This song is another uplifting track, It really is amazingly deep. I really connect with this song, for instance the first lyrics are "I Got These Letters Tattooed On My Arm That Remind Me Each Second Of Where I Come From And The Long Hard Road To Guide Me Back Home" I also have letters tattooed on my arm that lead me home as well so I really liked feeling connected to the song.

This is A very well written track, The lyrics are amazingly good. The instrumental is quite perfectly fitting with the lyrics. The vocals are beautifully executed. In my opinion this song should have been the lead single to the album due to how well it sums up how the album sounds.

There is not much to say except in my opinion the acoustic version of any song is always better, This is no exception. It takes all theincredible features of the original version and makes it A little bit more incredible.

My overall thoughts are that I really like the whole Country / Folk / Pop / Rock thing they have going on. It is A really amazing album and I truly see it topping charts when it drops. I strongly reccomend you pick up A copy when it drops.

Overall Rating: 8.5 / 10
