I battled with addiction from 18-26 im 27 now and just over a year sober. I lost my self & wasted my early 20s chasing a high I loved but realized the high didn’t love me back. I used to joke about being an alcoholic to hide from reality. I tell you now I look great and feel even better. Much love to everyone
Love this song. Was an alcoholic off and on. Meaning I would stop for 6 months then stop again for 3 yrs. Guess I still am but haven't had a drink in a yr. I did lose my family of 4 kids for bout 2 weeks, then we gave it to God and I haven't wanted a drink at all. It's hard when everyone around me still drinks. I don't ask anyone to not drink around me, I was a messy drunk and no one should have to stop cause of me. I still go to bars just drink water and continue being the funny me sober. Realized I am still the star of the show just sober and I remember everything now. Back in the gym and gaining muscle back and losing the whisky belly and red swollen face. I am here with everyone who is battling addiction. It's hard but find a reason to not drink. My family was my reason. I love them more than drinking.
I just got sober just under 3 months ago, and a month into my sober time was my 24th birthday, if I would’ve kept onto that bender for that whole month beforehand I wouldn’t have made it past 23. I’m so grateful, and I love country but never heard this song. It really struck a chord with me. If you’re struggling reach out to someone. We care, we get it. This thing has no minimum age requirement.
I’m leaving for the Marines soon I was looking for something to relate to while I’m in bootcamp. I lost my girl because her father and brother didn’t respect me 8 years of my life and nothing to show for it.. enough of my sob story I always knew it wouldn’t last. Time to become a man and handle my business I am promised to be sober by 24 6months to change my life forever 💪🏼 God first ✝️
I'm over a year and a half sober now. I've was using IV opiates for roughly a decade. I'm now 28 years old. My pain fed my crippling opiate addiction. My opiate addiction caused me more pain. I'm much better off now that I'm sober, but the pain is all still there.
I’m just saying that it’s hard to stop the drugs that you like so much I and I’m 50 years old and I quit drinking when I turned 21 and drove home from the bar and didn’t even remember how I did it but the next day I quit drinking and I have a drink during the holidays but it’s hard for people who have been drinking so much alcohol that they don’t want to give it up
I was a Chronic Alcoholic for 23+ years and finally gave everything to God. I ended up with Avascular Necrosis and had both my hips replaced at 44 & 46. My bone density is still in horrible condition, but May 3rd, 2024 I'll be Sober 7 years.
I am 3 months sober today, and I am 33, turning 34. Discovering this song got me through some tough times as my mother looked down at me from heaven. Bless everyone struggling and know it does get better.
I'm 33 too & have over a month of sobriety under my belt. Most surprisingly for me though is I've given up cigarettes too. I truly have no desire to ever go back to any of it & I owe it all to finding the right Church & reading the Scriptures every day. God bless anyone reading this.
I lost my DaD in January He was 85.😢He was probably an alcoholic, but retired military and had an amazing career with the Phone company. He NEVER DRANK AND DROVE. Sometimes he went months with no alcohol. COULDN'T BELIEVE THE CONTROL HE HAD. Even if he got falling down drunk, the night before, in his 40s and 50s He would sober up, take a shower and go to his manager job without missing a beat. I'm pretty sure the jab he was convinced he needed by his soon to be exposed physician was the reason for his stroke and ultimate demise. He had been golfing weekly for years. It's not always the alcohol that kills folks! Washington State senior citizens BEWARE....
Happy this song finally got the video it deserves. First night you played this song on Idol, I sobbed. It reminded me so much of my brother. He, sadly, didn't turn his life around, and didn't make it out the other side. Glad you did. Congratulations and keep up the hard work. We're all pulling for you!
@@Sam-rf3qd You can do it. There will be set backs, but keep your focus on your goal. You took the biggest step already. Be really proud of that accomplishment ! Good luck to you, Sam! Pulling for ya! 🙂
I have followed Chayce’s journey since his audition on American Idol. I have been fortunate enough to have seen him perform live twice. After the second concert, I had the pleasure of meeting this incredible young man! I am extremely happy for Chayce and I’m looking forward to watching his career grow! I love him and his music!

This man needs to come to southern IL. We all love his voice and his lyrics. This single song has saved many of my friends from the darkness of depression and addiction. I love you all for progressing every single day even though it is an uphill climb!
