This looks like it’s been all cut up from a movie. It’s like it tells a huge story in three and a half minutes. This hits different than anything ive ever seen or heard. Literally found Zach’s work tonight and I’m so glad I did.
"That small town bar scene Where small vices kill your big dreams" To anyone who hasn't grown up in these small, sub 600 resident towns, these lyrics are incredibly true. It's so easy to be the king of a small town. All you have to do is visit us and all we talk about is the good old days. Small accomplishments that we will never stop talking about because we never accomplished much else. Some of the deepest, most intelligent and talented people never find expression in their genius because they are drowning in alcohol in a small town.
hit the nail on the head their brother. I might be over sharing, but I remember leaving my small town to go on and pursue a career out of town. When I came back I visited the very bar I had left, and was eager to share my experiences and success. When I walked in, the exact same people were sat drinking the exact drinks talking about the exact same stories, the same they had made 15 years ago. It was a bitter pill I had to swallow. No one cared as to what I had done, infact I would say they were jealous, as someone had actually tried to better themselves and be more than what tradition had to offer. Others wont understand what thats like, but its something I have to now live with, feeling like an outsider when I come home to the place I grew up. Music like this helps, and although I may have left the town to start life elsewhere, the town never really left me, and I will continue to hold that flame inside no matter what I do.
@@GodGunsGills disrespectfully i see the need to throat punch a lot of people commenting. a lot of people commenting have no common sense. very sad times we live in.
Work at a joint with live music. Young lady got up and sang this song with the heartbreak of being the girl in the song. different interpretation and it was beautiful
As a girl from Oklahoma, I loved a man who was like these two men combined. The pull men like that can have on you is almost impossible to explain, but I feel like he got the nostalgic and heartbreaking emotions that go along with it. Combined with the small town, simple life it’s something that’s very hard to let go of. But you can’t fight life and you can’t keep everything that is given to you. I can’t really describe how this song/video makes me feel, but thanks Zach.
“And you can’t keep everything that is given to you”. I struggle with trying to do exactly that, I need to learn to let go. I’ve never heard it put so well, thank you for the thought provoking post.
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life
I'm torn with Zach. On one hand I feel there is no better job a man can do than serve his country. Thank you for that Zach. You keep writing songs like this one and I will start to think this is your greater service.
@@Generic4LetterProgramCompany He didn't make a career out of the Navy. But he did serve. For that I'm forever grateful. He served something that's more than just him. Now he writes great songs and for that I'm grateful too. Not to hard to understand. What's your problem. The youth these days have little to no understanding what service is......what respect is...what this country is.....and why its worth serving for...........that's why we need to reinstitute the national draft.
@@warrenthomas4687 what’s your problem? I asked if you think Zach should have made a career out of the navy and you start talking about a draft? Who’s to blame for the youth these days? The people that raised them, like you. I bet I have served more time than you.
I just found this song two days ago, and I can't stop playing it. This song resonates with me since I grew up in small town in Oklahoma. We all know someone who could be the character in the song. Also, what really impresses me is what a talented storyteller Zach Bryan is. He sings from the heart with passion and has depth to his voice, yet his vocals has a smoothness to it also. I have not listened to country for years since I live in a different part of the country now; but I am back to being a country listener thanks to Zack Bryan. He is bringing back country to the masses.
Hey thanks 🥳 for the love, dedicated, care and support you have showed me for year I need to appreciate you all because am nothing without you all I believe you're one of my best, great and lovely fan's ❤️😘 out there ?
yes ...small towns are great...im from a small too in oklahoma well i was born and rasied in okc then moved small town of stroud and then shawnee.....but yes good ol dirt roads and lakes or ponds...
Yea every song I go back to my first real love it’s funny now because it was a long distance relationship now we can laugh at how dumb we were back then
He is an awesome song writer. If he holds it together he will have a place at the top. What an awesome young man. Looks like he's got some pickers that can grow along with him. That's part of there MAGIC...!
Bryd, she was so smart and beautiful, could've have left that trailer park we lived in behind for bigger and better things but she had shit taste in men. Haven't heard from her in over 2 decades, I just have to hope she finally found a someone to lift her up instead of drag her down. Not a "one that got away", just a dear friend. I had a crush on her sister though.
