As a person struggling with his inner demons, I appreciate this song trying to figure out wtf is going on in my head... And why I'm like this..... tbh makes me tear up listening to it cause it hits my soul so fuckin hard.... 😔😔

Used to listen to this while we were digging tunnels. Sounded great echoing underground 12 hours a day. Head home and drink em down and do it all again. You'd feel like complete shit loading carts looking back on it we had fun.

@Wingding back the F off dude! There are over 16 million of us veterans that have served and seen and experienced more in less just several years than the majority of this entire world will ever experience until Jesus Christ comes back!

just discovered Cody Jinks. beautiful music each song speaks to my soul

[@aspectra]

How are there so many dislikes? This song is straight fire, maybe the best song Cody has ever put out.

[@npc5569]

Is because it doesn’t sound like pop music sang in southern accent.

[@ryanevers7563]

Only thing I can see is that the way it plays on my devise is that the lyrics are slower to appear than it is sung so the video needs sped up a second to match closer to the sound. Love the song!

[@jeffbeckner9]

You can tell Cody put a lot of thought into this album. The writing is at a entire new level I didn't knew existed! He knows how to write songs that people can relate to easily. I love that he did so much work with other artists like Josh Morningstar and so many others... 2018/2019 is the season for the Jinks! He's done everything off the skin of his back for 20 years it's about time a record label has picked him out and is allowing him to keep being him. AND he is part of the biggest family of artist that strive to pick each other up NOT knock them down.. He is a class act!

[@niniandsunny1353]

I called and complained to radio station today. Dude needs to be heard and I had even put it on Facebook to revenue even more fans. “Lifers” is his new one. Awesome too. 😁
