The transcript captures the sung lyrics of Kaleb Sanders' cover of Parker McCollum's song "Hell of a Year." The verses convey a narrator reflecting on a tumultuous twelve‑month period marked by regret, broken promises, emotional exhaustion, and a strained relationship. Repeated refrains emphasize that it has been "a hell of a year," while the narrator oscillates between longing for home, acknowledging personal failings, and describing the weight of the world that both freed and trapped them. The lyrical narrative moves through self‑critique, acknowledgment of lies, the pain of separation, and a resigned acceptance that the relationship and home no longer feel safe or loving.

I could have been right, was probably wrong. So many nights wishing I could go home. It's been a hell of a year. It's been a hell of a year-o! Oh oh oh—
