“People ruin people, I don’t wanna ruin you” might be one of the deepest lyrics I could hear right now. The fact that he could turn such dark thoughts we have about ourselves into such a beautiful and moving song blows my mind. My girlfriend got me a Zach Bryan shirt and I wear it all the time. Thank you so much for your music, please come to south Florida sometime.
Don’t know if you’ve heard something in the orange but it’s got a “similar” sound to this song. Faster pace than his songs usually are. I’m really hoping it’s in the album. UNREAL tune. I’m also hoping he records it similar to how it’s done in one specific live performance of his. Sounds phenomenal.
I first learned of Zach back in 2018 when I was struggling with some personal demons and world dilemmas. Watching him grow as an artist, at the same time watching myself grow out of homelessness and into a proud soldier, now living close to Austin, this song just hits a little close to home. Job well done, Zach. I appreciate all you do!
I was driving my son to rehab out in Austin while his girlfriend was breaking up with him over the phone, we cried listening to this song. He’s clean now and we both love this song. He made From Austin.
The beauty in the painful twist and turns of the lyrics honestly made me tear up. It’s one of those songs you can listen to over and over again because you pick up a different nuance each time. I love the sound, but the lyrics are everything to a song. These lyrics made this song really reach the heart.
Exaggerate much... He's very talented but hardly a country music legend. Compare him to Cash or Hank or Nelson. What has Zach really accomplished compared to the greats?
@@TremendousSax have you seen Zach preform in person? To have every audience member know the words to 95% of his songs. The mix of crying and screaming when there favorite song comes on. Being a good artist isn’t about top sellers and how big your name is. It’s about how you make people feel.
@@mauriceradtke673 I didn't say he wasn't a great artist: that's moving the goalpost and straw manning me. Your original comment said he should be in the hall of fame; I don't agree because he doesn't have the iconic status of a legend imo
We all followed you from the start, we grow with you, watch you, listen with more than our hearts and minds. You and your music are deeply appreciated from us all. You've saved many. Thank you, Zach.
sir life has been kicking my ass these last couple months. financially, my girlfriend left me for my "best friend" work is worse than ever shits going on with my family but your music has gotten me though it every single day. I know you dont know me but thank you for being there for me. love you zach
Hey bro times get hard, but keep your chin up and chest out. Sometimes the sun goes black, but that doesn't mean it aint shining. God Bless and good luck Man.
You have inspired a small town musician like me to one day be able to write songs from the bottom of my heart. To put my deepest and most meaningful thoughts into words and chords and finally be able to put them put into the world. Thank you for being in this world.
My god the lyrics too this song hit me so hard. I literally just discovered you today and im at one of the lowest points of my life. Your pulling me out with every song I listen to. Much love brother keep on keeping on.
[Verse 1] There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue I'm finally leaving Austin and I wish it was with you I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure How much can a southern girl honestly endure? Remember northwest mountains, they were snow-capped in June You were napping on my arms on a Sunday afternoon But, babe, I've gotta heal myself from the things I've never felt Repression is my heaven but I'd rather go through hell [Chorus] It's 'bout time that I left Austin 'Bout time you settled down With a man who doesn't move as quick As the train rolling through town 'Bout time that I face The hard times I've let go If love was just an ocean I would drown before I float [Verse 2] You remember getting drunk on the outskirts of this town When I gave you all I had, but it still let you down? Everyone I've ever loved has either left or died Wish I was born with concrete shoes, but I'm leaving tonight [Chorus] It's 'bout time that I left Austin 'Bout time you settled down With a man who doesn't move as quick As the trains rolling through town 'Bout time that I face The hard times I've let go If love was just an ocean I would drown before I float [Post-Chorus] Float Float [Bridge] There's concrete below me and a sky above so blue People ruin people, I don't wanna ruin you I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure How much can a southern girl honestly endure? [Outro] And I'm finally gone from Austin You finally settled down With a man who didn't move as quick As the trains that rolled through town I finally had to face The hard times I've let go If loving you was an ocean I'd have drowned so you could float Your welcome thank me later
Sometimes I just listen to his music, and read the comments. So many stories, so many relatable experiences. Everyone of them you can almost pin point the part in the song that speaks to them. That’s the work of a masterful story teller, and his music speaks to the masses. Don’t ever stop doing what you’re doing Zach, your fans are blessed to have you. ❤️
Same. What I'm doing right now. The part that speaks to me is "if lovin you was an ocean I'd have drowned so you could float". That one gets me every time.
