    LYRICS:
    I got turned around in some little town
    I’d never been to before
    Working my way through a middle of June
    Midnight thunderstorm
    There was something in the headlights
    That stopped me on a dime
    Well she was scared to death
    So I said climb in and in she climbed
    Oh Yeah
    Well she was bruised and broke from head to toe
    With a tear in her blood stained shirt
    She didn’t tell the whole truth
    But she didn’t have to I knew what had happened to her
    I didn’t load her down with questions
    That girl had been through enough
    I just threw it in drive
    Looked in those eyes
    And asked her where he was
    I don’t know if he’s angel
    Cause angels don’t do what he did
    He was hell bent to find the man behind
    All the whiskey scars I hid
    I never thought my day of justice
    Would come from a judge under his seat
    But I knew right then I’d never get hit again when he said to me
    Wait in the truck
    Just wait in the truck
    Well I knocked and knocked and no one came
    So I kicked in his double wide door
    I let the hammer drop before he got to that twelve he was reaching for
    I didn’t try to hide my pistol
    I didn’t even try to run
    I just sat on the porch smoking one of his cigarettes
    And waited for the cops to come
    I don’t know if he’s angel
    Cause angels don’t do what he did
    He was hell bent to find the man behind
    All the whiskey scars I hid
    I never thought my day of justice
    Would come from a judge under his seat
    But I knew right then I’d never get hit again when he said to me
    Wait in the truck
    Just wait in the truck
    Whoa
    Have mercy on me Lord
    Have mercy on me
    Have mercy on me Lord
    It’s been sixty months
    And she still comes to to see me from time to time
    It was worth the price to see a brighter side of the girl I picked up that night
    And I might be here forever
    It ain’t paradise that’s true
    But it’s a whole hell of a lot better
    Than the place I sent him to
    Wait in the truck
    Just wait in the truck
    Wait in the truck
    Just wait in the truck
    Have mercy on me lord
    Have mercy on me
    Have mercy on me
    Have mercy on me
    Wait in the truck
    Just wait in the truck
    Wait in the truck
    Just wait in the truck

      Idk why but when I heard this song for the very 1st time. I literally lost it. I cried 😢 so much. I was in my truck headed down the mountain here in the Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. Where i live & I turned the radio up really loud & I hit replay & I rolled the windows down so I could feel the wind in my hair blowing & the wind on my face and I sang along with the chorus and I'm not sure what was happening with my emotions but it was like a release of some sort. I didn't know the words but after only hearing this song once I had caught onto all the words in the chorus. I sang and probably had my trucks gas pedal pressed to the floor. Idk what or why but this song it just does something to me I just can't explain it. I am a DV survivor. My ex husband he was a hitter that would hit me so hard for absolutely no reason at all. He broke my arm once and wouldn't take me to the ER becuz he knew the ER would report him to the police because how would I explain the black eyes and the finger print bruises on my broke arm where he had dragged me from the kitchen to our bedroom with our Lil girls watching. It took me 8 days to talk him into letting me go to the ER. Only way I could go was if I let him throw a baseball at my arm so I could say I was accidentally hit by a baseball when my kids were playing outside. That's a memory I will never forget. I finally got out and took the girls with me. I've been free from him and his violent tendencies for 16 years now. Thank God 😊 #LordGiveMeStrength

      I would guess that Lainey is a bit of a song writing machine herself. During the first three years she was in Nashville, she is supposed to have written some 4000 songs not including the ones she brought with her. Then during the pandemic, she wrote another 300 - 400, many of which she says will never see the light of day. Still I am under the understanding that she has either written or co-written everything she currently has out. Also, she was in Nashville for more than 10 years before she had her first number 1 single so how many more does she have in her catalog?

I love watching you come alive and show the world a side none of us knew you had i.e. Sold Out and Truck Bed. Your ACM performance had me jumping and screaming lol. You blended the 2 genre's perfectly. I hope to see you live one day. Finances and time need to get in sync lol. @ Lainey, I am a tough cookie to crack when it comes to female country artists. I just don't care much for most of them. Most sound nasely and whiney, or singing about frivolous things and I'm not trying to be mean in saying that. It's just that I'm classically trained and my ears, head, and body pick every song I hear apart i.e. key/time signatures, major/minor, diminished/augmented chords, syncopation/hemiola, etc...but you young lady, you're a powerhouse and you have such a beautiful heart and personality to go along with it. You two nailed it with this song. Much respect and love from Missouri to the both of you. God Bless ❤

      It's scary if you're doing what you should do. The Lord knows there's many females that are out there cheating the Lord knows as many out there drinking and brutalizing women. Point is God knows about every evil dirty deed and each and every sinner that does not repent is going to have to make amends on judgment Day meaning they're going to find the wrath of God is real they're going to find themselves in a place where they can't ever escape. A place of outer darkness and flames there's no time for wicked games call out to Jesus Christ name to be saved and live a righteous life before you find yourself not being in the Kingdom of light.
      Jesus Christ is returning soon many have heard that but yes he's coming soon. Lights out for The wicked forever.
      It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.
      Sure this man went after inventions who hurt the girl in the song.
      Jesus Christ said do not fear them who can only kill your body fear Him who can destroy both body and soul and hell.
      Jesus Christ help you by the Holy Ghost to repent and to Bear fruits worthy of repentance..

      @@MyToesintheSand No your story is wrong. He wrote the song with a few other people and they sold the song to Blake. There was no deadline for recording. It doesn't work that way. Hardy can't take back a song after selling the rights to it. Blake and his studio band cut the track fast just because they wanted to get the song out cause they liked it. Hardy never gave the ultimatum of "you have a week to record it or I will". Hardy tells the story himself sometimes before performing the song live.

      @HARDY To be honest, I just discovered your music a few weeks ago. I heard Unapologetically Country being used on a TikTok and then started listening immediately! One of my favorites is The Mockingbird and The Crow! You’re definitely a talented young man and I’m excited to keep exploring your music! Keep em’ coming my friend!!

    I can't tell you how real this song is. First time hearing it, but even at my advanced age it brought tears to my eyes. This takes me back to what I call the good days. Songs that come from everyday life and people. Haggard or Jones or Tweety would be proud of this one for sure!!❤

    It's funny listening to all these people who can't stand Florida-Georgia line because they're not "real country" don't realize that HARDY wrote several of their hits. They are actually good friends with each other.