I accidentally stumbled upon this song… after 4 years, 6 black eyes. Almost missing a front tooth had to have emergency dental surgery to save it. A week in icu almost loosing my life. I have finally found peace in the violence. Thank you. I loved and he lost. I finally love myself and life again. I hope God let’s me shine now! 🙏
@@hannahhoward1216 I guess you never been in love triangle where are you know you should be with the good guy, but you only want t the bad guy but there’s a lot more to this song than that
I don’t see how,. you’re so beautiful. I’m a pretty good actor u could just let me know when and I can play both parts for you Someday and help you figure it out. 🤠Have a good day beautiful 😊😋
Zach, your music came into my life at the worst (best) time of my life. Thank you for making such beautiful music that we can all relate to. You save lives!
Definitely. This is one of my favorite songs. Coming from a small town myself this hits home because I feel like it's me in a sense he's talking about. His music has saved my life as well, friend. We're glad you're still here and don't give up the good fight ❤
So, thanks to Yellowstone on Paramount for introducing me to Zach Bryan! Wow, love his songs! So down to earth, they reflect a feeling that reaches to the soul! Love it!
37, my intuitions tell me I don't have till I'm old here... I hope my kids see this comment when I'm gone, I want them to know I love this song, I loven them so much. Please always look to the skies, the sun rises, and sunset's... we only get so many.
As a 45-year-old war veteran, I’ve lost every relationship and failed at everything. One day, I was crying in bed and prayed to God. I told Him I had nothing to offer but my broken heart. He spoke to me, saying, “It’s okay to fall apart, I’ve got you.” Then He said, “I’ve got amazing things in store for you, just trust me.” 3 weeks later Seeing my life turn around for the good and God using Teresa Janette Brock, who changed my life. After reading about her, I found her website and reached out. Her kindness led me to a business venture I never imagined I’d enjoy. Her guidance gave me a new sense of purpose and community. Now, I feel more fulfilled and happier than ever. This song and Teresa’s influence have been true blessings in MY life...[
As a man who has long double braids, and being with a woman who closely resembles this woman in the video, this one hits really close to home. So much so that the hair on my arms is still standing. And that is why Zach Bryan plays though my speakers consistently. Love the music, nay, art you provide to us. It is appreciated, loved, and absorbed like no one could imagine.
Lol get your facts straight goober it doesn’t matter. It’s still one of my favorites and got me hooked as a fan but I’ve been loving these shorts and new videos on TH-cam. Haven’t listen to one I haven’t liked especially the one about breaking down by Muskogee that shit hit home
zach is such an amazing artist! These comments describes his work incredibly well. He is able to create a feeling on every song that most artists try a lifetime to achieve. His songs describes every feeling non of us are able to put in words. that is why his songs feels like home and it feels like an escape from reality
I was born in African, the furthest i have ever been is Asia i however don’t understand why I’m so connected with zach’s music and country music in general..much love from Rwandan 🇷🇼
The most tragic Zach Bryan song anywhere from American Heartbreak onward, perfectly capturing the deep sadness of being a few years out of high school and having seen people's dreams crushed in real time. I wish this had a seven-minute version, because it feels like the story only barely gets started in the two verses that are on here and then is abruptly cut off, but this is still easily a 9/10 for me.
But. I think the "cut short" fits the vibes. Bc it, life, goes by soooo fast. Like the famous Good Will Hunting line.. "Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up, and I'll be 50.."..
Cool bro how did you contribute? I’m just curious? I would love a job like that well it wouldn’t even be a job. If you’re having fun, I do it for free.
@@DapperDan. I was cast as one of the teens in this one, most of our scenes were cut but we’re throwing stones during the lake scene. Helped crew on the last day, which is my norm. If you want to be part of a show, just keep an ear to the ground on local productions, they almost always need a hired hand to PA. Cheers!
I’ve been listening to this guys music for a about a year but only whatever popped up on mainstream media. I finally started to listen to more of his music recently. I was listening to this one on my way to work a couple of days ago and it brought me to tears. This song is so good, & I love when music brings out so much emotion and you can actually FEEL what the song is saying
Zach, you won't see this comment, but this story is exactly what happened with me and a girl I knew and loved. The only difference is the "Oklahoma" part. The first time I heard this song, it just brought me right back, and I didn't know what to feel. Music like this that makes you feel, really feel deep inside, is the best kind. Thank you, man.
Beautiful man. This dudes changed my life and I’ll be forever grateful. Keep doing you Zach, me and the boys will keep belting them songs till our lungs burn. Love you man. Good work here
I’m obsessed with everything Zach’s done musically . His music is beautiful in a deep way - I feel very understood and I know my guy friends do too . Just simply, thank you Zach.
