Kip Moore Unpacks 'Payin' Hard,' New Song About His Father's Death

- Kip Moore promises he'll perform his vulnerable album closer "Payin' Hard" as soon as he's allowed to get in front of fans again. It's a song - perhaps the song - from 'Wild World' that will resonate deepest with those who've loved and lost.
It's also a song that leaves a few unanswered questions.
Talking to Taste of Country earlier this year, the now 40-year-old Moore described "Payin' Hard" as his most personal ever. "I think that it’s a very direct mirror on what I was feeling during this specific time of my life of writing this record, when I was completely wiped in every facet, having a lot of questions in my head, wondering if I’d done things the wrong way," he shared. "I’ve always been so consumed with this because I love it so much that I end up neglecting things that are important to me in my life. And I’m starting to find balance and understand that I don’t know if I’m willing to do that anymore."
Fans will immediately hear every word of that quote in the three verses, one each about a lost love, his late father and his future. The verse about his future is the most ominous but the acoustic picker actually begins with memories of an old flame. "Janie" returns after she helped open the Wild World album (May 29) with "Janie Blu."
“Janie is a real character," Moore tells Taste of Country Nights in the above video interview. "I do that a lot with my records. Mary was all over the first one. I’m never gonna tell you who it is but there definitely are characters that will influence records at times and different songs. A lot of this is my way of sometimes releasing whatever bones I might have buried in a natural way and trying to process … the feelings I’ve had through the years, that way I can move on from it.”
"My life's a credit card / Play now, pay later and I'm paying hard," he sings at the chorus of "Payin' Hard."

Kip Moore, "Payin' Hard" Lyrics:
Heaven knows I've had me one hell of a time / But like the night gives way to the morning light / There's a pounding in my head again / I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tired.
And I can't help but think of Janie and those pretty eyes / Yeah she was sweet as berries on a summer vine / She had a heart of gold, we were burning coal / Hotter than a sidewalk in July.
Chorus:
At the expense of my heart I cashed in my soul / Chose this old guitar before the only love I know / I gotta live with that, lose sleep with that / When I close my eyes I'll die with that yeah / My life's a credit card / Play now, pay later and I'm paying hard.
I've heard it said that moments come and then they pass / And they sure passed me by when I should have saw my dad / But I plugged it in to another town, swore another chance would come around again / I plugged it in to another town, swore another chance would come around again.
And now he's gone, the kind of gone that don't come back / I only see him now in dreams that I have / I gotta live with that, lose sleep with that / When I close my eyes I'll die with that, yeah.
My life's a credit card / Play now, pay later and I'm paying hard.
"So long my friends, I guess this is my farewell / Damn all these pennies swimming in my wishing well / Told every single story that I have to tell / I'll live with that, sleep with that, make my peace and I'll die with that, yeah / My life's a credit card / Play now, pay later and I'm paying hard.
And I'll live with that, sleep with that, make my peace and I'll die with that, yeah / I'll live with that, sleep with that, make my peace and I'll die with that, yeah. - เพลง
What's your favorite LIVE Kip Moore song?
Every single one of them!
Heart's Desire 🏴
Phew. It is so hard to pick. Backseat is probably the song that immediately comes to mind as the song of Kip's that really HAS to be heard live to fully appreciate. The live version of "Midnight Slow Dance" is also electrifying. I feel like the energy is palpable when he sings that song live!
She's Mine
Taste of Country hey pretty girl or last shot. Last shot is so underrated.
"Paying hard" is one of the Kip Moore songs that I really appreciate 💜
Losing my Dad was like someone ripping my heart out. I still look for him. Kip's music brings me back from some dark places so I take my hat off to him for"Payin' Hard". I hope he can let go of his regrets and I'm pretty sure his Dad would be so proud of him. Love ya and thank you
