The critics are just intimidated by this song because it's a man, in his role, doing exactly what a man was designed to do. Provide and protect
In my hillbilly culture there used to be a difference between a murder and a killing. A murder was a crime, like killing someone during a robbery. A killing was something like taking care of a wife beater or child abuser when the local law was either negligent or just indifferent to protecting people out away from the cities.
“I never thought my day of justice would come from a Judge under his seat” is going to go down as one of the best single lyrical lines of all time. There is so much to unpack in those 15 words. It speaks to our broken justice system and how it fails innocent victims. The irony used with “Judge” is pure genius. We all expect judges to deliver justice. We just never expect it to be a Taurus Judge. Even referencing the seat……old truck……with a bench seat. Where do judges rule from? The Bench. 15 words……in todays world of “manufacturing” music, Hardy has chosen to craft it.
He traded his life for hers. That’s all it was. Brought tears to this old man’s eyes.
This song is so powerful because it's about a man who does what knows he has to do despite the comsequences of it. The repeated refrain "Lord, have mercy" is so important because he's appealing to the right authority. He doesn't want or expect mercy from the earthly authorities but he wants, needs and expects God to weigh his heart.
Let me get this straight….. so rap and that whole type of genre can talk about murder for no reason, gang banging , gang murder, rape, etc- but when a country song talks about avenging someone it’s suddenly a big deal to worry about?
For anyone who might be curious: My girlfriend couldn't figure out the line in the chorus "come from a judge underneath his seat". The firearm you see the gentleman use in the video is called "The Judge". Made by Taurus firearms and features a unique (and terrifying) ability to fire both 45 caliber long Colt ammunition AND 410 shotgun ammunition.
This is why I told my wife she had to stop telling me about her work when she was a child abuse investigator. I was very close to telling her to stay in the truck.
My cousin did something similar and just got out after serving 19 years in prison. He forced someone who preyed on children to take the room temperature challenge. Based on the justice system in the state he was in, i believe he did the right thing.
I was a writer for Sony in Nashville for 4 years… you should realize, Hardy is probably the best country writer for the last 10-15 years. AND COUNTRY NEEDED IT.
You can see by the look on Michael's face that this song just awakened his inner YEEHAW
I have ben doing law enforcement for 38 years , sometimes there is no justice unless served up by someone as in this song
The other unusual thing about this song is that it's two separate stories. They aren't singing to each other, just telling their part of the story.
I know a story about a man who traded places with us and took the punishment on himself. 🤔 We know these types of abusers get away with it on a daily basis. What a great song and an even more powerful message.
We can agree or disagree with the morals or the actions or argue about whether these things are justified. But this song is just damn good. And you can't argue with that.
The cops told my daughter to leave the house with a baby and blood all over her. They did not arrest HIM they stood by and told HER TO LEAVE!! this story in this track needs playing to judges and the police
When my mom was a little girl (in the early 70s) there was a guy in his early 20s that raped and beat a young teen girl with Down syndrome nearly to death. He then proceeded to get drunk and brag about it. My mom remembers because she’s from a small, rural town and the girl’s older brother went to to school with my uncles. Well, the local police wouldn’t do anything about it (guy’s daddy was rich). Long story short, some months later he went to a party down by the river and was never seen or heard from again. 🤷♀️
The only surprise to this song, is that it took this long for someone to write a song about it. As a Deep Southerner, I've heard "Stay in your room", "Stay inside", "Stay in the Car", "Stay in the Truck", "Whatever happens, just stay right here", etc., all my life.
I speak on this as a domestic abuse survivor, this is just my viewpoint. This song has been incredibly healing even almost ten years after escaping that person as much as I can. For those who have never experienced it firsthand, it is insanely hard to move forward even ten years later. I can still tell you there are things that stick around from years of trauma living in that life. Hardy has always been a storyteller and he will always be one to the best.
I love the fact that when she leaves, she gets back into the truck. The same truck he was driving. She's "waiting in the truck".
