. ["...someone gentle, who don't point out all my scars..."] Fucking beautiful...
I seen your vid about Ben. Made me sad. At least it seems you have some GREAT memories. Hope you're begininng to feel less helpless/hopeless.. He wouldnt want that im sure. Your tribute was raw and real and the music was brilliant too. Please, keep on keeping on. X
When I see this I think of my son Chris who was accepted for the UK army. A top grade star winner. He died on christmeas day 2021 from cancer. I think of you as a top grade star winner, whatever happens to you.
Hayden pulling my heartstrings again, wonderful song! Chords and lyrics below. Not quite sure about 2nd line in Verse 6 and last line in Verse 7, so help me out there if ya can! Standard tuning, Capo on 1 As he does most of the time, Hayden plays the G chord as 320033 Intro C / F C / F Am / G Verses C / F C / F Am / F C G Chorus Am C F / Am C F / Am C F / F G Bridge F C / F C / G / F / Am / G / F / C Interlude C / F C / F Am / G [Intro] [Verse 1] Oh mama Won't you help me up the rope I took a C-Note in my coat So much less than I'm old [Verse 2] Please believe me I don't mean to make you mad And in the end it's only money It won't set you back so bad [Verse 3] Plus they tell me That I'll be hired on by spring I've already hocked off all my clothing With you mother's diamond ring [Verse 4] If you'll forgive me Oh I'll get it back so soon Just need somewhere safe and warm Can't you spot me for a room [Chorus] Another day goes by I guess And I can't tell it from the last And maybe if I'll keep myself from looking back I'll see my ship coming on in [Verse 5] Oh god Won't you send me someone kind Who don't rough me up or lie Leave me better off this time [Verse 6] Someone gentle Who don't pound on all my scars Who don't beat my battered heart I do that plenty on my own [Chorus] It's always two steps back And another off the track And can I get the chance to take a crack Breathing on my own [Bridge] There's a light that shines prettier than I have ever seen From them golden fields and amber hills that haunt me in the wake From my dreams And I feel calmness Washing over me And I don't wanna break And I don't wanna break And I don't wanna break [Interlude] [Verse 7] And I'm so tired Just wanna sleep off all the hurt I've sold the corners of my body With the lessen myself worth [Verse 8] If you'll forgive me Oh I'll get you back so soon I'll just need somewhere safe and quiet It's way too loud here in this room [Chorus] Another day goes by I guess And I can't tell it from the last And maybe if I'll keep myself from looking back I'll see my ship coming on in [Bridge] There's a light that shines prettier than I have ever seen From them golden fields and amber hills that haunt me in the wake From my dreams And I feel calmness Washing over me And I don't wanna break And I don't wanna break And I don't wanna break
End of v 7 = with the last of my self worth. Thanks for lyrics man. I ❤ HKD , eased my addiction pain and shines a pulsating light on our lives fading hopes and still sadly kept dreams. Hope ur well Mr Karchner, your music soothes my sores brother x. PS v 6 = who don't point out all my scars x
From all the amazing artists this channel allows us to discover in such a beautiful way, Hayden's music has always been my personal favorite. So I'm really excited to hear a new song and to read that he's working on a new album. I've listened so much to his first album in my car, both in happy moments while driving through the mountains, and in sad moments when there seemed to be no way out of endless struggles. It's all just about holding on, and I feel that's the lesson he's offering us through his music. I hope you are both doing well. I'm sending all my gratitude from France, on the other side of this big ocean. Also, seeing him drive away in the snow, just wearing his sturdy jacket, has a nice "Inside Llewyn David" vibe !
This channel exposed me to two of my absolute favorite artists Hayden, and Benjamin Tod are just on another level when it comes to making music that feeds my soul. The way this man sings his stories, you can feel every part of it like it's a memory. And I believe Benjamin Tod is one of the best songwriters I'll ever get the pleasure of listening too. Also so many more artist I've found on here that are amazing. You're doing the lords work with this channel.
The song and performance are incredible, Its definitely one of those songs that I have listened to way too many times to count. On top of that, though, the way the video begins, with some lighthearted banter, with the guitar fading in the intro underneath, is a stellar direction choice. It just makes the song that much more poignant, I love how it contrasts with Hayden joking around. It adds a special touch to the already fucking amazing song/video
This is the essence of songwriting right here. Creativity from the pain of life's lessons. Chillingly relatable. For those who can't relate, it lets them feel the harder side of life without having to go there themselves. It gives people who have been there a little hope that things could get better. Thanks for sharing this.
You both never cease to amaze. Being able to capture these incredible songs and Haydens own life journey ,is artwork in its own right. Nothing like shedding some tears after a 12 hour bar shift.
its a bit tough to take pleasure in another's pain. Your pain Hayden is your blessing. and it is and can be that answered prayer, that light you speak of. ❤️
I dont think I've ever cried literally through a whole song, this will hit some Differently, me being one of those folks, Thank You, Thanks for sharing ur gift!!! Take Care❤
As a looser who’s only talent is fingerpicking and having 19 years clean of Heroin, I absolutely love this song. Wish I had wrote it to be honest. Awesome job Hayden.
@@thenakedbootleggers I’m really sorry to hear that. Thank you for your words of encouragement, and the same goes to you; we can honor them best by being the best versions of ourselves. Hang in there
I've loved your music since I first heard Glory and you have no idea the synchronicities and parallels with our lives perhaps. I read it, hear it, see it, FEEL it in your fuckin music man and it's real as fuck. Thank you for existing and creating this exceptional art and sound. I needed this at this moment.
Cant help myself. I want to hug Hayden, I want him to know so bad that he is loved and he can definitely be forgiven. Hope Im around if this song gets on an album.
Goddamnit Hayden! Why do your words touch my heart like a ghost of my past coming to take me back?!? This song hits me so hard. Parts of it remind me of conversations with my mom when I was a homeless addict. Other parts remind me of my best friend who was taken by a serial killer while she was trying to turn tricks for dope money.
This was special. Like everybody else is saying, it's pretty emotional and true. His vulnerability and flaws are his strength now, and that's absolutely beautiful. Stay strong Hayden, you're a rockstar now man! Also, get that house!! Break the guitar and blame Gems. I mean to say, I want his house too... We're still good people lmao!
Another classic from Hayden, what a poet, story teller and great performer. I totally believe you man. All the best in what you do. Love from across the pond. Your music always touches me.
This song as along with the rest of his work well it's amazing and relatable. I enjoy the video in it's entirety showing pieces of Haydens personality. We share atleast one thing in common as when I was younger I was a drifter with no real roots anywhere and Hayden seems to be a drifter also. Good work.
Is that what it's called today? Being a drifter? Ok, so my husband who stopped being a "drifter" exactly a year ago. On this horrible morning, he forgot to breathe. The glassy, bluest eyes in the world "looked" straight at me. I knew a long time ago in my heart and soul, he would leave me forever and end his "drifting" exactly this way. Nothing good lasts long. We are only guaranteed eternal change. This is the one I hate indescribably.
Hayden my brother. From the days of our drunken Halloween debauchery in Austin till now. Danika and I love you man! Dressed in your half ass superhero costume and looking to the two of us to in the background of a crowded room because you've forgotten some of the lyrics to God Damn and Long Walk Home... We've always had a spot in our home and heart for you bud. Glad to see you're well.
still waiting for him to come too spfld IL open invitation he is and inspiration to all through his music relapse is a cry for help as we try to overcome are addictions. thanks for the music Hayden.

