In early 2000, a chance meeting between Chris Higbee and Chris "Abby" Abbondanza led to beginning of The PovertyNeck Hillbillies. Five years later, The PovertyNeck Hillbillies are a six member band formed from the roots of talent, ambition and a genuine passion for country music. Chris Higbee (fiddle), Abby (lead vocals), Dave Cramer (keyboards, vocals), Ryan Lucotch (drums), Jeff Volek (bass), and Junior (electric guitar) are the magic six from the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that make this group unlike any other country act that is out there.
The charismatic, live performances that The PovertyNeck Hillbillies deliver night after night to thousands of fans of all ages and cowboy boot sizes are a true testament to why this group is the greatest new band in the world of country music. Abby's vocals blend a deep, country twang with a hint of rocknroll gravel, and are backed by powerful harmonies in songs such as, "She Rides Wild Horses" and "Mr. Right Now." The six piece band provides the full, articulate sound that makes The PovertyNeck Hillbillies unique in their genre.
As the official band of the Pittsburgh Steelers, PNH has a deep loyalty to their hometown soil, where in 2005 their debut release sold over 2,100 units in the first week of distribution. "Hillbilly State of Mind" sold over 30,000 units regionally, attracting national attention from the Country Music Association, who promptly named the band one of the "top independent artists of 2005."
Producer/manager, Bob Corbin (Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr. and Alabama) has been with the band since the beginning and is the songwriter behind some of the album's greatest tunes. The album will hit stores on June 6th, 2006 and will come with a bonus two hour DVD featuring a live concert/documentary, produced by WQED in Pittsburgh. The documentary has been in syndicated rotation on PBS stations in over twenty states nationwide. As regional heavyweights with national radio, television and media attention, The PovertyNeck Hillbillies are rapidly becoming country music's fastest rising stars.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's not a blessed thing that I can do
You're and angel, but baby you're a devil too
Heaven help me I'm in love with you
You can have all my money, you can have anything.
If you'll Promise to wear my ring.
Just when I think I got you, oh, you slip away.
Don't know what I'm gonna do
All I can say is?
Heaven help me, I'm in love with you.
There's not a blessed thing that I can do
You're and angel, but baby you're a devil too
Heaven help me I'm in love with you
If you'd only show me one little sign.
And let me know that someday you'll be mine
But you Keep me guessing, is it yes or no?
I'm Up and down like a yo-yo, don't know which way to go.
Heaven help me, I'm in love with you.
There's not a blessed thing that I can do
You're and angel, but baby you're a devil too

Every night I bow my head and I pray.
Each tomorrow's gonna be the day
You see the light and show me a sign
And let me know you're gonna be mine all mine
In Povertyneck Hillbillies' song "Heaven Help Me," the singer is expressing his love and frustration for a woman who he can't seem to win over. He admits that she has a hold on him and his heart, despite the fact that she's a combination of both an angel and a devil. He's willing to give her everything, including his money and a marriage proposal, but she keeps him guessing and unsure of her feelings towards him. He prays to get a sign from her to let him know that she'll be his someday.
The lyrics in this song convey the emotions of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who he can't seem to fully win over. The contrast between her being an angel and a devil also suggests that she may have two sides to her personality or that her actions toward him are confusing and inconsistent. He is willing to do anything for her and hopes that one day she will return his feelings. The line "There's not a blessed thing that I can do" suggests that he is somewhat powerless in this situation and that his heart is leading him towards this woman, despite the potential heartbreak.