My addiction was too much for company also. Drove away the best woman a man could've asked for and damaged her deeply, made her a completely different person . I'm 24 rn sitting in detox . My son is what keeps me going . I've gotta stop this cycle . Been to rehab 3 times about to be a 4th and I can say confidently this is it.
i don't even think you have the slightest idea about what you just said. The fact that you recognize the mistakes you have made is one thing. The fact that you "damaged her deeply, made her a completely different person" is another. You're taking ownership and recognizing the consequences of your actions. That's major!! I deal with many people with addiction issues. I am addicted to soda and chocolate. That may sound stupid but I cannot stop. I can only try to imagine being addicted to something that has a stronger hold on you. I believe you have one of the greatest chances of survival than many others because of the insightfulness you have exhibited. As a nurse, I cared for a 23 year old alcoholic who died due to the damage he did to his pancreas from chronic pancreatitis as a result of alcohol abuse. Believe in yourself; you can do it.
@@donnathompson1619 thank you ive just failed many times so it gets disheartening. but im in rehab now been here for a month its a 4 month program. my dad passed and i used as an excuse to use and then i Od'd almost died was narcanned twice so im taking that as im supposed to be here and decided to really put my mind to it. but your words bring me hope as well. this is like my 4th or 5th time getting " clean" and going to detox or a rehab but i feel this is it
Sorry for the delay in response. I am a nurse and encounter many people in varying situations similar to what you describe. When I was a kid I thought it was "cool" to smoke so I tried. When I found myself "getting the urge for one" I knew I needed to stop. It was snowing outside and I didn't want to let it control me. My father was an alcoholic who physically abused my mother and brother, fist, police, the whole 9 yards. It had devastating consequences on my life. Please don't be insulted by this. I am addicted to chocolate and Pepsi, as a result have a weight issue. I cannot stop. This song helped me realize, OMG, I have a problem. This isn't just a craving, it's a darn addiction. I cannot begin to imagine what others go through in situations where the monster wants to consume you. The urge, the temptation to "just have one" knowing full well it will start all over again. I am making a conscious effort to change my ways, although I have failed so many times. I cannot stand to look at myself. It's embarrassing. I guess it depends on how badly we want it. Please be sure to distance yourself from anyone who would put you in a situation to fail. If they do, they are not your friends!!!!@@theonlyDB
@@donnathompson1619 thats the difference in you and I, I never once took or done any drug because i thought it was "cool". first drug i ever did was hydrocodone syrup that was prescribed at 14 years old. when i felt the intense motivation and confidence i was instantly interested in any other chemcals thqat could alter my state of mind. opioids ended up being the main because i was severly antisocial and had social anxiety and it basically cured it. so i just got to learn to live life how it waas meant to be without that. psychiatrist said i was depressed and had bipolar before using which is what lead to my addiction. im on antidepressants and bipolor and anxiety medication now and im sober right now and feel srt of "normal" one day at a time
Simple as my mama said when I was very young She told me not to worry son One day, you'll be someone But here I am at 21 As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun I'm sorry mama Please don't look at me When I got to Oklahoma I was 17 My papa taught me how to work and Lord, he was mean Working all day in that August heat He taught me how to fish My uncle taught me how to drink Well, I went California and I had me a band And we played in all the bars in all the southern lands We played all night, and we drank for free All of my boys and me Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me Soon I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more I know I shoulda taken it slow It's not the way that my life goes Now I know When you're passed out on the floor You're sober by 24 Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time And I'd drink my whiskey and she'd drink wine But soon my bottle was too much to comfort me Yeah, we'd sit on the river and we'd fish all day And we'd drive across the country, let the radio play Seven damn years, I never thought she'd leave Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me Soon I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more I know I shoulda taken it slow It's not the way that my life goes Lord, I know When you're passed out on the floor You're sober by 24 Simple as my mama said when I was very young She told me not to worry son One day you'll be someone But here I am at 21 As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun I'm sorry mama Please don't look at me
Chayce is unique. I’ve been listening to this song on loop for a while now. I’m not a big fan of country, but Chayce is the one kind of person who makes country sound really, really good. Bravo.
Idk how this song came into my playlist, but I can relate to almost everything he's saying from letting life go by too fast, taking it for granted. To being 23 years old, drinking whisky as if it's water
I’m 23, just discovered this song in the most random spot - YT Shorts - and I love it. Been drinking too much recently, been struggling to find love, and been feeling alone lately. Got one real friend and no real aspirations yet, but hopefully all that will change. ❤️
Stay strong brother! I reccomend to look into some reject modernity stuff, go into that rabbit hole, start the grind and start your journey! You are not alone ❤
I feel ya brother. Iv been on my own since I was 12 living house to house. Had all my best friends and cousins I was always really close with but then we all just grew apart and Iv had no real friends since. Got with someone at 18 and was with for 16 years but she done nothing but cheat our entire relationship but I lied to myself over and over saying she’d stop so I’m now 34 and 100% on my own. This is the times real friends come in handy.
