This song reminds me so much of my father. He toured twice in Iraq, received a Purple Heart and was honorably discharged after an injury from an ambush. Although he came back alive, he did not come back the same and struggles with PTSD from what he had to see and do. He always tells me that he lives with so much heaviness on his soul. Even though he thinks he's some devil, I think he's the best dad any one could ask for.
God Bless both of you. I'm young but my dad was old. He actually was in Vietnam. He had a temper and would scare easy when approaching him at night. He always told us after he was sorry and part of it was due to Undiagnosed PTSD. Back then no one wanted that label. I remember one time he wrapped my older brother up in a choke hold out of the dead of sleep. It was impressive but frightening lol I'm 31. He passed away 2 years ago. Keep loving your Dad forever and beyond. RIP D.B. I miss yuh.
Shit fucking sucks . He'll be that way for the rest of his days. Hug hi m and let him know every day what you said here. Tell him I said drink fucking water , pull security and move the fuck out. He'll know what that means 👍
God Bless you and your Dad. War is Horrible and like the other comments, just tell him you Love him and God Loves him and maybe he can find some Peace.
Alyssa Canales your dad is a great man and a very brave one to fight for our freedom my cousin was over there did 2 tours and now suffers from the same
I found this song not long after my family moved out. I was about 4 months into drying out. Played this song a lot while working the steps. Needed something to remind myself that I wasn't all bad and that getting sober was worth it.
@adamsnider6701 keep it! I've put together a little over 6 years now, one day at a time with a lot of help from the Man Upstairs and a room full of strangers who welcomed me when I told them I needed help.
The way I interpret this song is through my own experience. I was dating this girl and we we're happy. I slipped and fell and I believed lies and I screwed up our relationship. Like the song says "I slipped and i fell i made my bed". I told her all these reason to please stay( there's 10,000 reasons for you not to stay) but she didn't want to do it. I told her im not this bad guy you think I am, im not the devil you think I am. Im human and I messed up. I was depressed when it happened because everything I did was my fault and I told her I get it if you leave, but im not the devil you think I am. Cody if you see this id like to thank you for this song. It has helped me through that experience. If anyone is or was in a relationship with someone who screwed up just know we're human we aren't perfect. Thank you cody.
I've been in his shoes more than once. We all break, but life doesn't stop there. It's all about how you put your boots on, and take that step towards greatness, regardless of our struggles.
This song reminds me I have a good soul despite my faults life is hard choose good choose God's will trust me doing wrong only leads to a life of destruction sometimes people with the toughest pasts turn out to be the realest people Zachary Moser
not only do I love Cody but I love all the Cody fans. I dont know many artists where I can just scroll through and see nothing but positive comments and people sharing stories then others lifting them up. wow! cody your amazing brother ❤
Kayla Morris. Very true. I know he has a great mom. Didn’t meet his Dad that I remember. I do remember his lil sister went to school with our boys. Cody’s a little older. Good people.
I like his music...and i my music playlist suggest that i ain't a big country music fan. I was getting a tattoo while his music was playing, and i respect his art.
I buried my cousin today. He had struggled with addiction for a long time. His son chose this song to play at the funeral. It was the first time I had heard it and it truly was a fitting song. I was doing good with the be strong for his wife and kids and my aunt but that put a lump in my throat
My wife and I are going through a very difficult time due to some of my...issues. We've been together for nearly 20 years; since I was 20 so half of our lives we've been together. This last week was one of our rockiest times we've ever had and we honestly were not sure we would make it as a couple. I surprised her with tickets to your 6/10/23 show in Detroit and we had the best time we've had together in years. I can't say where things are going to go with us going forward but that show, that day, made us remind each other that we do love each other and we want to fight to keep us going. This song in particular hits hard but I'm attributing our reconciliation to Cody and this concert. I will never forget this concert and this day so thank you Cody for *hopefully* saving my marriage.
@@JohnnyOFarrell 10/3/24 and we're working through it and seem to be back on track to a continued life together. She is a saint compared to me and I love her for it.
Just lost my girl of couple years because of a moment of weakness. This song has been playing over n over for me since that night. It was a relationship that I knew wouldn’t last but it was still hard for me to see how I broke her heart and her trust. Keep doin what you’re doin Cody, these songs help more than you know.
brian chaput Very well said. Just discovered his music last week,artists like this are few and far between. So far I haven't heard one disappointing song or track, everything has sounded amazing!
Dragon 67 I will go check him out,I appreciate the heads up! This is the kind of country the industry sorely needs. I think Chris Stapleton has started to turn a lot of the more pop country fans onto what country should sound like and I expect many amazing artists to emerge, so I see it as a great thing
I ended up buying all of his releases after listening to this album for a week. He just released his cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and I think it is fantastic. He has 2 out of print albums "Cast No Stones" and "Collector's Item", if you're on Facebook there is a great Cody Jinks group called Blacksheep which has them available in digital format, with Cody's blessing; many members are incredibly generous and record copies to CD and mail them at no charge, only request is pay-it-forward by making copies for other members. One of the songs on the out-of-print CDs is "Walk Alone", incredible lyrics - especially the stories he weaves about the homeless Vietnam vet and single mother - first time I heard it I got tears in my eyes and replayed it a few more times immediately.
