Zach Bryan - Ticking

I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl
Philly by the morning and ohio by the night
The thing about a long rope is you can’t hold on too tight
Wooden floors and coffee cups
Stepped on and all used up
But I reckon that’s what morning are for
And everyone thinks they know me now
In these close minded leave me towns
But I’m too young to even know myself
There’s wheels running down the interstate
Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you
There’s time ticking on the interstate
And lord I hate that I ain’t close to you
And I’ll my friends have moved away
Some got jobs and some got saved
they talk to me like I am still that kid
The fighting, fiendin Okie son
The restless, reckless, hopeful one
Who once was proud of everything he did
Do you remember 25 long legs and loving time
Seems like 10 lifetimes ago
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I’m willing but I really have to go
There’s wheels running down the interstate
Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you
There’s time ticking on the interstate
I’m fighting fate
And lord I hate that I ain’t close to you
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl
Wooden floors and coffee cups
Stepped on and all used up
But I reckon that’s what morning are for

[@hatfieldmccoy0311]

12 years, 6 deployments. Lost a lot more brothers then I care to remember. Left the Marines, came out to this world, fucked up everything, lost everything, and took off walking from Ohio back down home to Kentucky during the middle of a Polar Vortex, a pack on my back, my dog, and I took off walking for South Eastern Kentucky to my where I grew up. I hit a night where the sleet and snow wouldnt let me get a fire going and told God "Guess I die here alone in the mountains of WV alone after all the hurt I put into this world then" thought I was going to freeze to death that night, when the sleet and rain stopped, the valley lit up and the most beautiful sight I had ever seen the moon shining down shining off the ice covered trees like Christmas lights all over. Part of me did die that night, that hate, sadness, the confusion and the first time since before my first deployment, I felt peace again. I felt I was finally home, and I made it back down home and started over and finally have a peace with most things God and I came to an understanding that night, can't put it into words, but we understand each other better I reckon

[@brennenchidester954]

Hell of a story man, hope your doing better

[@hatfieldmccoy0311]

@@brennenchidester954 I am for sure, just I was in the Battle of Nasiriyah, took major losses there, reupped and was sent into a unit that took the lead into the second Battle of Fallujah, during those two deployment alone we lost 51 Marines. Just kept loosing more the following deployments. Came home, lost confused and continued loosing brothers here at home to suicide, it all took it toll, and one day I realized everything I had was doing me no good and walked away from it all, and I walked the 700 miles back down to home and cussed God the entire time for all the things that happened that I had witnessed, and that night I couldn't get a fire going I thought that was where it was going to end, but instead it all came to a new start instead. My dog Darla Girl and I are doing great and glad she is still by my side, no one else would have took that journey with me, life is good for sure

"Cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world..." Damn Bryan, best song on the album.

[@bobbyhawk5788]

became a first responder at 18 (firefighter) and the things my eyes have witnessed over the last 8 years brought me really close to the edge, your music pulled me back, please don't ever stop writing, I know she is looking down proud of you Zach. we all are.

[@gabbysantos0925]

My now ex boyfriend is a huge fan and I remember him talking about being excited to hear Zach’s new album and 4 days later he broke up with me. He was going through a lot with getting into firefighting and his parents. When i heard this song i could feel his pain and understood even more what he was feeling. It’s still sad that he didn’t see me as someone who could support him in his journey and instead just one more thing that he was holding onto when all he needed was to be weightless to fight his battles. I love him and im sad, but also relieved that I’m not a weight anymore. All i want is his happiness. Fly high my angel ❤

[@gabbysantos0925]

Eu sinto muito, de verdade.

Separate those who know what feeling something is from those who want to feel something...

Dude just dropped 16 bangers into a single album. Most artists can't even rub 2 decent songs together on an album. Crazy how good Zac Bryan is.. (yes, i'm counting that poem!)

[@Meyer-gp7nq]

I’ve long held the opinion that The Joshua Tree is the greatest album in all of history, I may have just been disproven (ps I don’t like country music. This stuff is just so good)

most underrated song in the album

[@Lelandwasfamous]

Throughout my life, I have had many ups and downs and have gone through many things unimaginable for a teenager. Throughout those difficult times I’ve listened, and learned many of zachs music on guitar, and it has brought me much peace. I have been a fan since heading south came out and I’m so glad to see his grow and get bigger each day. His music has spoken so much to me and I can’t thank him enough. My dream is to go see him live and when he comes back to alberta, I’ll be there. Thank you Zach. ❤

[@Dominick-ss1dr]

He brings much piece to his listeners I’m so glad he’s very well know now as well. Heading south was his breakthrough and he deserves the platform he has he is a gift to this earth.

[@ski7840]

“Thing about a long rope is you can’t hold on too tight” Took me 1yr to realize… the longer the rope gets the heavier it gets, the more weighed down each inch. Starts getting tough to pull the slack in enough. Don’t even know if Zach meant it that way… probably; but man this song is deep. Starts hitting different now knowing that and how your ex could be weighing you down and the longer rope you give them or more leeway the more your actually weighing everything down. Mind blowing inner consciousness

[@tyeboards501]

Your music has helped me through the roughest times of my life. I appreciate every lyric. Your poetry reminds me of a modern day Johnny Cash, very deep, but a much deeper meaning than the lyrics and scheme itself. Your pain has helped so many through their pain. Thank you, so much, for the amazing music you release. It’s amazing for many things when you’re in a certain state that doesn’t even have to be near as dramatic. For me, I listen to your songs when I’m hurting, sad, when I’m at work, when I think about the good people I hurt, or when I longboard long Arkansas mountain roads, or when I’m smoking and relaxing after a long day of work. Your lyrics are so relatable to us of the Blue Collar world, because, we see your pain. Your music also helps my past, I was a really troubled teen, was very toxic to both of my parents, my girlfriends, and even myself. I grew up man, but those lyrics still imbed in my skin because “they talk to me like I’m still that kid.” Even family at times only think of my past when I was that kid, they don’t know or see any of the positive roles or influences I give now.