I'm an immigrant from Dominican Republic. Took the chance to move to California by myself. Worked as a janitor day and night and weekends for a year and a couple months for free and was victim of an BPD and abusive girlfriend who would put me out of the apartment everytime we had even a tiny argument. I touched bottom and manifested everything and let it to God work it out and since Jun this year I became my own boss and I work for myself and I own my time as well. Keep going. It's gonna be worthy! Don’t give up!
This song just speaks to me. I'm the mom of a 24 year old addict who is currently sober. I listen to this over and over and the video is amazing! Keep this kind of music coming.
I can't stop listening to this or sharing it with ones I love. I entered a Sober Living by my on accord "work on me". Powerful my brother. Just for the record I'm female, 59 yrs old, been to GA penitentiary twice. Upper middle class raised worked every job from Corporate America to " Guess your weight guess your age" on a fair circuit. It works if you work it Much love to ALL.
Almost 24 here. Goodluck. being 23 was definitely more surreal. Had more freedom definitely drank much more than i should have, and i still don't know who i am.
The first time I heard this song, I was struck by how catchy, haunting and beautiful it is! The guitar playing is extraordinary too! I had never heard of this artist before I heard this song but now, I am definitely mesmerized by his ability!
exactly. While I know nothing about guitars, I actually played it and asked my husband what kind of guitar was used in the song. I can't stop listening to it.
Growing up I had an abusive, alcholic father, and being the first born, he treated me like a son. He was hard on me, gave that tough love men always love to dish out. Being an adult now, having my own alcoholism, I can see his pain and why he would lash out. It wasn't anything I did, but this song really hits home for me. The way that he says momma don't look at me, is exactly how my father feels. I know because that's how I feel. The shame and humilation is something you deal with daily, and hearing these words are so eye opening. Cause life is not worth living that way. I love the rawness of this because it could fit SO many of life's difficult circumstances.
Omg! LOVE THIS SONG! My oldest son, is in prision because of alcohol, and was 24 when he was locked up, this song is like you wrote it for him, all of it fits him to a T. Amazing song, brought me to tears, God bless you and your journey !
Chayce Beckham, congratulations! You are a star in this video performing your very own song! I love❤it! On repeat, downloaded and I'll just keep on listening! 💕This is Wow!
I’ve liked this song since the 1st time I heard it on the radio. I gave up alcohol about 23 years ago and haven’t looked back. Someone very close to me is battling the Demon’s.
Don’t give up. Don’t let your guard down. Stay strong. You will be tested many times in your future. Be ready for them. Congratulations on 2 months my friend.
Just turned 23 I worked as a helper on the pipeline and do road construction I feel like I have no days off and I’m taking off on my first vacation in my life and this song really pushed me to explore and there’s more to life then work and die.
We gotta get that grind on while we're young 💪 yes there's more to life than work, but if you can manage to put that money away or into investments or property set yourself up while you have extra time to. As a 25 yr old starting a small business, I wish I had saved more from those 100hr weeks
I've been fighting addiction for 5 years now, I'm 26 years old, I lost everything I held dear, my 2 daughters don't want to talk to me anymore... lost childhood friends... and I'm still fighting but I'm convinced of one thing nothing is impossible so I will continue to fight until that day when I will be able to deliver the final blow ✊🏼
Great attitude to have bro I'm also an alcoholic I've been weaning myself off for several years now since I was around 23 I've gone from drinking a 12 pack and a 1.75l of Jim beam apple every day between noon and midnight too a few beers a day our battle is a very long marathon and most definitely not a sprint I've also got to the point where I'm at without any help or rehab at all its been all on my own it just takes time will power and persistence along with the patience to keep trying even though you're going to have the occasional set back
HUGE fan. I heard this song while I was on the road to Oklahoma a few weeks ago. Instantly captivated. At first, I thought it was just an annoying tune. But then I loved it. By the end I was singing along with the tune, humming the melody. I'm 23...and have been battling bad Lyme for about 7 years. A whole lot of it I've been mopey and sad and blamey. I'm getting my life on track. My dream is to be better @24. I just finished one of my treatments an hour ago.
that strange triple hammerdown pull off within the basic first two chord structures..........priceless .....the curve of the key in that song with the quickness gives a great elevation to the message of the song, the youthfull uncertainty eccedra eccedra eccedra
I was drunk everyday from 16-19 I’m very lucky I made it through this song makes me feel like I’m not alone and I appreciate your whole being as a person
You are not all alone and i am very proud of you! i had problems from age 24 until 31 (2 years ago) when i finally made one last try. and been a battle too and from but i am now not declared a user anymore. I am so happy to see this comment of yours! stay strong friend! Greetings from Sweden!
Best country song of all time, this music video deserves 100% pure country, that might give the opportunity to share all of the memories and inspiring moments in your life I hope you have a great future and experience the #1 song in the country charts, that would be this song. You could have a Award for #1 best music video and Country of the year.
