![HARDY - wait in the truck [feat. Lainey Wilson] (Rock Artist Reaction)](/img/n.gif)
This song isnât about a stranger helping a stranger and going to prison for a good cause, itâs about every good man stepping it up on a day to day basis and putting the fear of God into the hearts of the guys who need that fear.
Perfectly said
đŻ
AMEN!!! I truly believe there needs to be laws protecting the true men who protect women & children in situations like this.
@@brendaokuda2158 exactly
The song also emphasizes the need for a change of the US/ State laws to make exceptions in certain victim retaliations.
It is, itâs also highly unrealistic
As a survivor of an abusive marriage I totally understand this song. My very good friend and her 2 children were not as fortune to be survivors, even though they tried desperately to escape. An order of protection is not worth the paper that itâs written on, unless the person actually does something and then itâs too late. After spending 6 months in jail for breaking the protection order, he returned to her home and knocked down the door, shooting and killing his 18 y/0 daughter who had just graduated a month prior, hunting down his wife who was hiding in a closet talking with 911 and he shot and killed her, his 16 year old son tried to make a run for it to the neighbors and he shot him in the back. This sweet precious family would have given anything to have had someone save them. When it comes to domestic violence our judicial system is broken. I think this song is trying to bring awareness to domestic violence.
đąđđđđ
I'm sorry you lost your friend. I hope he got a real long sentence.
My ex bf had tried to end my life 2 times and nearly succeeded. Due to unconsentual sex he got me pregnant. Then when I refused to abort it he put windex in my food. Nearly again ending mine and my son's life before he was even born. I finally got away but I can't even begin to describe how broken I was. Then he even got someone to stalk me for 3 months after I got away....and got away with that as well. After all this he only got 1 year probation
đąâ€đđ„ș
Thanks for sharing your terribke story you know all too well the theme of the song so many people cant understand the seemingly uninvolved violence in the song but i think it clearly shiws he had a past of regret for having not done sonething previous and he ended up with a terrible story like yours
Did he do "wrong" and should he go to jail well ya he sure did and he knew it and oaying a mans price
If i was govornor id say all that and then pardon him
âI never thought my day of justice would come from a judge under a seat.â As a DV survivor who was traumatized again by the courts - this line hits the hardest for me. For those who donât know, a judge is also the name of a gun.
I think the biggest message of the song is that too often people just turn a blind eye to the wrong they see instead of doing something about it. Of course, the reaction of the driver of the truck may have been extreme, but, then, maybe not. Our justice system isn't exactly reliable. Great song. Great reaction vid.
Yup they get out in less than a week. An OP does nothing. Literally nothing.
I think it also brings a spotlight to emphasize the reform that is needed to the failure in the system regarding domestic violence and abuse in general and the likely greater threat of death to happen when the abuser is released from jail. Granted anything sticks to begin with and the fact that the majority that would perpetrate such domestic violence wouldn't likely care enough about laws to honor any type of "protection order" . What are you supposed to do with the piece of paper while waiting on the cops...? Throw the paper at them and hope you're alive when they get there...??
I don't think you have to agree with what he did to appreciate what a work of art this song is.
Possibly as a little boy he witnessed his own mother be abused?That would definitely be another motive for doing what he did.Domestic abuse also effects children who experience and witnessed it.
Possibly one of the greatest song ever written. So powerful
Exactly, just enjoy the song and the meaning and point theyâre trying to get across. Itâs good songwriting and it tells a story like a movie. He really needs to stop analyzing and trying to give the writer other options lol. That wouldnât be a country song. âI picked her up and took her to a safe placeâ is not a great country song.
When Lainey sings I never thought I get my justice from a Judge under a seat, refers to a Taurus revolver called a Judge it fires a 45 caliber or 410 shotgun shell.
A cringe handgun for a cringe song
@@NoBrakes23 Legit L take. What's cringe about a Judge? lmao.
