We can still have these times. My great grandma taught me that. Never let go, instill the simple life into your children and so on. Gotta fight to keep that cherished lifestyle around.
I know you southerners won’t agree with me but this is a perfect representation of how my Sundays were in rural NY. Grandma had Sunday dinner cooking. We went to church and the entire family ate together after church.
I'm a 52 year old black man & this is my favorite country group of all time!! This song makes me cry. I miss the 80s America!! I miss 80s 90s country music. It wasn't perfect but it seemed so much more hopeful and simpler and so less sensitive Before 9/11.
I'm a 46 year old white man. Until recently, I've discovered how to really live life. I look around everything going on in the world nowadays. They want us all divided. We all as equal humans, we have so much to learn from each other. Yes, this is a beautiful song , we all need to get a better job as humans to all come together and learn each other. We all bleed red ,
@MorrisBranch-jf6dq - just turned 50 myself - grew up in a little Southern town in North Florida. One of those good ole boy places. HS Valedictorian ... Black and Female. We were not dumb hicks or racists still mad about the civil war. We were all pretty decent kids, worst thing that happened in my class (a pregnancy or two was it) We all had manners, yes mam, no sir (I still say it - but live in NYC area now and they look at me funny or get a little mad). I listen to pretty much any music ever recorded in any genre. But i'll admit ... For tall he bright lights of Broadway - There's a pickup on dirt road with a song on radio that I wouldn't mind being back in sometimes. Was such a simpler time, I don't know how we moved forward in time and things all around seemed to have gotten worse. That high school valedictorian and I are still friends today and speak often - all we can do hang tight to our fond memories and try to make the world a little better from where we are in our own ways. Keep Hope Alive - and may you be always blessed with all the Love, Light and Laughter - your heart and hands can hold!
It was better then' As to where the here and now will probably be better than forty years From now ! Or will it be better forty years from now!! Only time will tell'
Does anyone else have flash backs of growing up/childhood while listening to Shenandoah?! Am remembering things I never knew I remembered in the first place. God bless you guys for all the music that is evidently a staple of my youth and a part of so many of my memories. Thank you.
Oh this southern country gal sute loves them. They were the best in my eyes. Never knew why they split up tho. Wish they were still making music to this day.
Doesn't matter the race or religion bro, just enjoy the lyrics and instruments . If it moves ya, then your truly enjoying it, and that's all the artists want.
Michelle Mccane they’re still making music together. Even touring together I seen them about a year ago or more. Even though Marty raybon left for a little while to do bluegrass the band never was done. Guy I’ve met before billy Droze and currently is killing the bluegrass charts was lead singer for a bit. Marty was with his brother for a little while called the raybon brothers which they released two songs to radio. His bluegrass band was called Marty raybon and full circle. The whole band is back together now.
I loved the new version with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. They added their own flare to it. The song still the same, and it always will be. They just added up to it to make it sound even better. ❤❤
I grew up in the 80s in South Carolina. Sundays were for church, Grandma's house, then back home to change clothes for Sunday night church. Stores were not open, no alcohol sales on Sundays, it was just an easier life. I used to swing on Grandma's porch with my cousins and just play games in the yard. What happened to that? It was a simpler time and a better time. Now, everything is so different. Sunday just seems like another day and that's a shame.
@@trwoody1 first of all, you know nothing about me. You assume things that are incorrect. I am a Christian and born again. Bet you assumed otherwise by your insidious judgement of me in your comment. Don't throw stones at a guy holding a machine gun...
Agree his voice is so remarkable. Love all their songs. Although not politically correct by today's standards I still love it as it describes the era I grew up in.
I'm 60 years old, born and raised in Georgia. The people here are the best. Sunday's in south are about God, church and family. I've enjoyed many many Sundays similar to what is being shown in this video. There's no other area of this country I'd rather live.
There are so many people who do not understand this. They attack our heritage, our flag, our monuments, and our culture as if they can delete the very existence of history.