My buddy Dakota he is a real homie. he is struggling with a serious drinking problem thats starting to get ahold of him. I care about him and i know he will get through it. he puts this song on a lot and it helps me remember him when we dont talk that much. I know this song helps him when he has hard times and this song is a masterpiece. Thank you for helping my friend with this amazing song. ❤
Turning 23, just realized love ain’t for me, families everything to me but I’m always in fear of what the future will bring, I can’t help but worry about the times and how fast they past, my aspirations are wasted on me. This song has something really magical about it.
You’re not alone. We all feel this way, you’re just brave enough to say it. Keep you dreams, work at them and when it happens you can tell your younger self and children it’s worth it. Pass it on. ❤
Dad was a drinker, I steered clear of most of it. Thank God I realized early on that Drinkin is something to keep at a minimum.. So I’ve always had a healthy relationship with it. I’ll never let it lead.
In the beginning, this song stuck in my head like a toothache. Well today this song is #1 according to the Billboard Country charts. See? I was right! Chayce, U da man!!
Heard this song on the country star app game. I became a huge country fan because of it, learned new music, and this one included. New favorite genre I believe.
Working on dads old truck at like 3 in the morning, this song started playing and I was going to change it but I let it play, best decision I made that night.
This song reminds me of two of my characters in the book series I wrote: a mom and a son who both struggle with alcoholism. She was 22 when she stopped drinking and 23 when he was born. He is 22 currently and heavily drinking. I thought the dynamics of the song with my characters was phenomenal, so thank you for this great song of inspiration.
Shout out to the sons and daughter who once disappointed their mothers but got themselves together and changed for the better and now makes their mother proud!!!!!!!
The vulnerability and courage to share this part of your life continues to amaze me. And that looks shows how much you have thought about this part of your life. Thank you
Wonderful gritty song. Those hard driving bass guitar parts make this song along with his heart felt voice. Saw Chayce live on Luke's farm tour near Colfax, Iowa. Go see a show people! Best voice ever on live stage.
To all the young blokes including myself im 23 turning 24. If you yourself are having a few "drinks" but its every afternoon you have a problem, if you struggle to stop and keep drinking after just a few drinks you have a problem. If having a few drinks afterwork everyday is your normal because it helps you relax you have a problem. Im just getting out of it, 12+ drinks every night since i was 16 maybe 6 months of somewhere in-between. It takes alot to admit it and it takes a hell of alot more to stop it. I just hope some blokes come to the realisation oneday that what they are doing will and does affect them. Its not a matter of if it will happen, its a matter of when it will happen. Imagine being 24 years old and you have liver cancer failing kidneys etc from drinking, imagine one of your mates refusing to stay at yours and driving home one night after a long shift, & all of a sudden you have to explain to the police and the courts how he only had a few drinks & why it couldnt have possibly been the cause of multiple people possibly being dead. Drinking does us no favours, we should only be drinking on very rare occasions. In memory of somone a wedding someones significant milestone aka 20-30-40th bday etc.
Great song/video Chayce! Love it! It certainly highlights the negative sides of alcohol abuse and it's so touching that you shared your personal story through this. Congratulations on your success. Come to Canada on tour.❤
Im 23 and 2 months sober just trying to find myself, man it's not easy I've been drunk or high since I was about 15, finally figuring out who I am is so satisfying.
First time I heard it on the radio I thought of my son. His dad had a hard life and wasn't a nice dad. My son started drinking too young to drowned out his thought & feelings. By the time he was 20 he was fighting everyone. One mother's day I got an early morning drunk call from jail. After that he started turning his life around. Now he doesn't drink at all.
Damn this is a great song!! The part where they see each other gave me instant chills when i think about myself and how far I've come from where i was.
I love reading these comments about everyone’s sobriety and getting better mentally makes me think there’s hope for this lost Australian.
There is bro I believe in you
There is hope! Ask God for help. He will help you 😊🌷💖
This stranger from Denmark believes in you!
There’s always. Gotta be sick and tired of being sick and tired. Much love from the US

I became sober from alcohol at age 24- it’ll be 17 years in June and I don’t regret it for 1 min 🙏
Love this song. Was an alcoholic off and on. Meaning I would stop for 6 months then stop again for 3 yrs. Guess I still am but haven't had a drink in a yr.

I am here with everyone who is battling addiction. It's hard but find a reason to not drink. My family was my reason. I love them more than drinking.
I got sober at 25. That was 23 years ago. My son is now 23 and struggling himself with the drink. Please pray for him.

Come on down Chayce. Can't wait to hear about it.
