LYRICS:
I got turned around in some little town
Iâd never been to before
Working my way through a middle of June
Midnight thunderstorm
There was something in the headlights
That stopped me on a dime
Well she was scared to death
So I said climb in and in she climbed
Oh Yeah
Well she was bruised and broke from head to toe
With a tear in her blood stained shirt
She didnât tell the whole truth
But she didnât have to I knew what had happened to her
I didnât load her down with questions
That girl had been through enough
I just threw it in drive
Looked in those eyes
And asked her where he was
I donât know if heâs angel
Cause angels donât do what he did
He was hell bent to find the man behind
All the whiskey scars I hid
I never thought my day of justice
Would come from a judge under his seat
But I knew right then Iâd never get hit again when he said to me
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Well I knocked and knocked and no one came
So I kicked in his double wide door
I let the hammer drop before he got to that twelve he was reaching for
I didnât try to hide my pistol
I didnât even try to run
I just sat on the porch smoking one of his cigarettes
And waited for the cops to come
I donât know if heâs angel
Cause angels donât do what he did
He was hell bent to find the man behind
All the whiskey scars I hid
I never thought my day of justice
Would come from a judge under his seat
But I knew right then Iâd never get hit again when he said to me
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Whoa
Have mercy on me Lord
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me Lord
Itâs been sixty months
And she still comes to to see me from time to time
It was worth the price to see a brighter side of the girl I picked up that night
And I might be here forever
It ainât paradise thatâs true
But itâs a whole hell of a lot better
Than the place I sent him to
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Have mercy on me lord
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck

Hardy, I want you to know that as a 60 year old woman, what you expressed in this song resonates with a lot of women and men. From the perspective of a woman, you hit the nail on the head with the 2 lyrical lines, "I just asked her where he was" and "wait in the truck". Those 2 phrases are so powerful when a woman has been beaten and hunted down by someone. From a man's perspective, there are men out there that have NO patients for someone who beats a woman and want to do what you portrayed in this song. It is lyrical GOLD and touches both men and women deeply.
And I am one of those men who has no patience for a man who touches a woman or a child. I'm 63, old school
I grew up with four older sisters and it was in stilled in me by my father to never raise a hand to a woman. I have a daughter that knows her older brothers and I will always say wait in the truck.
Exactly why they keep writing these songs over and over again.
I agree totally
17yrs old, that is how my parents are raising me. I fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it.
This legitimately might be the best country song written in the last 10+ years. Need more of this instead of trucks, beer, girls, etc. Way to go HARDY
It should get a Grammy.
Very well written and delivered
Itâs good but Morgan Wallen is better
Totally agree!
Literally a truck song
I kinda love that they don't fall in love at the end. He saved her and expects nothing and that's beautiful.
đŻ
đŻ
Thatâs Godly đ
It's payment enough to get that guy out the gene pool
My sister and I said the exact same thing when this song came out! We were both married to abusive men, in our 20âs. It was almost the unspoken norm in small town, Okla. Fortunately, we had each other for support and recognizing not only our self worth, but the emotional damage it would cause our children, growing up in that environment. We were lucky, we got out, went to therapy, and learned what a healthy relationship is! Not everyone is that lucky. More importantly, not every battered woman is the stereotypical, uneducated girl living in a trailer, married to a whiskey fueled abuser. My hell was a 3,800 sq. ft. home that looked like heaven from the outside.
Amen to all the people who can get out of an abusive relationship. God bless.
This type of storytelling from Hardy is keeping country alive. He will go down as a legend
my book says he already has
have you never listend to zach bryanđ
Thatâs a fact
A legend? That's a brainwashed hardy fan right there lol bro doesn't even do a mil streams... shhhhh just cause u enjoy it doesn't mean everyone does. Amd clearly they don't. When he's know as Morgan's opener lol
@@RK-10 bro what makes hardy a legend is that heâs not catering to the trends heâs putting out music that he likes. Heâs content being a song writer and his artist platform is just a way to express himself if a song goes #1 thatâs great but heâs not stressing over it. Plusâs with 11 number one songs out there Iâm sure thereâs a few hardy songs u like even if heâs not singing.
I am a father with 4 daughters and an ARMY vet, so trust me, this song resonates. If someone puts a hand on one of them I would gladly sit in the cell. Thank you for some real emotion.
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service, God Bless you.
Two sides to every story. My sister was very abusive to her kids dad. Bragged about it to our family, but with other people, she made herself to be a victim. I disagree with what he did because he wasn't man enough to go talk to find out what happened. If that was my son and some punk ass stranger who didn't know my son killed him. He wouldn't have made out of jail, because I would have put a hit on his head.
@@ginohunter3198 No doubt there are folks who lie. I was talking about if this was my daughters. If someone put hands on them, they would be on the buisiness end of me. No "hit" put on them. Just me. The way I was trained. Then I get to see the lights go out right before I go. World of difference though. I know how to clean up.