Do all you can to preserve this way of living.Today's thinking is disintegrating our land ,tradition, governments weird groups of modernizing wanting us to never think of the past anymore thinking that they have the answers, I will never bow down to this new trend, it's in all our small little towns now strange new people
I grew up in Texas 🇨🇱 I remember days like this my family at Nana and grandaddy's can't wait to sit in the Lord's house someday again with my family and days like this again I really miss all my family who's gone on ahead of me😭
I remember this song, throughout my life. I still hear the message it sends. We need this kind of friendship, fellowship, beliefs, and community strength that is shown in this video. Not just one ethnic group, but all of us.
So many are trying to divide us, but it’s important to remember that we are all neighbors and Americans first. I don’t want to know what my neighbor believes in before I offer assistance, I just help because they are in a way kin. If we look out for each other than no one can tear us down.
@oskorei123 Get the fuck out of here dude! I've got black and brown brothers I would die for and they would do the same for me. I know everyone's milage may vary depending on where they live ( Chicago or Baltimore may be different) but I'm from east Tennessee and that's not what I see at all on a daily basis. Community is Community and family is family, regardless of race color or creed. Treat people the way that you would want to be treated and most people will do the same. Don't let the elites divide us. It's what they want.
I grew up in the South & my parent's did nothing on the Sabbath, Gods day, Church & lazy afternoons then back to church in the evening. I'm 73 parents long left earth & I still live this way.
From start to finish of this song. If you're from the south you already know. If you're not, come by and visit... maybe take some southern values and morals w ya.
I’m not from the South, but this song reminds me of Sunday lunch at home in Bayside, NY with my parents and brothers. That’s the thing about Country Music, no matter where you from, it brings memories of family and friends gathered around in prayer, having a meal and enjoying each other’s company. I miss those days. God bless America, our family and friends. Especially, Shenandoah.
Oh why oh why can't it be like it was back in the old days ? I miss them God. I go to church come home 🏡 change clothes eat a big dinner lazy around got back in our clothes and went back to church. When family was family. Using my friend phone my name is April. 😭😢Sad it's changed I feel sorry for my kids I try to keep it like it was it's hard.
I grew up in North Alabama, right across the river from where this music video was filmed. This song takes me back to my childhood. Sundays, you went to church, grandmothers for lunch, play outside with cousins if the weather was nice, then back to church Sunday night. Most stores weren’t open, it was so peaceful. Miss those days
Me too. But we didn’t have church on Sunday evening. Too small. But back home to wash all the dirt off you from the day of playing with all my cousins.
This breaks my heart, we no longer have this, a lost lifestyle of family & the Lord's day spent in celebration of family & community! Love that Marty expresses this ❣️
An entire different time in our Country. Hard pressed to find these folks anymore, but some of us still talk slow and appreciate a good "gathering" on Sunday evening! Life was better then, no doubt!
Sucks watching these great old videos. Such memories. Then knowing all the older people are no longer alive and the kids are 30s,40s. Man i miss these days.
This was playing on CMT every morning when I was getting ready for school and dad was getting ready for work. Great memories I will cherish till I die. Miss you daddy. 😢
I so remember hearing this song playing in my playlist Wayback in the day, when my oldest daughter was only 16 years old working on her homework at the table, and her younger brother and sister were out in the backyard playing games, mama was to my right asleep in her chair, and I was wide awake watching my life unfold in front of me. Priceless!
Joe Bigs its sad; tonight the tear is in my eye. I'm not from the south but its the same where I grew up; the general concept of decency and respect has really taken a beating.
I can't help but look around and see everything wrong in the world right now. This video really puts into perspective just how important family, good wholesome values, and community really are for a healthy society. Everyone be safe out there.
@@tugba.uenver Yes but you absolutely must pay attention to what is going on right now and research who is behind this. Part of the reason we are in this mess is because of that attitude. People don't want to deal with reality and "only focus on the good". You can't just ignore evil. It's a never ending battle. You need to be aware of and understand the bad. You need to know what they are up to. You need to be prepared to beat back the tides of evil. You don't have to obsess over it but you must pay attention. Now evil is on cusp of killing and enslaving most of us just because people didn't want to "focus on the bad". Situational awareness is crucial for survival. It seems most humans exercise very little Situational awareness and only focus on their own little fairytale reality wich is actually not based in reality. The reality of what has been at play and what agendas have been pushed for decades now is absolutely horrifying and evil. If you just focus on the good then the bad will be allowed to go completely unchallenged. I say be aware of the bad and pay attention to it while maintaining a good positive attitude and outlook. The fist step for us surviving what is about to happen is realizing that bad is currently running the entire show. Then you must resist bad. Then you must spread the word and try to wake people up. If you don't and just want to live imaginary land then don't be surprised when your entire reality becomes nothing but bad and there is no longer any good to focus on. I suggest you watch movie's like 1984, V for vendetta and Soylent green to understand where we are headed and our current reality.