I just got sober just under 3 months ago, and a month into my sober time was my 24th birthday, if I would’ve kept onto that bender for that whole month beforehand I wouldn’t have made it past 23.

All you need to do is get a sponsor, ask for help, and go to meetings. That's what kept me sober for almost 10 years.

Sorry for the delay in response. I am a nurse and encounter many people in varying situations similar to what you describe. When I was a kid I thought it was "cool" to smoke so I tried. When I found myself "getting the urge for one" I knew I needed to stop. It was snowing outside and I didn't want to let it control me. My father was an alcoholic who physically abused my mother and brother, fist, police, the whole 9 yards. It had devastating consequences on my life.
Please don't be insulted by this. I am addicted to chocolate and Pepsi, as a result have a weight issue. I cannot stop. This song helped me realize, OMG, I have a problem. This isn't just a craving, it's a darn addiction. I cannot begin to imagine what others go through in situations where the monster wants to consume you. The urge, the temptation to "just have one" knowing full well it will start all over again.
I am making a conscious effort to change my ways, although I have failed so many times. I cannot stand to look at myself. It's embarrassing. I guess it depends on how badly we want it. Please be sure to distance yourself from anyone who would put you in a situation to fail. If they do, they are not your friends!!!!@@theonlyDB
@@donnathompson1619 thats the difference in you and I, I never once took or done any drug because i thought it was "cool". first drug i ever did was hydrocodone syrup that was prescribed at 14 years old. when i felt the intense motivation and confidence i was instantly interested in any other chemcals thqat could alter my state of mind. opioids ended up being the main because i was severly antisocial and had social anxiety and it basically cured it. so i just got to learn to live life how it waas meant to be without that. psychiatrist said i was depressed and had bipolar before using which is what lead to my addiction. im on antidepressants and bipolor and anxiety medication now and im sober right now and feel srt of "normal" one day at a time
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
She told me not to worry son
One day, you'll be someone
But here I am at 21
As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
I'm sorry mama
Please don't look at me
When I got to Oklahoma I was 17
My papa taught me how to work and Lord, he was mean
Working all day in that August heat
He taught me how to fish
My uncle taught me how to drink
Well, I went California and I had me a band
And we played in all the bars in all the southern lands
We played all night, and we drank for free
All of my boys and me
Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me
Soon I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more
I know I shoulda taken it slow
It's not the way that my life goes
Now I know
When you're passed out on the floor
You're sober by 24
Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time
And I'd drink my whiskey and she'd drink wine
But soon my bottle was too much to comfort me
Yeah, we'd sit on the river and we'd fish all day
And we'd drive across the country, let the radio play
Seven damn years, I never thought she'd leave
Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me
Soon I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more
I know I shoulda taken it slow
It's not the way that my life goes
Lord, I know
When you're passed out on the floor
You're sober by 24
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
She told me not to worry son
One day you'll be someone
But here I am at 21
As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
I'm sorry mama
Please don't look at me
FAITH, HOPE & LOVE PREVAILS! = EARTH! 🌍🕯️🌎
Ever get that one song in your head that won't leave you alone? This is it! Love this song.

😃😃😃😃😃
Uuuuuu YES
Psalm 23
Had this on replay last 3 days lol
Mama...said..."You'll always be someone...." God loves you...and Mama too...❤😊
Great voice and great lyrics
Chayce is unique. I’ve been listening to this song on loop for a while now. I’m not a big fan of country, but Chayce is the one kind of person who makes country sound really, really good. Bravo.
He may be a country singer but I'm not convinced this is a country song lol.
@@Ssalyer41 Point is, good song
I love this song I got sober on my 34th birthday . I had an extra ten years of research to do.
Idk how this song came into my playlist, but I can relate to almost everything he's saying from letting life go by too fast, taking it for granted. To being 23 years old, drinking whisky as if it's water
Same
This will be forever a great song for all us lost sons! 🤘
❤❤
My dad taught me to fish. He died in 98. And my uncles tonight me how to drink
@@joshuaslater2269what?? 😂😂😂
I am your 200 like
@@jencerami6942 thanks! 🤘
I’m 23, just discovered this song in the most random spot - YT Shorts - and I love it. Been drinking too much recently, been struggling to find love, and been feeling alone lately. Got one real friend and no real aspirations yet, but hopefully all that will change. ❤️
Stay strong brother! I reccomend to look into some reject modernity stuff, go into that rabbit hole, start the grind and start your journey! You are not alone ❤
Stay with what u love and do what u love
It won't. But life is what u make it. Do you chief that's all that matters
I am 60 years old and have been alone for 6 years after 3 marriages. I am now dating another 60 year old and life is awesome. It always gets better.