This albums gonna blow him up I can feel it. So proud to see him go from recording in barns to stardom but a little sad I won’t be able to show people his music for their first time anymore
Zach, thanks to make this song exist. As this song represented my feelings today. I just took decision that I’ve never know I can take it in my life. Let go & move on from someone that I love. “ people ruin people, I don’t wanna ruin you.” I heard that lyrics hit me, while I was walking in the park after saying to him I let him go after I confessed that I loved him much & willing to make it work but he thought I deserved someone better than him while I want only him. Not anyone else. I choosed to stay & told him I’m willing to staying in his side however the conditions is, to make it from zero to hero. But seems he’s struggling much about himself & I can’t do anything with it, only thing I could do is just be on his side. But still it doesn’t give me clarity that there will be something good at the end for us. Instead, he wish I could meet someone better than him. And that time I know, people ruin people but I don’t wanna ruin you means a lot for me. I don’t want to ruin myself as how I loved someone genuinely but they might be ruin me. I took hard decisions & respectfully let him go as how he expressed to me obviously supporting me to take that decision. I wish love that we deserve found us in the right place & time. And I’ve never regretted things that happened in a short time between me & him. I shared him a lot of your songs, he evens ever jealous once I called I love you zach & all of your songs. Thanks Zach, some of yours songs such a warm hug for me & for all the peoples here that loves you. God bless you ❤️
zach i have tickets to your Kansas City show. I was wondering what it takes for me to be able to meet you after the show. I can’t stop listening to your music. you’re awesome.
There are these moments where I forget about the feeling of what it’s like to play music. The painful release of feeling too much. I sometimes forget there’s a way to hurt healthily in that moment of catharsis. Like when I heard “heading south” for the first time. It came at the right moment of my indifference. And your music always does. Or when my mom passed and I heard “November air” for the first time and every piece of your hurt I felt. It wasn’t so long ago my mom sat in a well used chair and told me tales of her younger years. Thank you for helping me remember why it is I write and play. It’s comforting to know there are other people out there who have hurt and loved as you have. Makes the world a little less lonely. Thank you.
“depression is my heaven but i’d rather go through hell” “if love is just an ocean i’d rather drown before i float” god damn. this song is full of beautiful lyrics. criminally underrated song.
I've been listening to this man since I found Heading South a few years back. Absolutely blown away by the tracks he continues to produce and how far he has come. He is earning himself a position on the pantheon of greats.
“Gave you all I had and it still let you down, everyone I ever loved left or died.” This man never misses! I have leaked more fluid listening to this man, then any other individual who’s ever walked the planet. Thank you Zach for writing and singing what my heart can’t say.
Started listening to him 3 years ago.. came across his music at 4am. Best mistake I’ve ever made in my life and I’m proud to finally be able to say I’ve been along on this mans ride since the very beginning and it’s amazing watching his progress as a man and a singer. I love it.
30 seconds of any one of Zach's songs make the entire CMA awards show seem like a parody. When you sing what you know you don't have to pretend. God Bless you ZB. You are exactly what we all need, in the nick of time.
My ex and I listened to something in the orange a lot while we faded out. I just went to Farewell Fest to see Zach Bryan. It was the first weekend road-tripping and camping on my own in three years. I’m from Austin. I live in Oregon now. This song hit me like a ton of bricks. Right moment in my life for this. I’m on a healing journey and this gave me strength today💕🤘🏻#austin
I understand your comment I remember a few years ago austin was the best city for love but now I don't need to say anything about now I think you may know.
He’s pure musical gold a poet a message conveyer, a preacher to those in need of a solid Sermon, he’s a gift to all who’s listening. Thanks for sharing your talents and remaining humble and pure
I’m sitting here in the parking lot at work listening to this before work. “ Everyone I’ve ever loved has either left or died.” Pondering life choices. Thank God for my kid. And thank God for Zach. These 2 things are enough to get me through it
There’s have only been three people in the past 43 years that I stopped what I was doing to listen to. Willie, Tyler and now Zack. Fuck yeah man, love it!
