Lyrics:
My friend David was a good kid
He had my back, I always knew he did
And he was different than most
And maybe I was too
And hanging out with the in crowd just wasn't our thing
There was a whole lot more that we could see on these plains
Well some people just seem to get stuck and hang around
It's college or trade school for those with the means
There's never been any small towns for those in between
Yeah, the poor folks, they go to work or they go to war
I did 1, 500 days in the Corps
When I got back, nothing looked the same anymore
I got on with the local police
It just seemed to fit
But things had changed
By then David had a daughter and a son
And a rap sheet to prove all the time that he'd done
He was just a burned out, beat down shell of my old friend
And on a three-day binge, he was speeding through town
And I bumped the wailers to try to slow him down
He didn't know it was me, and he took off
Oh, how things change
And I found his truck in the floodplain, upside down
It was a hell of a rain, I don't know if he drowned
Or if he died on impact, he must have rolled three times
Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse
That his mom was a late night E.R. nurse
And he was D.O.A., she just about lost her mind
David's wife drops by every once in a while
The childhood stories always make her smile
But somehow, we always go back to that day
When I found his truck in the floodplain upside down
It was a hell of a rain, I don't know if he drowned
Or if he died on impact, he must have rolled three times
Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse
That his mom was a late night E.R. nurse
And he was D.O.A., she just about lost her mind
Ain't it the times?

[@randalsmothers1898]

We've all got a "David" in our lives, maybe not one that has passed, but one that is or was on a toxic path. Lets all make sure to tell the Davids in our lives we care about them!

[@clintjenkins846]

Dude this is damn near gospel! We as a people need to take care of the Davids in our lives a little bit better than shun them

[@jacobbankster7811]

One of my best high school friends i grew up with wrecked and passed away he was coming home from duck hunting it was on Christmas Eve and this song sends chills down my spine...

[@chaseharrison5469]

I have a buddy that I wouldn’t have gotten through high school without and I worry about him and his decisions a lot. This song definitely gives me chills when I put my buddy in the spot of David.

[@nickpellegrino3528]

Hells yes son. I think of my close bud every day. Going on 27 years now. Feels like yesterday.

[@robbiewiley2441]

I love you I get it see I get it

[@BigMarkoD]

It's been said 1000 times before, but I'll say it again... THIS is the REAL SHIT, Awesome REAL music. Not the crap they feed you on the Radio!

[@Jarrad_Fulton]

Very well said! This guy is what us real country boys been needing.

[@bmetzo2809]

They play CUNTry music on the radio. It sucks

[@jaxonfehr8542]

I don’t know if you’ve heard of him, but Colter Wall is another good country artist like Cody jinks is, you’ll love ‘em

[@ORflycaster]

I won't listen to that new crap. The ONLY thing I like about new vehicles is the MP3 option. Other than that, I'll take old iron any day. With a little creativity I can have both a classic vehicle AND good music. Life is too short for any other way.

[@wt1370]

I agree completely. Many of the mainstream country artist today ( I use that whole sentence loosely) probably don’t know how to start a lawnmower. Let alone original themes for country music. Aside from the ever popular theme of sitting on a tailgate drinking beer. Which I can relate to. But I need more - Cody Jinks, Chris Knight , Tyler Childers, Whiskey Myers etc. I’d be curious if they went mainstream if the quality and substance of their music would suffer?

[@carsondemange7432]

Raised in Fort worth met a woman in Lubbock got married had kids and my mother still around but I miss her every day. That woman was my life line when I had to call her. now I work a really damn good job very good pay a wife with 3kids😮

[@adamshillingburg2925]

The poor go to work or they go to war. Truer words my friends.

[@austinwaite5178]

Guys like Cody are a dying breed. They know how to tug at your heart strings and make you feel what they are singing about. My mother is an er nurse and my biggest fear is her going through what Cody is singing about here and I tear up everytime I here this song. I know he wont see this comment but please keep doing what you're doing.

[@McCloggie]

Songs like this don't need a video. I can visualize every sentence in this song by myself.

[@ragereynolds4374]

Forget movie, it could be a whole movie. Hollywood would mess it up though. Back in the 70s or 80s it would be a great movie. Idk If was made somewhat like Where the red fern grows with today's production. It would be great

[@StellaWaldvogel]

It would have worked back in the 30's or 40's, too. It's timeless.

[@scottbalbas7752]

Letz give him the credit he deserves!

[@1bls]

Cody just seems to get it. His songs make you feel. Don’t always feel good, but they definitely make you feel. I think he is a throwback to the good days of country. Plus he has a great beard and he was a Marine like me. God Bless

Jason I had never heard of this guy before. Amazing. Simply amazing. It's easy to see why he doesn't get air time on most country stations. He's way more talented than that. Way above the likes of Florida Georgia Line or any other so called country stars.

[@ccul8339]

As a former "David" and losing my best friend version of "David" thirteen years ago, I whole heartedly approve and love this song. I listen to it every time I think about my "David"

[@cyndisnyder6593]

this song "David" really hit home with me and my husbands best friend. My husband name was David , and him and his best friend Jeff had been to watch the Alabama /Auburn football game and when they parted ways David was on his motorcycle and a truck changed lanes and clipped the back of his bike he went off a high embankment and was doable on impact they said, I about lost my mind for the next year afterwards. thank you Cody for such a great song!!!

