As a abused person and having a friend/savior died that night and my ex-husband is in prison. I’m grateful for Michael’s help and I miss him every single day. My 11 month old son and I got away from the town and state where it happened. I make 2 trips a year to the city to visit Michael’s grave. Once for his birthday and again at Christmas. He loved Christmas. I will never forget the selfless act Michael did that night nor will I ever forget the lives he gave my son and I have been able to live. ❤
This is whole song is a double entendre concept. From his perspective, it was better for him to be chained up for his actions than for her to live chained up in her partner’s abusive actions. All he asked of her is to wait in the truck…for him. There are so many meanings into this great song. Great reaction 😎👍🏾
clothes on my back and a backpack with any important paperwork. My siblings drove 6 hours to come to rescue me. I had to force my brother to just drive off after I got in the car and he saw that my eyes were bruised shut and I couldn't speak because my windpipe was crushed. He was so controlling that he drove out those six hours to my family's home with a shotgun to kill me and kill himself. Thankfully my father and brother were both there. This was almost 20 years ago and I still have anxiety attacks and PTSD from the physical abuse, rape, and mental trauma that I endured. But I am a Survivor. He was not a part of my child's life for many years until my son got older and never paid child support. I worked three jobs, went to school full time, became a psychologist to help others that have been through trauma, and continue to do so. I have since gotten married and had two children with the man that is "dad" to my son. HE raised him with me. HE paid for all his expenses, HE loves him as one of his own. That is what a Father should be.
If you notice at the end she's also singing "have mercy on me" with him. Like maybe she feels guilty that he's locked up for life for protecting her. I don't know if it's a comment on how DV victims are made to feel worthless and small or if it just sounded good musically, but damn... it hits hard. The whole song hits hard.
You have one of my favorite reactions to this song. Very thoughtful and heartfelt. Most people don’t understand why women stay, but sometimes you are trapped for so many reasons that no one thinks about. And so many nights when you are scared, the avenging Angel would be so welcome. I just wish the court system would have considered justice served and he walked out with her to the truck.
Great song and reaction. I like the end scene of the video because it symbolizes how she was still waiting in the truck after 5 yrs has gone by. That's pretty deep.
Great reaction! I had to run with my 3 babies to save our lives, we started over with only the clothes we were wearing that day,. The cops were no help (I tried repeatedly and they looked at my bloody busted up face and told me if did as I was told he wouldn't hit me) and after years of getting away with getting worse and worse, we had to run. Every situation is different, but the constant is that no one has the right to abuse another person.
This video was awesome, and it brought awareness to several areas--- Hardy is an awesome talent. his ability to tell us a story we relate to and put us at the scene is unmatched... as is Lainey Wilson- it also shows us that not everyone in the system is there for being an animal . Morally innocent people go to jail every day, for breaking societal laws. BTW, I have watched and subscribed to several people via this song, and enjoyed your reaction
It was like watchin a 2-hour movie 🎬 in 5 minutes! It got me good cuz I've been there!! Chills all over my body when the music cut out when he walked up to the door! DANG MAN!
Powerful lyrics there! That was happening to my cousin and I felt like Hardy and my cousin loved that song because she was the one on the other side of that fence with who she married and left! That song really hits home! We love it!
You got it right. Me as a woman I love this song. I know women who need unlikely angels. If more people stepped up this world would be a nicer place. Her soul is still hurting after her thank you, but she has relief in her eyes with hope for her future. I'm glad you seen deeper and heard deeper in this video. Bless you
Not only let her risk that again but even if he was sent to jail he would be out early and would repeat the same to another victim over and over again. The man in the song decided it ended there and he would never have the opportunity to repeat his abuse again
I was in an abusive relationship for over a decade and I prayed for a way to survive many times (his family was in law enforcement and it wasn’t until I moved 4 states away I was able to finally break free). It’s not easy to always feel like your looking over your shoulder or that your being kicked out of the domestic violence shelter because he’s called and asked for you. I made a lot of choices out of fear but I always put in the Lord’s hands 🙌 and trusted He would bring me through.