This song makes me sob, because when I read the line “people ruin people, I don’t want to ruin you” I think of raising my daughter & having mental illness and how it could affect her 😭
The fact that you are aware of your illness and concerned about how it would affect your daughter says a lot about you as a person. You have a good heart. That’ alone will get you through Your worries. Keep up the good work you will be fine.
Here at 3.2k views. His career is just getting started. I and so so many more are excited to see where his music will take him. This man will go down in history as one of the greats!
I moved from Texas to Florida, I've seen the snow capped Rocky Mountains. Left a girl to follow my dreams, and I'll tell y'all this song hits hard. No words can describe how much this song means.
Your the reason I’m still here your musics passion has helped me through my dark time and my good ones.Can’t wait to go to fort sill always wanted to go to Oklahoma.But keep trucking brother your words set inspiration for those who know who you are.
You really are doing a wonder for me, when I was having a hard time finding god you helped me get closer to my feelings and my real self and kept me kickin through the hard times I'm excited to see what the future has for me
I know I’m late brother but I heard your music on Yellowstone and flipped my shit. Since discovering Elisabeth, you quickly became my favorite musical artist and hearing you on that show that is so perfect for the sounds you make was heartwarming
So! I wasn't sure this morning when Alexa played this for me- it was a little different sounding. Now I am hooked. Probably 20+ listens in. Took about 10 listens to stop checking on my doggy at the beginning, haha. What a great song. Like stepping into a whole different world for 3 minutes and 58 second. Feels like a flash, a moment. Super exciting and good!
I remember hearing Heading South for the first time. After hearing it, I wanted to know who in the world this Zach Bryan guy was. Since then, I've listened to every single song of his. Zach is one of a kind and his songs speak to me like no other artist has. Can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
First, THANK YOU Zach for your service to our country. Secondly, I didn't think Zach could make a song that would top some of my current favorites but I was so wrong, I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! Zach's voice is incredible & his lyrics so perfect. I cannot wait for May 20th!!! Also please come to the DC area!!
This whole album is going to be the best he’s definitely helped me through my hard times and relationships was going to see him live but had to work but next time he comes my way I’m going thanks Zach for such pure lyrics in your songs
Give this man his flowers already, not only did he serve his country for years and do a damn fine job he comes back and begins work on so many country songs that are classics upon release then not to mention doing tours and still working on 2 brand new albums before we’ve even had the time to completely comprehend what came before 😅 mans a legend
Along with Tyler Childers, this is the next generation of what we will push on our children & grands. Much like ours pushed Cash & hank Williams jr on us.
Your voice is one in a million young man and your lyrics on so many of your songs hit home. Thank you for being you. And blessing us with your voice and talent. Music is such a healer of depression.
If it wasn't for my wife and my first born son I would have been long gone a long time ago. He taught me to love and she taught me acceptance! With out him her and our other two children I know Id be dead or in prison!!! Thank you kitty koco pelly, blaeze, and Harrison!!!! Your my rock!!!

He is wonderful. I have no words. I am old school country. Waylon, Merle. Cash, but there a few youngins comin up that are fantastic. True musicians. This young man is one of them. I saw him at the outlaw music festival. He came on before chris stapleton. I was truly impressed by his talent and his humbleness. I am one of his many new fans. He will be as great as well known as Chris stapleton is.
I've gotta heal myself from the things I've never felt Repression is my heaven but I'd rather go through hell This is one f the most accurate things ever written
3 years ago I realized that what Brad Paisley was to my older brother, Zach Bryan is to me. So glad we all have this man in our life. God bless you and your families 🙏🏼
Honored to be alive in this mans prime. i know he’s gonna be one of the greats we all tell our grandkids about. we all love you brother

"Everyone i've ever loved, has either left or died" ... that hit hard
Agreed. He will be in Miami March 11!!!
Omg yes! Please come to Florida! We would love to have you!
O no I won't be able to make the 11th 😭
Yep March 11th In Miami also here in April Was lucky enough to just see him in Lexington KY
For all the OG Zach Bryan fans out there, our boy has made it, we can now rest
I never doubted him he is so good now I just hope he doesn't change when he gets all the perks.
