"State You Left Me In" by Jake Worthington - Written by Timothy Baker

I was introduced to Jake Worthington by our mutual friend Roger Springer back in 2018. Jake, Roger, and I wrote several songs together over the course of the next year, including this song, "State You Left Me In." We knew it was special from the day we finished it, and both Jake and I started including it in nearly every live show we played from that point on. Jake recently signed a record deal with Big Loud, and released his debut self-titled album with them back in April of this year. "State You Left Me In" was released on March 17 as the first single from the project, and is also the opening track on the full album. I'm proud of Jake for carrying the torch of traditional country music, and very thankful to him for recording this song and including it on his album.
Now that the song is officially out in the world, I wanted to share my version of "State You Left Me In" with y'all! I hope you enjoy it, and if so be sure to go listen to Jake's version and the rest of his album wherever you download or stream music! (Special thanks to Brandon Steger of Calbren Media for his great audio and camera work on this video!)

I actually like the way this sounds over Jake's rendition. The song has a great hook and sound. Reminds me of country music in the 80s and 90s before it turned into pop and hick-hop

Tim, that song should be a hit. You are going to be huge. Stay in touch with your roots of country music. You could be the next George Straight.

Hi I’m going to graduate high school next Friday. I’m 21. I love country music and Christian music. I love playing guitar. I’m almost done for school! I like this song! I want to go to visit Nashville Tennessee one day. I never been. We have family that lives there though. We are a Christian family. God bless from Jonah

[@transittown7891]

Beautiful song my friend. Could you record a cover of Made for You by Jake Owen? Another beautiful country love song . Great to play on guitar too and has wonderful lyrics

It's all about who knows who.. I've been nominated over 25 times as a top songwriter. I've got a few on-holds for Garth Brooks and that's it. All together cost me way over 50K. Never got a chance in Hell.....

[@tonycox8746]

George Strait should definitely cut this song. Seriously man, this is a George Strait song if I ever heard one.