@@NoBrakes23 Why u mad bro? U the other guy in the song? lol
@@NoBrakes23 found a guy who hits his woman đđ
@@NoBrakes23 not many cringe guns I can think of just legit ones or memes lol
He gave her a life where she had no hope. The moral of this is that it was worth it to him.
As a survivor of domestic violence I completely understand his actions. He wasn't just protecting her, but any of the other 'mans' future victims. The same thing nearly happened to my friends older brother when he and his sister walked in on my abuser trying to choke me.
I hope you are well now. â€
If I was on that jury there's no way I could sentence him to life. Sometimes we have to be monsters to stop monsters. Men that abuse women or children, in my eyes at least, are a waste of oxygen and resources and should be dealt with. I lost my father when I was 8, but going fwd I looked at everything I did as "would dad approve of me doing this thing if he was still around?" I think he taught me from beyond the grave that men are supposed to be protectors of women, children, and the less fortunate, we're supposed to empower those people in our lives, not hurt them or bring them down.
It's a song, it's art, a story. Let it be that and enjoy the story it tells.
It's the epitome of art
Exactly! Sometimes a song is just that...a SONG. Could it happen, yes. Did it happen, who knows? MrLboyd Reacts overreacted here.
A mans most fundamental and instinctual duty is to protect and defend those who cannot defend themselves. Period. Modern society has warped the definition of what being a man is supposed to stand for. Love this song, awesome analysis and reaction man.
As a women that finally got out of a 12 year abusive marriage, the cops did nothing for me, i wish someone stood up for me and ended the cycle when i couldn't.. The one male cop asked me what I did to piss my husband off when i called them.after he choked me out and hit my mother so hard her eye instantly went black and blue and swelled shut. I moved over an hour away with the clothes on my back nothing else. Here we are 6 years later and my ex just moved less than 3 miles away from house. Moving away doesn't mean safety when dealing with a sick individual that gets off on control and hurting you. Not saying killing someone is the right thing because it isn't. But these abusers get off way to easy most times and it's not right. Maybe if people stood up to them they would think twice before hitting a woman. It's also not just the physical abuse, in my case the mental and emotional abuse was far worse and I'm still working through and trying to heal from that. The bruises healed a long time ago, the mental scars are permanent.
Studies have shown over 40% of police are physically abusive to their spouses. How can someone expect police to protect and serve them, when they are kindred spirits to your attacker?
Amen. For me it's been 25 years. I just feel bad for our kids. I stay between him and them as much as I can, but the have seen and heard too much.
He sounds nuts! I hope the time has made you stronger. I'd get a big ass dog and a gun. Good luck, don't take it anymore!
đą â€
You can't just leave and hide. Multiple women in my family have tried and all it takes is seeing one hunted down and drug back to know that. If someone were looking to provide true safety, as the gentleman in the song story was, the only solution is to remove the threat permanently.
Exactly
Not to mention, even if the woman did run and got away and Hardy didnât kill the abuser, the abuser would just go beat up on and possibly kill someone else.
I work in the social services industry, although I wouldnât do this exactly, I absolutely understand why someone would. She would have NEVER been free of that piece of crap.
No she wouldnât have ever been free. My mama wasnât until she died
Agreed legally he should be in jail morally I think he did the right thing
Could he have taken her away? Yep. He could have. And then someone would have had to do it again for the next one. Was it completely right? Nope. But sometimes you have to blur the line of legality and morality to find true justice. And those choices do come with consequences. But some of us are willing to accept the responsibility of those consequences for the right reason. Maybe it was really more of a message to this type of person. Maybe it was simply to say "If you're doing this, rethink your life plan. You may screw up and coincidentally run into someone exactly like this." That's at least what I took from it.
She would have never got away and this guy saved her and they both know it.
As a police officer that dealt with quite a few domestic abuse cases I can attest to this fact. One case comes to mind. The scene was horrific, an ex-husband broke into house and started beating the crap out of his ex in front of their minor child. Their teenage son intervenes when he comes home, and she is able to call the cops. Long story short he's arrested with a very large knife in his possession. However, the SOB gets out the very next day on a $5,000 bond (he worked for a very prominent businessman in town). Needless to say, the justice system failed this woman and her children. I don't personally condone vigilante "justice," but I do understand WHY it sometimes happens.