My fiancé got me out of a dark time in my life and she plays this song for us all the time. The best thing to ever happen in my life she and my stepdaughter are my everything ♥️
My wife thinks I'm a devil .....I caught a dude shaking a child ...like hard head bouncing off the car seat ...I went an stopped it I fucked ol boy up ....got arrested an she left me ...I'm not a devil ...I'm a arc Angel don't ever fuck with a child or a animal you have nothing to worry about
It's so strange I would come across this when I did. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear it was written about me. My name is 'Cody,' and, I have the 'Devil' tattooed on my back. I've been the scapegoat all my life. In a heavy moment not but a few minutes ago, I just found this track. Mr. Jinks, you have no idea how close this song is to describe me. I think I about stepped outside myself. I could share a few things about my life that is so much in sync with this song of yours. Your first name, the title of the song, the lyrical equation...and just how much I've been jinxed in life just trying to prove that I'm not all that I have been through as a scapegoat. From me, to you, thank you, Mr. Jinks. I only hope you understand the depth of my words here. Humble gratitude to you, brother. I don't have the words other than that.
It's hard to come by good country music now days. I grew up listening to country and it's changed over the years as does everything. But some things should always stay true to their roots and I am grateful for this. Thanks for the pure country
Our society needed Cody Jinks. A good friend of mine played a song of his and as soon as I heard his voice I was hooked just on his voice,then the words. We all have a dark side god loves us anyway. We all deserve to be happy.❤
I saw him at the Choctaw Indian Fair in Mississippi in July. He’s amazing. Between him and Jamie Johnson, that was the best concert I’ve attended in fifty years.
I've listened to all the oldies growing up. George Jones, Merle and Hank. It's hard to find those types of singers today but this guy is close. I've never heard of him but will listen to him from now on.
damn this song reminds me off addiction problems I had a year ago made me cry thinking about my life the first time I heard it keep writing good music brother I lost everything cause of it my best friend and all of that
Finally! An artist that knows country music!! I stopped listening to country along time ago, as it took a turn I didn't care for. But you, Cody Jinks are awesome!.. You got me listening to yours! I am old school country. Waylon, Johnny, George and the list goes on and on.. And my friend you are bringing the legends back, through your music!!
Was shown this song the day I needed it, before I needed it. Gut feeling was telling me I would. Thank you for having a way to tell my feelings with me not being able to.
Cody junk saved my life.. I moved away to leave for good.. never knew who Cody was or his music, with that said I was in a dark place.. with lots of prayers and the right music I've found myself!! I became clean and sober off drugs and alcohol. Mr. Jinks your music helped me defeat the disease of addiction.. I've even bought a guitar 🎸 an acoustic guitar to be exact 🤙 so now I'm strumming and listening to my favorite Cody Jinks songs.. one song I keep on repeat was " somewhere in the middle " then "mama song" all his songs related to me in one way or the other. Thank you Mr Cody Jinks 🤙
New chapter in life ...starting over after a long journey of hurt...met a good man with a true heart. To afraid to accept that good men truly exist so I pushed him away using his past against him. Hurt my heart to do that to him. Cried for days. Then he sent me this song. I stopped pushing him away and embraced the love he had for me. He's rocks my soul!!
I've heard amazing things about Cody Jinks, about how he is keeping real country music alive. This is my first time hearing Mr. Jinks and it won't be the last. This is old school 70s, 80s, early 90s country performed by a modern artist. I'm getting tired of hearing pop country on my country stations. Some of it is ok, but a lot of it like FGL, Lady A, Carrie and Kelsea Ballerini should be on a Top 40 station. There is nothing pop about Cody Jinks. Those who wondered where country music has gone have found it. Thank you for keeping that traditional sound alive. The greats like George Jones, George Strait, Waylon, Willie, Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson thank you. If modern country has committed Murder on Music Row, Cody Jinks is helping to resurrect it.
I went to an article to hear a new single by Gretchen Wilson and this song started playing. My first time hearing it and I LOVE it. My wife is a fantastic singer and I think you two would sound excellent on a duet. Thank you for your music Cody.
I call my wife “The Texas Tornado”. I laugh why guys say “you let her do that?” I don’t “let” her do anything! July will be 39 years married, a few more as my best friend. I knew when I married her there was not a box big enough to hold her and if there was it would kill her.
almost lost my world today. I never knew how much I let my wife down. but this song is kinda my tribute to her.. just hurtin never thought the day would come that no matter how much I love her or how hard I try to make thing work; I'm the one who gave up and let her down.. im tired of feeling like the failure and non cooperative one.
+Alex Watkins today 7/31/16 my wife asked for the divorce she has been wanting . I love her but I said I'd do whatever it to to keep her happy. this time at least I can be a man of my word.
+Leland Bates fight for your wife, I have been down that same road. if you truly love her do t let her go. You have to change the reason she wants to leave you. Go to the ends of the world to prove to her you have changed.Pray for her, pray for yourself. marriage is not something you give up on because it got hard. Marriage is a daily battle, the devil wants to tear it apart because it was a covenant between you, your wife, and God. punch the devil in the mouth and get your wife back. If she can see a true change, and change back into the man she first married she won't go anywhere. but you can't just fix it until things get better you have to change yourself. when I went thru this same problem, I changed myself because I saw my faults and realized I was the problem. i changed myself for me because I didn't want to be that guy. and in changing myself for me, I also changed myself for her. God has done way harder miracles than fixing your marriage. it's going to be hard, but not near as hard as seeing her with another man! So man up and get your wife back.
+Alex Watkins she forgave me for my faults but she doesn't want me because she feels that she will always remember and the thought would be in the back of her head. she has a hard time with trust anyways lol I love her but I lost her a long time ago I just never knew it. I wanted to keep trying but she doesn't so I'm gonna try to be her friend at least and hopefully she will see the changes I'm working on. I never cheated or beat her to be honest I felt stupid compared to her and couldn't talk to her amongst other things. she may not want to try but my plan is to show her the changed man I'm working to be.