Im sorry, I hear what you are saying BUT sometimes our kids make bad mistakes and should deal with the consequences. They can stay or leave. IF it comes down to it, hypothetically no body, no crime.......................
This was me, but it was my brother who saved me...Thank God he didn't kill him and ended up instead of retiring from the Army & becoming a LEO, saving other #dv victims!! My brother is my HERO!!đđđ€
Such a haunting song.
Both Hardy and Lainey create such vivid images with their voices
"I never though my day of justice would come from a Judge under the seat" is peak songwriting, if you understand the reference. Genius lyric.
My favorite line as well: Lainey sings the heck out of it. Been trying to figure out that reference though!
@@thebenjichord1599 The Judge is a line of revolvers made by Taurus Firearms. In the video, he carries a revolver, presumably that one.
@@billatras wow , love that. Donât get that kind of detail in music these daysđ
When I heard that part I was literally yelling! Such a golden lyric
Believe... taking a REST....while being that person, and understanding the situation not proud of it we all have a choices..
WOW!!! ANYONE that has been a part of the abuse, feels EVERY word of this song. I am a 76 year old woman and the tears of healing flow because of this song.
My brothers were the ones that saved me and my 5 little boys.
Thank you. :)
So happy you are safe â€â€â€
Much love too you the lady I'm with a been hurt like you
This song is amazing. I was in a very abusive relationship. Not just physically but emotionally, mentally and verbally. The physical part hurt but those wonds heal. The emotional and verbally abuse was the worst part. It always stays with you. I'm so sorry Glory Bee it happened to you.. so glad you got away from that and your brothers saved you.
My moms brothers saved her. Shhhhhhh đ
Hello đ how are you doing?
This song and video had me sobbing. It took me 14 years to escape the maker of my whiskey scars. My brother begged me to wait in the truck..Thank God neither of us had to. Thank you Hardy and Lainey. Opened up those old whiskey scars, and made me even more thankful for the life that I have now.
SHOUT OUT TO THAT JUDGE......UNDER THE SEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....MUCH LUV HARD....TIMELESS MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song gives me chills!
I want part 2, the prequel where his mom tells him as a kid to âstay in the truckâ while she runs into their house to grab what she can while his dad is out of the house. Unfortunately dad shows up and puts a stop to mom leaving. đąNext scene is the police officer saying âstay in the truckâ while two bodies are being rolled out of the house on stretchers.
He couldnât save his momma, so he vowed if he could ever save anyone else from that fate, he would do it at any cost.
Damn read ur comment n I had the chills
This needs to be the top comment
Genius.
Yes 10000% yes
Omg your as dramatic as my gf wishes her life was... not hating its actually pretty creative you could direct that video....
Iâm a huge HARDY fan and Iâm also a survivor/overcomer of domestic violence. This one truly means a lot, more than words can say.
Literally crying ! Iâve never felt more heard from a song !
Glad you are ok
I am also a survivor. I am thankful for the message he sends in this song. đ
I am also a Survivor of Domestic violence! My life was nearly taken in 2020 in the presence of my children.. I was told I'd never walk again.. I was in the hospital for 3 months, sent to the Mayo clinic..I'm still in physical therapy and still struggle daily with the now many chronic conditions that I face everyday, but I thank GOD every single day that I'm still alive and here to be a Momma to my babies! This song did way more than hit home! Way to go HARDY, this song will touch many lives! Keep on keeping on my fellow WARRIORS!đŻâ€
Prayers to you and your children Brooke. May God be with you.
This is how any MAN would handle it. đŻ
This song is so desperately needed. In recent years hatred towards women, especially women leaving abusive guys has skyrocketed. Hardy, I am grateful for you having the courage and being a REAL MAN to release these lyrics! I hope that you know how many women this helps! Country music needs to encourage REAL MEN like this!
Not sure what you mean in recent years....I'm a mam and I now have full custody of my 2 daughters...I was hit in the face at least 10 12x in 2 years never responded....never...I wasn't raised like that and I never should've told her bc she took advantage of it...not all men are bad..it's an unfair lable...she abandoned them 3 years ago and it seemed all the women judge could do to give me custody...men are the ones who are hated and tried to make obsolete by this sick modern culture...I love my daughters I live women and anybody who acts like a human being..and i am a real man
âIt ainât paradise thatâs true, but itâs a whole hell of a lot better than where I sent him toâ GOLD HARDY, GOLD
@nkr dinla ugh đ Iâm Iâm sorry sorry sorry đ canât talk talk to you
â@nkr dinla
wooo
Yes exactly what you said! Ooooh gives me the goosies !! As J lo calls them
@@zztoxicxkandyzz Iâm
I can't stop crying. I was that woman years ago. So beaten down and feeling helpless. I stuffed bags full of what I could carry, got my 2 daughters, and ran away. It was hell and he tried to get me back, but I put a no trespass out on him, and he left me alone. Not all women are that lucky. This video was powerful and beautifully sung.