That is awesome I was in the military when my grandma died she called me the day before she died . The next day my company commander called me into his office and told me. I grew up in my grandma's house and I loved her deeply .
Sunday was the day our whole clan went to Mamaw Allen's for lunch(after church). She had been a widow before i was born. It was her everything, that we all showed up. and we did. the best eating of my life!!!! Fried chicken, green beans w potatoes, fresh cut cucumbers and tomatoes, greens and stack cake. etc. and we all talked and laughed the whole time...I miss her and all of them...growing up in the South was wonderful.
Man this video makes me smell the coconut cake and sun tea brewing on the picnic table and my grandma and papas house after church every Sunday. Running around being so innocent so unaware of the road we have had ahead. Loved this time and miss all those who have passed. God bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸
Every time I’m cruising around South Georgia it still feels like old time, simple living, everyone being nice , just different than anywhere else . I love the south I love being born here this will forever be my home
There's nothing like a Sacred Sunday. Mama and Grandma came from Alabama, moved to Oklahoma 1940. I spent every summer I could with my Grandma. Loved country/small town life, but unfortunately grew up in the city. Still crave country, small town life today I grew up listening to music like this, my Uncles played before I was born. They could play all the old gospel, bluegrass and songs your heart could desire
I remember as a young high school boy I worked on a ranch cutting hay and i had a closed cab tractor with a radio in it. I loved when this song would come on i'd open the tractor doors and the smell of the fresh cut hay and this song blaring was some great memories.
This song brings back memories of my childhood. I'm 58, and so much has changed over the years. Family gatherings are a thing of the past with this new generation.
Even they did bring back family gatherings like this, it was just be a gathering of most of them with their faces stuck in their cell phones barely communicating
@@johnspinelli9396 We have these traditions still and a lot more....And its now 2024 we can have a mixer.... If you don't think so you need to start being more open minded and paying attention.....,,This world is made of "diversity" .....All the ones that refuse to co -exist with others are living different good lives are going to have some serious hard times moving forward.,. ..
The essence of honeysuckle wafts easily in the breeze, hum drum chatter blended with the chaotic laughter of running children, and over all the Lord showers down His love and life on U.S. An inspirational Southern song and a credit to those who put it together. Godspeed y'all.❤
Each time I hear Marty's voice starting this song, I am transported back to my country childhood. Small white country church, dinner on the grounds was always a big thrill. Barbershop pole? Check. No rebel flag (I am from Southern Illinois). But I lived on a gravel road, we got our water from a well, never ever did have A/C, rode the school bus from Kindergarten til graduation from h.s. (Rode the bus because none of us kids could afford to buy a car, working on our farm and couldn't get an outside job.) Country memories are sweet.
A friend of mine drove his school bus because he & his sister lived the farthest out from town. He was surprised to move to a larger city & learn that they wouldn't let a student drive the school bus.
Covered dish at church when I was a kid are literally my favorite meals of all time. Fried chicken, fish, casseroles, pies, cobblers, It was like all the grandmas in town bringing out their best dishes. I'd give anything to eat Mrs. Richard's fried chicken and potato salad again. She was like 90 and could hardly walk but could still feed a congregation like it was nothing.
53 years ago I was born in Tuscaloosa Alabama. Sunday church, porch swings , playing in the dirt. Drinking out of the hose pipe, riding bicycles. No video games only 3 TV channels to watch....Good times are long gone.
I have a buddy that opened up a show For Marty Raybon. He was a super nice guy, but what impressed me the most was after the show he was talking and praying with a lady in a wheelchair. He was so sincere. And I got my picture taken with him.