I don’t think he’s the devil, I’m so very grateful he did his duty, plus put his heart into it. If he was a physo path. No none of these struggles would weigh his heart. Your dad has empathy. That, makes makes him an honourable soldier and good man. I hope he finds his way and stops torching himself 😘
Cody is what you call true talent. His voice and lyrics speak for themselves. He doesn't need fancy clothes or a flashy stage. I got to see his talent in person and I'm hooked! Keep doing your thing Cody and always stay humble. We ♡ You!!
Just stumbled across this song tonight while looking up new music to learn. I've now been playing all the songs for the past 5 hours. GREAT MUSIC!!!!! It really hits close to home! This is what country music is. Not what ya hear on mainstream radio. Tomorrow I'm buying all the albums and loading them into my truck! Hell yes!!!!!!!! Keep it coming!
Ive been with my wife for almost 12yrs and have been married for almost 8yrs...... I love this woman with everything I have and will never stop....... But I have learned that loving her is not everything I needed to do...... I wouldnt step up and be the man she needed..... I was in and out of jobs all the time and when I did actually keep a job, I wouldnt do my half of the 24/7 365, job we both had at home. Cleaning and spending time with our kids instead of playing my game or watching t.v...... I let her down and she told me she is falling out of love with me and I dont know if I'm too late to get her back....... I found GOD recently and I'm doing my best to stay on the path he is leading me....... But I'm scared that path doesnt have her in it with me and that kills me inside..... I'm the one who broke her and I dont know how to fix it...... I dont want our life story together to end, but if it does I dont want it to end because I was a lazy shit of a husband and dad....... Im so sorry baby....Im also sorry for doing that to our children baby...... I turned into my father and lost sight of everything we had and have ..... Please forgive me and let me show you..... Im Not The Devil You Think That I Am........ I can do it if you let me..... I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN EVER AGAIN BABY
Hard to believe after all this time and manipulation.. I gave you plenty opportunities to be honest with me and tell the whole thing. Time is a healer and God knows what's best. Yes, you broke me but I'm whole again and what I have now is much more than you can handle. I know my worth and what I want and I will have it.. I gave you 15 years .. 15 long dedicated years. What you give me??? Be honest with me and yourself.. I love you and wish you the best.
went and saw him at ft worth a little while back. whitey morgan and cody put on the best show ive seen in a long time. his family was there and he paid tribute to them like a young man should. keep on rollin cody you got this.
I recently lost the father of my two year old. When we broke up last year, he sent me this song. I wish he had more time to prove to me that he wasn't the devil.
I just came across your music man.. I'm telling my family about you it's so good and real country that I love! Keep it up brother you got what it takes to make it BIG!!
I have also been going through alot, I mean to me it feels like God doesn't even love me anymore not only bc im a homosexual but bc I have done alot of bad things and have begged for forgiveness and it seems to fail everytime. In late April I lost my baby brother by injury and I have lost all but two of my grandparents and great grandparents. It never fails. But this song completely explains me bc I'm not a bad person than everyone puts me out to be. I just feel like I ain't loved anymore but I will hold onto faith and hope to see another tomorrow and have enough love for myself to replace everyone! Thanks Cody!!
Well brother IDC if your a homosexual you just play it as straight as you can and do the right thing it ain't easy itl hurt sometimes but do nice things and feel better I was a violent man id fight any man dog cat ghost gods you name it but take that advice and walk a line keep that serphant the devil were he belongs out of your mind push him away like he's damn Freddy krugger but beware the evils my friend I hope you don't get affended by this stay strong just trying to help keep your inner monalog positive
I listen to your song all the time. when I'm in a bad mood or down for some reason, I put this song on. THANK YOU, Cody for writing this song. Much love to you and your team😊👏😘
Seen him open for Jamey Johnson June 17 in my home town Durant ok.... lets just say crowd was chanting for Cody even when Jamey was on stage. Jamey Johnson is the man and he played with a huge band, multiple drummers horn section etc, but Cody is such the real deal that I don't think its wise to have him as your opener. Jamey did call Cody on stage and the whole place was chanting Cody Cody Cody! it gave you chill bumps was flippin awesome! You go Denton/Ft worth boy! I guarantee ill see more shows. Thank you Mr. Jinks
Eric Church, Aaron Lewis, Cody Jinks, Jamey Johnson, Sturgill Simpson, and Chris Stapleton are the best Country's got today! Such rare talents that I wish people listen to.
Alabama and Combat Vets love you Cody!!! See you in October, in Nashville!! This is real Art!! Your music gets me through life... Thanks Cody, we are behind you!
It blows my mind that Cody Jinks isn't played on radio. Here in SWMO one of our country stations plays red dirt on Friday night and that's about the only time I ever hear him on the radio. He has such a good sound and awesome lyrics!
Just discovered your music this week and I think you're an amazing artist and singer! I'm telling everyone I know they need to check out your music. West By God Virginia here!
Every single song you sing has so much feeling and emotion from your soul. It is an honor to have another singer/ songwriter that is not afraid to truly show themselves in their music. Every single person I have had listen to you are now fans. Thank you so very much from Kentucky.
Songs that hit the nail on the head at the right moment of your life are always the best. I messed up, made my bed that I lay in alone now but I'm not the devil she thinks I am.
Hang in there brother. No words can make you feel better. Time is the only antidote. A prayer or 2 doesn't hurt anything either. I've been there man. It sucks but it does get better.
Cody,u are the best country ive heard in a long time, i grew up in the 90s when country was still ok,then i discovered waylon willie and the band,hank jr, johnny cash, david allen coe etc.... Man u are right there with them in my book brother. Love you.
discovered Cody Jinks on Pandora after awhile of skipping his music.. big mistake.. instantly became one of my favorite country singers! keep on brother !