I really hope he makes a music video for Tishomingo, No Cure, or ‘68 Fastback. I feel the story telling in these songs leaves an opening for a great video
She used to play in the yard and she would dream of one day 'Til the world came around and took her dreaming away Told her how to dress and act and smile Well, damn. That made me cry.
If this were a book or a TV miniseries, I'd be all over it. The story is perfectly set up: The young, smart girl next door filled with potential living in small-town Oklahoma, her loyalties torn between her childhood friend who's gentle and respectful but has a chip on his shoulder due to his indigenous background, and the racist, muscle shirt-wearing good ol' boy with irresistible charisma. As those rare opportunities to make something of life in the dead-end patch of dust they call home come and go, she finds herself faced with a choice between the two that will have consequences beyond what she imagined. It'd be a story rife with poignant themes of love, nostalgia, small-town life, overcoming fear, and facing the truth, and driven by the physical conflicts between the two men and the introspective conflicts within herself, all coming together to create a picture of the American heartland for good and for bad. It'd be a magnificent character study and there isn't much I wouldn't give to see or read it.
small world, i was just watching your video and now i see your comment here. btw i'll be using your name in one of my videos if you don't mind, and will be misquoting you.
He's gotta make one for Something in the Orange, Jamie, Travelling Man, Crooked Teeth, Birmingham, Cold Damn Vampires, Open the Gates, Sun to Me, Oklahoma City, and Heavy Eyes!!!
@@ComedyBros5 I actually don’t think one should be made for Jamie. I don’t want Jamie to have a face because I as well as so many others have lost someone in a similar way and I think it’s nice that we can all picture our own someone. It’s also such a difficult topic that would be real hard to watch. Open the gates would be super sick as a music video though! Also Corinthians!
@@taranicole4849 That's a really good point. Hadn't thought of Corinthians, but it'd definitely be a great one! Needless to say, a lot of Zach's music could easily make awesome videos!
I accidentally found this song in the right time I finally let go.. after 4 yrs of losing myself! 6 black eyes a front tooth I had saved from emergency dental surgery and a week in icu. This song brought peace to my sou! I don’t know if I’m safe yet but I’m trying and praying I will be! 🙏
ZB is the only new popular country male musician that checks every box for me… and this is coming from a longtime metalhead. He isn’t cheesy or cringey, he’s the right amount of raspy twang. 🥹
Been sober 1 year and some weeks from booze now I just smoke reefer take some shrooms and think about if she's ok, or if she really did make it out of that town alive.
When i first heard this song, i thought ZB was speaking specifically to me, and I found solace and comfort in it. Now, I see that I’m not the only fella in this position based off of these comments, and that gives me comfort. It gives me comfort that there is a bigger world out there, and that the good guy does win. Love y’all, keep drinking cold beer and doing good in the world.
Lyrics: Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like I know your daddy ain't home so ride with me tonight You always wind up here in a puddle of tears Them boys are out and they're angry and they're lookin' for blood In the back of a blue old pick up truck You've got nowhere to go although you're all gussied up There's so much whiskey in his Coke it'll make her nose bend But she swears that his love is a damn God send She's known God since she was a child She used to play in the yard and she would dream of one day 'Til the world came around and took her dreaming away Told her how to dress and act and smile She's an Oklahoma Smokeshow He's an asshole from back home She'll never make it out alive That small town bar scene Where small vices kill your big dreams He'd take you home but he's too drunk to drive I've been here, I've been up all night Thinkin' 'bout a life with you and I One you'll never know 'Cause you're a small town smokeshow Well, I've been here, I've been up all night Thinkin' 'bout a life with you and I One you'll never know 'Cause you're a small town smokeshow Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like I know your daddy ain't home so ride with me tonight You always wind up here in a puddle of tears Them boys are out and they're angry and they're looking for blood In the back of a blue old pick up truck You've got nowhere to go although you're all gussied up
Here the master Zac is coming to Melbourne Australia very soon, myself won't be able to go but from myself and A shit load of Bloody home grown people are wishing you all the best please feel like your home because we are very excited mate. Enjoy 👍🇦🇺🤘🇦🇺
I don't really even like country all that much but this is legit. Reminds me of most of my childhood and watching my friends relationships... Jeez what a random bunch of memories
This song always reminds me that everyone had someone they loved and had to let go. Everytime I listen to it, I remember that we all had some fucking good times at one point in our lives.