Yes it's definitely his truck. She's still waiting in the truck. And she hasn't touched a thing in it. Look at the reflection of the stuff in the windshield. His lighter and change and knife is still there. She still sees it as his truck and he is still protecting her. Every southern man and woman knows what wait in the truck means when said in a certain way. It's still another level of protection. He doesn't want her involved in his solution of her problem. Good man. All the way around. Good Man.
This song represents help for the helpless. Most people turn their head to ugly, dangerous, and disgusting things. This song shows a true rescuer with all the bad that can happen. Some get worse than life in prison, some pay with their own life. But the victim will, and can not show how much it means to them. They never completely recover but they do find a breath, and some hope for their future. Most times a child is in the mix Also. Help anyone you can specially if they are abused in any form.
im 59 and these i helped 5 women get out Some that have asked me if i was scared I said no the abuser wouldnt want to take on my husband and thats what would happen
Some of the scariest dudes I knew were raised by a single mom who got this over and over again. Too young or small or both to help their mom. They turn out different.
Yeah i agree. I believe Mike Hardy may have been one of those lil guys at one time and in the song when he seen her it was a trigger. He may have been to little to help his mom but he ain't little any longer he may not have been able to help mom but he can help this girl. There are so many ways to interpret this video but as a woman that lived it day in and day out as a child watching dad abuse mom it is definitely a trigger when you come across Ed it as an adult. It just hits different.
My husband had me listen to this song today and I got really invested in the story like..okay is that it.. what happens next?! I needed the story to continue
A mans honor is what he is. He knew he couldn't walk away and leave her to more torment and possible death. He told her to "wait in the truck" because it was in his hands now. His choice, his sacrifice, his consequence and he wanted her to have no part of that. He made that choice with his honor intact, he was sentenced with his honor intact, he is doing his time with his honor intact. He released her from her prison, her hell and he is at peace with that. Great song. Great topic for discussion.
One of the lines I’ve seen a lot of people reacting miss is the line about her “day of justice coming from a Judge under a seat”. Double entendres because a Taurus Judge is a model of revolver - and the obvious of a judge being the one to deliver Justice.
Sometimes when you got nothing to lose, you’ll give all you got to help someone, you kinda want your life to have ment something. Maybe that was the one good thing he leaves behind.
I haven't heard this yet. Hardy has a way with words and his voice is amazing! Signed, sober you - Hardy is another good one. Eric Church - Love Your Love the Most and Like Jesus Does
Love me some HARDY! actually wearing my Hardy shirt today. More Hardy: "A Rock", "Give heaven some hell", "Jack", "Rednecker", Sold out", "He went to Jared" (with morgan wallen)....one he released yesterday from him upcoming album "the mockingbird & THE CROW"
My dad had waited in a parking lot to see the woman who was clearly abused was accompanied by a man,sent money to my mom to bail him out of jail, but he was ready to save this woman. Luckily an hour later when she had entered that car she was alone, but only lucky for that spouse.
He knew what had happened to her because he could relate to her because he possibly lived it.. with his mom and dad. He was taking the steps to save her from a future of abuse and death. It satisfies him to do that because of all the years of watching his dad to it his mom until he killed her and no one did anything to protect her and he was too young to help her. He is grown and took the steps necessary to protect someone. Now he is relieved and satisfied the guilt he carried for his own mom.
