Taylor Austin Dye - Rest in Peace (Official Music Video)

Written by: Taylor Austin Dye, Chris Utley, Nicole Croteau
Directed and Edited by: Randy Shaffer
Jay Michael Adams, 35
Kentucky born
And he’s survived
By his wife
And his 3 boys
Good lord
Plain wooden casket
Peace lilies in a wicker basket
Dry eyes
It’s no surprise
He was livin on borrowed time
Who did it?
Who done did it?
Somebody took one for the team
Who did it?
Who done did it?
Never gonna find out it was me
She called me up, at a quarter past 3
Big sister he hit me
Enough is enough, said gimme 15
Cause blood’s thicker than whiskey
I waited long enough till he was blackout drunk
Cinder block on the pedal, threw him in his truck
Ashes to Ashes
And Dust to Dust
Who did it?
Who done did it?
Never gonna find out it was me
Who did it?
Who done did it?
We’ll take it to the grave baby rest in peace
His mama’s still crying
And the preacher keeps on lying
No he was not
A man of God
Cause he’d been caught too many times
He was a thief and a cheater
A natural born deceiver
But the moment that he beat her
His ass was mine
I don’t claim to be a saint but it didn’t feel like sin
It felt like he got what was coming to him

[@MrKennedyre1984]

This song is practically the song that every elder sibling is ready to do for their younger no matter what happens they've got their younger siblings back

[@staceydykeman2736]

In my case I’m the little sister that has my big sisters back.

[@brandonjones1386]

Amen. I can attest that if my baby sister called me up with news like this I'd be on my way before the phone hung up. "I've got a .45 and a shovel. And I doubt anyone would miss you."

[@MrKennedyre1984]

I'm the older brother to 4 sisters if I received a call like she did in the song they wouldn't be able to find his ass because they'd be too many places they'd have to look

[@taminelson2578]

Right!!! Im game any day for mine

[@chrismoss9060]

Yeah but not if your brothers are abusive piece of trash which, unfortunately mine was

[@Abby45410]

I left my abusive ex last year and my big brother was just like this song. He has been my protector since I left him. Every time I went to the police he was my rock through the entire thing. Absolutely love this song. Don't ever doubt a big sibling protector streak. Thank you for this song

[@georgemelvin7187]

Smiles, hi Abby 🌺😊

[@kenziex4941]

Proud of you❤

[@darlenetreadwell3696]

Same here, it was my big brother that backed his truck up to my ex's place while was he in jail, he is still the one I go to for everything.

[@Abby45410]

@@darlenetreadwell3696 my big brother is my rock. He isn't my blood brother. But I see him as one. Ever since we became friends he's been my biggest supporter on everything.

[@ameliasmith2669]

Hey I kind of know how you feel I was with abusive ex for two-and-a-half years because I was scared to leave and then eventually I got the courage to leave he physically verbally and mentally abused me so and I am still dealing with trauma from that relationship and it has been over almost two years

[@leighiacrow8772]

Normally when a song is strung out on tiktok by time its released it doesn't live up to the hype but this is NOT one of those times. This is going to be on repeat for awhile.

[@TaylorAustinDye]