One of my favorite of his... heard it the other day on The Ranch, made me smile. Can't wait to see him, Ward David and Whitey Morgan at Bandit Town ! Cheers guys
I know this is a 5 year old comment, but if you see this, tell me how it worked out. Because I'm living this right now. Staring at an empty bottle of bourbon. The woman I loved more than life itself has told me I've broken the bonds. I've broken our family. But I was taught to never give up. To never quit. To always try harder.
Wow That right there man will be the song that i will have played at my funeral. speaks volumes for a man who has had been through some shit in this life. Cody thank you for speaking to my soul brother God Bless you and I'll be listening
Cody Jinks, I just want to thank you. thank you for being yourself. thank you for bringing country to country music. thank you for being inspiration for artists like myself to keep pushing on. simply, thank you. all the way from Georgia
Cody, if this song is any hint as to how good the rest of the album will be, this is gonna be an incredible listening experience. Also, saw you for the first time early this past year with Whitey Morgan in Louisville and you owned it. Keep it going and come back to Kentucky soon.
I'm not the devil you think that I am It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand But I'm not the devil you think that I am It wasn't no gun they held to my head I got caught up believing in lies that were said And in a moment of weakness I stumbled and I made my bed I'm not the devil you think that I am It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand But I'm not the devil you think that I am [Instrumental bridge] There's 10,000 reasons for you not to stay And no one would blame you If you want it that way It might take some time But I'll show you that I'm worth the wait I'm not the devil you think that I am It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand But I'm not the devil you think that I am And I'll spend forever, do all that I can To prove I'm not the devil you think that I am And I'm not the devil
Thanks again Cody for all you do for all of us fans... ANOTHER GREAT ONE. !!! Hope we get you to come to Kansas Someday.. Been listening to you everyday in my Semi hauling wheat during our wheat harvest... Can't get enough..
My mom and this guy were together for several years and when they split he sang this song to her. Well just a couple days ago he passed away and she listens to this song over and over again because the last weeks of his life he spent them proving to us that he wasn’t the devil that we thought that he was
My son sent me Momma's Song to listen too (we lost his dad 2 yrs now and I know what he was telling me), you now have a true fan....Thank you Sir...Nothing like real country, and your it...
Oh man.... I have no words.... other than to say that I keep replaying it... thanks for another great song Cody... Hope to see you again (SOON) in Seattle
Cody your music speaks to me. Every song (especially this one and my favorite "Somewhere In The Middle") speaks right to my soul. What you do with a lyric and a guitar is truly amazing and I can't thank you enough for blessing us through song. This song has helped me (along with many of your others) deal with some unthinkable adversity this past year. Thank you and please keep them coming. God Bless!
Best around right here fellas. This is what country should sound like. Cody, Whitey, Sturgill, Shooter, Abbot, Canada, this is what country is about. New songs sound great, hope to see y'all in Columbus soon brother.
I can relate so much on this song I've done so much wrong to my wife horrible things we got into a horrible argument and she called me a devil I keep working everyday show her I love her and I'm not the devil so this song has made me cry and made me want to change my heart and my life for my wife
Man, I friggin love this dudes music. His voice, his style...he's one of the only true country singers left in this world today. Guys like Cody Jinks, Chris Stapleton, and Jamey Johnson are a dying breed. Lets hold onto em while we can!
I don’t know how many nights I’d get drunk and run the battery dead in my truck to this song. I’m sober now my poor wife. I hope she now knows I regret every once of hell I put her through
@@JordanHooton It's not the one that divorces that is always at fault... it's the one who cheats or otherwise quits sincerely trying to keep promises. TBH it's usually both who do so. The marriages where both keep repenting and forgiving, succeed.
This song reminds me so much of my father. He toured twice in Iraq, received a Purple Heart and was honorably discharged after an injury from an ambush.

Shit fucking sucks . He'll be that way for the rest of his days. Hug hi m and let him know every day what you said here. Tell him I said drink fucking water , pull security and move the fuck out. He'll know what that means 👍

So is His yshw.
Bless you little one.

I am at 46 days today ❤️ I listen to this song many times a day
That's awesome! Keep it up! They say one day at a time, but take it one second at a time if you have to.
I'm in it now bro. This song helps for sure. 20 days dry.
@adamsnider6701 keep it! I've put together a little over 6 years now, one day at a time with a lot of help from the Man Upstairs and a room full of strangers who welcomed me when I told them I needed help.
Keep pushing your ever find yourself in darkness remember what is necessary.
The way I interpret this song is through my own experience. I was dating this girl and we we're happy. I slipped and fell and I believed lies and I screwed up our relationship.

I really really like your comment
Soild \m/...This comment made my day ..im share it 🤘
Some times seems impossible to achieve specially when is our own fault.
This song reminds me I have a good soul despite my faults life is hard choose good choose God's will trust me doing wrong only leads to a life of destruction sometimes people with the toughest pasts turn out to be the realest people Zachary Moser
not only do I love Cody but I love all the Cody fans. I dont know many artists where I can just scroll through and see nothing but positive comments and people sharing stories then others lifting them up. wow! cody your amazing brother ❤
Kayla Morris. Very true. I know he has a great mom. Didn’t meet his Dad that I remember. I do remember his lil sister went to school with our boys. Cody’s a little older. Good people.
1ooo dislikes must be liberals lol.
Kayla Morris ghb
Agreed 100
I like his music...and i my music playlist suggest that i ain't a big country music fan. I was getting a tattoo while his music was playing, and i respect his art.
I buried my cousin today. He had struggled with addiction for a long time. His son chose this song to play at the funeral. It was the first time I had heard it and it truly was a fitting song. I was doing good with the be strong for his wife and kids and my aunt but that put a lump in my throat
My wife and I are going through a very difficult time due to some of my...issues. We've been together for nearly 20 years; since I was 20 so half of our lives we've been together.

