Award-winning singer/songwriter and counrtry music recording artist, Jimmy Charles, releases his new single “Hard Way To Go.”
Written from the perspective of a person struggling with alcohol addition, the emotionally reflective and revealing ballad spotlights the ongoing internal battle between the bible and the devil, paying the price of family sacrifice and the journey down the winding road to recovery. With simplistic lyrics livened by Charles’ passionate and gritty vocals, softened by solemn acoustic guitar and eloquent cello, the redemptive tune is seemingly true-to-life. Akin to the sentiment of “Walk A Little Straighter” (Billy Currington), Charles channels raw emotions stirred by his childhood to add a personal fervor to the recording.
Momma taught me bout the bible
Daddy taught me bout the bottle
and I learned a thing or two alone
Lies made me struggle
Truth made me humble
and fighting feels like grinding on a stone
Unless you live like Jesus lived
Some sins are hard to forgive