I knew when I stumbled on that TH-cam video 5 years ago he would be huge
Been watching him for 4 years and I knew as soon as I heard one of his songs he was gonna be one of the greatest
From the early campfire recording to this it’s been a great ride. Love this man
Yesss
This man is singlehandedly walking me through a divorce of 17 yrs I can't even begin to explain what his music has done to help me

[Verse 1]
There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue
I'm finally leaving Austin and I wish it was with you
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?
Remember northwest mountains, they were snow-capped in June
You were napping on my arms on a Sunday afternoon
But, babe, I've gotta heal myself from the things I've never felt
Repression is my heaven but I'd rather go through hell
[Chorus]
It's 'bout time that I left Austin
'Bout time you settled down
With a man who doesn't move as quick
As the train rolling through town
'Bout time that I face
The hard times I've let go
If love was just an ocean
I would drown before I float
[Verse 2]
You remember getting drunk on the outskirts of this town
When I gave you all I had, but it still let you down?
Everyone I've ever loved has either left or died
Wish I was born with concrete shoes, but I'm leaving tonight
[Chorus]
It's 'bout time that I left Austin
'Bout time you settled down
With a man who doesn't move as quick
As the trains rolling through town
'Bout time that I face
The hard times I've let go
If love was just an ocean
I would drown before I float
[Post-Chorus]
Float
Float
[Bridge]
There's concrete below me and a sky above so blue
People ruin people, I don't wanna ruin you
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?
[Outro]
And I'm finally gone from Austin
You finally settled down
With a man who didn't move as quick
As the trains that rolled through town
I finally had to face
The hard times I've let go
If loving you was an ocean
I'd have drowned so you could float
Your welcome thank me later
Is it later yet?

"Depression is my heaven but id rather go through hell" damn that was deep. Keep killin it.
When I listen to zach bryan, so do my God damn neighbors!!!
At 66 years old...so so impressed with this young pup who writes like an old soul. "I gave you all I had but it still let you down" sooooo relatable.
Brink of world war 3 but Zach droppin a different type of hit. It’s a great day to be alive

He’s one who’s singer just don’t get worse over time, they continue to get better.
i am so happy this was released tonight, i thought i was waiting for may to get this one.

This song makes me sob, because when I read the line “people ruin people, I don’t want to ruin you” I think of raising my daughter & having mental illness and how it could affect her 😭
The fact that you are aware of your illness and concerned about how it would affect your daughter says a lot about you as a person. You have a good heart. That’ alone will get you through Your worries. Keep up the good work you will be fine.
Let’s goooo. You’re a legend Zach
This video will one day have millions of views. I'm happy to be here today :)
Here at 3.2k views. His career is just getting started. I and so so many more are excited to see where his music will take him. This man will go down in history as one of the greats!
Can't wait to hear more @zachbyran come to boise or Emmett idaho! You are underrated but so many people here know you! Much love!
Here for another solid song 🎵 I knew my bad sleeping habits would pay off
This guy can song write his ass off
Been listening too Zach since the start of his music career this man helps me fight my demons thanks Zach
Damn I love Zach Bryan
I moved from Texas to Florida, I've seen the snow capped Rocky Mountains. Left a girl to follow my dreams, and I'll tell y'all this song hits hard. No words can describe how much this song means.
How’s life brother
I heard this song just once a couple of months ago.......
Depression is my heaven, but I'd rather go through hell....
That hits the soul
I've never felt more in touch with an artist before. This man is amazing keep doing what you're doing man.
Your the reason I’m still here your musics passion has helped me through my dark time and my good ones.Can’t wait to go to fort sill always wanted to go to Oklahoma.But keep trucking brother your words set inspiration for those who know who you are.
Thank you so much you're out here helping taking care of real orphans for real for real🇵🇷❤🌾💪🌱🙏🏽💛 the songs you write are like gold for the soul
You really are doing a wonder for me, when I was having a hard time finding god you helped me get closer to my feelings and my real self and kept me kickin through the hard times I'm excited to see what the future has for me
I can’t even explain what your music does to my feelings. I can’t even explain it! I’m so glad my friend introduced me to your music in 2020.
I know I’m late brother but I heard your music on Yellowstone and flipped my shit. Since discovering Elisabeth, you quickly became my favorite musical artist and hearing you on that show that is so perfect for the sounds you make was heartwarming
Boys wake up Zach posted
your my fav artist, your music touches my soul i swear, Love from these Mountains in PA
The raw potential in this song writing is mouth watering. Also understands the need for a powerful chorus, we have a young Isbell.
