LYRICS
My friend David was a good kid
He had my back, always knew he did
He was different than most
And maybe I was too
And hanging out with the in-crowd just wasn't our thing
There was a whole lot more than we could see on these plains
Well, some people just seem to get stuck, and hang around
It's college or trade school for those with the means
There's never been any small town for those in between
Yeah, the poor folks they go to work, or they go to war
I did fifteen hundreds days in the corps
And I got back, nothing looked the same anymore
I got on with the local police, it just seemed to fit
Things have changed
By then David had a daughter and a son
And a rap sheet to prove all the time that he'd done
He was just a burned out, beat down shell of my old friend
And on a three day binge he was speeding through town
And I bumped the wailers just to try and slow him down
He didn't know that it was me, and he took off
Oh how things change
And I found his truck in the floodplain upside down
It was a hell of a rain I didn't know if he'd drowned
Or if he died on impact, it must have rolled three times
Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse
Is that his mama's a late night ER nurse
And he was DOA, she just about lost her mind
David's wife drops by every once in a while
And childhood stories always make her smile
But somehow we always go back to that day
When I found his truck in the floodplain upside down
It was a hell of a rain, I don't know if he'd drowned
Or if he died on impact, it must have rolled three times
Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse
Is that his mama's a late night ER nurse
And he was DOA, she just about lost her mind
And ain't it the times?

This is the perfect example of a well written song that takes imagination, life experiences and talent to create. The “country” music played on the radio today still blows my mind on its level of popularity. Sorry but I’ll take creative, meaningful music over catchy, top of the chart any day of the week.
Saw Cody and Jamey Johnson together, what a great show. This guy doesn't get enough recognition for his talent.

That'd be a HELL of a show.
The first verse of this song gives me chills each time
Let’s blow up the KZread algorithm… show this guy as much support as possible
I love how this song is so catchy and up-beat and dancey and the lyrics are so sad. It takes true creativity to mesh those kinds of things into something wonderful. Can't get enough Cody Jinks!

This may be “Outlaw country” but it’s far better than any other new “country songs” nowadays. I see this as country more than just outlaw country

Cody is a true musician... He is a complex lyrical songwriter along with crafting outside the lines chord patterns...yet retains the quote traditionally country genre in this song.. as you could almost see some like..say Fleetwood Mac pulling this song off..

One of my favorite songs ever!!!!

Love this song but can't listen to it very often. It hits so very close to home. The first time I heard it I couldn't breathe and absolutely ugly cried, but I love everything Cody Jinks does and if this song sneaks up on me once in a while it's definitely worth the tears!!!

Listened to this a million times. Brings the feels every one! This red rocks version is absolutely my favorite and imo the most powerful version of the song. Live it has a bit of a classic Drive By Truckers vibe. Thanks Cody!