Hayden’s music got me through the early days of getting off dope. Now I have 2 and a half years off the stuff
Congrats! Keep fighting
I've been clean now for 3 months, i got er this time!
@@patrickg420you got that shit for sure, brother!
sober since 2014 here and it still helps, not sure why sad music about addiction helps so much but it does.

"who wont beat my battered heart, i do that enough on my own" its a fantastically written tune.

I'm a Jewish country boy. The chanukah shout-out is most appreciated, my fellow hillbilly brother.
Holy shit. One of the best written songs ever.

Hayden pulling my heartstrings again, wonderful song!
Chords and lyrics below. Not quite sure about 2nd line in Verse 6 and last line in Verse 7, so help me out there if ya can!
Standard tuning, Capo on 1
As he does most of the time, Hayden plays the G chord as 320033
Intro C / F C / F Am / G
Verses C / F C / F Am / F C G
Chorus Am C F / Am C F / Am C F / F G
Bridge F C / F C / G / F / Am / G / F / C
Interlude C / F C / F Am / G
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Oh mama
Won't you help me up the rope
I took a C-Note in my coat
So much less than I'm old
[Verse 2]
Please believe me
I don't mean to make you mad
And in the end it's only money
It won't set you back so bad
[Verse 3]
Plus they tell me
That I'll be hired on by spring
I've already hocked off all my clothing
With you mother's diamond ring
[Verse 4]
If you'll forgive me
Oh I'll get it back so soon
Just need somewhere safe and warm
Can't you spot me for a room
[Chorus]
Another day goes by I guess
And I can't tell it from the last
And maybe if I'll keep myself from looking back
I'll see my ship coming on in
[Verse 5]
Oh god
Won't you send me someone kind
Who don't rough me up or lie
Leave me better off this time
[Verse 6]
Someone gentle
Who don't pound on all my scars
Who don't beat my battered heart
I do that plenty on my own
[Chorus]
It's always two steps back
And another off the track
And can I get the chance to take a crack
Breathing on my own
[Bridge]
There's a light that shines prettier than I have ever seen
From them golden fields and amber hills that haunt me in the wake
From my dreams
And I feel calmness
Washing over me
And I don't wanna break
And I don't wanna break
And I don't wanna break
[Interlude]
[Verse 7]
And I'm so tired
Just wanna sleep off all the hurt
I've sold the corners of my body
With the lessen myself worth
[Verse 8]
If you'll forgive me
Oh I'll get you back so soon
I'll just need somewhere safe and quiet
It's way too loud here in this room
[Chorus]
Another day goes by I guess
And I can't tell it from the last
And maybe if I'll keep myself from looking back
I'll see my ship coming on in
[Bridge]
There's a light that shines prettier than I have ever seen
From them golden fields and amber hills that haunt me in the wake
From my dreams
And I feel calmness
Washing over me
And I don't wanna break
And I don't wanna break
And I don't wanna break
I think first verse is
Oh mama
Won't you help me up the road
Tuck a C Note in my coat
So much less than I am owed
Doing the lord's work yet again
End of v 7 = with the last of my self worth.
Thanks for lyrics man.
I ❤ HKD , eased my addiction pain and shines a pulsating light on our lives fading hopes and still sadly kept dreams.

This song is keeping me from burning bridges and my life down
It's the opposite for me. I immediately become a victim of my own self-destructiveness.
You speak strong words my guy. I appreciate the healing and wish you the best on your journey 🤘
