Lyrics:
I'm not the devil you think that I am
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
I slipped and I fell, it got out of hand
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
It wasn't no gun they held to my head
I got caught up believing in lies that were said
And in a moment of weakness
I stumbled, and I made my bed
I'm not the devil you think that I am
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
I slipped and I fell, it got out of hand
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
There's 10, 000 reasons for you not to stay
And no one would blame you
If you want it that way
It might take some time
But I'll show you that I'm worth the wait
I'm not the devil you think that I am
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
I slipped and I fell, it got out of hand
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
And I'll spend forever, do all that I can
To prove I'm not the devil you think that I am
And I'm not the devil

#countrymusic #outlawcountry #codyjinks
A true modern day outlaw, breaking away from Nashville's corrupted system and building a legacy for himself with songs that will give you chills.
Couldn’t have said it better!!
I went to high school with Cody, his sister owns a salon down the road from my house and we are all so proud of him! I actually enjoy his music not because hes from here but because hes a real artist and genuine!
Blues singer Tony Joe White is from the next town over from where I live. Rest in peace, Tony Joe White. I love his music because it's also very genuine.
Thanks for sharing , bout real folks...we're all blessed to have real Cody's all over this country 🙏
Yeah I'm sure that you did. Donald Trump is my dad
Funny Ivanka Trump calls me daddy
Wasn't a fan of country fan till cody
As a vet dealing with PTSD and addiction I'm sitting here in rehab kicking ass and this song just hits home tks Cody Jinks for all you do brother
Donald Richard stay strong brother WE DO RECOVER #recoverystrong
God bless you for your service and your suffering. I also suffer from the same and more. Sometimes it's one day at a time, some times it's one second at a time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You will get there but it's a lot of hard work and worth it.
Thought I was the only one, this PTSD sucks brother
The fact that this is live just blows me away, It sounds so damn good. No auto tune, no fillers, just good ole honest talent.
Georgia Boy 1976 Sadly many people have accepted auto tune as normal and have ignored real musical talent
This is in fact best version of this song!!!!! Change my mind I will wait
If I make it to wear he is in music, I ain't never using auto tune. If I'm a bad singer, God never wanted me to sing, or he's making me work for it.
@@paulbenoit6076 It's just a crutch for the lazy and untalented
Mr. Jinks you've turned a light on and started casting a long shadow. I feel I met a friend when I discovered you in the wee hours of the night. Puffin and pickin was going on...then you came on next in my auto play. Showed my brothers your music and man... you could've heard a pin drop when the drone of the dreadnought called for order. Thanks for the inspiration to get my ass back in gear to write and perform... this....real music.
Keep it up!

Long Shot
Kevin Goodwin jddndjd
Played this for pops a couple days before he passed, you see i wasnt the perfect son .trust me I've worked on myself since the day he left ,I hope he looks down and finally is proud of me
He was proud of you every day and dont ever forget that it's a father thing
Too the many people going through a real sour time, I myself am struggling!
May we share our strength with one another and pull each other out our dark place!
You are worth it, and loveable beings!
after years of hard drinking...one night the whiskey took me too far... I lost my wife...she had enough.. Been 39 days sober and hoping to have the chance to prove to her that Im not the devil...ya cant see whats important thru the bottom of a whiskey bottle.... I pray everyday for my own strength and a chance
Good luck man! All we can do is try and grow and get better!
I know what you mean. The important things look so much smaller when looking through the glass. Whiskey just distorts the truth.
I myself now the damage drinking can do I also drank a marriage away hard to believe this may Will be 10 years without a drop
hey man thanks really this comment inspired me to stop drinking and I'm almost a month sober, used to drink every day
Keep on, brother!
This tells my story after doing 20 years in prison , currently in recovery and I use this song to motivate me every day , love you all
I'm a corrections officer and I love this song. I wish the best for you brother.
Cody, You are amazing. I have been listening to you almost non stop since i discovered your music. Already have my tickets bought for your concert at the Agora in Cleveland. So pumped to see you live. Truly talented and what country music is supposed to sound like.
Jesus Cody!!! You just explained "me" to myself. Only a true Country legend could do that. Great song, great writing.