He's singing about an unrepayable Act of Mercy. What's really heartbreaking is that it needs to get to that point in this country dealing with some men, so called. (& apparently some women too.) Bless you darlin'. I've been there.
Act of mercy in the moment. So beautiful!
Good on you for taking those steps. Hopefully it keeps the cycle broken for your children.
Good bless you Angel!
I hope and pray you're doing better now miss, God bless you
God bless and protect the ones who stand up for justice when justice hides.
â€
THE TRUE HEROES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....MUCH LUV B.MAC.7858...
Anyone that does this in defense of another person beaten and broken should not go to jail!!!!!
I agree I've NVR met a man tht did wat Hardy did.
Oh but the judges don't care about that
I understand what your saying but you dont know the entire story...3 sides of what happened ..hers his and the truth...there are not many men that just go around and beat shit out of women bc their dicks too small...if it is then all that is this song is justified...but not usually
I'm a domestic violence survivor and this affected me. It describes my life. My ex choked me out and caused permanent damage to my esophagus and I can't eat . I was on feeding tubes for 5 Years. I now had a surgery that connected my esophagus to my small intestine so I can eat some things. I'm lucky to be here. I'm writing my story. I'm a survivor through Christ. Bless this man and his message. God bless you all.
God bless you and Amen
So very sorry for the horror you went through. I also have been abused.
Iâm so sorry. You are so worthy, I wish you knew. That man is sick. I canât believe this happened to you đą
i did it.... god bless you and how you have came out of what we are lucky to come out of....I am i domestic violence and mental abusurer survivor..
I am so very sorry you went through such a horrific ordeal. I'm sorry to all the women who deal with this cowardly act either presently or in the past. It angers and saddens me as a man that this happens so much in our society. We as men need to do better! Protect, encourage, and built up women, not abuse and take advantage. I hope you have found peace now, and for all those still going through it, I hope peace will soon find you.
I am a survivor of a horribly physically abusive relationship. When I got wheeled into the ER after days of being beaten with 2 broken bones, basically no hair and a busted up face, the doctor said I looked like a war veteran. It was a war. This song to me is amazing. All of us in DV at one point or another prayed or wished for a savior. This song got me. So strong. So powerful. So. It's real life, folks. So amazing.
I'm with you girl! :) Glad you are a survivor!
A random guy coming to shoot your abusive bf is not real life.
Same...cold chills it hit so close
ditto - this guy should never have gotten time
Iâm so sorry you went through that.
when my daughter gets married, I will make sure her partner listens to this music. It will be my subtle warning to him.
Or Iâll just be sitting here cleaning this ol gun
YESSSâ@@craigredmon8930
If your daughters dumb enough to not pick up on the signs. She's probably just as toxic as him
Lol my daughter 8 her older brother 30.he said when she 10 he's 5:01 teaching how to use a gun. as her mother I've been teaching her self defense to protect herself.becuase we can't always be with her.but if I can protect , orange is not my color but I'll wear it if need be.
Believe me, if your screen name says anything about you, no man will be afraid of you when he comes for your daughter.
As a once abused woman, THIS is an anthem
Sorry to hear that. I hope everything is well now. This song, as a male hits me too because I had my cousin going through this for 2 years. She didn't talk about it as she was afraid of him causing more pain. Once we found out. Poof! Gone. Never to be seen again. Now she's married to a great man. 3 kids going on a fourth. Me personally getting my hands on him wouldn't hesitate to at least put a GOOD beating on him. I love my cousin and I deeply respect the women who dealt with such pain. I just ask. Please speak up to close family or friends. Let it be known. Sorry about the rant but I saw your post and it just ticked me a bit. Hopefully everything is well.â€đđœ
To entice men you don't know to kille your "abusers" in cold blood? No wonder men are staying single.
God bless đ you dear!!! I hope things are much better in your life?
Good job making it out somewhat ok
amen girl. if their wasn't the lord above. this would be justice. from another abused lady. found great guy 2nd time around 30 yrs
This song touched my SOUL. Coming from a woman who was nearly taken from this world by the hands of a man who said " he loved me" this brought me to tears and I NEVER cry. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this song. It's so comforting knowing that there are still men in this world who stand up for those of us who have had our voices ripped away from us. I lost 11 years to torment but gained the ability to see abuse from a mile away. Keep writing these because the world needs to hear it!! đđđ
Hello Lynn đ hope you had a great weekend??
Iâm so sorry you had to go through that a man should never lay a hand on a woman praying for you
I couldn't have said this better myself. I lost almost 7 years but I did get away from him and it has made me see people (men and women too) who are abusers and who have been or are being abused. If anyone sees this that is going through this, you can get out. There are people to help that will keep you safe - please research well and find out your options for your area. Prayers and be safe all!!
What u have written here honey is 100% true.. This song hit me in a way nothing else has. Sorry this happened to u and many OF us. I'll never let a man do that to me again. As I'm sure u won't either. đ
I'm so in agreement with you I cried the same way the very first time I heard this song. And felt such a relief to know that someone actually had enough heart and soul to put into words that we as women need a voice of reason to speak up for us especially when when we're not able to. At least I made it through it 14 stab wounds and I'm still here today. A stronger and better person with an eye for danger.