I feel ya brother. Iv been on my own since I was 12 living house to house. Had all my best friends and cousins I was always really close with but then we all just grew apart and Iv had no real friends since. Got with someone at 18 and was with for 16 years but she done nothing but cheat our entire relationship but I lied to myself over and over saying she’d stop so I’m now 34 and 100% on my own. This is the times real friends come in handy.
I'm an immigrant from Dominican Republic. Took the chance to move to California by myself.
Worked as a janitor day and night and weekends for a year and a couple months for free and was victim of an BPD and abusive girlfriend who would put me out of the apartment everytime we had even a tiny argument. I touched bottom and manifested everything and let it to God work it out and since Jun this year I became my own boss and I work for myself and I own my time as well. Keep going. It's gonna be worthy! Don’t give up!
Why you stole my comment?
This song changed my mind about the Country Music Genera. This song absolutely slaps. Great job
This song just speaks to me. I'm the mom of a 24 year old addict who is currently sober. I listen to this over and over and the video is amazing! Keep this kind of music coming.
Hello there 👋
Being the parent of an addict must be one of the most frightening ways to go through life. Ill be thinking about your family!
Hi this is my new favorite song and I love it so play this song everyday
Heard this the day I started to take my recovery seriously. Thank you sir.
That’s so cool. I’ll pray for courage and strength for you.
I’ve been sober over 11 years now. This song speaks so much to me.
Way to go. Keep up the great work
25 years sober. Didn't believe it was possible. God and AA have kept me sober.
Amen I'm 14 and I go to AA and it's a blessing
All you man
I can't stop listening to this or sharing it with ones I love. I entered a Sober Living by my on accord "work on me". Powerful my brother. Just for the record I'm female, 59 yrs old, been to GA penitentiary twice. Upper middle class raised worked every job from Corporate America to " Guess your weight guess your age" on a fair circuit. It works if you work it Much love to ALL.
Won't let me love your comment

I am turning 23 today
And instead of listening to Taylor Swift 22
I start listening to this masterpiece
Almost 24 here. Goodluck. being 23 was definitely more surreal. Had more freedom definitely drank much more than i should have, and i still don't know who i am.
Yep.
The first time I heard this song, I was struck by how catchy, haunting and beautiful it is! The guitar playing is extraordinary too! I had never heard of this artist before I heard this song but now, I am definitely mesmerized by his ability!
I was literally thinking the same thing bro.
Great minds think alike! 😁@@oakgutowski7031
I was addicted to his voice from the first time I heard it now I could listen to it all day every day lol what a great artist, phenomenal voice
exactly. While I know nothing about guitars, I actually played it and asked my husband what kind of guitar was used in the song. I can't stop listening to it.
Great Minds think alike! @@oakgutowski7031
Old school country. So glad this still exists. So much better than the new country
Growing up I had an abusive, alcholic father, and being the first born, he treated me like a son. He was hard on me, gave that tough love men always love to dish out. Being an adult now, having my own alcoholism, I can see his pain and why he would lash out. It wasn't anything I did, but this song really hits home for me. The way that he says momma don't look at me, is exactly how my father feels. I know because that's how I feel. The shame and humilation is something you deal with daily, and hearing these words are so eye opening. Cause life is not worth living that way. I love the rawness of this because it could fit SO many of life's difficult circumstances.
Omg! LOVE THIS SONG! My oldest son, is in prision because of alcohol, and was 24 when he was locked up, this song is like you wrote it for him, all of it fits him to a T. Amazing song, brought me to tears, God bless you and your journey !
This song is about your mother. Respect her.. Enjoy the time you have with each other. Before she's gone..
Chayce Beckham, congratulations! You are a star in this video performing your very own song! I love❤it! On repeat, downloaded and I'll just keep on listening! 💕This is Wow!
I’ve liked this song since the 1st time I heard it on the radio. I gave up alcohol about 23 years ago and haven’t looked back. Someone very close to me is battling the Demon’s.
almost 2 months sober 🤍
Same congrats !
Hang in there bro
Wonderful! Keep going!
Don’t give up. Don’t let your guard down. Stay strong. You will be tested many times in your future. Be ready for them. Congratulations on 2 months my friend.
@@markanderson1088 thank you 🙏🏻
We just need to wakeup And realize life has more than we think u just need to be clear headed to see it. 👌🙏
Just turned 23 I worked as a helper on the pipeline and do road construction I feel like I have no days off and I’m taking off on my first vacation in my life and this song really pushed me to explore and there’s more to life then work and die.