Many blessings to you and yours dear
This could come from the perspective of a man who has been through the trauma of witnessing someone in his own life being abused possibly when he was able to do nothing about it and that moment with the woman on the road triggered some form of PTSD and in his mind he now had a opportunity to fix something for her that he couldnât do for his loved one and he had a mental break
â€â€
I think you nailed it.
I said this to my gf. I felt that immediately, this is a dude who promised himself he was never gonna leave a woman in that situation if he could help it.
Good analysis.
Been there and it happened a little differently. I saved her and that was what mattered. This song made me see it in a different light. I have been on both sides and both were traumatic. đđ
Iâve watched it happen to my family, I could definitely see this being a mindset of a man who has witnessed it first hand. You nailed it.
My dad always taught me that if a threat exists, it must be neutralized. He also said if you turn away from a situation that you can actually do something about, then anything that occurs after that point is on you. Turning your back on something or running away doesn't make it go away.
You obviously had a wonderful dad. He taught you what it means to be a real man. Thank The Good LORD for real men who teach their sons to be real men.
My dad taught me did pick my place to die. If I was attacked take care of it right then and there. Of course you didn't want me to die but to fight like I would
My Dad and Grandfather taught me the same thing and also don't start a fight but finish it.
Amen
Hardy is bringing back the old style story telling country music like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, etc..... did it. Lainey Wilson is one of the best female country music vocalists I have heard in a long time with her old soul style of singing.
I love this video. Cool note if you didnât notice, the truck she drives off in is the truck he picked her up in that night.
He sacrificed himself for another. There is no greater deed. Imagine the bond those two people now have. It's life altering. Beautiful song
To answer your perplexion at the end...I like to think it's because, in his heart, he's a "holler boy" and it needed to be done. He done what was right.
As a younger brother who's older sister has been in an abusive relationship, I 100% understand because even before her situation I'd always look at it as "what if it was my sister?" and I always came to the same conclusion...imma spend some time in the pen
Yep, with any look we could be cellies. Let this happen to ANY woman in my life and I will do terrible things.
Hardy is already a song writing Legend.
And his country/ hard rock crossovers really push the genre another level.
I used to only watch reactions to songs I knew, until I started watching you. Youâre the first reactor to introduce me to new songs and youâve expanded my playlists SO much lol.
I have watched a few reactions to this and I have to say this song does what all the best stories do. It raises questions, not just about the situation but about ourselves.
Dude heâs not protecting her honor heâs saving her life
This song hit close to home not just for me but for other survivors of domestic violence. I understand your point as far as him getting her far away from her abuser but sometimes that isn't enough because if they want to, they will find you. The common misconception regarding a woman being in an abusive relationship is that people will just tell you to leave him but most don't realize how hard it can be, it's where the saying "it's easier said than done" comes in. I'm a survivor but I was lucky to have someone watching over me to get us out. My ex started to abuse me only a couple of months after giving birth to our son and when my 13 yr old daughter defended me he strangled her, thankfully I was able to get us out but there are SO many women that can't. My son's father is now serving a life sentence for killing a man in cold blood then burying his body on the property and thinking back it scares me because I realize that could've been us. For all of the women who have survived, currently going through or wasn't able to make it out of an abusive relationship my heart cries for them and I pray to the Goddess that they can be kept safe since I know how it feels & how hard it is.
I loved the discussion you had for this whole song and that is what Hardy was aiming for. He didnât expect people to just pick a side this was a gray moment with heavy consequences. This kind of story telling is not captured in a lot of other mediums and Iâm glad to see Hardy put pen to paper with it for country music like the story tellers of old. There is a reason aside from writing like 10 or so other artists big songs, that when he writes like this he took home song writer of the year. Dude wrote 2 songs before he moved to music city and in 4 years has done a lot more than others in decades. He is a massive talent and boon to country music.