Hands down one of the BEST SONGS I have listened to in YEARS!!!
We love this song. I am a Black female. I have never been in a DV situation but I now far too many women who have. I was never so proud of my husband as I was that Christmas morning when he beat our neighbor's arse. The guy first beat his wife bloody. When their son (on his 18th Christmas birthday no less) tried to intervene, he started chasing the boy with a tire iron. I shouted for my AF vet husband, but did not expect the beatdown he gave the guy, who was white. Thankfully our neighbors stood in solidarity with my husband. We lived in a very diverse neighborhood. All the races came together and said no to DV. The police took the abuser away. She and her son moved back to her home state.
Much L&R as it should bee!!
This song choked me up every single time I hear it. I have flashbacks from my childhood. I'm a father of two young ladies and I'll never allow my girls to suffer a man like that. I won't stand by and watch it happen to a stranger either. Incredible song.
Can we talk about how this song is genuinely about what we all wish we could do to people like this
But to spend decades in a cell? No. Hell no.
Dam straight, right on!
đ
@@gorvlivin 60 months ain't decades. đ€·ââïž
No.
For every survivor of DV out there, thank you Hardy.
When he waited for the cops to come he's a real one đŻ
I relate to this song so much. MANY TIMES I prayed for help. Many times I wished someone would save me. It's not always simple to get out of these situations. I used to believe no one would love me, that I couldn't do any better. I still struggle with myself. But I could never let another man beat me. This is absolutely my favorite song! I cry Everytime I hear it. But I love it!
Love this song. I am a DV survivor. My husband nearly took my life in March of 2020. I was in ICU for weeks.. He was sentenced in November of 2020 to prison. Luckily our neighbors called the police that night. Saved me and our 2 children. đ
*edited to say- If you are a victim of domestic violence, please reach out to someone. If you have to ask yourself if youâre in an abusive relationship, chances are, you probably are. You arenât alone in this fight. There is a light at the end of that tunnel. We do recover đ
Youâre a strong woman
haha
Youre amazing â€ïž
@Pat Comer Thank you! đ
@@lucas5620 Thank you đ€
Country music is supposed to be written and sung exactly like this! Its how Johnny, Willy, Waylon, George and all the other greats have done it! Awesome
â€
Underrated comment
And Hank Williams
Preach it bud. This is what I have been missing from Country Music.
Yessss ! Yesss! Yesss! God Bless us all!
I hope this song makes it inside to all the heros.
This song hits home, we survived domestic violence and abuse. This song resonates with me so damn much.
You were beat by your husband or your wife? Either it's lol.
I heard this for first time on CMA awards. As a DV survivor it was very triggering for me in a good way. I left 23 years ago when I was 34. He died last year. This song made me realize I donât have to be afraid anymore. I have lived with a slow burn of fear since I left. Thank You Hardy (and Lainey) for helping me breathe again.
I must confess this dude sings very good songs that touches the soul of man
I actually feel for DV survivor...it's not an easy way to live...it can actually make you commit suicide when you have put in all your effort to make it work... I'm sorry if i may ask l, what really failed in yours?
God bless you sister.
You're safe now, baby. You're safe.
"a slow burn of fear since I left," I think every DV survivor can relate; you can physically leave and mentally heal, but that fear is in the back of the mind.
This took some balls to write. Great job.
If you like this, check out Yvette by Jason Isbell.
A great song. I'm looking to write Lainey's side
Does he have a new album coming out or no?
@@jack-of-all-trades1234 I think I heard in an interview itâll be out before the years up.. We just passed the 2 year anniversary of a rock so I hope itâs soon
These stories need to be told.
I'm not the biggest country music fan I'm more of a metal head and rockabilly kind of guy but I will say as an abused child who was too young to tell my loving mother who never saw justice âïž from a judge under a seat against our scard whiskey maker to wait in the truck this song made me weep like a broken child and I'm almost 30 years old so thank you Mr. Hardy.
God Bless you
I love this song and I'm christian and god bless you đ hardy
Yeah, real Christian to kill some stranger in cold blood in his own home over what some woman you just told you claims, lol.
This song hits hard. Iâve been that woman walking down the road, hurt and confused. Iâd definitely call her rescuer an angel. (Angels in the Bible were warriors, why not a modern day warrior angel with a truck.) â€ïž Love this song so much. Thank you for bringing attention to domestic violence with your powerful song.
â@@hardy7310 this song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.....thank you for this it's good to know there are still good men out thereâ€
Same đą me and my now husband cried we were both abused before we found eachother
But when we were in it we didn't see an out until we both stood up for eachother and now we here happily married 15 years later thank you God is all I can say â€â€
And Thank you to the two who sang this story oh so well †one for the history books
As soon as I hear her sing I lose it⊠beautiful song
You're right, the protag of the song is an angel to me, an avenging angel (and such a subset is in the Bible).
