If you’re reading this I see you. I’m proud of you for being here. You’ve come so far. I pray that you get the healing you need for your broken soul. Thank you for not giving up. You’re a hero to many, though you feel like you may have failed, here you are. I’m proud of you.

still jamin to this after 7 years. You performed this song with Jeremy P at my bar after Jason May died, one of my saddest but best memories.

[pacalvotan]

Holy hell. Those breaks in his voice are making me cry. I’m a grown ass man, crying my f’in eyes out

[TeamTaylor]

“Hail Jesus, can you save me?
Didn’t think so, guess that you’re busy
I guess we’re all busy...”
One of the greatest lines ever written.

I saw Arlo live a few years ago in a cool lil spot in Memphis called Hernando’s Hideaway. He was awesome & I can’t wait to see him again. Super humble, nice, funny, & talented guy. We hung out with him after the show & I’m thankful to meet such a cool, sweet, humble guy like Arlo. A few days later I found out my grandparents met at Hernando’s Hideaway & the rest is history 🥰💜 Much love from Memphis Arlo!

4 years have passed now and this song still hits the same nerves as it did then. This is raw emotion and musical perfection.

[DrewThornburg]

Blown away listened to this 100 times last few daysSO SAD that this music is not heard or pushed on the radio, exxtWhat a voice

[cclowe]

All the versions of this song this one sounds the most pure and painful.

[kellymallett]

Don't know what I would do without Arlo McKinley...you get me through those days bro

[johnnypearson]

Been listing to some real powerful music, very emotional music and I gota say this ones the Huckleberry of them all.

[wigglyturdman]

First verse had more depth than anything on country radio stations.

[fairwitness]

I didn't know a song could bring tears to my eyes. I could feel dirt under my bare feet and grit in my mouth - dried up and spent and still hangin' on somehow... I love this. Thank you.

[NathanCraig-wpqz]

Man, this hits right when and where it needs to. Love it.

[brandonmartin]

This song and this musician exudes genuine emotion! I discovered this gem a few days ago while searching for fresh new music. It may not be good subject matter for my stores playlist but I absolutely love it. I hope Arlo McKinley becomes a house hold name. Need to hear more songs like this from him please!

[micahesclovon]

Listening to it once again. Seems like I gotta hear it at least once a day. It really hits home. Hits my heart

[bentolleson]

Your song really struck a chord with me. My wife (who I am now sepetated from) helped me get off pain killers & get on subutex. I haven't talk to her or my son in a month. Thank u for the beaitiful song.

[timothyfitzgerald]

I grew up in the North Georgia mountains, during the pain pill epidemic. That is where my addiction began. I still struggle these demons daily. My point is this song is and was my addiction perfectly preformed. Beautiful pain

[minicooper]

If that didn't come from the heart then there is no meaning in music anymore, good stuff!

[lefthome]

I read that John Prine said this was a good song, and now Arlo McKinley is signed to his Oh Boy records. That led me here. wow. His music is deeply affecting. I wish him all the success he can handle.

[funnygirl]

Yes! Just saw they're coming for 4 fire ass shows in