This song reminds me of my Old Man and my Mother. My dad wasnt a saint but he did the best for us boys and my Mom. I just wished my mom saw the good in him and not the bad. (no abuse, just up and down marraige)
Every artist or entertainer has a gift; but Cody Jinks is true story music. Stories about life. Stories about the Gospel. And stories that bring the two together. This is music at it's purest. No label needed, just call it what it is; Music.
I just recently found out about Cody Jinks, and Jesus Christ this man is an artist. This is my jam now. I can't wait to show my friends this song and play it with them.
I'd love to go to the show in Odessa, but probation won't let that happen for me. I hope y'all kill it!
This is Whiskey Myers not Cody Jinks
@@Solitaire427 no it isnt
Solitaire427 your and idiot
You're
This is how one person can speak to everyone and connect with them in the most powerful way possible. Simply amazing. This is real singing.
God I love this so much..... So honest and raw... A song about Sin and Hope for Redemption. It's so great to know that such music is being made, today.
There's not too much country I dig, but your voice and Chris Stapleton voice are some of the most soothing and mesmerizing voices I've heard in a long time. Keep cranking out the tunes brother
R3D1G check out sturgill simpson
Don't forget Jamey Johnson
I lost a bit of respect for Chris Stapleton when he did a song with Justin Timberlake
Aaron Lewis is right up there with these guys.
Whether you like Justin Timberlake or not (I don't care much for his music) you cannot deny that he is a talented artist, and I don't see how you can lose respect for someone just because of who they performed with. It seems more that you are allowing your personal feelings about Mr. Timberlake to shadow the amazing talent Mr. Stapleton possesses, regardless of whom he performs with. Anyway, The White Buffalo is definitely worth checking out. Some of his music has country twangs to it, as well as Americana and folk, and his voice is just incredibly raw and beautiful.
I’m Hood mother frrr from Los Angeles that loves this music great music and real lyrics thank for the music
I drive truck for a living, lost my wife just 2 years into it because she thought I started driving to leave her. In fact it was the opposite. I wanted a better life for her and her children. I’m not the devil you think I am Melinda.
Feel you buddy. I drove the love of my life away after 4 years of being well, a fucking devil. Now she’s with another man, I’ve been with other women, but I think it’s working out.
Plenty more women out there lol
10 years driving... Three years holding on to something I won't admit is probably already gone. But I'm not the devil she thinks that I am.
I'm a Rock n roll chick but holy hell this guy is legit! This is the country I listened too years ago!
Lindsay Ledbetter same here but he's so good
Lyrical genius. Vocals are so raw that they send chills down my spine. I haven't enjoyed a song this much since I first heard you sing Cast No Stones. Your talent is amazing and it inspires me. Thank you for continuing to create beautiful, realatable music in a world thats stuck on auto tune. ❤
I haven’t heard this yet, but the message is true from the intro I love it already. Good job.
your by far my favorite new artist. Cant stop listening to your music since i came across this song. Wish you nothing but the best of luck Cody. God gave you this talent for a reason. Keep going!
Took my son and wife to ranch bash last weekend to watch you guys play. We were there most of the day. The only time my son, who is almost four asked to get up close to the stage was to watch you guys. Thanks for a great memory.
Kids are the best. Thanks for bringing him to the show!
Cody Jinks awesome song
Ryan Keoughan,that's Awesome!
Raise em right!!!!!
Kids are as honest as most of wish we could be... GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC ALSO!!!!!!!!
Real country music from the soul!!! Glad I found u. I am 31 and can't stand the crap coming out of Nashville. Don't like pop county and sure don't like rap crap! Thanks for keeping it real.
Chris Wilson in the words of Hank lll "pop country really sucks"
nothing wrong with rap bud. u just gotta listen to proper stuff and not pop rap like Kanye west and all that shit.
Chris Wilson fuck them
Country music is Pop music and it always has been.
I fuckin hate rapp wtf is that stupid motherfuckin shit
makes me think of my Daddy. He went on before he got his moment he was sober for one whole year before he left me. A genius of a man with a heart that saw no wrong that couldn't be righted in anyone. I was seven and this song brought back memories for me that I thought were gone forever. Thank you.