If this song doesnât receive every possible award then fuck the industry. Hands down most beautiful song Iâve ever heard. The tone of his voice, the music, the lyrics. MAN STRAIGHT FIRE.
It's an amazing song, and Lainey Wilson was the perfect choice for the female vocal. She's the future of country music.
AGREED 100%
I was born in 90 and this brings me back to the music I was raised on. Love it!
đđđKane and sound like sh****hit. Kane Brown has no idea what country music is. He simply got into the easiest genre of music that would accept him! Kane Brown is a joke and he should be permanently banned from singing country songs on CMA/ACM awards
Ya miss spelled STRAIT
Jesus, have mercy on me. Because in this circumstance, he would have had to go. Iâve got your back!!
Let me put this into perspective for all you..hip hop and dance music my whole lifeâŠafter listening to this song 500 times Iâm now a country music fan for life..
Continually blown away by the depth and range of HARDY's songwriting abilities.
It always blows me away that his sister was the one who really wanted the music dream. He was clearly born for this đ
hits the heart my friend facts all the way around he speaks the truth
Can attest to this, that song was amazing
He is amazing
Best Country Song in years.
Heard this on my radio driving on the interstate. Had to pull over, I was sobbing. As a DV survivor, this song hit me hard. I left because I knew if I didnât, I was going to die. Then I became a police officer and was able to help other victims who were too terrified and broken to help themselves. Thank you HARDY! Domestic violence has to be stopped, even if, sometimes, itâs from a judge under the seat.
All the people, cops included, around here share your sentiment. Settle it before the cops have to. Let them be cleanup, not mediators.
So sorry to hear that. I love Hardy and hope this song can help cathartically for women who have been abused. My mom was assaulted literally a year ago outside a grocery store . Somehow no cameras or anything . Iâm 55 and this song expresses the anger I feel . Whoever the douche was who hit my mom, I hope he gets his at some point .
@@henrycastleman3778 Anyone who would put hands on a woman, especially an elderly woman, has a special place in hell reserved for him. I hope sheâs doing ok.
Thank you
Amen and glad to know I'm not the only DV survivor who was sobbing during this song!
I don't know why I love this song so much. but its my favorite song now.I hate and always will hate bullies. Anyone that preys on the weak or beats women.I hate it.
Not an "Angel đ" a true Guardian Angel đâïžđĄïž. Best way to end evil đč.
Im a 32 year old ex con who has been through one hell of a life sir, and your song had me crying. Thank you for your art, don't ever stop Hardy. When your in Grand Rapids in febuary I'll be at your show.
Really man this song and video is trash. This video and song is terrible. It makes no sense whatsoever đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđđ€Łđ how u going to kill a guy u never met over a strange woman you never met and then at the end of the video that Conn woman get to drive off in his truck. Also why was that guy trying to run to the back of his trailer when his shotgun was right beside his TV. đ đđ€Łđđ€Łđ
wahhh!
God, if only someone had said those 4 words to me when I was little⊠wait in the truck. Just wait in the truck
I f****** love this song
â€
This means so much as a survivor of domestic violence. Thank you Hardy â„ïž
Always remember, real men get mad, not violent... also your always stronger than you think. Don't put up with shit just bc he's a dude, they drop just like everyone else.
â@@stewiegriffin88Always remember, women are just as abusive, without violence. Stand strong, no matter what gender. Just because you hit him and he hits you back does not make you a victim.
If The Victim of DV was Male, You wouldn't Mention Anything.
Every time I watch this I cry...such an incredible song. Being a 20+ year DV survivor, this hits home, hard.
Such a POWERFUL song. You and Lainey KILLED it between the song and video. Love the line âI let the hammer drop before he got to the twelve he was reaching forâ
What a song, a good storytelling. I am a black guy who loves country music with series of story tellings. The first time i heard this song on 100.7FM in Oxnard, California i had to pull on the side of the road and cried like a baby. This song need to be played on CMA award please!!!!!
I'm a while guy that loves country
This song is a masterpiece indeed!
Brilliant let Hardy know. I like it.
Man we would love to here this. Maybe one day you'll visit a honky-tonk in the South. Simply soothing..Memphis is the bomb for the blues
That it hit you in your emotions is what separates good music from great music. Love your story.
Hardy just won Songwriter of the Year at the American Country Music Awards... based on contributions prior to this releaseâŠand he deserved it. Based on this song, he should get it next year as well. â€
Can we have a sequel where he gets out and they fall in love. Never have I been so invested in a love story đ«¶đŒđ«¶đŒđ«¶đŒ
Seriously? If it went down like this he's never getting out. He kicked a guy's door he didn't know, wrestled him down, and shot him in the back of the head over a woman he didn't know. IRL he'd go down on 1st-degree murder and possible the death penalty in several states because he committed several felonies as he comitted the murder. Besides, she would move on to the next creep right after she testified against him.