@@JohnnyOFarrell 10/3/24 and we're working through it and seem to be back on track to a continued life together. She is a saint compared to me and I love her for it.
When I listen to Cody Jinks, so do the neighbors! 🖤👀🖤
All the Time 🖤🤠
Only way to do it!
Same
Yall ever be original and come up with your own stuff? That comment is almost on every music page on youtube.
I wish I was your neighbor lol
Just lost my girl of couple years because of a moment of weakness. This song has been playing over n over for me since that night. It was a relationship that I knew wouldn’t last but it was still hard for me to see how I broke her heart and her trust. Keep doin what you’re doin Cody, these songs help more than you know.
Damn I feel you brother love and freedom peace why can't we make it all work ✌️ 💪❤️
I have a hard time getting thru the entire album because I keep hitting the repeat button on each song. One of the best of 2016 in my opinion.
Well said. Mainstream is out of touch
amen on that
brian chaput Very well said. Just discovered his music last week,artists like this are few and far between. So far I haven't heard one disappointing song or track, everything has sounded amazing!
Dragon 67 I will go check him out,I appreciate the heads up! This is the kind of country the industry sorely needs. I think Chris Stapleton has started to turn a lot of the more pop country fans onto what country should sound like and I expect many amazing artists to emerge, so I see it as a great thing
I ended up buying all of his releases after listening to this album for a week. He just released his cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and I think it is fantastic. He has 2 out of print albums "Cast No Stones" and "Collector's Item", if you're on Facebook there is a great Cody Jinks group called Blacksheep which has them available in digital format, with Cody's blessing; many members are incredibly generous and record copies to CD and mail them at no charge, only request is pay-it-forward by making copies for other members. One of the songs on the out-of-print CDs is "Walk Alone", incredible lyrics - especially the stories he weaves about the homeless Vietnam vet and single mother - first time I heard it I got tears in my eyes and replayed it a few more times immediately.
My fiancé got me out of a dark time in my life and she plays this song for us all the time. The best thing to ever happen in my life she and my stepdaughter are my everything ♥️
lol

That sounds like a beautiful harmonious place to call home. God bless her and the blessings you’ve received.
My wife thinks I'm a devil .....I caught a dude shaking a child ...like hard head bouncing off the car seat ...I went an stopped it I fucked ol boy up ....got arrested an she left me ...I'm not a devil ...I'm a arc Angel don't ever fuck with a child or a animal you have nothing to worry about
❤
Thank you Lord for Cody Jinks. He gives me hope for the future of country music.
This is what country should sound like!
I love it
Keep it playing ur all we have left
u holdin dave
This is what music sounds like.
Yes. Reminds me of the legends. My favorite is George Jones.
It's so strange I would come across this when I did. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear it was written about me. My name is 'Cody,' and, I have the 'Devil' tattooed on my back. I've been the scapegoat all my life. In a heavy moment not but a few minutes ago, I just found this track. Mr. Jinks, you have no idea how close this song is to describe me. I think I about stepped outside myself. I could share a few things about my life that is so much in sync with this song of yours. Your first name, the title of the song, the lyrical equation...and just how much I've been jinxed in life just trying to prove that I'm not all that I have been through as a scapegoat. From me, to you, thank you, Mr. Jinks. I only hope you understand the depth of my words here. Humble gratitude to you, brother. I don't have the words other than that.
It's hard to come by good country music now days. I grew up listening to country and it's changed over the years as does everything. But some things should always stay true to their roots and I am grateful for this. Thanks for the pure country
This jam is a monster. The best country I've heard in some time.
Can't get enough of these guys!! Love Cody's voice & I hope they start blowing up country stations everywhere!
Our society needed Cody Jinks. A good friend of mine played a song of his and as soon as I heard his voice I was hooked just on his voice,then the words. We all have a dark side god loves us anyway. We all deserve to be happy.❤
saw you in Denver with Whitey. one of the best shows I've ever seen. stay true to what you do sir. Your music hits home with a lot of people.
I saw him at the Choctaw Indian Fair in Mississippi in July. He’s amazing. Between him and Jamie Johnson, that was the best concert I’ve attended in fifty years.
Who among us true country boys and girls can't relate to this guy?
Merle,Johnny and all the true country legends are smiling down
Don Weaver Amen brother!!!
Hanks laughtin at the guy
Y
I've listened to all the oldies growing up. George Jones, Merle and Hank. It's hard to find those types of singers today but this guy is close. I've never heard of him but will listen to him from now on.
Right here....... I drink because I'm pathetic
damn this song reminds me off addiction problems I had a year ago made me cry thinking about my life the first time I heard it keep writing good music brother I lost everything cause of it my best friend and all of that
travis clack
it's all good brother. Tomorrow is a brand new day.
(are you from Gonzales Tx?)
Same here been battling it for some time now but proud to say I'm at a year and a half. My longest to date.
Finally! An artist that knows country music!! I stopped listening to country along time ago, as it took a turn I didn't care for.
But you, Cody Jinks are awesome!.. You got me listening to yours! I am old school country. Waylon, Johnny, George and the list goes on and on.. And my friend you are bringing the legends back, through your music!!
You my friend are awesome!!
Black Top I recommend frank foster also

Dear Cody, we are all Human and make mistakes! Even our Savior was a Man, for a time! Beautiful! 💕
Was shown this song the day I needed it, before I needed it. Gut feeling was telling me I would. Thank you for having a way to tell my feelings with me not being able to.
