Wait in the Truck - Hardy & Lainey Wilson - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Hardy has earned his keep both as a country soloist with a stash of talked-about releases and as a hotshot, behind-the-scenes songwriter who has worked on hit tracks like "Up Down" for Morgan Wallen featuring Florida Georgia Line and Blake Shelton's "God's Country," for which he was nominated in the Song of the Year category at the 2020 Academy of Country Music Awards. On "Wait in the Truck," which is featured on his 2023 album the mockingbird & THE CROW, he teamed up with Louisiana singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson to create an unflinching portrayal of domestic abuse. "Well, she was bruised and broke from head to toe / With a tear in her blood-stained shirt / She didn't tell the whole truth, but she didn't have to / I knew what had happenеd to her," he sings in the second verse of this bold conversation starter. Here, uplifting gospel singing bolsters the song's redemptive arc, where ultimately justice is served.