Not protecting her honor he's protecting her LIFE!!!!!
As someone who came from a DV home I love this song soooo much. I never wanted my dad to die but I always wanted someone to save us. This is a song for survivors! Loved The burning bed too.
I relate đą
This is deepest soul touching song I have heard in a long time. No one deserves to be abused in any form. Survived it somehow and thank God for the courage to do so đđ
You should check out âThe Mockingbird and the Crowâ by Hardy one of the best written songs of this year
or any of his new stuff, rock
But it wasn't just for a thank you. It's been 5 years and she's still coming to visit AND she's still driving his truck. She's still waiting in the truck. â€
This song is a masterpiece.
I almost went to prison over something very similar there was no death involved I went on a different approach and used my fist he got what he deserved I'm a free man too
Good for you but I did the same but it went the opposite and I got put in the hospital
@@chrisrains7714 trust me Chris Rains I had 27 Staples in my head and everything after that ordeal the main point I meant to make was I did it in a way to where I didn't have to spend my whole life in prison afterwards I was actually looking at the refrigerator with my back turned to this guy and got slapped over the head with a fifth of Jack Daniels three times so I hit the floor he thought I was dead went into the bedroom and by his surprise when he come out of the bedroom I was tucked up next to the refrigerator so we couldn't see me that's when I grabbed a holt of his throat then I beat him within an inch of his life we almost both died that's a terrible situation
Well at least you can he had to cheapshot you in my case was a fair fight
I don't believe Honor was the object of this avenging character's "country justice"; I believe, since he elaborates on the female's observable, bloody, physical injuries and emotional/mental injuries reflected through her eyes, the fatal cascade of events resulted from a gut-informed decision to absolutely ensure the ongoing safety of the victim, who was being murdered, bit by bit, day by day, rather than in one fell swoop. Not an excuse, simply an explanation of motive: Protection. Another really good commentary/reaction, and beneficial comments from fellow subscribers. Best to you.
Mad respect for a guy like that. Definitely an angel. Gave his life for hers.
Added this song to my playlist the day it dropped. my teenage sons LOVE this song, thank you for reacting to it!!
Iâm VERY split on this kind of thing.
On one hand, the law is important, human life is valuable, and murder is wrong.
On the other hand, our justice system is so flawed. Like you said, this man might not have even been arrested, and if he was he would have been sent free. Thereâs also something to be said for honor and holding a man like this responsible.
Like I said, Iâm very torn. But the story is a great one and the song is incredible.
I'd be split if he hadn't taken a life to give hers back. Justified homicide, IMO. The only thing that keeps it from being a self defense (defense of others) is imminence, but there is something to be said when it will happen again if no one stops it.
Can't go wrong with some Hardy reactions. Would love to see you check out the give heaven some hell music video also by hardy.
This song will never not make me cry. I've lived this. I've been the one to take of running in the middle of a (winter ice) storm.
I heard this song for the first time this past weekend, and then saw your reaction video this morning. Since we want to dive into it and analyze the content, let's ask how he knew what had happened to her? Most of us, seeing a bloody woman on the roadway, might have assumed a car accident and began looking for the car, other victims, call for help, etc. This man knew what had happened without asking, meaning he had seen this before. Perhaps he and his mother were victims when we was young, perhaps a sister? Perhaps one of them did not make it out of that situation alive and he couldn't do anything to stop it?
I agree that legally, this was premeditated murder, but morally was it wrong to prevent someone else from being an ongoing victim? Legality and morality do not always line up. Perhaps that is why he cried for mercy, but obviously he felt the consequences to him were worth being able to save someone else from a life of victimization. Could he have called the cops and left her with them? Sure, but our system is already well known for giving a slap on the wrist and turning them back out to abuse again. He already knew that, and that is why he asked her where he was. He already made his decision while the listeners were trying to figure out exactly what was happening.
