LYRICS
My friend David was a good kid
He had my back, always knew he did
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 than 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 town for those in between
Yeah, the poor folks they go to work, or they go to war
I did fifteen hundreds days in the corps
And I got back, nothing looked the same anymore
I got on with the local police, it just seemed to fit
Things have 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 just to try and slow him down
He didn't know that 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 didn't know if he'd drowned
Or if he died on impact, it must have rolled three times

Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse
Is that his mama's a late night ER nurse
And he was DOA, she just about lost her mind

David's wife drops by every once in a while
And 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'd drowned
Or if he died on impact, it must have rolled three times

Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse
Is that his mama's a late night ER nurse
And he was DOA, she just about lost her mind

And ain't it the times?

To the kids I picked up off the road working as a paramedic you see this play out many times over a career. God bless all the souls I couldn’t help. I’m sorry and hope your families found peace. You are not forgotten I carry you all with me every day!

My nephew crashed his truck and shouldn’t have survived 4 months ago. It was bad! He walked away amazing! His name is David. He survived but still hits the feel!

Gold! Lord, I've seen the world with a five-piece band Looking at the back side of me

This is the perfect example of a well written song that takes imagination, life experiences and talent to create. The “country” music played on the radio today still blows my mind on its level of popularity. Sorry but I’ll take creative, meaningful music over catchy, top of the chart any day of the week.

Saw Cody and Jamey Johnson together, what a great show. This guy doesn't get enough recognition for his talent.

The first verse of this song gives me chills each time

Holy Fuck.. this takes Outlaw Country to a new level...

Let’s blow up the YouTube algorithm… show this guy as much support as possible

I love how this song is so catchy and up-beat and dancey and the lyrics are so sad. It takes true creativity to mesh those kinds of things into something wonderful. Can't get enough Cody Jinks!

marensaffell

This song is so damn good. Is there a reason why they pitched it up? The slower original hits even better.

kathysmith

Love this song but can't listen to it very often. It hits so very close to home. The first time I heard it I couldn't breathe and absolutely ugly cried, but I love everything Cody Jinks does and if this song sneaks up on me once in a while it's definitely worth the tears!!!