Sometimes I drive through the small town I live in now. Been here since 1976....warm summer evenings, windows down and my truck tire's low growl on the old asphalt down main street and this song on the radio. I look at all of those old storefronts that 'used to be' but are still there....just different. Different names, different stores. Takes me right back to those days when I was young. Man if we'd only known what the future would hold back then, maybe we'd not been in such a hurry to move on or get older. Makes me miss the friends and family that have passed away too. I thank God that when I need a trip back in time, it's only 4 miles away.
“The smell of dinner on the ground...”. Boy, that takes me back. Making yourself a plate, or Mama made you one. Myself and a bunch of cousins sittin’ in the yard under the big oak tree eating Sunday dinner while the grownups ate at the table. Good times. I miss those times.
I grew up in Marion,KY. That was my Sunday in the South. Nannie's fried chicken cornbread mashed potatoes corn Bush's Shelly green beans fruit cocktail Jello mold. And a Dunkin Hines Chocolate Marble Cake with fudge icing That looked identical to the box. In the house her and Dad's dad built. Nannie Nannie (having 8 great grand babies gives you the extra Nannie) of passed away at 100 yrs and 38 days. May we all be that subuornly BLESSED.
Back when I was a kid before social media and cell phones, those Sunday afternoons just seemed to drag on forever. Now I sit here on a sunday and it feels like you blink on friday and the weekend is gone. I would say they were simpler times but for our parents, now that I am older, I bet they felt the same way those days that i do now.
Amen brother! Church, Grandma's for lunch, play with the cousins and neighbors, church at night, dinner, shower, tv, bed. I hated that little N.C. town when I was growing up and couldn't wait to get out of there. I'd give anything now to be back there then.
My favorite video of Shenandoah. Recorded in our hometown of Tuscumbia, Al. Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. Many of the buildings shown in the beginning are still around. A couple have long since been torn down or renovated but most are still the same.
These song take me back growing up in kentucky...on sundays it was family's being together...eating and praying together I miss those memories🙏😃🙋♀️👵👴🧑👧👦👶👩
Agree I grow in the 90!!! In Kentucky when no one worked on Sundays that was the rest day when it was church family 👪praying to gather. I miss those days it Krystal!!!!!
I remember Texas Sunday's when i was a kid. All of the family together. The women in the kitchen preparing dinner and all of the men and the kids on the front porch. The world was different back then for sure.
This video is a flash back to the undeniably best time in history. People and families in our country will never be the same . My heart aches with a longing for those days and the people that were in my life then.
Born 87 and raised east of Nashville TN nothing was open on Sunday and everything closed after dark unless it was a truck stop and Waffle House. I remember when Walmart and McDonalds started the 24 hr thing, SMH I’m glad I got to live it
It truly was. Every time I hear this song, I get so nostalgic. My mom's fried chicken, singing in church to an out-of-tune piano while sweat pours off you since there's no air conditioning, my dad loading us kids up for a Sunday afternoon drive....oh, those summer Sundays in Alabama in the 1960s. Blessed.
Oh man , that does sound good . I'm only 28 years old and I remember in the 90s and maybe early 2000$ my grandfather loved having community events , people coming in and out all day , BBQ and camp stew . No drinking no fussing just good times .

Can't speak for everyone, but this was such a better day in America, for me and mine.
Definitely. This black guy agrees
It really was. Seems like what my deddy said, the world has changed and left him behind. But for myself what we have isnt progress its just a mess.
yep
We can still have these times. My great grandma taught me that. Never let go, instill the simple life into your children and so on. Gotta fight to keep that cherished lifestyle around.
Amen!!

What the hell happened to our country? I grew up like this right here. I miss our old days.
Corrupt politicians on both sides Republican and Democrat. That's what happened to our country
Good question?.
Too many people stopped listening to the old folks that were like this, and now they listen to the crazy progressives.
The Government
Democrats!!
2024 still listening anyone ??
Yessir!
Absolutely
Sure am.
Always. Can't beat how country use to be
Me.
Makes me miss the world I grew up in.
100%. Back when life was so much better. Almost Unrecognizable now.
