This was me and my stepfather. After mother passed we lived our life like this. I had no family and nether did he, but we had each other and taught me how to start shooting pool at 8 years old. Never Trade those days. Others probably had more stable lives but none of them could walk into a bar and walkout with a grand in his pocket. I can always feed myself and got a little cash in my pocket. He taught me to survive, Hunt, Fish and build anything with my 2 hands.. Yours teach you how to survive on your own? He passed at 76 raising a son he didn’t have to. The best man I ever knew, he just didn’t know how to be anything but what he was….

[@michaeljmckinnon]

It reminds me of my friend Adam from Sand Point Idaho. He got a scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago. Didn’t have any money so as a teenager in the 90’s he sold ecstasy out of a bar on the south side. I met him in his 40’s. He was a chef and we would hang out after a restaurant shift at the local. I once asked him how he got so good at pool, and he told me it was just when he was killing time in Chicago waiting for his beeper to go off. He was a good chef and a shark on the pool table. But he was an awesome painter. He would go home and paint after the bars late into the night, and somehow still find the energy to go prep at the restaurant the next day. And he was a real honest dude. He passed away in Denver in 2021. I love you, Adam. 🙏

“I don't wanna bet but my father wrote a check that I bet his ass could never cash.” this song speaks to me on a different level. my father was an addict/alcoholic and was never really a father to me because he was so absorbed in his drug of choice and his old habits. all i ever wanted was a father and to do all the things we did before he fell hard into addiction and gave into his demons. “He'll probably die nothing, but this town's overdrunkard and die on a smoke-stained stool," i felt that way every day. he passed away in October of last year to a drug overdose, i made a promise to myself to heal and to be the person he unfortunately couldn’t be for me. “my father was a bettin’ man, but i got myself a steady hand.” he gambled his life every day until his luck ran out, but i’ll always have my steady hand and a good head on my shoulders. music is what you make of it and Zach Bryan has spoken to me in ways many artists haven’t before.

It's not quit the same as going in. Noticed the change of music and Matthew's face. His son became just his little boy again after he lost the game. The father still carries his injury and his face is not happy. Another thing to note is that they didn't make him look older as he aged; he remained the same throughout the entire video. Brings to question the feel good emotions at the beginning. Was it father and son time or was his son just a tool for him?

[@QuenchGames]

@@fortyninehike I think the answer is in what you said. Think it started out as father and son time, but over time it turned into something else. But the dad didn't lose the love for his son, its just that his focus got shifted. The son lost the game on purpose at the end because he was angry at his father. Well, not angry at his father, but angry at the greed that has taken his fathers love from him. Basically, he misses his dad. But after the fight the dad realizes his mistake, turns from his greed, and chooses his son over his ego. Their relationship is restored. Pretty cool video.

[@bradkirby8348]

Comment the like count everytime you come back

[@Ashuraa.editss]

Holy shit. My favorite actor with my favorite artist??? ARE WE KIDDING??? This was amazing.

[@alono9939]

Man.... THAT was the best music video of all time. What a next level performance. It felt like we were just delivered a full movie in 3 minutes. Great job capturing the emotion with that end scene. what an amazing video, truly.

[@AudyForShort]

The collab we didn't know we needed. ❤ this song is great on its own, but with Matthews acting, it puts a picture to the story. Brought me to tears.

[@patriotlady8616]

I've watched this many times more than necessary, and I can't shake the feeling it gives. As soon as he dropped the album I've been hooked on this song and couldn't wait for this video. Good shit Zach

[@virdi1992]

Lyrics, Visuals, Acting and Storyline is sensational on this one. What a beautiful,. touching, thought provoking masterpiece. Really enjoyed it.

[@illegaltherapy]

love how this relates to so many even in different situations. We all have that one loved one, that we can't help, but feed into their bad habits in efforts to connect with them. Zach's the goat

[@Shitgolfer69]

What a great way to put!

[@todydn]

The craziest part is alot of people are gonna see themselves in both the kid and the dad we all have that one bht alot of us we are also that one at the same time the blind leading the sick

[@GoodxJ]

Zach got robbed of his Grammy yesterday!!!!!!! 🏆 That was the best album of 2023 of any genre!!!!!! Even better than Taylor's. Should have been album of the year main category!!!!!!!

[@KarahganGallagher]

Yess I totally agree with that

[@gagegainey7640]

Yea pretty beats .. writing your own music these days . What a joke

[@Elsie-p7d]

Zach you don’t know how much you have changed my life. I love you and your music so much! I relate to your music much. You are literally the reason I am who I am to day. Btw This is my favorite music video! Love you❤

[@jondontv5416]

beautiful song and story telling. absolute chills watching as it gave me so much memory of my dad and uncle husting the pool table while i sat, studied, and looked up to their 9 ball ways.

[@MamoswineMain]

This has to be one of my favorite music videos of all time. Love the storytelling!

[@DarianPuckett]

From the story to the casting, it doesn't get better than this!

[@alleneverhart7275]

My favorite music artist and my favorite actor! Both of yall are absolute legends!!

[@livetoskateaz1]

Unbelievable video. Three minutes felt like an entire hour! Way to capture the essence of this song Matthew McConaughey

[@samtheham619]

A legendary music video for a legendary song, thank you Zach

[@seanpark7709]

3 minute story of two lives- that’s pure. Wonderful 🙏

[@williamdunnagan3916]

Not sure why, but that last shot had me bawling like an infant. Love your storytelling, Zach.