Funny thing is even though he broke in, he technically acted in self-defense. He shot before he would have been killed. In those situations it's you or them. And the boyfriend had considerable firepower over Hardy. A .357 is nothing compared to a 12 Guage pump action. I personally believe that this is the only way to deal with people like that, They never learn! Until they get hurt too. And I don't mean a prison sentence . I had a best friend who was being physically abused by her boyfriend, who was also an old friend of mine. I gave him some verbal warnings that it needed to stop. But, things only got worse, We were only 14 and the parents didn't give a shit, neither did the authorities. Said there wasn't anything they could do. So It happened one more time... And I snapped, I saw him do it this time. Right outside of school! I tackled him (He was taller than me). I am no trained fighter but, I know how to hurt somebody.I landed 12 strong hits into his face. He hit me back hard about 5 times and elbow sliced me. We were both soaked in blood, My other friend Raegan pulled her knife and Mike grabbed a large tree branch. Sean tried to rush at me and I turned and put my fist straight into his chest with as much force as I could. I Heard a rib crack and he was at a loss for words and breath. On the ground crying like a little bitch. We hovered over him and told him that if he ever crossed us or Rose again, He would be without another 2nd chance at life. We called the paramedics and police. Me and Sean recovered from our struggle. He moved to Texas and Rose to North Carolina. The rest of us in Ohio... 8 years later. Still keep in touch with my friends we all remember that day, like it was yesterday. We were all affected by the actions of Sean. But, no one more than Rosellen. Best wishes to my Best Friend!
It was a .357 in the video but the lyrics say it was a Judge which can shoot a 410 shotgun shell itself so he wasn't quite as outgunned as the video makes it seem, lol
Yeah, you can't break into someone's house and then claim self defense. As much as a POS that guy was, he was defending himself and his home. He had no idea who Hardy was or why he was kicking his door down. As much as we cheer Hardy in this story, it was premeditated murder 101. He grabbed his gun before going in and breaking the door down. It's obvious that was his plan as soon as he asked her where he was. He made the choice and suffered the consequences, which tells you even more about the kind of person he is. He was willing to give up his freedom so she could have hers.
Sometimes you have no choice even if it’s the right. Someone I knew in school, their mom is still in prison for killing her husband(might have been divorced I can’t remember) because despite a RO he broke into her house and she had to make a choice. She chose protecting her kids and herself. I still don’t think she should be in prison for it. I’m a mom now and I would do anything to protect my kid. I see it with mom eyes now but my feelings haven’t changed. Nothing would have stopped him from hurting her and those kids. Restraining order did nothing to protect her. What choice did she have in that moment?
Whether or not he deserves to go to prison hes a real one for risking his life to save that girls life. You know how the system works man…Dude would get a lawyer and be out in a week. Hed pay a fine and get probation. Then hed kill her…
May I add and maybe I'm putting to much into this so if I am forgive me.. But I noticed some very compelling things no one has caught. 1st she IS driving his truck ANOTHER MEANING TO "wait in the truck" IS fulfilled because he tells you she's been coming to see him for 5 years.IN HIS TRUCK! I believe she's waiting for him because she knows he's a good man. "On occasion" could possible mean the once or twice a week visitation allowed by the prison. 2) Look at the scenes of them walking away from each other. She is headed into the light/life while he is headed to a darkened cell. The hem of her jeans could be a symbol of freedom also, see how they kind of look like wings flapping but his are in chains...she is free completely free no abuser no harm on the other hand he is "a prisoner"(written on his back by the way) and has no freedom. He exchanged his freedom for her to escape her prison. just my 2 cents.
Yes, she driving his truck still. he told her "wait until the truck"! She waited as killed ashole. She's waiting on him to leave jail BC she owes him that
I'm sick of living in a world where even mothers say they wouldn't commit murder to protect their own child. They wouldn't take that risk for their own kid. Let alone a stranger. Me, I say wait in the truck... I got it covered. Got a judge under the seat. I don't care if you are a stranger or my blood.
It took the second listen for me to understand the Judge under the seat line!
The gun he uses is a Taurus Judge, to add another layer to it.
You should do “Lightning” by Eric Church if you like story telling songs
@@pancakesweats5033 he has
Hopefully a .410 Slug chambered in that 5 shot
But the gun isn’t a real judge
The thing people miss is that he didn’t just protect her, he protected every woman to enter his life after her
As a abused person and having a friend/savior died that night and my ex-husband is in prison. I’m grateful for Michael’s help and I miss him every single day. My 11 month old son and I got away from the town and state where it happened. I make 2 trips a year to the city to visit Michael’s grave. Once for his birthday and again at Christmas.