Over and over again. Thousands of times I have heard this song, chills. When I seen Cody perform it at the Cabooze in MN the bar faded into the background the audience was hushed and the only lights were on Cody....the rest of the work disappeared and all I could see was the words of this song. All I could hear was his voice. I cried and didn't even realize it until after the song and the group asked me if I was ok. I swear it was a spiritual moment for me. Thank you Mr. Cody for writing such a beautiful soul awakening piece of music.
Love his voice & songs.... I listen for hours! I pray he's around for a long time!!!
You are A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN 😇 😇
Marissa Norris your beautiful
Godspeed
Juuf
Marissa Norris this is the best country
One hell of an artist Cody jinks
Thanks
Cody Jinks is real country music, thank you for something of real substance and more than this crap stadium/pop/fake music that makes my ears bleed
Cody Jinks Thank you for doing what you do best!!
I wish she could see that, this song brings me to tears right now.
Cody jinks I love all your music but this one right here man brings tears to my eyes every time!! Love it!!
this song hit the nail on the head at a bad point in my life. Thanks
Frank Keller. same here!
Frank Keller me too
Frank Keller , I am at a point in my life at 37 almost 38 from the hills of East Tennessee,to playing pro arena football,to Finishing concrete for a living....... to (BY theGRACE OF GOD ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST MY PERSONAL KING, LORD AND SAVIOR) to make ends meet. I am still battling every day with drug addiction.
Frank Keller
Shannon Sizemore our Lord Jesus Christ is the only one that can keep us ! Hang in there and cast your cares to him ! GOD BLESS !!!
The voice of country angels from our past!
I would have to say the greats like hank sr, Waylon, Johnny, and the ol hagg, are watching down with a smile! keep it up Cody country music needs you. we need you!
So true.
Keith Whitley is back.
That Waylon hat tho
Mr Jinks, thank you Sir. I discovered this song at what is undoubtedly the lowest point in my 35 years. Im fighting like hell, harder than I fought in Iraq or Afghanistan, to show the woman I love and want to marry that Im not the devil she thinks that I am. Im also having to show myself the same thing. It ain't easy, and its my own damn fault. This song is helping me to keep fighting and push through the pain, the shit, and the fire. I salute you, I thank you, and I respect and admire you and your music, not the least because its real and authentic and obviously born from your own struggles. You are an inspiration.
I wish that country music could get back to this. Raw, real and full of emotion, it tells a story and makes you sit back and just enjoy life a little more. Seen him in Indy and it was hands down the best show I've seen. real music!
Totally amazing song. Incredible singing and awesome guitar playing. Today's Keith Whitley.
this is about to set the radio stations on Fire! best new Country put out in ages!
Lets hope
Cody Jinks keep singing and I'll keep sharing! you sir are one hell of a artist!
James Woody
James Woody as long as once he's on the radio he doesn't change his style. I'm all for it!
Why won't the radio play you? Is there something Eric Church could do to help you out? He sure seems to love pissing off the big wigs.
wow,U r only few true , musician's,that can really touch people and sing from the heart,and soul
Cody, thank you for struggling to get your songs out there to us, I hope your life is being blessed now like the ears of your fans are listening to your songs💞
absolutely wish to God country radio played country music like this. God Bless folks like you, Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson and a select few others who refuse to bow down the "bro country" crap that dominates now. Guarantee George, Johnny, Merle, and Vern who have left us are looking down with smiles saying thank you for carrying on what they did while they were here
Barbara Clavier absolutely agree
Finally, real country. The stuff I grew up on. Thank you for not being a country pop singer with actual talent Mr. Cody Jinks. God bless you sir. Keep making music
For the past week my husband has been listening to this song after work. He is not fluent in english but he loves this song. We are now fans of your music.
Cody Jinks; Proves that sometimes just the plain ol'basics of "The Music" speaks volumes.
Sounds somewhere between Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. High praise indeed ! Great sound and real country music !
David Talhouk if I'm just listening & not watching, sounds like Randy Travis
Fucking brilliant
He looks a lot like Waylon. Almost a spitting image.