Kicking in a door w a gun in your hand and seeing the occupant reaching for a gun to defend his home and self while being shot by the intruder is defiantly a robbery homicide case. He fâd up his life by acting on this injured ladyâs story. She was already out of the situation and would of gone back tomorrow as she always does . She said she had a lot of whiskey scars she could of left but kept going back for more. He is way over kill but Iâm sure this has happened before in this world of dumb brain people who act without thinking of the consequences. He killed an abuser and hope it was worth your freedom ? She better put money on your books and visit .
100% Jennifer. I saw it alot as a young child. And to this day, I haven't resolved it. I went through a divorce many yrs ago. I wandered aimlessly for 15 yrs. Felt like I had nothing to live for. I can see how this could happen being at the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong frame of mind. A life for a life.
@@brandimyhren6317 you have no ideal. I pray you never have to go through what happens.
Exactly đŻ

Need to check out Hardy âsold outâ that song will shock you for country music. Absolute banger
Heâs where I got introduced to that song lol. Search it with his name
@@davidnettles4734 some how missed that reaction thanks lol
This is an actual true story. The woman to this day day drives that man's truck waiting on him.
Hardy represents what this world needs more ofâŠ.REAL MEN!! Men that protect the more vulnerable people, in society, no matter the consequence
I fully getting where he was coming from. Reminds me of when I was like 18, at a party, had a little to drink, and a girl showed up bruised up. We did some communicating. Didn't have to cock the hammer, but we communicated in a meaningful manner. We actually did kick in his door, and he ended up looking much worse than she did. Crazy that is almost 20 years ago but put in the same situation I would do it again.
â€
Welcome to Hardy
Best part is the "Sotto Vocce" by Lainey
"Thank you"
Best illustrative lyric is
"Tear on her blood stained shirt"
Hardy is able to say sooo much with so little
I felt like he was driving around aimlessly, in a town he didn't even live in, in the middle of the night because he was at bottom. Possibly considering ending his own existence, and then saw her and felt like if he's going out, he's going out doing something for someone else. Not knowing how it'd ultimately turn out, and not caring how it turned out.
I had the same thought đ a deep song for sure but we need them because everyone has become so numb to true reality sadly
Said he got lost in a strange town he'd never been in before.
I had the same thought.Have felt the same way.
Thatâs a great way to look at it.
Good way to look at it.
... aaaand, now she is 'literally'. ... "Waiting, ( now, for him) in the Truck... ".. .
Great use of poingant prose and poetry.... Love it !!
I never noticed this until just now. Excellent observation!
They still got that Truck. â€â€â€â€
The term Judge refers to the pistol under the seat being her court Judge/Jury and providing her justice- not the Taurus pistol.
We all know what kind of a place her life was in, but we don't know about him. He very well may have been in a life/mental position where helping her was worth the punishment and almost exactly what he wanted or needed- a purpose for his life. They each may have been the answer to each other's prayers.
It's an extremely relatable and thought-provoking story telling song for sure- brilliant.
Glad you brought that up. I also thought of it the way you do. It's a metaphor not the actual revolver name.
@@escooper33ify correct
You should check out "Give Heaven Some Hell" by HARDY. You might also try "Things a Man Oughta Know" by Lainey Wilson.
The man with the gun "Served Justice ( Judge) "
This was one of the most insightful reactions I've ever seen for this video.
I'd imagine that a guy reacting this way would be highly influenced by a situation like it in his own life. Perhaps his mother, daughter or a sister had been killed by an abusive boyfriend/husband. That's really the only thing I could imagine making him escalate that quickly. Legally, you're 100% correct.
I definitely have mixed feelings about this song as well. Overall, I think it's phenomenal and thought-provoking! One interesting take I heard was that this man basically traded his freedom, for the girl's freedom. Wrong or right it's beautiful in its own way.
