This should go down in history as one of the most precious songwriting moments in music. Gift sent from above. Amazing how the final version turned out. Still get chills to this day every time it comes on.
Heard this song on Spotify today...was halfway through when I stopped it to look it up. Amazing ability you have to create this beautiful, touching song from 9 random words!! I'm about to go look up all your songs now!
I am absolutely in love with this song. Almost had to pull over and catch my breath. Amazing songwriting and even more impressed with how it touches on the issues facing our kids today. Ball cap off to you sir! :-) Much love from Kansas!
I listen to every song he puts out... I don't know how he does it but his songs keep getting better and better. My personal opinion... He's just as good as George strait!! And I'll stand by that!! Your doin a fine job Zane
Jayton had a job for 50 cents an hour At the fillin' station by the water tower Justa checkin' oil and pumpin' gas The kinda kid most folks just look past Jill was the local preacher's kid gone wild Had a flamboyant Daddy, never loved his own child Quotin' Ephesians with an angry shout Sayin' all the reasons she would never turn out This my friends is POETRY at it's finest. Such an amazing song with an incredible story and for Mr. Zane Williams it's just a Music Monday throwaway. In a world of mediocre talent, why isn't this fellow at the top of the charts?
Um, why doesn't this have 1,000,000,000 views?? I don't know how you do it, but you have an amazing ability to take these 10 completely disconnected words, and not only make them make sense... but write an incredibly moving story. What a beautiful song. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
this song came on my Kip Moore Pandora station. Gave it a thumbs up and now all of your songs are playing. Absolutely amazing, love artists who sing with a meaning rather than for a paycheck.
jessemas27 Same here. Heard it on The Ranch and thought about it until I decided to look up the artist. Great song. I didn't know about the random word submission. Very cool.
I'm not a fan of new country aka pop country but this song is completely different. Love it. You have serious talent. This song reminds me of something Johnny Cash would sing and because of that you have gained another fan.
My goodness.... How is this possible. It is awesome. I have purchased your last two CDs over the last six months and love them both but just came across today. Your talent is something to behold. I live in Manchester england and would kill to get to listen to you live one day. Keep playing my friend. Just fantastic
I was driving through Alice, Texas when I first heard this song. Loved it so much I tried to fund it to download but it was nowhere online. This song can only be bought with the full album. Looks like this will be the first album i buy in about 10 years. Keep up the good work
I am with Sarah Spencer on this one, why not a million hits? Being a working musician for 30 years I see the gift. I still got to come up with a way to get you back for making me cry for a hour and a half after hearing " While I Was Away" LOL!!!! Working a 40 hour week and playing 5 nights a week was hard on my wife and kids.
This is one of the best written songs I've EVER heard ANYWHERE. Beautiful and touching. Zane, you are a genius with a true gift.Thank you for sharing it with us.
Pretty amazing to see how the song came together. I had no idea it was created from 10 (okay, 9) completely random words for a UA-cam video. Song was so damn good that I was positive it had to be based on a true story from somewhere. Well done.
Heard this on a radio station between San Marcos and Austin and tried like heck to find in when I got home. I had no luck because I thought it was titled ' When Jake met Jill.' Luckily I tried again today and because of a typo I made I found it. Had NO idea this was a song made from 9 random words! This is the best song I've heard in a long, long time! You are not just a talented song writer, you're an excellent singer and musician. Why arent you in Nashville???
As someone who grew up and lives off 121/360. Absolutely love this song.
I liked this song the first time I heard it but to hear how he wrote it with random word from fans is amazing. True talent there
Best song I've heard in years!!!!!!!

Oh wow. I knew Jayton and Jill and have loved it since the first time I heard it, but I never knew until now it was a random word song. Incredible.
I am absolutely in love with this song. Almost had to pull over and catch my breath. Amazing songwriting and even more impressed with how it touches on the issues facing our kids today. Ball cap off to you sir! :-) Much love from Kansas!
Recorded song uses a few different words, but Zane's abilities to write music are unquestionable. Proud to call you Texas Country, Zane.
I listen to every song he puts out... I don't know how he does it but his songs keep getting better and better. My personal opinion... He's just as good as George strait!! And I'll stand by that!! Your doin a fine job Zane
Wow. I'm speechless.