Notices the older you get how much this song touches you. Lord Thank you for our Southern Heritage
Bless you! 🙂

Traditional Southern Country music. Spot on comment
Absolutely ❤
And the changes taking place in our world today it makes a person long for the good old days
Makes me cry.I miss these days so bad
Me too. Terribly
Man me too I miss my mom and dad everyday 😭😭
Never stopped
We did not how good we had it.
Damn I would give up everything to go back there
We sure didn't

I remember this song, throughout my life. I still hear the message it sends. We need this kind of friendship, fellowship, beliefs, and community strength that is shown in this video. Not just one ethnic group, but all of us.
You are so right! This love for each other, and distance from electronics, and back to faith.
What you dream of is impossible without ethnic homogeneity. Coexistence is not possible, separation is the only solution.
So many are trying to divide us, but it’s important to remember that we are all neighbors and Americans first. I don’t want to know what my neighbor believes in before I offer assistance, I just help because they are in a way kin. If we look out for each other than no one can tear us down.

Can we bring this type of country music back please ?

Same here. I love '90s country. Country isn't the same anymore.
Never be the same

I grew up in the South & my parent's did nothing on the Sabbath, Gods day, Church & lazy afternoons then back to church in the evening. I'm 73 parents long left earth & I still live this way.
Hello sandy,how are you doing?😊
❤ A-men!!!❤
From start to finish of this song. If you're from the south you already know. If you're not, come by and visit... maybe take some southern values and morals w ya.
I’m not from the South, but this song reminds me of Sunday lunch at home in Bayside, NY with my parents and brothers. That’s the thing about Country Music, no matter where you from, it brings memories of family and friends gathered around in prayer, having a meal and enjoying each other’s company.
I miss those days. God bless America, our family and friends. Especially, Shenandoah.
Oh why oh why can't it be like it was back in the old days ? I miss them God. I go to church come home 🏡 change clothes eat a big dinner lazy around got back in our clothes and went back to church. When family was family. Using my friend phone my name is April. 😭😢Sad it's changed I feel sorry for my kids I try to keep it like it was it's hard.
Hello 👋,how are you doing?🌹🌹
Man oh man I miss these times. Things were sooo much simpler back then. But unfortunately them days are long gone and just a memory
If this song doesn't touch you in any way you don't have a heart
amen
I grew up in North Alabama, right across the river from where this music video was filmed. This song takes me back to my childhood. Sundays, you went to church, grandmothers for lunch, play outside with cousins if the weather was nice, then back to church Sunday night. Most stores weren’t open, it was so peaceful. Miss those days
Me too. But we didn’t have church on Sunday evening. Too small. But back home to wash all the dirt off you from the day of playing with all my cousins.
This breaks my heart, we no longer have this, a lost lifestyle of family & the Lord's day spent in celebration of family & community! Love that Marty expresses this ❣️
😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
Amen
You and me both, friend
An entire different time in our Country. Hard pressed to find these folks anymore, but some of us still talk slow and appreciate a good "gathering" on Sunday evening! Life was better then, no doubt!
To be honest a lot of that you re talking about still exist .... A lot.... Seek and you shall find that same way of life..
This song has stood the test of time. Like a fine wine it only gets better with age
Sucks watching these great old videos. Such memories. Then knowing all the older people are no longer alive and the kids are 30s,40s. Man i miss these days.
Keep on keepin on
So true!
This was playing on CMT every morning when I was getting ready for school and dad was getting ready for work. Great memories I will cherish till I die. Miss you daddy. 😢
What i wouldn't give just to listen to this beautiful song with my mother and father 😢
Everyday I miss my child hood grew up poor with parents that always made sure we had what we needed
God bless Dixie and God bless the South! Brings back sweet southern memories , Tennessee, Alabama , Georgia , how I miss it .
If u get a second, read my comment about the south.
God Bless Dixie
@charlir wood yes 😂 sorry had it changed to that , when I was arguing with a guy with a Lincoln pic as his profile picture 😂
@charlir wood agreed 😂
@Shadow push Miami off into the ocean and we'll think about it 😂
I'm so proud of my heritage. This song means so much to me!!!!!!!