Maybe encountered this before, possibly didn’t save someone he thought he should have and this was his breaking point
Your assessment of God putting him in that town to save that girl .. awesome!
REAL courage is doing what you know is right, consequences be damned. From the time he saw her he knew his fate and did it anyways.
Southern Justice Ya'll. True Story.

We can't have vigilantism BUT they should have taken into account the extenuating circumstances
Great song and reaction. I like the end scene of the video because it symbolizes how she was still waiting in the truck after 5 yrs has gone by. That's pretty deep.

It's a rule in life if a Southern man tells a lady "wait in the truck", it's about to get ugly
It was like watchin a 2-hour movie 🎬 in 5 minutes! It got me good cuz I've been there!! Chills all over my body when the music cut out when he walked up to the door! DANG MAN!
Powerful song. You are right a tough situation
Powerful lyrics there! That was happening to my cousin and I felt like Hardy and my cousin loved that song because she was the one on the other side of that fence with who she married and left! That song really hits home! We love it!
Most people missed the fact she's still waiting for him in his truck at the end of the video...
She was driving his truck at the end of the song props to you not a lot of people realize that.
A complete stranger but he knew he could not let her risk a repeat. You can see wounds but there is a look of a spirit almost dead in someone's eyes.
You got it right. Me as a woman I love this song. I know women who need unlikely angels. If more people stepped up this world would be a nicer place. Her soul is still hurting after her thank you, but she has relief in her eyes with hope for her future. I'm glad you seen deeper and heard deeper in this video. Bless you

Goosebumps every time I watch this. It's been many
HARDY is awesome react to all of his songs he doesn't have a bad one. But I would do "give heaven some hell " next
and once you know more about the guy, the mockingbird & THE CROW is incredible
@@carli09 100% agree that song is awesome.

I LOVE your "Divine intervention" theory. That hit it for me. Great reaction and I agree 100%!
In some situations call for more than getting angry. They call for reaction!
Such a good song, means a lot to us survivors
Jimmy First time seeing You, And I have to say You Seem Like a Really good Guy. Very rare nowadays. Thank You!
I appreciate that!
Thanks for sharing your reaction Jimmy its one of the best
Great song and excellent reaction my man! I loved that you actually listened to the words and tried to make sure you understood very thing going on.

React to HARDY "Give Heaven Some Hell." That's a story all of us know too well. Great job on your reaction!
I’ve watched so many reaction videos to this song and your the only one that noticed she is still in his truck while leaving the prison
Hardy. Give heaven some hell.
The best song writer in Nashville!!❤
Sometimes when you got nothing to lose, you’ll give all you got to help someone, you kinda want your life to have ment something. Maybe that was the one good thing he leaves behind.
Sometimes the moral thing isn’t legal and sometimes the legal thing isn’t moral.