[@Michael-jc6pr]

im sorry to hear your story

[@tldl0101]

Sorry you went through that ma'am. Prayers up for you.

[@davidcrumpler2153]

😭😭😭

[@quentins5692]

My “David”, I lived a couple hours away. They found my number as his emergency contact first… he’d got really drunk, taken some sort of sleep pill, and got behind the wheel. His old Chevy pickup ran off the road and hit a culvert. Jumped, landed nose first and flipped on its roof. I was first to be there shortly followed by his mother. The way we wept as they drug his truck out of the ditch, mangled and crushed… I’ll never forget it. RIP “David”, you’re always missed brother.

[@michelleemerson8070]

This song stopped me in my tracks, took my breath away, and made me cry. What a lyricist you are, sir! Thank you for making music from the heart!

He moved back to Texas and was in a roll-over accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was starting to straighten out and enjoy his life the way it was when he was shot in the neck after some asshole doesn’t check the chamber of a rifle they were cleaning before a hunt. RIP Dave, miss you brother

It's a sad life being law enforcement where you grew up. I told one of the nurses at work (I work in a jail) about a kid I went to highschool with and we got our first job together. Now he's a heroin addict and I'm a deputy. She heard this song and said it reminded her of my story.

[@556585623489]

It is sometimes. Nothing can really prepare you for that aspect of the job unfortunately. I'd say it gets easier but I don't really believe that it does. Take care of your mental health and see a counselor if you start getting burned out or start having coping issues and stay safe out there!

[@jebbroham1776]

I had a childhood friend I'd known since I was 10 die at 23 in a motorcycle wreck while I was in Navy basic at Great Lakes. He was on a Ninja streetbike hauling ass around a corner outside Texarkana and lost control, went straight into a stop sign and died on impact. I got the letter in basic and it almost made me quit, but I made it through basic and my time in the Navy as an airframer on F-18's because I know it's what we always talked about doing...so I stuck it out. This one's for you old brother.

This has been one of my all time favorite songs for the past few years. It takes me back to a time before the pain and sadness. My best friend and I were in an accident one night drinking and driving. We ran off the road and hit the telephone pole head on doing 120. He was killed on impact and I was taken to the ICU. Man do I miss him and the times we had. Heartbreak got the best of us that day and sadly I'm the only one to love to talk about it. I only listen to this song when I drink. I try not to do that a whole lot anymore but sometimes life gets the best of me and here I am.

It never really gets easier, no matter if you know them or not. We're all human, but we do things that other people could never dream of. Don't ever think you're too tough to talk, because we lose brothers to PTSD every day. Your fellow FFs, Engineer or Captain will be more than willing to talk because it's no little matter what we see every day.

Flyboy207 I hear ya. I know I gotta talk to somebody, nightmares and flashbacks bother me every night and day. I thank you though for the encouragement

Cody, I have a handful of songs that i listen to EveryDay and this and Headcase are two of them... love your music and the talent that you have shared with our world. You ROCK man!!!

Just lost my best friend of 47 years, to cancer. Rick and I used to do some stupid stuff back in our younger days, and back then Rick's Mom worked the graveyard shift as an ER nurse. Years later, I remember his Dad telling us that her worst fear was having to see one of us brought in DOA. Makes me cry when I listen to this song. Cody is definitely one of the best song writers/singer in a long time. Thanks for the heart wrenching story, Cody!!!

Thank you Cody for this song! Singing real life brother!

[@iaind8902]

I relate to many aspects of each of his songs. Lost a few good friends and gained many. Truly makes you appreciate life for the “lessons” it throws your way. Thankyou for the amazing music.

Who are the 650+ people that gave this song a Thumbs Down ??? They obviously don't know a Country Music legend or a GREAT song when they hear it !!!!!!!!!

[@markmowers3599]

My all time favorite song from you. Love the intro with the fiddle, reminds me of classic Clint Black, one of my favorites. You have such a solid, solid voice. And that sound, God, bound to be a classic brother. Great story behind this song, great song writing.

Cody, I feel this song! I had a good friend who passed away in a similar way as the song describes! I love how your music is for country outcasts! All my life I’ve felt like an outcast so your music hits me in the feels hard! Lol! Keep up the good work!

Never heard a sad song so upbeat, but it makes it so much more powerful. Celebrating Davids life vs. Crying about the loss. Youre the man Cody Jinks. See you in Asheville!

[@kerrynixon3968]

Two best voices, Randy Owens and Cody Jinx

[@jasonseneca620]

Cody has that old country sound. Sings like country should be sang. Country music is coming back as long as he stays around. Keep singing Cody. Many would agree that you are what we need.

[@shawnguy67]

I know how it feels! Some songs I write take months sometimes years! You really must live through it to write it! God Bless you brother! Can not wait to see ya in Sactown Feb 3! We need to have us a chat on a break!

Cody, lyrically this is hands down the finest piece of music I've ever heard. That chorus just sends shivers down my spine. Come out to Tamworth (Australia) for the festival next year, we'd love to have you man!

[@davidbruce8509]

Unbelievable song. This is the real deal, not some clown trying to act the part. Bravo !

[@patriciamichael7490]

I lost my son David maybe not in the way he sings it but he's forever missed I sure miss him

[@countryboy3679]

I love music... I love Cody Jinks... Come to Brazil