Lol
I so remember hearing this song playing in my playlist Wayback in the day, when my oldest daughter was only 16 years old working on her homework at the table, and her younger brother and sister were out in the backyard playing games, mama was to my right asleep in her chair, and I was wide awake watching my life unfold in front of me. Priceless!
@@aussenn4915 👍👍
Hell yeah me to proud to be good ole Tennessee boy go vols
@@trevorrogers8092 👍👍
Ok I have a tear In my eye. Man how I miss these days. What happen to the world?
Joe Bigs Liberals
@@RelicHunter001 I believe you are right my friend
@@RelicHunter001 exactly
Joe Bigs its sad; tonight the tear is in my eye. I'm not from the south but its the same where I grew up; the general concept of decency and respect has really taken a beating.
@@jimedward8908 it's like that world ended and i have No idea what this place is
I can't help but look around and see everything wrong in the world right now. This video really puts into perspective just how important family, good wholesome values, and community really are for a healthy society. Everyone be safe out there.
If you look for the bad, law of attraction will bring you more of that 🙏🏽 look for what you wish to see 🤍
@@tugba.uenver Yes but you absolutely must pay attention to what is going on right now and research who is behind this. Part of the reason we are in this mess is because of that attitude. People don't want to deal with reality and "only focus on the good". You can't just ignore evil. It's a never ending battle. You need to be aware of and understand the bad. You need to know what they are up to. You need to be prepared to beat back the tides of evil. You don't have to obsess over it but you must pay attention. Now evil is on cusp of killing and enslaving most of us just because people didn't want to "focus on the bad". Situational awareness is crucial for survival. It seems most humans exercise very little Situational awareness and only focus on their own little fairytale reality wich is actually not based in reality. The reality of what has been at play and what agendas have been pushed for decades now is absolutely horrifying and evil. If you just focus on the good then the bad will be allowed to go completely unchallenged. I say be aware of the bad and pay attention to it while maintaining a good positive attitude and outlook. The fist step for us surviving what is about to happen is realizing that bad is currently running the entire show. Then you must resist bad. Then you must spread the word and try to wake people up. If you don't and just want to live imaginary land then don't be surprised when your entire reality becomes nothing but bad and there is no longer any good to focus on. I suggest you watch movie's like 1984, V for vendetta and Soylent green to understand where we are headed and our current reality.
God family guns, my family is awakened now
@@dannypitcher785 It's sad that guns are that important to you. Their only purpose is taking life.
Amen
Man, I'd give anything to go back in time to grandma's house. I mean anything.
That is awesome I was in the military when my grandma died she called me the day before she died . The next day my company commander called me into his office and told me. I grew up in my grandma's house and I loved her deeply .
Me to
I would as well
You said it, buddy. Those times... Man, nothing will ever replace them.
Amen
What I wouldn't give to go back to 1989.... Thanks for the memories, Shenandoah! 💗
That makes two of us.
1982
Me to girl me to! I would slow it down a little bit and soak it all in
1989 a very good year!!!
I was 8 and couldn't have been happier. Literally sports, playing in the woods, fishing, church and family. That was life.
I grew up
in the 60 s and 70 s . In South Carolina. This makes me cry.
I'm proud two be born in the south and I WONT APPOLIZGE FOR IT
American by birth Southern by the grace of GOD.
Well at least we know the dislikes are from people not from the south and definitely have no heart.
Damn made me cry like a baby. 36 haven’t heard this song in awhile. Took me through a rollercoaster of nostalgia emotions.
ohYESSSSSSSSSS
I’m 36 too. It hits home. Roll Tide
I'm 39 very special proud to be good ole Tennessee boy go big orange baby
I listen to this song when I wanna go back to better times in my life,when things weren't so crazy and complicated.
I'm a Yankee boy, but damn I love this song. Reminds me of so many Sunday dinners at my grammas house when I was young
I’m from Bayside, an area of New York City and this great song reminds me of Sunday lunch when mom would cook baked chicken and potatoes. Miss ya mom!
