The 14-track HIXTAPE: Vol. 2 came to a close on Friday with the release of the final track, “Goin’ Nowhere,” featuring HARDY, Morgan Wallen and Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters.

Co-written by HIXTAPE founder HARDY alongside Joe Clemmons, Jacob Durrett and Canaan Smith, the rowdy country/rock anthem finds the singers content with the country surroundings as they declare, “I’m goin’ nowhere.” 

“‘Cause I’m stuck in this town in my truck riding ‘round with a plug of long cut in my lip/ You’d have to cut the whole tree down/ Can’t rip these roots out the ground ain’t getting out and I don’t care/ ‘Cause why in the hell would I leave/ I don’t need anything but fried chicken and crickets/ If there’s a yellow pine box you can carry me in it/ This red dirt you can bury me in it/ I’m goin’ nowhere,” goes the chorus.

Featuring vocals from HARDY and Wallen with Shiflett on guitar, “Goin’ Nowhere” was produced by Joey Moi with co-production by Derek Wells.

The track completes the 14-week track reveal for HIXTAPE: Vol. 2, which features a whopping 33 artists in total, including Ashland Craft, Ben Burgess, Brantley Gilbert, Brothers Osborne, Chase Rice, Chris Lane, Chris Shiflett, Colt Ford, David Lee Murphy, Dierks Bentley, ERNEST, Granger Smith, Jake Owen, Jake Worthington, Jimmie Allen, Jon Pardi, Josh Thompson, Justin Moore, Lainey Wilson, Larry Fleet, Lee Brice, Marty Stuart, Matt Stell, Midland, Morgan Wallen, Randy Houser, Rhett Akins, Ronnie Dunn, Scotty McCreery, Sean Stemaly, The Cadillac Three and Travis Denning.