I also don't think it was just about her honor. He was viewing her life as more valuable than his own. It was about her safety as well.
every time I hear this song, it makes me cry. not for the story in the song, but for the simple fact that I feel like I failed my friend. my friend was a lovely girl, bright eyes, bright future, etc. Her demeanor dropped out of nowhere, and I wondered why. I asked her if there was anything I could do to help. I loved her. I wanted her to be ok. Four years later, I found out why her demeanor dropped, why she wasn't that sparkling beauty of my forever past. I found out that her grandfather had been raping her... daily after her parent's divorce. she went to live with gramma and grampa after the divorce... He hurt her for more than a year. By the time I found out about it, from her girlfriend, it was well on a year in her past, but I was furious. I went to the house of an elderly couple with a hunting rifle with the expectation that my life would either end there or at the end of a tube and needle. I welcomed that for the retribution I felt needed to be had. No one was home... I went to the house carrying enough firepower to put down a muledeer.. but no one was home. I left the driveway unfulfilled. I hate this song because it reminds me of her pain, but it reminds me more of my own failure.
To me, Hardy is the prime example of a good Samaritan. Laying down his life for a stranger is what Jesus did for us.
Great song. There are a lot more songs you should check out.

Hardy as quit of few #1 songs as a song writer as well.
I see his point. It takes a community to take care of each other. Once that stopped, is why we are where we are today. This abuser would just keep doing it to her and to who would have replaced her. Somethings are worth sacrifice.
He is being a man and protecting others who need it.
That's Old school Southern Justice.. EYE FOR AN EYE!!
Great reaction, to a great song !! Discussing Domestic Violence, is the whole purpose of the song. Masterpiece !! Perhaps he had a loved one, (mom, sister) who lost their battle with DV
was looking for reactions to this song came across yours and now I'm a subscriber very good breakdown by far one of the best I've seen on this song so far but I've got some food for thought you spoke about his possible mindset well let's say he lived through something like this before and his sister or mother had been abused and her life taken by the abuser that could very well put you in the mindset to take that gun in there and confront him another avenue of thought if you believe in divine intervention let's say he would have taken her out of the situation and left and he had done this to another woman and killed her maybe it was his purpose or destiny to end that guy's life
living through this as a child and going through it as an adult my child never saw it I got out when he was around a year old I would be the one going to see him often and saying thank you every time, not every police dept does what they should my dad was never charged granted this was years ago but going through it as an adult nothing was done even years later I love this song and the story behind it it's about time that this is given the attention it deserves just my opinion great song great topic
I cry everytime I watch this video. It was shared with me just recently after having a long talk with a friend of my past. Coming from a law enforcement family, you wouldn't believe how often they don't want to get involved in domestic violence. When a abuser is charged and does get sentenced, they are never sentenced long enough. My brother became a law officer and ran the dept for sex offenders and domestic violence. I don't know how he did it but I know it was his way of trying to protect those that have been through the same. And I agree with a recent comment, the guy playing the part that found this girl walking down the road, he knew immediately what had happened without even 2nd quessing.
This one really twisted you up !!! Me too....made me think that this was maybe done to some that he loved and the person got away with it
@MrLBoyd thank you but reacting to this. I went through 15 years of marriage. I was beat nearly to death! I had my skull fractured and was put in the ICU. I barely got away and drove myself with my eyes full of blood. I was puked over by a state trooper who called for an ambulance. If that officer had not pulled me over I donât know if I would have survived due to blood loss. I have more respect for this song and the story these lyrics tell. Stay strong ladies and gentlemen. Itâs not to late to leave the situation you are in. I promise thereâs a better life out there! â€
They should of given him a medal
Iâve been waiting on you to do this reaction. I really enjoy your reactions because you keep it real and are great at expressing yourself!
Love your RESPECT for the power bullets carry and pulling the trigger without the threat of life ending danger you show! Also really love the RESPECT you show for your life and the lives of the ones you hold near and dear to you!
Your real and that is RESPECT!!!
As soon as you said, âyou guys are weakâ preach brother!!!!
Saw hardy at BVJ, was amazing. I am from the uk and he really got my interest in country rock. Amazing live !!
Itâs a story about roll switching. He was free rolling down the road, and she was in chains in that double wide. He defended her honor, and then rolls switched, she gained her freedom, and he was in chains.