Zach comes up with " damn that's one hell of a line" over and over. No way to ever get enough. Hope we don't lose him too early like so many other great singer songwriters.
I am pretty new to Zack's music (all the way from South Africa, we don't get a lot of recommendations in SA for country music) but damn this is all I listen to these days. what a voice mate. definitely my favorite singers to date
This reminds me of my daughter who was in a few horrible relationship. She has ptsd from some of the things that one kid put her through. Then she moved on to another one that was horrible to her. She realized what was going on and even though neither of them put their hands on her they left a mark with her mentally. I am so happy that she found a nice guy now and he treats her so well. He is becoming a part of our family. I was the same way when I was young and always went for the bad guys. I am happy my bad guy turned his life around and we have a wonderful life now for over 28 years. To anyone who is out there, man or woman, you deserve to be treated well and good and don't ever settle for less
The video and song hit hard. Love this. It's like a fast life in a small town and the girl everyone loves for many reasons. A part of the crew and a few others, and still torn between a couple of people she can't let go of. Feels like I was watching my high school sweetheart. I don't know how he embodies rural life in America with every song, but he does. Instant favorite singer. Zach Bryan is the GOAT
I play this video every day at least once. I never tire of it. Such talent in their DNA. I live near their NorCal ranch and can’t wait for them to play here. ❤ RIP Hag Your sons are a tribute to you music style. Long live classic country music.
I recall hearing this for the first time last summer, and it takes me back as soon as i hear the first chord. Where i was, who i was holding hands with, the smell in the air, this song is a time machine for me.
The song is a 10 out of 10... but the music video is just... chefs kiss.... just so well produced, love seeing music videos that actually follow the story of the song.
I told you you were gonna go far bro.. im just sorry I never got to drum with u but that one night we met at my brother's Halloween party on my cajon.. my gf and daughter know all the words to this song its my daughter's favorite 😊 Thanks for being real and staying true to yourself man and making such great music

Sumtime you Fuuck. Around and you'll find out!!!!
Grew up in Hominy, Oklahoma. Now 71 and looking back I was such a smoke show.

Music videos were such a massive part of our lives growing up. Come home from school and just watch music videos every day. Great stuff here.
Zach creates a feeling that words can not describe. What he does is undeniably art
Pure art from the most rugged, raw talent that has risen the last years 👏🔥
Art in its most pure form. It's real, and you can feel it.
You took the words right out of my mouth. There's certain songs that You don't only hear you feel them and this is one of them
AMEN 🙏🏼
Facts
Work at a joint with live music. Young lady got up and sang this song with the heartbreak of being the girl in the song. different interpretation and it was beautiful
We need to hear that😊!
Can we talk about the artistry that went into making this video? These characters are perfection, I need a sequel!
Absolute perfection.
Yes! The first time I watched it without the sound. Amazing without the song. Stunning with it!
I've got it in my mind already that the sequel is Chris Ledoux's 'Tougher Than the Rest' where they meet up years later 😅

He spoke to me, saying, “It’s okay to fall apart, I’ve got you.” Then He said, “I’ve got amazing things in store for you, just trust me.” 3 weeks later Seeing my life turn around for the good and God using Teresa Janette Brock, who changed my life. After reading about her, I found her website and reached out. Her kindness led me to a business venture I never imagined I’d enjoy. Her guidance gave me a new sense of purpose and community. Now, I feel more fulfilled and happier than ever. This song and Teresa’s influence have been true blessings in MY life...[
As a man who has long double braids, and being with a woman who closely resembles this woman in the video, this one hits really close to home. So much so that the hair on my arms is still standing. And that is why Zach Bryan plays though my speakers consistently. Love the music, nay, art you provide to us. It is appreciated, loved, and absorbed like no one could imagine.
It took me a long time to find one that just stuck with me. Thanks Bennett for being the reason I just kept looking for one.
I bawled my eyes out when I saw him live and he sang this. Really brought to light all that I had been through
American Heartbreak has gotta be the best album of the past few years, hands down.
By one of the best songwriters/artists of this generation
ABSOLUTELY agreed!!!!!