Thank you so much for having the guts to do this video. There are so many women who are abused in so many ways and are afraid to leave. Having a man stand up for them is so refreshing.đ Praying for all those who are in a situation like thisđđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»
As a survivor it gives me the chills when I hear, I always prayed for an angel that never came
I'm so sorry. May God of heaven and earth heal you.
Whereâs he at ?
Sometimes you have to be your own angel đ
Me toođą
Yes I know I'm a survivor as well when I heard this song. I cried
I'm a 35 year old black woman and I listen to this song every week and every week it makes me cry. I just love this song
Great song
I don't understand how you said that the traffic and the future of the past to follow your own by let me tell you something you look in the future and follow up and let the past few times when you find that right love to take the store away just know that it's a God sent favor because God sent it to you I know how it feels I'm sitting and watch some I've had to run in and grab these m************ off of women and look this is what I do I know it

My man wld most certainly say "Wait In The TrUcK †Would Yours?
I've said it for a stranger,, best 10 years of my life,, would do it again when needed,,,
Respect to all the women that go through this hell. Can't imagine how hard it must be.
Yeah, nevermind the opposite sex that quietly suffers from DV too
One of greatest lines in any song. "Didn't even try to run, sat on the porch smoking one of his cigarettes and waited for the cops to come" hell yeah
"His" cigarette was a savage touch.
Make me feel sorry for the guy in the truck
what any real man would do when he finds out one of ours did this to a lady
And it's a whole lot better than the place I sent him to
I let the hammer drop..
When I first heard this song I sat there with tears streaming down my face, as a DV Survivor I realized I am her. It took years to get out but I did and never looked back, the system can fail us, the hotlines can fail us. My angel came in the form of an Apartment manager, the night before it escalated, I fled to a friends with my 4 year old son. I walked in and asked for an apt. She took one look at me and asked my story. I told her, and she gave me the keys right then and there, everything else just feel into place. Thank you for this song.
I would fight for you.
Iâm glad you got out of that situation. You are strong and you persevered and Iâm extremely proud of you for it.
Me too girl. Just now.
Me too. Survivor never victim đ
So did I! I cried and hoped for the future women would have him
This has got to be the best song ever and being a through domestic violence I do so wish there was angels like this out there. â€â€
Both Of Em Our Goats đđ
I heard this song for the first time this morning on my drive home from work. I had to pull over because I was crying so hard. No one stood up for me. 10 years of my life gone but I made it out alive. I don't generally advocate violence but from the bottom of my heart, thank you Hardy for this song. đ
Yeah I had to pull over when I heard it, especially the judge or juror's seat.
I was driving home just 40 min ago and heard this song for the first time today too. Ditto pulled over waited until the tears stopped and drove home, went into the office looked up the video, cried again wiped away the tears and made this post. MY GOD Hardy, this is the best song I have heard in almost a decade. I would have pulled the trigger too. NO WOMAN EVER NEEDS TO BE TREATED THAT BAD.
In happy your outta there
Glad you are still.i did too
I'm still sitting here crying, too many never had someone to stand up for them.... no one stood up for me either and I'm a survivor, walked away 22 years ago, he still stalks me.
I love the fact that it's been 60 months. And she's still driving the truck that picked her up and saved her. Knife, change and cigarette lighter still left in the same place. Trucks, next to a dog, the second best friend ever!
I absolutely cried when I seen her still waiting in the truck...... so powerful!!!!
That's exactly what I noticed in that truck as well.
I was praying she kept it and it wasnât impounded. So happy to see she still had it.
THIS is what country is, it's a lifestyle, a way of living with purpose and respect!!!
As a survivor of domestic violence, this song will forevermore move me to tears.
Lainey's 'thank you' at the end of the third verse hits so damn hard. It's like she's not only thanking him for rescuing her; she's thanking him for restoring her faith in both herself and in people. Even as she loads up in his truck, you can see her struggling with her own self-doubts. But as she raises her eyes and sees the Cross, she puts it in drive and rolls on. That's the most tragic thing about those in the throes of domestic abuse. Regardless of how it ends, the victims are left with no other choice but to pray, lean on Calvary for strength and move on as best they can. Thank you, Hardy. Be blessed friend.
Lord, I'm waiting on my angel!!!!!
Fiififjfjfhfhjhhghj
Faith in people would have been FULLY restored if Mr Hardy had been delivered a not guilty verdict by the jury in that trial he had before prison. He didn't do anything wrong. We need more jury folks willing to make a stand for what's right.
I think she's thanking him for the truck she seems to have gotten âïž
ââ€
Young man, you'll have no idea how much your song meant to this woman..... Thank you â€ïž
So... U want ur Boo dead??? how dare u...
Jk... learn to be stronger and better.
There are so many more single men out there than women... Why... Because alot of women fall trap to Genes + Alpha Male... AKA liking the Tough Bad boy.... AKA the Alpha Lion... Well... hopefully people grow out of that and realize that security and showing some vulnerable qualities isn't too bad...