Damn finally some old boys bringing country back ! That damn beard tho 👍🏻👍🏻
I can relate to this so much on so many levels, thankyou for the emotion thats felt in your music Mr Jinks, Ft Worth is proud to have you
thank the lord I met this great artist. this is someone who speaks volumes and help a man in a dark hour.
I can feel this song through my core....
Same here to the core
Chris Jinks. haven't listened to a new country song in some time now. you came up on my Spotify suggested songs right Ernest Tubb and Waylon. you fit right in and I appreciate what you are doing for music. I'm no musician, just a working stiff but, my old country and bluegrass helps me center myself and reconnect with my own self and the good Lord in the car ride home every day. thank you for some new tunes that actually speak something real. songs like yours have been missing from this country for too long now.
^between Ernest and Waylon
This is the best country singer out there today. Music from the soul. Tear jerking heart felt music. I’m blown away. Today’s Keith whitely. Totally amazing.
I listen to this song everyday. You are amazing. You are real country music.
Hot damn this man's got some smooth pipes on him!
Your the best Cody. Love all your songs 😄
Thanks
Cody Jinks awesome
Acoustic is whole nother level! So raw, and pure. Cody Jenks is a genius
Cody this is a beautiful song. I play this live now and its just the most heart felt song I have ever played. From one musician to another you are a true inspiration, Peace brother from the UK!!
Love your music!! Finally some old school country music! Bless your heart, it has been forever!
R
What a great song! Reminds me of my husband! 20 years & going strong! You have a wonderful voice!
Yes sir! Thank God devil has my soul but not my hands amen
absolutely the best new reel Country Singer... Cody Jinks I'm a Fan for Life.
Sendin love and support from 817. So proud to say you're from Texas, Cody. Your music captures the true essence of the struggles the average man must face. It's so nice to hear real country music again.
You & Chris Stapleton are about my only hope for country music nowadays!
What about sturgill Simpson
i just reunited with my kids tonight 2 of 4. and all I can think of is this song due to how I left things 10 years ago. I am and will do everything I can to be apart of their lives if they will have me. Thanks Cody Jinks this song will help me get through it. word for word this song is how I feel
Brought tears to my eyes. I needed this song and well most his songs. Gives me life.
everyone has that one song that just sums it all up says everything without saying it and for as long as I've been trying to write it myself you seem to have beat me to the punch thank you sir
Best song on the planet. Favorite artist ever. Keeping it real... story of my life brother.
I'm not even a country music fan until I heard Cody Jinks now I'm hooked great lyrics
Cody jinks. Songs hit the soul. This song hit my soul. Brings me back
Cody Canada, Bo Phillips, and now Cody Jinks, the future of meaningful music is in good hands, I just really sat and listened to your stuff today, all i can say is keep it up man, it's awesome !!
Absolutely in LOVE with your voice! And your music!
You are A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
absolutely amazing live sets you've posted Cody . . you are one hell of an artist/musician! keep doing you and write what you know to be right. I know Im a nobody, but Im positive if you went and changed yourself and music to sell records, you'd probably cause a civil war. jahahaha again, I truly wish I would have heard of you while in Iraq. regardless though, you truly are a damn good artist.
no matter how many times i've watch (listen) this video, it only gets better. excellent.
I sing this song and Cast No Stones every day at work and I always get asked who you singing and I say CODY JINKS look him up listen, learn n love it!
you tied for my favorite country artist with a Sturgill Simpson...I could listen to your music all day long or just read your lyrics...you speak to the heart my friend. Thank you for being so willing to share your talents Cody. Keep on keepin on my friend!!
Rick Allen I love some sturgill and Cody tours with Whitey Morgan and the 78's but they usually play small venues and bars
Chad Brooks I wish they played in Michigan...anywhere
Rick Allen amen
Rick Allen j!diiiei
Sturgill is fuckin amazing
These 3 have such good harmony
CODY JINKS IS THE BREAK WE COUNTRY PEOPLE NEEDED! KEEP IT COUNTRY CODY! ALL THE STARS ABOVE ARE PROUD OF YOU!