Song is 🔥
The scales of justice isn't always fare
Love me some HARDY! actually wearing my Hardy shirt today. More Hardy: "A Rock", "Give heaven some hell", "Jack", "Rednecker", Sold out", "He went to Jared" (with morgan wallen)....one he released yesterday from him upcoming album "the mockingbird & THE CROW"
He released a handful of songs.. I was like oooh lots of new music today. I thought I forgot about release day or something lmao
❤❤❤ Thank you for reacting from a survivor
Truth is, the guy would have done it again, and again.
Took me a few weeks to listen to this song. Just from the title. So happy I did. What an amazing song. ❤
Avenging angel.
scales of Justice
She's been going and seeing him for 5 years already and she's still waiting in his truck. He did what was right and he's just doing his time.
This song reminds me of an old saying I heard a long time ago, 'People are punished all the time for doing the right thing.'
Thx for the reaction
The law treated him as if he killed a human
This shit should be legal!
5 years later, she's still waiting in the truck.
The Judge is a five shot revolver designed and produced by Taurus 45 Colt cartridge.
I like how he asks for mercy from the Lord, not the state.
He sacrificed his freedom so she could have hers.
She is at the end of the video driving his truck. She still waiting for him. Still waiting in the truck
Country music tells a story.
“The judge underneath the seat” is a reference to the Taurus pistol called The Judge that shoots both .45 colt and .410 shot gun shells…
Such a powerful story.
On the other side, it was a home invasion.
My dad had waited in a parking lot to see the woman who was clearly abused was accompanied by a man,sent money to my mom to bail him out of jail, but he was ready to save this woman. Luckily an hour later when she had entered that car she was alone, but only lucky for that spouse.
Fantastic song and great reaction video.
Hardy actually gifted Lainey a Judge for her birthday. The Judge is a gun. I've shot one it's one hell of s gun.
you should do "give heaven some hell" by HARDY!! another great song
Loved your reaction!!!!
He knew what had happened to her because he could relate to her because he possibly lived it.. with his mom and dad. He was taking the steps to save her from a future of abuse and death. It satisfies him to do that because of all the years of watching his dad to it his mom until he killed her and no one did anything to protect her and he was too young to help her. He is grown and took the steps necessary to protect someone. Now he is relieved and satisfied the guilt he carried for his own mom.
Let my daughter walk in the door lookiing like that chick, and there wont be a second thought... I look good in orange. !!!!!!!!
My 1st reaction to your channel. Great job and such an friendly smile!
Great song and Reaction !!
Yes, he gave her the truck.
the scales of justice is left to every human to weigh its balance you can obey mans law or pay for it later
Funny thing is even though he broke in, he technically acted in self-defense. He shot before he would have been killed. In those situations it's you or them.

That is exactly my thoughts, he should have claimed self-defense
@@ambergagnon120 You can't break into someone's home then claim self defense for shooting them when they go for a gun.

GIVE HEAVEN SOME HELL - HARDY
I just heard this song recently and really like it
Hardy is one of the best songwriters In Nashville
If you like songs with a good story you should do Cattleman’s Gun or Brothers by Dean Brody or The Snake by Eric Church

She's waiting in the truck
He made sure that SOB would never do that to anyone else there are still real men out there that doesn't put up with that BS
Whether or not he deserves to go to prison hes a real one for risking his life to save that girls life. You know how the system works man…Dude would get a lawyer and be out in a week. Hed pay a fine and get probation. Then hed kill her…
May I add and maybe I'm putting to much into this so if I am forgive me..
But I noticed some very compelling things no one has caught.
1st she IS driving his truck ANOTHER MEANING TO "wait in the truck" IS fulfilled because he tells you she's been coming to see him for 5 years.IN HIS TRUCK! I believe she's waiting for him because she knows he's a good man. "On occasion" could possible mean the once or twice a week visitation allowed by the prison.
2) Look at the scenes of them walking away from each other. She is headed into the light/life while he is headed to a darkened cell. The hem of her jeans could be a symbol of freedom also,
see how they kind of look like wings flapping but his are in chains...she is free completely free no abuser no harm on the other hand he is "a prisoner"(written on his back by the way) and has no freedom. He exchanged his freedom for her to escape her prison. just my 2 cents.
Divine intervention
"Whiskey scars I hid" refer to her husband/boyfriend getting drunk then beating her.
You want a recommendation. Try Chris Stapleton- Tennessee whiskey - Austin City limits version.
Deep lyrics
And she's still waiting in the truck
Yes, she driving his truck still. he told her "wait until the truck"! She waited as killed ashole. She's waiting on him to leave jail BC she owes him that
I'm sick of living in a world where even mothers say they wouldn't commit murder to protect their own child. They wouldn't take that risk for their own kid. Let alone a stranger. Me, I say wait in the truck... I got it covered. Got a judge under the seat. I don't care if you are a stranger or my blood.
I am new. I connected with your emotions
I’ve never seen anyone pause the video soooo many times
Wait in the truck is southern for aßswhìppìng😊