Good Luck to you always. Remember you are in the beginning of your life. I'm sure it will get much better for you. Be strong.❤
bc canada? cheerss
We gotta get that grind on while we're young 💪 yes there's more to life than work, but if you can manage to put that money away or into investments or property set yourself up while you have extra time to. As a 25 yr old starting a small business, I wish I had saved more from those 100hr weeks
I've been fighting addiction for 5 years now, I'm 26 years old, I lost everything I held dear, my 2 daughters don't want to talk to me anymore... lost childhood friends... and I'm still fighting but I'm convinced of one thing nothing is impossible so I will continue to fight until that day when I will be able to deliver the final blow ✊🏼
Great attitude to have bro I'm also an alcoholic I've been weaning myself off for several years now since I was around 23 I've gone from drinking a 12 pack and a 1.75l of Jim beam apple every day between noon and midnight too a few beers a day our battle is a very long marathon and most definitely not a sprint I've also got to the point where I'm at without any help or rehab at all its been all on my own it just takes time will power and persistence along with the patience to keep trying even though you're going to have the occasional set back
Love the song… Love my cousin Fallon in the video! You’ve got good taste, Chase! 💯❤️
HUGE fan. I heard this song while I was on the road to Oklahoma a few weeks ago. Instantly captivated. At first, I thought it was just an annoying tune. But then I loved it. By the end I was singing along with the tune, humming the melody. I'm 23...and have been battling bad Lyme for about 7 years. A whole lot of it I've been mopey and sad and blamey. I'm getting my life on track. My dream is to be better @24. I just finished one of my treatments an hour ago.
Hope you feel better soon. Fast recovery! Kind stranger.
GOOD LUCK and NEVER GIVE UP. The Sun ALWAYS COMES UP THE NEXT DAY.❤🎉❤
Best wishes to you when I read what you said brought tears
I love this song so much. the video is great at the end. when you walk past your younger. self and look at him. It kinda gives me chills 😎
Good luck big dog I wish you the best
that strange triple hammerdown pull off within the basic first two chord structures..........priceless .....the curve of the key in that song with the quickness gives a great elevation to the message of the song, the youthfull uncertainty eccedra eccedra eccedra
Congratulations on this song becoming your first to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
Sang this in the drunk tank
You can have your phone in the drunk tank?
I was drunk everyday from 16-19 I’m very lucky I made it through this song makes me feel like I’m not alone and I appreciate your whole being as a person
You are not all alone and i am very proud of you! i had problems from age 24 until 31 (2 years ago) when i finally made one last try. and been a battle too and from but i am now not declared a user anymore. I am so happy to see this comment of yours! stay strong friend! Greetings from Sweden!
you are alone WHY ARE YOU AFRAID
I’m still battling my addiction I’m 21 and have been drinking since a teen
Best country song of all time, this music video deserves 100% pure country, that might give the opportunity to share all of the memories and inspiring moments in your life I hope you have a great future and experience the #1 song in the country charts, that would be this song. You could have a Award for #1 best music video and Country of the year.
My buddy Dakota he is a real homie. he is struggling with a serious drinking problem thats starting to get ahold of him. I care about him and i know he will get through it. he puts this song on a lot and it helps me remember him when we dont talk that much. I know this song helps him when he has hard times and this song is a masterpiece. Thank you for helping my friend with this amazing song. ❤
Turning 23, just realized love ain’t for me, families everything to me but I’m always in fear of what the future will bring, I can’t help but worry about the times and how fast they past, my aspirations are wasted on me. This song has something really magical about it.
You’re not alone. We all feel this way, you’re just brave enough to say it. Keep you dreams, work at them and when it happens you can tell your younger self and children it’s worth it. Pass it on. ❤
Chayce needs to be the biggest star ever, he is pure talent and a true star! 23 finally got a music video like it deserves.
😊 This song is What made me like Chayce I can Relate to this song.
Not the biggest but good 👍
There's one problem with this song. It's not longer!
I'm a songwriter and music production student, I always listen to the billboard hot country and study the songs. This one made a big impression on me.
Yay I’m so excited to see it!
"Loaded as a stagecoach shot gun" ....just think of the meaning of that....
Dad was a drinker, I steered clear of most of it. Thank God I realized early on that Drinkin is something to keep at a minimum.. So I’ve always had a healthy relationship with it. I’ll never let it lead.
Just find the blue light...just find the blue door...ask for HEALING...
In the beginning, this song stuck in my head like a toothache. Well today this song is #1 according to the Billboard Country charts. See? I was right! Chayce, U da man!!
Heard this song on the country star app game. I became a huge country fan because of it, learned new music, and this one included. New favorite genre I believe.
Country star 🔥
Working on dads old truck at like 3 in the morning, this song started playing and I was going to change it but I let it play, best decision I made that night.