This was on Summertime Blues
but this song wasn’t on AH
Lol get your facts straight goober it doesn’t matter. It’s still one of my favorites and got me hooked as a fan but I’ve been loving these shorts and new videos on TH-cam. Haven’t listen to one I haven’t liked especially the one about breaking down by Muskogee that shit hit home
zach is such an amazing artist! These comments describes his work incredibly well. He is able to create a feeling on every song that most artists try a lifetime to achieve. His songs describes every feeling non of us are able to put in words. that is why his songs feels like home and it feels like an escape from reality
Celebrating my sisters birthday today. She passed almost a year ago and it's been tough but Mr Zach Bryan has gotten me through.
So sorry for your loss
I’ve heard this song 1000 times, yet the video still nearly made me cry
Same.
I was born in African, the furthest i have ever been is Asia i however don’t understand why I’m so connected with zach’s music and country music in general..much love from Rwandan 🇷🇼
I’m a woman born in Oklahoma, same as Zach Bryan. This song “hits home.”
I’m glad you appreciate country music from so far away!
music is for the soul..big respect code cornman of oklahoma 🙏
The most tragic Zach Bryan song anywhere from American Heartbreak onward, perfectly capturing the deep sadness of being a few years out of high school and having seen people's dreams crushed in real time. I wish this had a seven-minute version, because it feels like the story only barely gets started in the two verses that are on here and then is abruptly cut off, but this is still easily a 9/10 for me.
How good does that guitar solo hit with the video directing. Brilliant
But. I think the "cut short" fits the vibes.
Bc it, life, goes by soooo fast.
Like the famous Good Will Hunting line.. "Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up, and I'll be 50.."..
I wish Zambians could listen more to your songs .... so, calming. happy to have listened to your songs.
Was happy to play a small role in this video, been going through rough times like a lot of listeners, so it was nice to be able to be part of this.
Cool bro how did you contribute? I’m just curious? I would love a job like that well it wouldn’t even be a job. If you’re having fun, I do it for free.
What did you do if you don’t mind me asking!? Sound so awesome
Keep your head up! Glad you're still breathing
You play this and then something in the orange and then god speed it’ll make your head spin!!!
@@DapperDan. I was cast as one of the teens in this one, most of our scenes were cut but we’re throwing stones during the lake scene. Helped crew on the last day, which is my norm. If you want to be part of a show, just keep an ear to the ground on local productions, they almost always need a hired hand to PA. Cheers!
I’ve been listening to this guys music for a about a year but only whatever popped up on mainstream media. I finally started to listen to more of his music recently. I was listening to this one on my way to work a couple of days ago and it brought me to tears. This song is so good, & I love when music brings out so much emotion and you can actually FEEL what the song is saying
Zach, you won't see this comment, but this story is exactly what happened with me and a girl I knew and loved. The only difference is the "Oklahoma" part. The first time I heard this song, it just brought me right back, and I didn't know what to feel. Music like this that makes you feel, really feel deep inside, is the best kind. Thank you, man.
Music is magical ✨️ cheers
@@mojo7980 It’s not “music” that’s magical, it’s his music that’s magical
Some of the girls that listen and love this song don’t even understand this song.

This man is truly the most talented human of our generation
He’s pretty bad ass I give them a tie with Juice WRLD

@@DapperDan. oh my goodness. 😂😂
@@DapperDan. remember, Cardi B won a Grammy. So … 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
this is film. 100/100 filmmaking plus a hell of a song
Beautiful man. This dudes changed my life and I’ll be forever grateful. Keep doing you Zach, me and the boys will keep belting them songs till our lungs burn. Love you man. Good work here
Heard this for the first time last night - it is so beautiful and captivating, refreshing and lovely. 🎉
I’m obsessed with everything Zach’s done musically . His music is beautiful in a deep way - I feel very understood and I know my guy friends do too . Just simply, thank you Zach.
I really hope he makes a music video for Tishomingo, No Cure, or ‘68 Fastback. I feel the story telling in these songs leaves an opening for a great video
68’ Fastback please
tishomingo is such a masterpiece
You could take any one of his songs and make a great video for each of them. He's an incredible lyricist!
I’ve been dying to see a music video for Jamie 😩👀
Do you want a video to replace the images and perspective you've already created in your mind for a song you already enjoy?
Born and raised in Oklahoma. Moved to Seattle. Can't wait to go back home
Hey Zach fellow Okie here! Thank you for your service to our country and our ears❤️
She used to play in the yard and she would dream of one day
'Til the world came around and took her dreaming away
Told her how to dress and act and smile
Well, damn. That made me cry.