Cody junk saved my life.. I moved away to leave for good.. never knew who Cody was or his music, with that said I was in a dark place.. with lots of prayers and the right music I've found myself!! I became clean and sober off drugs and alcohol. Mr. Jinks your music helped me defeat the disease of addiction.. I've even bought a guitar 🎸 an acoustic guitar to be exact 🤙 so now I'm strumming and listening to my favorite Cody Jinks songs.. one song I keep on repeat was " somewhere in the middle " then "mama song" all his songs related to me in one way or the other. Thank you Mr Cody Jinks 🤙
I'm listening to this album right now on CD. It's beyond great. I almost can't believe it's even real. Thirteen tracks of pure country gold!
I just saw him in Houston...
He sounds exactly the same live...amazing artist
New chapter in life ...starting over after a long journey of hurt...met a good man with a true heart. To afraid to accept that good men truly exist so I pushed him away using his past against him. Hurt my heart to do that to him. Cried for days. Then he sent me this song. I stopped pushing him away and embraced the love he had for me. He's rocks my soul!!
Just discovered your music tonight and wow you are the real thing and just what we need back on the country radio. 10 thumbs up
I've heard amazing things about Cody Jinks, about how he is keeping real country music alive. This is my first time hearing Mr. Jinks and it won't be the last. This is old school 70s, 80s, early 90s country performed by a modern artist. I'm getting tired of hearing pop country on my country stations. Some of it is ok, but a lot of it like FGL, Lady A, Carrie and Kelsea Ballerini should be on a Top 40 station. There is nothing pop about Cody Jinks. Those who wondered where country music has gone have found it. Thank you for keeping that traditional sound alive. The greats like George Jones, George Strait, Waylon, Willie, Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson thank you. If modern country has committed Murder on Music Row, Cody Jinks is helping to resurrect it.
I just recently learned of your music. Man, I am in LOVE!!! I have already told so many people about you. I'm in Hickory, NC. Waiting for you!! 😍
I went to an article to hear a new single by Gretchen Wilson and this song started playing. My first time hearing it and I LOVE it. My wife is a fantastic singer and I think you two would sound excellent on a duet. Thank you for your music Cody.
I'm into rap and Hip Hop but man your music is amazing bro keep it up
This is what a man is, I don't give a damn what anyone says. This Texas girl supports this artist 💯
God Bless Texas !!! 🤘Hook 'em Horns !!!!
I call my wife “The Texas Tornado”. I laugh why guys say “you let her do that?” I don’t “let” her do anything! July will be 39 years married, a few more as my best friend. I knew when I married her there was not a box big enough to hold her and if there was it would kill her.
looks like I have to buy another album! Cody never disappoints!
WOW. I knew it was going to be GOOD, but I'm still blown away by that Cody Jinks quality. Love it!
almost lost my world today. I never knew how much I let my wife down. but this song is kinda my tribute to her.. just hurtin never thought the day would come that no matter how much I love her or how hard I try to make thing work; I'm the one who gave up and let her down.. im tired of feeling like the failure and non cooperative one.
man I read that loud and clear
prayers for you bro
+Alex Watkins today 7/31/16 my wife asked for the divorce she has been wanting . I love her but I said I'd do whatever it to to keep her happy. this time at least I can be a man of my word.
+Leland Bates fight for your wife, I have been down that same road. if you truly love her do t let her go. You have to change the reason she wants to leave you. Go to the ends of the world to prove to her you have changed.Pray for her, pray for yourself. marriage is not something you give up on because it got hard. Marriage is a daily battle, the devil wants to tear it apart because it was a covenant between you, your wife, and God. punch the devil in the mouth and get your wife back. If she can see a true change, and change back into the man she first married she won't go anywhere. but you can't just fix it until things get better you have to change yourself. when I went thru this same problem, I changed myself because I saw my faults and realized I was the problem. i changed myself for me because I didn't want to be that guy. and in changing myself for me, I also changed myself for her. God has done way harder miracles than fixing your marriage. it's going to be hard, but not near as hard as seeing her with another man! So man up and get your wife back.
+Alex Watkins she forgave me for my faults but she doesn't want me because she feels that she will always remember and the thought would be in the back of her head. she has a hard time with trust anyways lol I love her but I lost her a long time ago I just never knew it. I wanted to keep trying but she doesn't so I'm gonna try to be her friend at least and hopefully she will see the changes I'm working on. I never cheated or beat her to be honest I felt stupid compared to her and couldn't talk to her amongst other things. she may not want to try but my plan is to show her the changed man I'm working to be.
I don’t think he’s the devil, I’m so very grateful he did his duty, plus put his heart into it. If he was a physo path. No none of these struggles would weigh his heart. Your dad has empathy. That, makes makes him an honourable soldier and good man. I hope he finds his way and stops torching himself 😘
this is one of the best songs ive ever heard great job
Cody is what you call true talent. His voice and lyrics speak for themselves. He doesn't need fancy clothes or a flashy stage. I got to see his talent in person and I'm hooked! Keep doing your thing Cody and always stay humble. We ♡ You!!
My clothes are not fancy?.... ha - Thanks
I'm really in love with this song... you can feel it coming from your heart
Again, The Best !!!
Cody, you deserve so much recognition........
Hell yea. Listening on the rez.
Just stumbled across this song tonight while looking up new music to learn. I've now been playing all the songs for the past 5 hours. GREAT MUSIC!!!!! It really hits close to home! This is what country music is. Not what ya hear on mainstream radio. Tomorrow I'm buying all the albums and loading them into my truck! Hell yes!!!!!!!! Keep it coming!
