Cody Jinks - Head Case Lyrics






I know it's hard to find the words so often standin' face-to-face
Sometimes it takes a thin white sheet to put things into place
Things that I could never say come floodin' out somehow upon these lines

I'm still fightin' the same battles I've been fightin' all these years
A dreamer's not a dreamer unless you're livin' with a fear
What they say will be forgotten, all that's done will be for naught and why?

And it's been a long time, Lord, since I sat down and had a cry
It's sometimes overwhelmin' and I can't tell you why
But I remember Jackson singin' "Doctor, doctor, please, my eyes"

My heroes, they're all dyin' or they're sittin' in a cell
Due to years of medicatin', minds that hurt so well
There's a thin line, don't you see, between genius and insanity, which am I?

One thing that scares the hell in me is livin' with mortality
And worryin' that I'm insane talkin' to a God unseen
Must surely make me crazy, so crazy's what I'll be 'til I'm gone
'Til I'm gone

And I'll scream out to the sun and to the moon and to the stars
I'll scream until my voice finds you, no matter where you are
I'll scream until I've got no breath and all that's left to take is death and I'm done
And I'm done

    Feel knife in left side throat

  33. A.... N....

    Someone forehead got hit rt side long skinny uncertain want to say close to golf club or fire poker

  34. A.... N....

    Feel gunshot in heart...
    Mean worldly visions

  35. A.... N....

    It just flipped on ...
    Like a camper trailer?
    Now smell dirt

  36. A.... N....

    See something go whizzing by...
    Also see yellow side light ?

  37. A.... N....

    Was a shock , out of nowhere , small bullet ?

  38. A.... N....

    I feel someone getting shot upper left forehead

  39. A.... N....

    I feel fire all over

  40. A.... N....

    I smelled wood and burning paper earlier when I first watched this

    A.... N....

    Like the papers were dropped on the fire wood that was burning

    A.... N....

    Amanda Nichols you’re a crazy bitch huh

  41. A.... N....

    I smelled wood and burning paper earlier when I first watched this

  42. A.... N....

    I taste an abundance of salt in my tummy....
    Enough to make ya sick...
    Feel like I got hit in rt upper forehead...

  43. A.... N....

    Incinerated :-/ left face injury idk who

  44. A.... N....

    Their distorting ?

  45. A.... N....

    Idk how their doing it or getting away with it...
    They have balls to call me manipulative...
    Dig up the paths of each and every single one see what all you see

  46. A.... N....

    I felt rodd Boggs even last night n tippey...
    Boggs is the wig wearing bike riding cop that's a sack of crap who grabbed me , a non convict by her hair and slammed my head off the floor then segrated me to tiny bathroom alone over resin and shake broke my ex mother in law's door etc and then dj n Joey went to jail n karrie was snitching n I had to drop her off n he looked at me and flat out degraded me etc and said he would not do anything with me there or with me period...
    She had to walk down block because Dj was mad n told him that I said to Joey that was Dj was snitching on him.
    Basically they all hate me...
    My husband was screwing karrie though and Joey hated me n called me Amanda gann...
    Rodd threatened to put me in prison a long time...
    Oh the list goes on....

  47. A.... N....

    Ariat ah ni

  48. A.... N....

    Why is he allowed to continually ask a single woman who is faithful and loyal if their in love with someone else and get angry and screw around with people at work like Ginny and gina or the little Jessica girl from the housing or get mad at a celibate person whose mixed feelings he caused and why is he allowed to go with Diana Nicholas who has basically tore me apart since I was really young and try to start crap or with a supposed friend I was always there for who he screwed...
    I heard him in Cuba in vision he said I can't stand that bitch anymore...
    I saw Brittany disappear but when God not magic gave me a dream he chose her then got hurt so tried to come back to me...
    There were all of these bad ppl who wanted to hurt me and we're against me....
    I also saw war , anti Christ etc...
    You and my Aunt Stacy have my permission to check grahm hospital and blessings , don't ask the officers....
    I swear to you , I'm not crazy , and lots of bad things are being started and something very bad IS GOING TO HAPPEN...
    I can't explain everything I've "seen"

  49. A.... N....

    Stalking... Harassment... People trying to make me a bad person or look bad , trying to act like I killed my son Haydyn Dayne Beaird , repeatedly saying I'm going to jail.
    I never invited anyone to be able to watch me shower or use restroom or repeatedly put me through hell , use dream magic ...
    Make me have visions of me being raped etc...
    I am done...
    My stomache is starting to erode from it , blood pressure rising , chest n arm pains...
    Physically sick from the B's daily started around me.
    I do not deserve this...
    It is affecting all parts of me n my health....

  50. A.... N....

    What gives crooked cops or crooked judges and crooked people who have all repeatedly done things any right to do everything their doing ?
    NO RIGHT....

  51. A.... N....

    I cannot take all the Bs anymore please get them/him away from me.
    Every day I want to die...
    After everything n everything he is still doing why is he allowed to do all this after everything done already , I'm to good a woman and beautiful a soul to continually be hurt by his Diane Nicholas , Ginny , Gina , Jessica , Jennie's bs etc...
    The prob was never me it was that I chose to live and marry man I was to young to understand would never completely know the meaning of true love because his heart and mind are not ever one but full of anger hatred and jealousy...
    I saw all of this in Cuba already yet noone is stopping it....
    Everything being allowed should not be happening...
    Isolate him to himself ....
    I am alone and I'm staying that way...
    Please end the Havana or Mason county cherade or get me out of here...
    I cannot handle anymore...
    Damage upon damage is being allowed...
    It is affecting me , giving health problems , affecting my personal life and my children...
    Every aspect of it ...
    Yet I'm deemed the bad one...
    HOW CAN ANYONE JUST LET IT ALL CONTINUE

    A.... N....