But that mostly doesnt happen... Its about the genes/Alphamale...
Sigh... I gave up at 25 lmao... I got a cat... Im good with her... Everytime I was outgoing and loving Id get women, but as soon as I started realling loving the woman... I apparently scared them away by being to vulnerable.
What a crazy world...
heh... Basically there are 100 guys out there like this man... for all the scum bags that women choose... I have to say... I have some sort of resentment against these women who keep playing victim with these men...
i love that the man did what needed to be done. in that instance. but that being said , i have watched many an ole boy get his face and body pummeled by a woman who balled up her fists like a man and beat dude half to death cause ya just donât hit a woman. well i call bs on that in those circumstances. i have had a woman drunk and wanting to beat up on me before , and when she made fists out of those hands and came in swinging i knocked that ass out like i would any other man. werenât no beating given or received just a flat stop to the fight. be mad but no one gets to beat me for ffee
@@BillsFan2024 crazed rants of a beta male
@@davehunt55I agree women are abusers also. This song hits towards Men and Women. Just so happens woman is being abused on here. No need to be offensive. So I guess now they gotta make another video of a man being abused. đđ

They date each other and then marry each other.
As a DV survivor who took our two kids and ran after 13 years of living that I have to say this song,video was kick in the chest. I've never heard this before but I'm an immediate fan. My nightmare died this Feb after hiding for 22 years from him. Our children are grown now and living beautiful lives. We all can make mistakes in who we give our hearts to but there comes a time when you have to accept it and change it at All Cost.
It's sending the wrong message. So it's ok to take another person life and it's ok for the strange woman to drive off with that man's truck at the end of the video. And people say Rap music is violent wrong!!!! This video and song is so stupid makes no sense whatsoever
Very well said, there comes a time when it's a wrap, price be damned! I know I'm male and it doesn't seem to fit but it is what it is, I got my kids out of toxicity and broke the damn wheel doing it! None of my kids will go through this cause they know you can move on!
@@rob2927 missed the whole damn point... He gave up everything to give Her a life worth living and why wouldn't that include his truck? Does this song give you the impression that he was gonna walk away and need his truck?
Same I left my abuser 5.5 yrs ago. Never looked bk. Looked over my shoulder alot but never bk. He died 2 yrs ago. This song instantly hit home . I cried when I heard. So many times I wished someone woulda rescued me
@@rob2927 I was laughing my ass off at this post. I know what you're saying. Everyone is like well he got what he deserved. Just shows most people believe murder is justice.
âI never thought my day of justice would come from a judge under a seatââŠwow..what a great line . Such an amazing songwriter!
him and the 6 other people yes
looking forward to that day .. â€

Beautiful song an Beautiful video
This song brings me to TEARS....ladies it happens to men TOO...if I had a gun ..sister in law toast...I'd just be getting outta prison this year đ worth it !!
I was a victim of domestic abuse and I always wanted to hear someone say âjust wait in the truckâ! Itâs a horrible situation to be in and you just pray Karma comes for them one day. This song is amazing!!!
Justice never comes for domestic abuse victims
I prayed for a hero too. You are not alone
Yeah justice does come for some especially when itâs done around me because I donât even ask a fucking question. Just break shit on his face like heâs done to her. You break a manâs soul and he has no fight left. Sorry for the foul language.

I wish every man had this respect. đđ»
I'll take this song as a sign from above. . My maiden name is Hardy and the man that saved me from my abusive ex husband is a Clough. It's been almost 7 years and I love this man more than words could ever explain and not once has he ever put his hands on me. He's my angel for sure.
This is one of those songs you can sit back and visualize it. No video needed. Great song writting right here.
Hey is this Ă true story song
Why do the good ones go to jail for proper justice and scum get to walk baffles me either Thank you to men and women like these. May you live free with no guilty verdictâ€â€â€
Im a 40 year old man and when I first heard this the other day on my radio it brought me to tears. This is an absolutely beautiful song.
THE LAST THING WE NEED IS ANOTHER COUNTRY YAYHOO GLAMORIZING GUNS AND TAKING THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS!! JESUS! YOU TRUMPKKKULT THINK YOUR RIGHT TO PLAY COWBOY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KIDS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL OR MAKING IT THROUGH KINDERGARTEN!! A REAL MAN DOESNâT NEED A GUN TO SHOW STRENGTH!!
This song is about straight up murder.

It's been way too long since country music had legit storytelling in it. This song proves that great story songs aren't dead in the genre and I'm very happy to have found it.
Storytelling in country is my favorite thing about the genre. And I got chills listening to this.
Itâs been a long time since radio country had story tellingâŠthere is lots of good story telling in country music out there these days.
@@ryangregohara Thank you
Let's hope Nashville doesn't do to hardy what they did to Jamey Johnson
BADASS, I've lived 58 yrs so far, 31 as a widow. You brought such a longing for protecting. Where I've had to be strong my entire life. Lord how I'd love and cherish that no matter who or what happened. We had each other's backs.