So! I wasn't sure this morning when Alexa played this for me- it was a little different sounding. Now I am hooked. Probably 20+ listens in. Took about 10 listens to stop checking on my doggy at the beginning, haha. What a great song. Like stepping into a whole different world for 3 minutes and 58 second. Feels like a flash, a moment. Super exciting and good!
WAKE UP BOYS ZACH DROPPED
I remember hearing Heading South for the first time. After hearing it, I wanted to know who in the world this Zach Bryan guy was. Since then, I've listened to every single song of his. Zach is one of a kind and his songs speak to me like no other artist has. Can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
coming from a guy that only listens too rap this song is beautiful
People ruin people, I don’t wanna ruin you
Future G.O.A.T....
The videos just hit different
Man you’re so special. I’ve followed you since the jump. Please never change. You do so much for people.
This song just knocked me to my knees. I'm a OTR trucker from TX
First, THANK YOU Zach for your service to our country.
Secondly, I didn't think Zach could make a song that would top some of my current favorites but I was so wrong, I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! Zach's voice is incredible & his lyrics so perfect. I cannot wait for May 20th!!! Also please come to the DC area!!
Hello Katie how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
I see that notification and heart instantly warms thank you Zach.
Man, he’s just such a gift, such a talent… Just so humbled to watch him grow and get to be a part of it.
This whole album is going to be the best he’s definitely helped me through my hard times and relationships was going to see him live but had to work but next time he comes my way I’m going thanks Zach for such pure lyrics in your songs
Give this man his flowers already, not only did he serve his country for years and do a damn fine job he comes back and begins work on so many country songs that are classics upon release then not to mention doing tours and still working on 2 brand new albums before we’ve even had the time to completely comprehend what came before 😅 mans a legend
FRIYAY with some Zach, classic. Peace to all!
Along with Tyler Childers, this is the next generation of what we will push on our children & grands. Much like ours pushed Cash & hank Williams jr on us.
Let's go another hit damn amazing
Hard to believe you’re only 25….you have a voice of an old soul. Truly amazing 🤙
Your voice is one in a million young man and your lyrics on so many of your songs hit home. Thank you for being you. And blessing us with your voice and talent. Music is such a healer of depression.
Hello Patti how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??

Yes. Needed this
There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue
I'm finally leaving Austin and I wish it was with you
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?
Remember northwest mountains, they were snow-capped in June
You were napping on my arms on a Sunday afternoon
But babe, I've gotta heal myself from the things I've never felt
Repression is my heaven but I'd rather go through hell
It's 'bout time that I left Austin
'Bout time you settled down
With a man who doesn't move as quick
As the trains rolling through town
'Bout time that I faced
The hard times I'd let go
If love was just an ocean
I'll drown before I float
You remember getting drunk on the outskirts of this town
When I gave you all I had but it still let you down
Everyone I ever loved has either left or died
Wish I was born with concrete shoes but I'm leaving tonight
It's 'bout time that I left Austin
'Bout time you settled down
With a man who doesn't move as quick
As the trains rolling through town
'Bout time that I faced
The hard times I'd let go
If love was just an ocean
I would drown before I float
Float
Float
There's concrete below me and a sky above so blue
People ruin people, I don't wanna ruin you
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?
And I'm finally gone from Austin
You finally settled down
With a man who didn't move as quick
As the trains rolled through town
I finally had to face
The hard times I've let go
If loving you's an ocean
I'd have drowned so you could float
A legend in the making
He is wonderful. I have no words. I am old school country. Waylon, Merle. Cash, but there a few youngins comin up that are fantastic. True musicians. This young man is one of them. I saw him at the outlaw music festival. He came on before chris stapleton. I was truly impressed by his talent and his humbleness. I am one of his many new fans. He will be as great as well known as Chris stapleton is.
Hello Mary how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
I've gotta heal myself from the things I've never felt
Repression is my heaven but I'd rather go through hell
This is one f the most accurate things ever written
Such an amazing gift!! Your mom raised an amazing man! You deserve it all and I have loved watching your journey. Your smile makes me smile. 😊
3 years ago I realized that what Brad Paisley was to my older brother, Zach Bryan is to me. So glad we all have this man in our life. God bless you and your families 🙏🏼