[@ShelbyCurrent]

Same 😭😭😭

[@ExSheen]

Absolutely awesome video! Makes me remember my dad picking me up from school to go play pool, Shirley temple beating all the old guys who thought they were good at pool. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. Thanks for bringing back the memories Zach

[@AngieVaughn-do6xj]

This was so good. The instrumentation. The lyrics. Mcconaughey. Perfect.

[@knotty-giraffe]

Zach bryan is a national treasure

[@remaxcommercialchi]

“cold-blooded killer if you ask” “but I got myself a steady hand” True song writer. Genius

[@kevindaly1741]

The story you told of you and your step dad was great. The last sentence was incredible! Peace to you, brother.

[@isaachart4]

You know it’s a good day when a new Zach video drops!

[@HunterKautzer]

That is so true i clicked so fast when i saw it pop up

[@amandacole9060]

Same!

[@MarkSoliz-oh7rb]

I don’t know what’s better, the song or video…but together, it’s blissful synergy 🙌🏼

[@MikessWrlddd]

I may not know my real dad, but when I was 16 my friends dad took me in like one of their own, all the nights we have drank together since then, and just appreciating everything he’s done for me and seeing the great man he is! It will always make me be different when I have my own kids, a lot of people don’t cheris their lives and I think we all should a little more!

[@2006matthewwrx]

Zach, you're becoming one of the greats one song at a time brother! Keep rocking brother!

[@joshuamanthei5531]

McConaughey obliterates everything he does🥊 All three of these guys are top shelf

[@kathrynbencriscutto507]

Obliterates?

[@joeydf28]

Zach has such a gift. Truth is at the root of his lyrics.

[@who6676]

Yk am from Russia, i`ve never been livin` in all this sorta western places, never expirienced all this kind of stuff..BUT this song MAKES ME FEEL like i`ve been, it makes me feel somethin familiar. That`s crazy. Zach am your russian fan, love your songs with my whole heart

[@davidwindham5804]

Welcome aboard. We love Russian people, wish our leaders would get along better.

[@who6676]

@@davidwindham5804 for real, i wish the same Cuz i also love American ppl Y'all are cool, very sad that we can't live in peace

[@ajaxSAF]

I can't convey how disappointed I was to find out this isn't a full-length movie...love this video and song

[@ShelbyCurrent]

Sameeeeee

[@eternalbeing3339]

Been waiting for it. Did not expect Mathew McConaughey. Great video.

[@miked9851]

FATHER OF TWO, THIS HIT ME HARD .........MY FATHER WAS A DRINKER AND I PROMISED MYSELF NEVER TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD BUT HE SURE DID TEACH ME TO BE TOUGH. LOVE YOU OLD MAN.

[@laura79blue]

I love that there's room for interpretation in the video. A whole story with all the feels in just a few minutes...this is is what creativity is all about!!! 👏👏👏

[@minor683]

Alright, Alright, Alright 👍 Phenomenal video & one of my favorite tracks.

[@spicypanda8370]

Wow Zach! You did it again after Oklahoma Smokeshow. It’s crazy how when you first release these songs you can already feel the story through the lyrics, and then you release the music video and it’s spot on. This is a beautiful art you’ve mastered. You are a modern day master poet in my honest opinion. Thank you for making music we can love and relate to together Zach.

[@JoelTourond]

Feels like a sequel to dazed and confused where wooderson has a kid and times have changed... Idk i love zachs songs and his music videos like these where they actually mean something... Very heartfelt, cant say anything other than the fact that i love it

[@RomanHardin]

I gotta say the song is great but I’m always amazed at how well Matthew McConaughey embodies a character. Even without dialogue. If you grew up going to dark dusty pool halls you’ve met exactly that dude

[@franciecunningham8320]

I heard this song many times. Loved it!! Then saw the video. It’s like a mini movie. There is so much packed into this 3 minute video!!!!

[@Jojoahsuey]

Just played this song with some homies at my first gig ever, I cooked on the solo. This song will hold a special place in my heart

[@everettmartinez4423]

No way! Where have I been where I hadn't this music video yet? This is straight up a trailer, if not a spoiler, to a great pool shark movie. I'm thinking a southern flavored Pool Hall Junkie/Color of Money retelling or interpretation. I love this guy named Zach Bryan!

[@Samjay724]

Awe that ending scene got me, holding his baby leaving the bar

[@charlotte-ilovemojoforever2824]

ILYSM zach!! ❤️ you’re such an inspiring person and your songs are so powerful and relatable!! i’m coming to your concert and can’t wait to see you!! ❤️ FROM: Your biggest fan edit: zach if you see this just know how much of an inspiration you are to many people! i have all you album covers on my walls and always think about how fun i’ll have at your concert!!! reply if you see this 💗🩷🫶🏼

[@NicholasJamesMatthews]

The fact that Matthew McConaughey just published his book “GREENLIGHTS”. Then this music video came out. The story and resemblance between the two is beautiful! 👌🏻

[@kathrynbencriscutto507]

Wow. Didn't know that. I'll have to get a copy of Greenlight

[@CodyCummings-wc3wc]

Going through the hardest time of my life. Losing everything including my mind. These comments! Glad to see ppl being human again.

[@Tadore2]

Keep your head up high. Work through it the best you can!

[@rakejackson7354]

Those of us whos dads were about that life and went along for the ride really appreciate this song. Thanks for taking the time to write it. Its hard for people to imagine young kids in bars now but there qas a time.