@@TxAmber78 I don't mind at all. You should never be embarrassed about the way you talk. If other folks don't like it, too bad for them. 😃😃😃😃
@@TxAmber78 I agree your accent is yours be proud I have a slight accent but I love my accent so should you
@@TxAmber78 Whatever makes you happy, but remember the grass is always greener on the other side
@@TxAmber78 I'm from the North and I love the southern accent
I can still hear my grandmothers voice, Keep the sabbath holy.
Where is this kind of music nowadays? Oh wait. Country isn't the same
Loved this song the first time i heard it. Spending Saturday night with my grand parents and Sunday dinner was the best
I know from living in Georgia that Sunday was a special day with family to honor our Lord Jesus.
Sunday was the day our whole clan went to Mamaw Allen's for lunch(after church). She had been a widow before i was born. It was her everything, that we all showed up. and we did.
the best eating of my life!!!!
Fried chicken, green beans w potatoes, fresh cut cucumbers and tomatoes, greens and stack cake. etc. and we all talked and laughed the whole time...I miss her and all of them...growing up in the South was wonderful.
Man this video makes me smell the coconut cake and sun tea brewing on the picnic table and my grandma and papas house after church every Sunday. Running around being so innocent so unaware of the road we have had ahead. Loved this time and miss all those who have passed. God bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸
Every time I’m cruising around South Georgia it still feels like old time, simple living, everyone being nice , just different than anywhere else . I love the south I love being born here this will forever be my home
Amen brother! There's nothing like the South.
I feel the same, from NW Georgia! Love the south & Georgia!!
One of the best country songs ever.
Love Shenandoah
wish it was still a sunday in the south, may god bless us all
Okn
This song is my time machine. When I hear it I close my eyes and go back in time.
This song will always make me cry. Every time.
There's nothing like a Sacred Sunday. Mama and Grandma came from Alabama, moved to Oklahoma 1940.
I spent every summer I could with my Grandma. Loved country/small town life, but unfortunately grew up in the city.
Still crave country, small town life today
I grew up listening to music like this, my Uncles played before I was born. They could play all the old gospel, bluegrass and songs your heart could desire
Hello Brenda,how are you doing?🌹🌹
Nothing captures the '80s in the South like this song.
Song of the south- by Alabama. is a good one too.
Read my comment about the south if u get a second, thanks.
Bruce Hornsby and the range-every little kiss is the same way
I remember as a young high school boy I worked on a ranch cutting hay and i had a closed cab tractor with a radio in it. I loved when this song would come on i'd open the tractor doors and the smell of the fresh cut hay and this song blaring was some great memories.
What I love about the South, we can work with each other here. Love one another.
This song brings back memories of my childhood. I'm 58, and so much has changed over the years. Family gatherings are a thing of the past with this new generation.
I’m 40 and I remember watching all the great videos on CMT in the early 90’s at my grandma’s.
As someone in this newer generation, I want to bring back these traditions
Amen
Even they did bring back family gatherings like this, it was just be a gathering of most of them with their faces stuck in their cell phones barely communicating
@@johnspinelli9396 We have these traditions still and a lot more....And its now 2024 we can have a mixer.... If you don't think so you need to start being more open minded and paying attention.....,,This world is made of "diversity" .....All the ones that refuse to co -exist with others are living different good lives are going to have some serious hard times moving forward.,. ..
The essence of honeysuckle wafts easily in the breeze, hum drum chatter blended with the chaotic laughter of running children, and over all the Lord showers down His love and life on U.S.
An inspirational Southern song and a credit to those who put it together. Godspeed y'all.❤
Each time I hear Marty's voice starting this song, I am transported back to my country childhood. Small white country church, dinner on the grounds was always a big thrill. Barbershop pole? Check. No rebel flag (I am from Southern Illinois). But I lived on a gravel road, we got our water from a well, never ever did have A/C, rode the school bus from Kindergarten til graduation from h.s. (Rode the bus because none of us kids could afford to buy a car, working on our farm and couldn't get an outside job.) Country memories are sweet.
A friend of mine drove his school bus because he & his sister lived the farthest out from town.
He was surprised to move to a larger city & learn that they wouldn't let a student drive the school bus.
