Viral country singer Oliver Anthony released a brand new song on Tuesday, titled "I Want To Go Home."
The song from the man best known for "Rich Men North of Richmond" details frustrations about the current state of the world and praying to God about how concerned he is. Anthony's song also says that a day living in "this new world" is one too many and that people simply do what the "rich men" and their TV set tell them to believe.

"Son, we're on the brink of the next world war / and I don't think nobody's prayin' no more / and I ain't sayin' I know it for sure / I'm just down on my knees beggin', Lord / take me home, I wanna go home," the song's lyrics read.
The song has only been up for a little over 12 hours as of Wednesday morning and has already amassed over 1 million views and over 143,000 likes on YouTube.

Last week, Anthony revealed through social media that he turned down various $8 million offers from the music industry and explained that he had written his viral song due to him dealing with depression and mental health.
"These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung," Anthony wrote. "No editing, no agent, no bulls***. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place."