Cody i love your music i hope you come play in NH someday i would love to hear you live..
I've been listening to Cody's music for about three or four years now I reckon I'm just and Old Kentucky boy I love this music it's real country I just can't sell out to the stuff they play on the radio these days I am a truck driver and I'm all over Texas the majority of the time I'm based out of Utah is there anyone that could direct me to where I could see Cody Jinks perform
Made me cry because it really hits home because of the way I get talked about
where is cody's radio air time???...should be played everyday...so truthful and honest...give him his "AIR TIME "
Mr. Jinks, you have restored my faith in Country music artists of this modern generation. Everything now rock/rap mixed and is nowhere close to the Country music I was raised on. You are on par with the likes of Jackson, Straight, Jones, Jr, etc. Thank you sir, you definitely have a new fan and follower.
Love this song!
You're pretty incredible yourself sir.
You are amazingly talented, my good man! My boyfriend and I found you one day by chance, and we haven't stopped listening since! Gems like you and The White Buffalo make UA-cam worth browsing!
🇮🇪
I agree my bearded brother
Can we get a cover Marty ray please man
I'm not the devil you think that I am it.
It ain't no excuse but I'm just a man .
I slipped and I fell it got out of hand but I'm not the devil you think that I am.
Whatin no gun held to my head, I got caught up believing in lies that were said.
And in a moment of weakness I stumbled and I made my bed.
But I'm not the devil you think that I am.
ain't no excuse but I'm just a man.
I slipped and I fell it got out of hand but I'm not the devil you think that I am.
There's ten thousand reasons for you not to stay and Noone would blame you if you want it that way.
It might take some time but I'll show you that I'm worth the wait.
But I'm not the devil you think that I am.
It ain't no excuse but I'm just a man I slipped and I fell it got out of hand.
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
And I'll spend forever doing all that I can to prove I'm not the devil you think that I am I'm not the devil.
This is a wonderful song and a great country song . Great voice all you guys. Love it . Best song ever that I heard from a country song. I play all your songs . You guys are awesome .
Thank God! Real country! I'm 53 and you are my new favorite!
Everyone needs forgiven...everyday....God bless
I love this song.. will be listening to more of your songs.. 🎙🎤❤️
Cody Jinks Best Country Music singer/songwriter since Merle Haggard !
I didn't think I would ever use after 3 yrs of being clean until my best friend of 25 yrs died on my way to his house sent me downward end over end & now it's the only thing that makes me not think bout it constantly
Hit the nail right on the head with this one Cody !
U.S. SAM yes
U.S. SAM
This guy is great. Thank god for him, Sturgill Simpson, Jason isbell, tyler childers, and Chris Stapleton. Without them real
country music would be gone for sure
Wow!! That's all I can say. 43 tomorrow, had good times and bad times. I love my wife, even though she feels I am the Devil sometimes. I try, i try hard, and love her more than life itself. Cody, sir I got chills. This song hits so close to home, brother.
Thank you Mr. Jinks, you are the soundtrack to my 30's and one of the main reasons i am still standing here today....your words have helped me through the darkest of times but also helped to lift some of my brightest moments..just sitting here waiting for times to get better....in the mean time turn on some Cody Jinks and Ward Davis
really country music. hell yea.thanks Cody.
Probably listened to this one 10 times this weekend. Glad I stumbled onto this. Love all the songs I've heard. Def. getting these albums.
RobFeaster cody jinks is the man
He is so underrated! Amazing voice like Chris Stapleton and same style. Wish he would blow up more
Thank you for this song...your voice is true. Heard "Alone" before this one, must admit feel this way at times from both of these songs. Seems it's more difficult from people to be understood than heard. You have a way of doing both....hopefully I get the privilege to listen to you at a jam session/concert/passing through...
That's what I'm talkin bout, brother. Bring good country back.
I've been saying this for so long ...thank you for this it's awsome
this song is amazing man it is cody jinks I give you all my support that I can give you man
Hey Cody Hi from Ireland . I just found you by chance when looking for something to listen too . To get my head around life. This song just sums it all up . Thanks your my new Artist 👍👍👍
