LYRICS:
There ain't too many 2am back roads that I ain't drove on drunk
There's a trail ahead behind my trunk that I just can't outrun
Cursing her name, the man I became
And the flames are done burnin out

There's a place out there for guys like me
The demons are chasing me south

Yeah I gotta get there first
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
If I'm gonna make this work
Gotta couple miles on this ground
I can see the light at the end of the bottle
Drinking my way through the end of this trouble
Trying to let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
But all I know is I gotta get there first

If the water run fast enough to flush these pills
They wouldn't be on the counter
If this whiskey glass could hold anything more it'd be enough to drown her
Oh oh oh I'll take more
And oh oh oh I gotta get myself off the floor

But I gotta get there first
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
If I'm gonna make this work
Gotta couple miles on this ground
I can see the light at the end of the bottle
Drinking my way through the end of this trouble
Trying to let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
But all I know is I gotta get there first

Gotta get there first
Get there first

Yeah I gotta get there first
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
If I'm even gonna make this work
Gotta couple miles on this ground
I can see the light at the end of the bottle
Drinking my way through the end of this trouble
Trying to let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
But all I know is I gotta get there first

Gotta get there first
Get there first

0:08 - That door was a lot heavier than it looks.. takes a village
0:10 - we filmed this in an old garage in Nashville, TN.. Rained all day.. muddiest set I've been on so far.
0:21 - good hair day
0:32 - thanks to the crew, this old dusty garage looked sick with some bad ass lights
0:34 - Nathan usually is sleeveless..?
0:46 - Emma, the director, had this cool idea with the flashing lights. Ended up looking sweet!
1:18 - I love this part. Try not to headbang y'all
2:19 - rate the guitar solo 1-10.
2:58 - favorite part of the video forsure. this was fun to coordinate. I had to spin out quickly without *getting dizzy* or keeping my back to the camera. turned out pretty sick.
3:37 - new electric guitar.. what y'all think?
3:40 - thanks for watching y'all 🫡

Do we have a new genre now!? Country Metal? When I heard this on Sirius Octane I knew I needed more of this sound! Keep grinding Austin, there are so many people who would love this sound if they have a chance to hear it!

[SLembo-ovhu]

Every day thousands of people struggle with their mental state and some win, some lose. It's the ones who try to help themselves who eventually need to admit they need help. There's never been anything wrong in asking for help on your Journey. Loving all who struggle, supporting all who fight. 💚💚

[wolf]

Heard this on Sirius Octane.... Damn good!!! Every time I listen, makes me more.... Emotional? It's hard to explain, but I do ask, anyone struggling with the Demons... WE'RE HERE FOR YOU!!!

[veteranredbeard]

I'm an Army veteran and medic. This is a awesome song for first responders.

[austingatherum]

I suffer from schizoaffective disorder PTSD and brain trauma this song it's really hard for me I'm also alcoholic and drug addict I've been sober off hard drugs for a lot of years but I still suffer with alcoholism really badly this one's a tearjerker

[emilygordon]

I havent been let down by a single song of yours.

[nickbates]

Mark my words by 2024 Austin is gonna take right off. Dude is nothin but talent

[kyleriley]

Ever since I discovered this guy I can’t stop listening

[alantermite]

Your music seamlessly blends the grit of rock with the soul of country, making for a truly unique and enjoyable listening experience. Keep up the great work!

[joshgreen]

We need a full album ASAP
Can’t wait for Pray All The Way Home to drop 👀🔥🎶

[jeffhalfacre]

Bro absolute masterpiece when we gonna get a whole album

[PrinsesaAnino]

I've been listening to this song on repeat since discovering it. That's all I have to say.

[jmcmillen]

When I heard this song on Sirius I actually questioned if I had last listened to the highway (wife likes country I do too a little) or if I was on octane. His voice is so country but it also works so well on the rock side, makes me think we might start to see more of this and I for one like it

[TimmyTheKitty]

He should tour with Hardy… I think they’d mix pretty well.

[marcushale]

Heard this on SiriusXM Octane and was blown away. Keep your head up and if you're fighting your demons you're not alone.

[hefdaddylongstroke]

That's been my mentality for 42yrs. I got to stay ahead of the dust, cover my tracks, get you before you get me. I like this song

[casketcrewchic]

discovered you on sirius xm octane and hell yeah! you just gained a new fan! thank you for sharing your talent and words with the world. 🖤💚🖤

[heavymetalnut]

19 years sober and this song just hits home. Great song and this needs to be played on all radio stations. Perfectly done!

[victoriasutton]

Love this.Hope they here in London soon