Thanks Kurt
Cody Jinks I'll see you in Madison Wisconsin
O
Ive been with my wife for almost 12yrs and have been married for almost 8yrs...... I love this woman with everything I have and will never stop....... But I have learned that loving her is not everything I needed to do...... I wouldnt step up and be the man she needed..... I was in and out of jobs all the time and when I did actually keep a job, I wouldnt do my half of the 24/7 365, job we both had at home. Cleaning and spending time with our kids instead of playing my game or watching t.v...... I let her down and she told me she is falling out of love with me and I dont know if I'm too late to get her back....... I found GOD recently and I'm doing my best to stay on the path he is leading me....... But I'm scared that path doesnt have her in it with me and that kills me inside..... I'm the one who broke her and I dont know how to fix it...... I dont want our life story together to end, but if it does I dont want it to end because I was a lazy shit of a husband and dad....... Im so sorry baby....Im also sorry for doing that to our children baby...... I turned into my father and lost sight of everything we had and have ..... Please forgive me and let me show you..... Im Not The Devil You Think That I Am........ I can do it if you let me..... I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN EVER AGAIN BABY
Hard to believe after all this time and manipulation.. I gave you plenty opportunities to be honest with me and tell the whole thing. Time is a healer and God knows what's best. Yes, you broke me but I'm whole again and what I have now is much more than you can handle. I know my worth and what I want and I will have it.. I gave you 15 years .. 15 long dedicated years. What you give me??? Be honest with me and yourself.. I love you and wish you the best.
went and saw him at ft worth a little while back. whitey morgan and cody put on the best show ive seen in a long time. his family was there and he paid tribute to them like a young man should. keep on rollin cody you got this.
Chad Thomason
yes?
I recently lost the father of my two year old. When we broke up last year, he sent me this song. I wish he had more time to prove to me that he wasn't the devil.
I just came across your music man.. I'm telling my family about you it's so good and real country that I love! Keep it up brother you got what it takes to make it BIG!!
I have also been going through alot, I mean to me it feels like God doesn't even love me anymore not only bc im a homosexual but bc I have done alot of bad things and have begged for forgiveness and it seems to fail everytime. In late April I lost my baby brother by injury and I have lost all but two of my grandparents and great grandparents. It never fails. But this song completely explains me bc I'm not a bad person than everyone puts me out to be. I just feel like I ain't loved anymore but I will hold onto faith and hope to see another tomorrow and have enough love for myself to replace everyone! Thanks Cody!!
Well brother IDC if your a homosexual you just play it as straight as you can and do the right thing it ain't easy itl hurt sometimes but do nice things and feel better I was a violent man id fight any man dog cat ghost gods you name it but take that advice and walk a line keep that serphant the devil were he belongs out of your mind push him away like he's damn Freddy krugger but beware the evils my friend I hope you don't get affended by this stay strong just trying to help keep your inner monalog positive
I listen to your song all the time. when I'm in a bad mood or down for some reason, I put this song on. THANK YOU, Cody for writing this song. Much love to you and your team😊👏😘
Yes.
Amen girl!!
Seen him open for Jamey Johnson June 17 in my home town Durant ok.... lets just say crowd was chanting for Cody even when Jamey was on stage. Jamey Johnson is the man and he played with a huge band, multiple drummers horn section etc, but Cody is such the real deal that I don't think its wise to have him as your opener. Jamey did call Cody on stage and the whole place was chanting Cody Cody Cody! it gave you chill bumps was flippin awesome! You go Denton/Ft worth boy! I guarantee ill see more shows. Thank you Mr. Jinks
Make America Country Again! Great song!
Matthew Collins da
It is not about getting close. It is just about playing from the heart. You have accomplished this.
Eric Church, Aaron Lewis, Cody Jinks, Jamey Johnson, Sturgill Simpson, and Chris Stapleton are the best Country's got today! Such rare talents that I wish people listen to.
Alabama and Combat Vets love you Cody!!! See you in October, in Nashville!! This is real Art!! Your music gets me through life... Thanks Cody, we are behind you!
Another amazing song! Incredibly poignant lyrics; they really hit home. Thank you for creating such incredible music.
Glad you dig it
I think this song speaks for the service men and women and the life after the war. Good bless you brother
Aaron Lewis, Chris Stapleton, Cody Jinks and Jamey Johnson are keeping country music alive!
Zach Russell, yes I agree, but you have to check out some of frank fosters music, its solid country also, promise u won't be disappointed
Michael Cook i like frank foster. I just dont think hes on the same level vocally as the other guys
sturgill simpson
Zach Russell amen to that!
Sturgill Simpson could be thrown into that lot too, he's pretty good. Sounds a lot like Waylon.
It blows my mind that Cody Jinks isn't played on radio. Here in SWMO one of our country stations plays red dirt on Friday night and that's about the only time I ever hear him on the radio. He has such a good sound and awesome lyrics!
Just discovered your music this week and I think you're an amazing artist and singer! I'm telling everyone I know they need to check out your music. West By God Virginia here!
Hey Dale. Thanks.
Every song he sings has a meaning. Hard to find music this good
Dale Kinnison West Virginia girl here just discovering Mr. Jinks myself!
Great artist isn't he? Pocahontas Co. Here.
Dale Kinnison Southern part. Logan county!
Every single song you sing has so much feeling and emotion from your soul. It is an honor to have another singer/ songwriter that is not afraid to truly show themselves in their music. Every single person I have had listen to you are now fans. Thank you so very much from Kentucky.
Songs that hit the nail on the head at the right moment of your life are always the best. I messed up, made my bed that I lay in alone now but I'm not the devil she thinks I am.
Hang in there brother. No words can make you feel better. Time is the only antidote. A prayer or 2 doesn't hurt anything either. I've been there man. It sucks but it does get better.
