Shaboozey “Highway”
Shaboozey burst onto the Country Music scene earlier this year with his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” which is STILL #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the biggest song of the year so far. Well, Shaboozey just released his next single to Country Radio, and I’m thinking he’s not gonna be just another one hit wonder. His new release “Highway” is so damn good!
Check it out below:
Here’s the lyrics:
“I see dead ends but we still going strongWe been heading down a one-way streetBut it feel like it’s wrongMoving like a freight train getting tired of chugging alongI’ve been tryna say goodbyeBut I’m gone miss you, girl, the second you gone
Gave me your heart, gave you heartbreak (I let you down)Sorry I’m lost in this dark place (I’ll fight it out)Somehow I’ll make it to SundayI promise I’ll be coming back
I might die on the highwayWith all my regretsI’ve been driving for miles and miles and milesI can’t see where it endsI’ve been trying to find waysTo tell you how I feel, yeahBut I can’t tell you goodbye‘Cause I know it’ll hurt if I let go of the wheel
Since you stop riding shotgun, I ain’t been myselfGoing out looking for a good time but I’m going through hellGot Jesus on the hotline saying, “You need help”Put the liquor on the shelf, tell the Devil, “Farewell”
You gave me your heart, gave you heartbreak (I let you down)Sorry I’m lost in this dark place (I’ll fight it out)Somehow I’ll make it to SundayI promise I’ll be coming back
I might die on the highwayWith all my regretsI’ve been driving for miles and miles and milesI can’t see where it endsI’ve been trying to find waysTo tell you how I feel, yeahBut I can’t tell you goodbye‘Cause I know it’ll hurt if I let go of the wheel
And I don’t want to go down this road by myselfNo, I don’t want to be the storyThat others tell
The guy who died on the highwayWith all his regretsHe was driving for miles and miles and milesCouldn’t see where it endsHe was tryna find waysTo tell her how he feelsBut when he looked in her eyesHe could tell she was hurt so he let go of the wheel.”
Pretty solid, am I right?
I really like his sound- he’s unique, but still staying in the “Country” lane.
I know there are some that are complaining about artsits like Shaboozey, Jelly Roll and Post Malone in Country, but those are the annoying people that basically think Country stopped at Hank Sr.
It hasn’t.
Country Music, like every other genre, has to grow and evolve to reflect the times.
I, for one, love the change and growth. There’s room for all of it.
Diversity is a good thing, people.
Kudos to Shaboozey for adding his flair to he airwaves in 2024.