Hello beautiful 👋 hope you’re having a great day??
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤

My favorite song by Zach! ❤
If this were a book or a TV miniseries, I'd be all over it. The story is perfectly set up: The young, smart girl next door filled with potential living in small-town Oklahoma, her loyalties torn between her childhood friend who's gentle and respectful but has a chip on his shoulder due to his indigenous background, and the racist, muscle shirt-wearing good ol' boy with irresistible charisma. As those rare opportunities to make something of life in the dead-end patch of dust they call home come and go, she finds herself faced with a choice between the two that will have consequences beyond what she imagined. It'd be a story rife with poignant themes of love, nostalgia, small-town life, overcoming fear, and facing the truth, and driven by the physical conflicts between the two men and the introspective conflicts within herself, all coming together to create a picture of the American heartland for good and for bad. It'd be a magnificent character study and there isn't much I wouldn't give to see or read it.
The fact that she was literally a rodeo clown just adds another layer to this song, too good man 🙌🏼
If I had a nickel for every lover I’ve had who’d been some sort of clown. Amiright?
@@LilCaseysTop40 i think a lot of us would be rich lmao
Exactly.
@@LilCaseysTop40 I'd have enough to buy the next one a drink

Great song

Yea that's real folk music
small world, i was just watching your video and now i see your comment here. btw i'll be using your name in one of my videos if you don't mind, and will be misquoting you.

So sad to hear that Alex passed. This song means so much to me. There isn’t a lot of worship music that I really love, and I love this song. RIP Alex
Best Talent in country right now. Pumped to see you on May 28th!!
I love this song!! Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
The song is incredible but the video adds such a layer to it! Amazing
This is so immersive. I wanna see a music video for every one of your songs now lol
He's gotta make one for Something in the Orange, Jamie, Travelling Man, Crooked Teeth, Birmingham, Cold Damn Vampires, Open the Gates, Sun to Me, Oklahoma City, and Heavy Eyes!!!
@@ComedyBros5 I actually don’t think one should be made for Jamie. I don’t want Jamie to have a face because I as well as so many others have lost someone in a similar way and I think it’s nice that we can all picture our own someone. It’s also such a difficult topic that would be real hard to watch. Open the gates would be super sick as a music video though! Also Corinthians!
@@taranicole4849 That's a really good point. Hadn't thought of Corinthians, but it'd definitely be a great one! Needless to say, a lot of Zach's music could easily make awesome videos!
@@ComedyBros5 yes, so many songs tell such relatable, yet unique stories that would be great on film.
Heart broken by someone you never knew. Even after all the time spent together.
I accidentally found this song in the right time I finally let go.. after 4 yrs of losing myself! 6 black eyes a front tooth I had saved from emergency dental surgery and a week in icu. This song brought peace to my sou! I don’t know if I’m safe yet but I’m trying and praying I will be! 🙏
ZB is the only new popular country male musician that checks every box for me… and this is coming from a longtime metalhead. He isn’t cheesy or cringey, he’s the right amount of raspy twang. 🥹
I live in the UK and this is the best country song here!!
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support🎵❤️
How’s everyone’s drinking going?
It's a battle
Not well, not well…
It's a struggle
Been sober 1 year and some weeks from booze now I just smoke reefer take some shrooms and think about if she's ok, or if she really did make it out of that town alive.
Hell yeah brother
When i first heard this song, i thought ZB was speaking specifically to me, and I found solace and comfort in it. Now, I see that I’m not the only fella in this position based off of these comments, and that gives me comfort. It gives me comfort that there is a bigger world out there, and that the good guy does win. Love y’all, keep drinking cold beer and doing good in the world.