This is the most honest, powerful song I have heard in a very long time. Bravo
This song hits home with me. ❤
Congrats Chayce! So great seeing you do big things!! You deserve it, keep at it! This video is awesome and song 🔥
This song reminds me of two of my characters in the book series I wrote: a mom and a son who both struggle with alcoholism. She was 22 when she stopped drinking and 23 when he was born. He is 22 currently and heavily drinking. I thought the dynamics of the song with my characters was phenomenal, so thank you for this great song of inspiration.
This songs reminds me of the country music my dad would listen to when I was growing up ❤
This is what true country sounds like. What new country is imho is crap. Atleast the mainstream stuff
I'm still battling my alcohol addiction, I'm searching but I will eventually find myself
Keep it up you got this
I'm with you my friend 👍 keep on trucking ✌️
I feel ya buddy! Was sober for 3 1/2 years and then slipped back up after a divorce. Stay strong well make it out.
Keep it up
Same here. Battling. As long as we never give up no one can say we were ever defeated.
I’m 32 - I’ve battled addiction my whole life. God bless everyone.
One dayat a time man! God bless
Th8s song should win every award there is. I love it
Definitely a haunting voice....
I heard this song for the first time today. I’ve played it 10 times! Love it and your voice!!!
Wow very heart string pulling. So great. Thanks Chayce. 🇨🇦 💕
At 70 I dig the hell out of his music
Ahhh 23 remember those days! Wish I was 24 and knew what I did today! Love the song! Reminds me of my youth!
Yeah it's like one big game isn't it 😅
You did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing, like you forever！👍😄👏
Shout out to all the sons who disappointed their mothers
Shout out to all the parents that disappointed their children 😂
Thanks brotha I’m living good now
Shout out to the sons and daughter who once disappointed their mothers but got themselves together and changed for the better and now makes their mother proud!!!!!!!
@user-rn2fb2qd3i that's my plan to get sober and I will show them before they pass away
To us all! 😒😞
4.5 yrs sober then threw it away. No one to blame just always felt drawn back to it.
My son played this song for me. Pulls at the heart strings
Wow 😲 this song really tells a story...love it
The vulnerability and courage to share this part of your life continues to amaze me. And that looks shows how much you have thought about this part of your life. Thank you
I found my redemption, learn to go slow, “keep your head low son it’s a battlefield” best quote my grandpa ever told me that I can remember
As someone who is sober from drugs and alcohol for a year now living and working in Oklahoma this song hit different
Wonderful gritty song. Those hard driving bass guitar parts make this song along with his heart felt voice. Saw Chayce live on Luke's farm tour near Colfax, Iowa. Go see a show people! Best voice ever on live stage.
I was on my scrolling mode when I saw your profile and was moved to send a text, hope you are having a good day...?
Love this video! Love Chayce, he’s an amazing singer and person. So kind and humble. The sky is the limit🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
To all the young blokes including myself im 23 turning 24.
If you yourself are having a few "drinks" but its every afternoon you have a problem, if you struggle to stop and keep drinking after just a few drinks you have a problem. If having a few drinks afterwork everyday is your normal because it helps you relax you have a problem.
Im just getting out of it, 12+ drinks every night since i was 16 maybe 6 months of somewhere in-between.
It takes alot to admit it and it takes a hell of alot more to stop it.
I just hope some blokes come to the realisation oneday that what they are doing will and does affect them.
Its not a matter of if it will happen, its a matter of when it will happen.
Imagine being 24 years old and you have liver cancer failing kidneys etc from drinking, imagine one of your mates refusing to stay at yours and driving home one night after a long shift, & all of a sudden you have to explain to the police and the courts how he only had a few drinks & why it couldnt have possibly been the cause of multiple people possibly being dead.
Drinking does us no favours, we should only be drinking on very rare occasions. In memory of somone a wedding someones significant milestone aka 20-30-40th bday etc.
This song was playing when we were bringing my brother home to lay his soul to rest..❤
Great song/video Chayce! Love it! It certainly highlights the negative sides of alcohol abuse and it's so touching that you shared your personal story through this. Congratulations on your success. Come to Canada on tour.❤
Dude I've loved this song since you first performed it on American Idol.
Im 23 and 2 months sober just trying to find myself, man it's not easy I've been drunk or high since I was about 15, finally figuring out who I am is so satisfying.
First time I heard it on the radio I thought of my son. His dad had a hard life and wasn't a nice dad. My son started drinking too young to drowned out his thought & feelings. By the time he was 20 he was fighting everyone. One mother's day I got an early morning drunk call from jail. After that he started turning his life around. Now he doesn't drink at all.
Damn this is a great song!! The part where they see each other gave me instant chills when i think about myself and how far I've come from where i was.
Psalm 23
Loved this song the moment I heard it, the video is perfect!
i am an alcohol addict. This hits home.
I just turned 24 was in prison for 2 years now I’m in a sober living. There is hope people stay strong your not alone!