Cody,u are the best country ive heard in a long time, i grew up in the 90s when country was still ok,then i discovered waylon willie and the band,hank jr, johnny cash, david allen coe etc.... Man u are right there with them in my book brother. Love you.
Keep em coming, A lot of people including myself love your songs
discovered Cody Jinks on Pandora after awhile of skipping his music.. big mistake.. instantly became one of my favorite country singers! keep on brother !
Going through a divorce and haven’t seen my kids in over 6 months. This song hits so close to home. TMLD.
Fuckin feel this like a mother fucker
So sorry for what your going through. There's always a light up ahead. Hold on be strong. This to will pass.
Been there before, head up brother it gets better
Don't look up Highway 20 Ride then

Really?
You're gonna do that to him?
EPIC SONG....one that 30 years from now will be remembered as one of many classic songs written by this man...
This is one of the best songs l've heard in many years.
Great song, Cody. Three chords and the truth. Thank you.
never been a more appropriate time in my life to stumble across this song
One of my favorite of his... heard it the other day on The Ranch, made me smile. Can't wait to see him, Ward David and Whitey Morgan at Bandit Town ! Cheers guys
Goin through a divorce after 14 yrs together...its like this song is telling my story.
I know this is a 5 year old comment, but if you see this, tell me how it worked out.
Because I'm living this right now.
Staring at an empty bottle of bourbon.
The woman I loved more than life itself has told me I've broken the bonds.
I've broken our family.
But I was taught to never give up.
To never quit.
To always try harder.

Song hits home for me, on so many different levels. Such mastery in these lyrics, AWESOME in every way imaginable.
Thanks! Song was definitely penned to hit multiple lanes.
Wow That right there man will be the song that i will have played at my funeral. speaks volumes for a man who has had been through some shit in this life. Cody thank you for speaking to my soul brother God Bless you and I'll be listening
Cody Jinks, I just want to thank you. thank you for being yourself. thank you for bringing country to country music. thank you for being inspiration for artists like myself to keep pushing on. simply, thank you. all the way from Georgia
And thank you for stopping by all the way from GA.
Cody Jinks been a fan for quite a while... please come close to the Savannah area soon
Cody, if this song is any hint as to how good the rest of the album will be, this is gonna be an incredible listening experience. Also, saw you for the first time early this past year with Whitey Morgan in Louisville and you owned it. Keep it going and come back to Kentucky soon.
I'm not the devil you think that I am
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
It wasn't no gun they held to my head
I got caught up believing in lies that were said
And in a moment of weakness
I stumbled and I made my bed
I'm not the devil you think that I am
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
[Instrumental bridge]
There's 10,000 reasons for you not to stay
And no one would blame you
If you want it that way
It might take some time
But I'll show you that I'm worth the wait
I'm not the devil you think that I am
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
And I'll spend forever, do all that I can
To prove I'm not the devil you think that I am
And I'm not the devil
Jaci Gates lyrics need to be pinned... thank you
Wow I really like this
Thanks again Cody for all you do for all of us fans... ANOTHER GREAT ONE. !!! Hope we get you to come to Kansas Someday.. Been listening to you everyday in my Semi hauling wheat during our wheat harvest... Can't get enough..
Where in Kansas? Thanks!
Saw this on Connan. I do not listen to country at all but yall may have made me a fan. Great performance.
Zachary L I just watched that as well and I was in awe. He is going to go somewhere. I hope he tears Music Row up!
My mom and this guy were together for several years and when they split he sang this song to her. Well just a couple days ago he passed away and she listens to this song over and over again because the last weeks of his life he spent them proving to us that he wasn’t the devil that we thought that he was
Roman’s 10;9
If you profess by mouth Jesus is Lord and believe God raised him from the dead you will be saved
by far one of the best sounds iv heard in a long while i keep hitting repeat
Appreciate that Josh
My son sent me Momma's Song to listen too (we lost his dad 2 yrs now and I know what he was telling me), you now have a true fan....Thank you Sir...Nothing like real country, and your it...
Listening to Cody usually leads to drinking more whiskey. Mighty fine
Jeff Burke cheers to that my friend, I'm not the devil she thinks I am
Jeff Burke it does go down better with this song playing
Oh man.... I have no words.... other than to say that I keep replaying it...
thanks for another great song Cody... Hope to see you again (SOON) in Seattle

AMEN to that!
Jonathan Schneider ain't that the truth. what happen to country.
He may not be the Devil, but damn close
Cody your music speaks to me. Every song (especially this one and my favorite "Somewhere In The Middle") speaks right to my soul. What you do with a lyric and a guitar is truly amazing and I can't thank you enough for blessing us through song. This song has helped me (along with many of your others) deal with some unthinkable adversity this past year. Thank you and please keep them coming. God Bless!

Thanks Braden

Best around right here fellas. This is what country should sound like. Cody, Whitey, Sturgill, Shooter, Abbot, Canada, this is what country is about. New songs sound great, hope to see y'all in Columbus soon brother.
I can relate so much on this song I've done so much wrong to my wife horrible things we got into a horrible argument and she called me a devil I keep working everyday show her I love her and I'm not the devil so this song has made me cry and made me want to change my heart and my life for my wife
A giant resounding THANK YOU to Cody Jinks, Chris Stapleton & Jamey Johnson for bringing the real country back to the radio waves. 👍🏼👍🏼
now this is the country we need 🇺🇸
Man, I friggin love this dudes music. His voice, his style...he's one of the only true country singers left in this world today. Guys like Cody Jinks, Chris Stapleton, and Jamey Johnson are a dying breed. Lets hold onto em while we can!
I don’t know how many nights I’d get drunk and run the battery dead in my truck to this song. I’m sober now my poor wife. I hope she now knows I regret every once of hell I put her through