I laughed so hard when he says, âWell that escalatedâ đđ
Loved your reaction to this song. Respect.
One of the best country songs ever written, regardless of your view on it
I got the impression he was breaking the cycle of violence once and for all. He knew the consequences and that is why he waited for the police. He knew that guy would just beat the next woman and the next and so on. These types of men never change. And he said enough, knowing he would pay for it. If it potentially saves a life, then to him, that was worth it. I honestly don't think I am strong enough to do it myself but I have huge respect for him.
The judge under the seat some strong words
Thereâs a lot of realism through it. This song is based on a true story.
He got 20 to life. He made his decision and never tried to run from the cops. Unlike the abuser who ran like the coward he was. He was her fallen angel saving her and others from the abuser
Just bc he was guilty doesn't mean he didn't deserve jury nullification. That's our power and how we change this country.
The judge under the seat was a Taurus Judge remover that shoots 45 bullets or 410 shot gun shells.
Every point you made is on point. I feel writing and singing along to this song is therapeutic to us all who fantasize about taking out the trash of the world. A piece of cathartic art.
What a real man would do!
You do the same thing I do, drives my family nuts. The oft said refrain around our house is, âMom! Just watch the show!â
Been there, done that. I moved from one end of the US to the complete opposite and he still found me. I was one of the very lucky ones and I somehow managed to get away alive. Not all do.
In a world where we see and/or hear about the abuse of females to her a song about a stranger ending the abuse AND suffering the consequences of that decision is very inspiring. Even though in the video a "gun" is used to "kill" the abuser , how many other times is it just someone saying "I believe you." or "I'll help you."
Sometimes we take things to literally and should sit back, enjoy the music, and contemplate the true meaning of it all.
Him sitting on the porch smoking one of HIS cigarettes is the coldest most gangster shit
She kept his truck waiting for him in memory dam what a storyline
Iâve debated posting this for several days. I do live in the universe wherein this story was imagined. (At least where that universe existed in the American Southeast between 1953 and today). Some of this is from cradle, if not in these same words. âAll it takes for evil to triumph is that good men stand by and do nothing.â
Though there is a non-trivial bias towards theâprotection of femalesâ the lesson to protect all who appear to be in need is delivered via motherâs milk.
Via the same innocuous delivery system is the concept that no "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" .
Your questions about the morality of this are good and righteous. Simply put, the hero in Hardyâs story believed his actions were good and righteous,
On two separate occasions I was called upon to help battered women escape the Hell of their lives. The only way that the question of âcan I do thisâ could be answered was â How can I not?â
I would do the same for daughter. Totally worth it. No greater love than this, is to lay oneâs life down for another
GREAT SONG
AND MESSAGE
that is one of the points of the song. He agreed with you, he knew that he would go to jail, he accepted that with his actions. He waited for the cops, did not fight, he sacrificed his life for her safety, salvation... His life is not WASTED... someone else did the same for you. There are others lifes of value that you are not related too. they are ALL of value... He was a working man, not down on his luck, not a drifter, but a man, seeing a women in desperate need of help... Why do you assume he was not using logic? Because he acted decisively does not make it impulsive. There was a lot of thought in what he did. The songs asks us what sacrifices are we willing to make for someone else....
Its called Southern Justice. It was a "Taurus Judge" Colt .45.
So the when they say âjudgeâ they are talking about the Taurus 5 shot double action revolver. Its name is actually the judge. Hence âlet the hammer dropâ âa judge under his seatâ.
But has symbolic meaning obviously in this song as well :)
Waiting for you to finish watching the video!!!geeze
This is one of the best country songs ever. Hardy and Lainy are both so talented!!!!â€â€â€â€â€
My brother did 5 years for exactly the same thing as this song is talking about. He says best 5 years he ever did and well worth it
According to the song's lyrics, it's worth it, that's why it's called a "selfless" act
âWeâll that escalated!â Yup
When a man thinks about something really wrong. He will make a stand.