    The games etc...
    I cannot take anymore

  52. A.... N....

    I feel her love , happy tears ?

  53. A.... N....

    Have mercy , atta girl?

  54. A.... N....

    Maybe I don't wanna know ?
    I don't go poking in BUISNESS I don't belong in...
    Hi dolly?

  55. A.... N....

    Hi Reba , it's okay :-( the shocked face , sad doubt , is there something I'm missing ?

  56. A.... N....

    Those people who hurt us are cursed in God's eyes and name and eventually they ALL have their day...
    It is hard enough to feel all the world's pain without it attacking you or invading your surroundings

  57. A.... N....

    64? 05?

  58. A.... N....

    From the bottom of my heart ; I know y'all understand and I love and appreciate you but my heroes are God and you...
    It all hurts so much...

  59. d.... ....

    That is so sad

  60. R.... ....

    only 151k views? what a fucking travesty!

  61. J.... U....

    I can't express how much this music has helped me. No words.

  62. J.... B....

    I think this is one of the best Cody jinks song I've ever heard

  63. C.... ....

    Listen to the songs in order and in this last one it’s like he’s finally realizing and accepting his issues

  64. G.... G....

  65. N.... I....

    This is real country music, none of that poppy sounding bs on every country radio station

  66. A.... H....

    2:24-3:59 this part is better then every single snap track country radio throws at us

  67. B.... D....

    What’s this falling from my eyes? Is it.....tears?

  68. C.... M....

    This song is the song of songwriters. How fucking beautiful this is. Also, if you people like this song I'd recommend an Irish folk singer, Damien Dempsey, "Sing All Our Cares Away".

  69. T.... M....

    Cody is one of my heroes. this song is my bff and I's bff song. Cody is amazing even tho I have only been to one of his concerts he is still the best. I am not technically a flocker but my dad is (im a 1/5 junior flockers im only 11)

  79. R.... W....

    Best country singer around, hands down.

  80. C.... A....

    I think song hits home to so many of us. I remember the day I first heard this I was working on a home. When I heard the line “I remember Jackson singing doctor, doctor please my eyes.” It totally caught me and hit me deep right there. And of course when he says “I’m still fighting the same battles I’ve been fighting all these years.” This song became my favorite off this album! Of course I love every damn song of Cody Jinks! Keep on doing what you do best Cody! We’re all hear to support ya!! Thank you sir and God bless you!!

  81. M.... S....

    brought back the faith in me that country music will survive, such a breath of fresh air hearing you bring back real country to peoples ears, hats off to Cody, keep the tunes coming

  82. K.... M....

    I know it's hard to find the words so often standin' face-to-face
    Sometimes it takes a thin white sheet to put things into place
    Things that I could never say come floodin' out somehow upon these lies

    I'm still fightin' the same battles I've been fightin' all these years
    Dream is not a dream unless you're livin' with a fear
    What they say will be forgotten, all that's done will be for naught and why?

    And it's been a long time, Lord, since I sat down and had a cry
    It's sometimes overwhelmin' and I can't tell you why
    But I remember Jackson singin' "Doctor, doctor, please, my eyes"

    My heroes, they're all dyin' or they're sittin' in a cell
    Due to years of medicatin', minds that hurt so well
    There's a thin line, don't you see, between genius and insanity, which am I?

    One thing that scares the hell in me is livin' with mortality
    And worryin' that I'm insane talkin' to a God unseen
    Must surely make me crazy, so crazy's what I'll be 'til I'm gone
    'Til I'm gone

    And I'll scream out to the sun and to the moon and to the stars
    I'll scream until my voice finds you, no matter where you are
    I'll scream until I've got no breath and all that's left to take is death
    And I'm done
    And I'm done

    K.... M....

    Got a few mistakes in there. I mean, the words are already on the screen.

  83. Y.... S....

    This song is amazing

  84. A.... K....

    Crazy’s what ill be till im gone... this song is theeee best!!! ... the song lyrics need to be in every NA book somewhere! Cody, you guys did it good on this one! Google: Cody Jinks Headcase- hymn of an addict. That is what this should be called (generically)

  85. L.... Z....

    This song was written for me...and my "headcase"!

  86. D.... T....

    You can feel his pain through simple chords and a few words. amazing #nashvillecanfoff

  87. T.... W....

    Much to twangy for me. No depth to the voice.

  88. G.... C....

    Best song to date....can’t even do a video for it to show the depth of the meaning. My sons head may come close. He’s my heart and the best person I know...He doesn’t deny his head case, he’s a son, a father, husband and demon fighter!!!

  89. M.... K....

    Just when you think he couldn’t write a better song then he writes something like this 😭

  90. A.... G....

    Till I am gone ❤ You're going to the Top Cody Jinks!!! Fuck Nashville!!! We love you Brother

  91. s.... n....

    LUV THE SONG GREAT ARTIST AND SONG WRITERS HAV A BLESSED DAY,AND WE ALL FEEL THIS WAY

  94. K.... J....

    Excellent writer and outlaw attitude!!

  95. j.... b....

    I wish nashville would take him in and accept his music

    j.... b....

    He doesn’t need Nashville #fucknashvillewellstartourowndamnclub

  96. R.... R....

    Me personally, I think this song sounds so much better if you slow it down to about: .80 or .85... youtube doesn't offer those but some song edit apps do . The song is good regardless though .

    R.... R....

    Collin Allen I like the speed, it portrays a sense of urgency and desperation.

  97. t.... ....

    Stumbled on this fellow by mistake best mistake i ever made.
