The H2H boys also host a benefit near their hometowns for a local charity, the Buckhorn Children's Center. The benefit, which is held in Crockettsville, Kentucky, is called the Halfway to Hazard Annual Charity Trail Ride. The Trail Ride actually consists of a concert on Saturday and a dirt bike/ATV ride through a trail system on Sunday. At the Second Annual Trail Ride, in 2009, Tim McGraw, Lee Brice, Dierks Bentley, Keith Anderson, and, of course, Halfway to Hazard were some of the performers for the concert on Saturday. Over $200,000 was raised by the more than 25,000 that attended.
As of 1/19/2010, it was announced David would be taking some personal time off from the duo and all performances/appearances were indefinitely postponed. It is not known what the future of H2H will be, though Chad assured fans on his Facebook page that he and David will reevaluate things in a few months and see where they stand.

Halfway to Hazard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I could go home but it's just an old empty house
So I find me a cheap motel room and a bottle of Black Label Jack
They might find me dead by the mornin' but they won't find me lookin' back
Cause there ain't nothin' like whiskey when time's movin' slow
It drowns out the misery, helps me let go
When the truth really hits me, she don't miss me, no
She used to wanna hold me and our fire burned so bright
But it's funny how forever can get up and say goodbye
But I've got the answer to my pain a way to face the truth
Well, I can drown out this heartache, but it's gonna take a hundred proof
Cause there ain't nothin' like whiskey when time's movin' slow
It drowns out the misery, helps me let go
When the truth really hits me, she don't miss me, no
There ain't nothin' like whiskey when a women turns cold
Tomorrow I don't know where I'm gonna be
But tonight at least I'll be free from her memory, yeah
Cause there ain't nothin' like whiskey when time's movin' slow
It drowns out the misery and helps me let go
When the truth really hits me, she don't miss me, no, whoa, no, no
There ain't nothin' like whiskey when a women turns cold
There ain't nothin' like whiskey when a women turns cold, yeah, turns cold
The Halfway to Hazard song "Cold" tackles the topic of heartbreak and the coping mechanism of drowning one's sorrows with whiskey. The singer is alone in an empty house with the rain coming down, wishing he could go home, but not having anywhere to go. So, he opts to stay in a cheap motel room with a bottle of whiskey, drowning out his misery and facing the truth. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the dangers of drinking excessively, as he says, "They might find me dead by the mornin', but they won't find me lookin' back." This indicates that he knows he might regret his actions in the morning but chooses to drink anyway.
The song highlights the power of whiskey as a coping mechanism - it helps the singer let go of his pain and forget the woman who has turned cold towards him. The lyrics suggest that the singer was in a passionate relationship that ended abruptly. He recalls how she used to hold him, and their fire burned bright, but she left him. The truth of her absence hits him hard, and he turns to whiskey to numb the pain.
The chorus repeats the idea that "there ain't nothin' like whiskey when a woman turns cold," emphasizing the idea that alcohol is the only way to deal with heartbreak. The singer is uncertain about his future but finds solace in the present moment, where he can at least be free from the memory of the woman who broke his heart.