That Thank you is everything
Iâm a 11 year old country kid and I love this song pure gold
"I don't know if he's an angel, cause angels don't do what he did." He is absolutely an angel, as shown by his lack of fight against the jail time. He is 100% an angel in the eyes of so many women and men everywhere.
He would still be an angel if he walked away
I'd like to introduce her to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah angels are not pacifists they are Gods messengers AND warriors
Angels and saints 100% do what He did!
There's 2 sides to every story
@@williamwatkins6422 get lost
Hereâs a country artist who doesnât pump out music like a pen dispenser. But when he does, it hits hard. Difficult subject but awesome song. Hell, Iâm a guy and this had me tearing up for him taking action instead of reaching for his phone to video it. Well done.
My friend sent this to me because she knows that if anyone ever hurts her, he's not making it out in, quite literally, one piece.
That's cause you are one of the good ones
Dude as amusing writer Hardy is a pipe hitter, just keeps crushing it
And good on him for not taking advantage of a woman that's already become a victim.
Just to add played it for my 28 year old son and he loves it too. Pure gold
HARDY this song makes have chills
Been a year since I found Hardy and before him being on radio but he is the ONLY modern country music musician I like. Black metal, gangsta rap and outlaw country are my lanes lol
Hardy really knows what heâs doing and actually just put out his best song heâs ever made. ART
For real! Real Country has always been about real story telling. This is so different than most artists are releasing, we need this more!
As a daughter that watched her mom be abused by her dad and who was hit herself, this gave me chills. The world needs more men like this. Bravo.
I grew up watching the same stuff you did and scared to death dad would go after my sister and me. It made me realize I don't want this kind of love and thankfully the first and last guy who tried to ht me was 27 years ago and I left him and moved on.
No it doesnt need more men throwing their life away for a woman they just met.
Men who kill people?
No it fucking doesnât hahaha
amen
My daughter favorite song is some country music every time she plays hardy she sings.
lyrical genius. the country eminem
As a DV survivor the "Justice from a Judge under the seat" line gives me goosebumps every time. Absolutely love this song. đđ
That's about the only justice that works in DV situations. Courts don't do crap. Restraining orders don't work. And the police are minutes away when seconds count. I worked with a lady who's daughter was murdered by her husband. She was divorcing him due to DV. She had a restraining order, and it did not good. He beat her to death. He beat her so badly she wasn't even recognizable. Then he dumped her over an overpass bridge like she was trash. The messed up part is, he somehow hid his past, and was in prison before for attempted murder on his previous girlfriend. He should have never been let out of prison. Our justice system fails the innocent at every turn. And it's even worse for guys who are victims because police and judges don't believe a man when he is saying that he is being abused and beaten. Not bad mouthing women at all on that. Just saying. My cousin's ex-wife beat him to a bloody pulp all of the time. Luckily he was able to finally get away from her, but the law did nothing to help because they didn't believe him. They kept telling him that he was doing it to himself to try to play the victim. And I remember specifically one time, he called the cops on her, and they arrested him instead of her. In situations like that, if you want to have a life, you have to take a life, because a good person is more important than a monster. This song should serve as a warning to any person that thinks it's okay to use violence on another person like this. Because I can guarantee you, that if I was in the situation described in this song, I'd be saying, "Wait in the Truck".
Iâm sorry you went though that. I can sadly relate.
I would have given anything for someone to beat tf out of my ex husband but Iâd feel guilty for the rest of my life if my savior went to jail for life. đą

I get worked up every time I hear this song. Can't say why, but this song hits home for me. I didn't have a judge under the seat, but I didn't need one.
Same! It almost came to that for me
This man is such a wonderful storyteller I'd love to hear him and Eric church Collab that'd be something haunting and beautiful
100%!

Chris Janson and Eric Church have "You, Me, & The River". That is another song that the video gives more meaning to!
I agree! When i first heard this song, i swore it was Eric church (whom i've seen in concert many times). Together, they'd be a powerhouse!
That would be badass!
"I never thought my day of justice would come from a 'Judge' under his seat..." whoo good Lord on a surfboard
Recently left a mentally & physically abusive relationship . This song gave me motivation to leave after my brother showed it to me ! Itâs on replay , I canât go back ! Thank you Lainey and Hardy â€
Well, crying listening to this. One of the deepest songs I've heard in a long time. I was never a victim of domestic violence, but I was raped and my husband found me. He has a scar on his hand from trying to get to him. He would have killed him if I hadn't stopped him. There are very few men who would do whatever it takes to protect someone who has been through hell. My husband and I have a stronger relationship from what happened. There is always something good that can come from something heartbreaking.
May God bless your husband đ
wait you stopped him from hurting your rapist? sure you weren't having n affair n hollared rape when caught? suspicious to say the least...lesson guys women lie at the drop of a hat!
Bless you both đ«¶đ»đđ»
Your husband did what most men would do so to say very few men would do whatever it takes is ignorant and stupid.
Bless you both!
