LYRICS:
I grew up in a little town named after another
Catching bass and cutting grass is how I spent my summers
I know it sounds cliche, but it’s how I was raised
And I got my first guitar from a pawn Shop off of poplar
Picked up Sweet Home Alabama, and Smoke On The Water
And that’s what got me out
It’s crazy thinking now
I’m a mockingbird
Singing songs that sound like other songs you’ve heard
Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt, and how Mississippi’s home
I’ve always been a mockingbird but
Now I’m a mockingbird with a microphone
I found myself a contract down on Sixteenth Avenue
Writing songs for anyone about anything I knew
And I’ve come a long long way
But one thing hasn’t changed
I’m a mockingbird
Singing songs that sound like other songs you’ve heard
Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt, and how Mississippi’s home
I’ve always been a mockingbird but
Now I’m a mockingbird with a microphone
A mockingbird with a microphone, with a microphone, with a microphone, with a microphone
Do this, do that
That shirt, this hat
Don’t forget to smile
Kiss the ring once in a while
Don’t say, those words
Put down your finger
Throw in a slow love song or two
Well fuck that, and fuck you ‘cause
The way I sing may not be pretty
May not be Music to your ears
But when these wings roll through your city
My last name is all you hear
And I refuse to be another
Mockingbird with a microphone
I’ll fly the line I choose to brother
Even if that makes me the crow
The crow, the crow
Even if that makes me the crow
The crow, the crow, the crow
Well do that, do this
Unclench your fist
You’re too loud, you’re too proud it won’t work
Well tell that to twenty five thousand rednecks with my dumb face on their T-shirt
The way I sing may not be pretty
May not be Music to your ears
But when these wings roll through your city
My last name is all you hear
And I refuse to be another
Mockingbird with a microphone
I’ll fly the line I choose to brother
Even if that makes me the crow
The crow, the crow
Even if that makes me the crow
The crow, the crow, The crow
I’m a mockingbird
Singing songs that sound like other songs you’ve heard
Like friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt, and how Mississippi’s home
I’ve always been a mockingbird but
Now I’m a mockingbird and I’m the crow

His voice sounds like kid rock in some parts
bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't care what you people say I feel like this should be the theme song to Superbowl 57
Love this shit man.
Awesomely amazing I just met you but I love you ! Thank you to my wifey for introducing you to me 💚💜 another reason why I love her so!
Love love
I have no idea why this was recommended to me. I definitely don't like country music but this is okay. It's kind of funny that it sounds like a hard rock song from like 2000-something. I feel like country is always a few decades behind other genres of music lol
This is terrible
Very catchy. From 2 mins I get real nostalgic Puddle Of Mudd vibes. Memories of riding my bike through the forest with my pals. Love this.
Dudes about to change everything
What a bad ass video 😂 wow so creative
I'm a hummingbird .. So ___
Mockingbirds are cool. Talented able to mock every 🐦
⛽️
HARDY did we just see your animated junk?? I loved this song from the minute it came out.
Reminds me of a TOOL music video.
This all deserves much love,shizzx goes hard
This a shoutout to everyone who felt they were trying to be shoved into something growing up. Maybe you grew up in a family that forced religion or a certain political ideology down your throat.
The Crows will beat to our own path.
That song sucks.😝
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hardy puts out real life songs . Bring back how country used to be .
Cool video 😃great song
Excellent song writing! Excellent song! Sends a good message if ya ask me. Be yourself, do it your way weither people like it or not. I feel the same way with my artwork!
That was fucking awesome
Love how much u sing about Mississippi I'm from lil rock like 15 20 minutes from philly
Hey Hardy, amazing video and obviously your lyrics made me stop my day and replay this song five times. Truth be told, I had never heard of you until today when I read about you on the Barstool Sports site. You are obviously a huge star, but I am an old guy, and honestly can barely fit into this new polarized world, so I cling to yesterday – old songs, old artists, and old memories. I just finished listening to your album and watching your videos, I felt a sense of comfort as if Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Henry Rollins, Tom Morello, Roger Waters and Woody Guthrie had their souls transplanted into one young man who will carry Country & Rock and Roll into the future.
In a time when the culture wars have made music into just another battle ground, I am heartened to see an artist that writes his own lyrics, music and actually plays the guitar well — without the ego or bravado that typifies this age. I love that you stay true to your roots while generously sharing your space and limelight to lift up other artists – makes you the prototypical “good old boy”, that I have always surrounded myself with to this day.
This is very embarrassing, and I know that I am sounding like a 13-year-old fanboy. But, at a time, when the majority of country artists & CMA are MAGA, all hip & GRAMMY artists are WOKE – not to mention that most artists don’t even write their own music, play their own instruments, or even sing their own songs without technical engineering – YOU are a godsend!
You are a gifted wordsmith and I would encourage you to write a book filled with your lyrics, poetry and stories. It would be an instant bestseller.
I have sent links to your YouTube channel to everyone of my "Boomer" friends over four continents. And, I already received a ton of responses calling you “amazing” – 4 from Canada, 6 from America, 4 from Europe and 5 from Africa.
Keep up the great work! And please continue to rebuild an environment of artists that actually create art while retaining their true characters uncorrupted by wealth or celebrity.
Thank you!
Like every one of your millions of fans, I would love to buy you Jack and beer all night long!
Cheers,
Mohamed
Your kick ass hardy Fuck big producers and what they want. I would rather listen to you than every new country singer who sounds the exact same way