This song and video bring back such strong memories of growing up in Ok… thanks Zach
You’re right… hello
It's so refreshing to hear real country music again... I honestly thought it was dead a gone a long time ago
only a few seconds in... that voice!!! amazing
Saddest Easter in recent memory. I miss you Daryn
Lyrics:
Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like
I know your daddy ain't home so ride with me tonight
You always wind up here in a puddle of tears
Them boys are out and they're angry and they're lookin' for blood
In the back of a blue old pick up truck
You've got nowhere to go although you're all gussied up
There's so much whiskey in his Coke it'll make her nose bend
But she swears that his love is a damn God send
She's known God since she was a child
She used to play in the yard and she would dream of one day
'Til the world came around and took her dreaming away
Told her how to dress and act and smile
She's an Oklahoma Smokeshow
He's an asshole from back home
She'll never make it out alive
That small town bar scene
Where small vices kill your big dreams
He'd take you home but he's too drunk to drive
I've been here, I've been up all night
Thinkin' 'bout a life with you and I
One you'll never know
'Cause you're a small town smokeshow
Well, I've been here, I've been up all night
Thinkin' 'bout a life with you and I
One you'll never know
'Cause you're a small town smokeshow
Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like
I know your daddy ain't home so ride with me tonight
You always wind up here in a puddle of tears
Them boys are out and they're angry and they're looking for blood
In the back of a blue old pick up truck
You've got nowhere to go although you're all gussied up
Thnks

Never heard of this dude till the Joe Rogan episode. Seemed down to earth so now I’m here. Good music
Its great to find a new artist to follow, cheers youtube for random recommendations
Here the master Zac is coming to Melbourne Australia very soon, myself won't be able to go but from myself and A shit load of Bloody home grown people are wishing you all the best please feel like your home because we are very excited mate. Enjoy 👍🇦🇺🤘🇦🇺
Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world.
And the same back to you
We have all loved her one time or another
I’m obsessed with this music video. The storytelling in such a short time is just amazing
I don't really even like country all that much but this is legit. Reminds me of most of my childhood and watching my friends relationships... Jeez what a random bunch of memories
Okie Native here. Loveeeeeee
Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤⭐
Deep love from Australia!!!❤
This song always reminds me that everyone had someone they loved and had to let go. Everytime I listen to it, I remember that we all had some fucking good times at one point in our lives.
Zach comes up with " damn that's one hell of a line" over and over. No way to ever get enough. Hope we don't lose him too early like so many other great singer songwriters.
I am pretty new to Zack's music (all the way from South Africa, we don't get a lot of recommendations in SA for country music) but damn this is all I listen to these days. what a voice mate. definitely my favorite singers to date
The song itself is really good but with this incredible video just reached another level! 🤩
👆📩
This reminds me of my daughter who was in a few horrible relationship. She has ptsd from some of the things that one kid put her through. Then she moved on to another one that was horrible to her. She realized what was going on and even though neither of them put their hands on her they left a mark with her mentally. I am so happy that she found a nice guy now and he treats her so well. He is becoming a part of our family. I was the same way when I was young and always went for the bad guys. I am happy my bad guy turned his life around and we have a wonderful life now for over 28 years. To anyone who is out there, man or woman, you deserve to be treated well and good and don't ever settle for less
I was touched by your emotional beautiful song!!!
great songwriting!!! great work!!!
I love how everyone’s analysis of the same song can be so different because of how the lyrics relate to each person’s life
I think we've had no where to go although we're all gussied up. Thank you, ZB!
This better end up on the radio EVERYWHERE otherwise I’m going to be so disappointed in the world!
Zach, you’ve saved me in so many ways and helped me find peace with so many things. Keep producing these bangers 🖤🖤
The video and song hit hard. Love this. It's like a fast life in a small town and the girl everyone loves for many reasons. A part of the crew and a few others, and still torn between a couple of people she can't let go of. Feels like I was watching my high school sweetheart. I don't know how he embodies rural life in America with every song, but he does. Instant favorite singer. Zach Bryan is the GOAT
I’d do anything to see him in concert- or anywhere 😭 I love him so much
I play this video every day at least once. I never tire of it. Such talent in their DNA. I live near their NorCal ranch and can’t wait for them to play here. ❤ RIP Hag Your sons are a tribute to you music style. Long live classic country music.
Same at least once a day. Zach is a once in a generation talent and truth teller

I recall hearing this for the first time last summer, and it takes me back as soon as i hear the first chord. Where i was, who i was holding hands with, the smell in the air, this song is a time machine for me.
Man there was a minute where I felt Country music was dying. This is some damn good stuff.
Please make this into a movie! Omg ❤
The song is a 10 out of 10... but the music video is just... chefs kiss.... just so well produced, love seeing music videos that actually follow the story of the song.
I told you you were gonna go far bro.. im just sorry I never got to drum with u but that one night we met at my brother's Halloween party on my cajon.. my gf and daughter know all the words to this song its my daughter's favorite 😊 Thanks for being real and staying true to yourself man and making such great music