Covered dish at church when I was a kid are literally my favorite meals of all time. Fried chicken, fish, casseroles, pies, cobblers, It was like all the grandmas in town bringing out their best dishes. I'd give anything to eat Mrs. Richard's fried chicken and potato salad again. She was like 90 and could hardly walk but could still feed a congregation like it was nothing.
I'll nominate you for an "honorary southerner" title. You sound like you'd fit right in down here.
53 years ago I was born in Tuscaloosa Alabama. Sunday church, porch swings , playing in the dirt. Drinking out of the hose pipe, riding bicycles. No video games only 3 TV channels to watch....Good times are long gone.
And no cell phones ringing constantly in church and everywhere else!
I'm so blessed to have grown up this way in Texas... and my daddy was the preacher!🙏❤
Hello Michele,how are you doing?😊
I have a buddy that opened up a show For Marty Raybon. He was a super nice guy, but what impressed me the most was after the show he was talking and praying with a lady in a wheelchair. He was so sincere. And I got my picture taken with him.
Lord this brings back memories im 68 need to go back simple times. 😢
Sometimes I drive through the small town I live in now. Been here since 1976....warm summer evenings, windows down and my truck tire's low growl on the old asphalt down main street and this song on the radio.
I look at all of those old storefronts that 'used to be' but are still there....just different.
Different names, different stores. Takes me right back to those days when I was young. Man if we'd only known what the future would hold back then, maybe we'd not been in such a hurry to move on or get older.
Makes me miss the friends and family that have passed away too.
I thank God that when I need a trip back in time, it's only 4 miles away.
It’s another beautiful Sunday here in Alabama
Amen my friend
Lone Wolf yes it is GOD bless Bama
If y’all have a second, read my comment about the south. Thanks
“The smell of dinner on the ground...”. Boy, that takes me back. Making yourself a plate, or Mama made you one. Myself and a bunch of cousins sittin’ in the yard under the big oak tree eating Sunday dinner while the grownups ate at the table. Good times. I miss those times.
Yes.
What's so sad is a lot of those aren't with us know more.R I p.
I'm so thankful to have grown up in those beautiful years!
I grew up in Marion,KY. That was my Sunday in the South. Nannie's fried chicken cornbread mashed potatoes corn Bush's Shelly green beans fruit cocktail Jello mold. And a Dunkin Hines Chocolate Marble Cake with fudge icing
That looked identical to the box.
In the house her and Dad's dad built.
Nannie Nannie (having 8 great grand babies gives you the extra Nannie) of passed away at 100 yrs and 38 days.
May we all be that subuornly BLESSED.
I'm from Appalachian ky
Remember when Country music was good? I miss this!!!
When you couldn't buy beer on Sundays, when you couldn't find an open door at the store on Sunday, when you were supposed to REST
True i wish it was still that way
Obama's ruined everything
Hey
@@robert7879 wtf. They didn't. Your hatred did.
@@Cj-mj4xg how am I hateful?
Back when I was a kid before social media and cell phones, those Sunday afternoons just seemed to drag on forever. Now I sit here on a sunday and it feels like you blink on friday and the weekend is gone. I would say they were simpler times but for our parents, now that I am older, I bet they felt the same way those days that i do now.
You got it brother…
Amen brother! Church, Grandma's for lunch, play with the cousins and neighbors, church at night, dinner, shower, tv, bed. I hated that little N.C. town when I was growing up and couldn't wait to get out of there. I'd give anything now to be back there then.
Can we just go back in time to this please 😢
My favorite video of Shenandoah. Recorded in our hometown of Tuscumbia, Al. Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. Many of the buildings shown in the beginning are still around. A couple have long since been torn down or renovated but most are still the same.
One of the best songs ever
These song take me back growing up in kentucky...on sundays it was family's being together...eating and praying together I miss those memories🙏😃🙋♀️👵👴🧑👧👦👶👩
Kristal Price you sho right, all we got now is social media and fast food.
So true...Miss life when it was much simpler
I miss those days
Yes ma'am I'm in ky now. Have been all my life, man how times have changed. It hurts my soul to reminisce
Agree I grow in the 90!!! In Kentucky when no one worked on Sundays that was the rest day when it was church family 👪praying to gather. I miss those days it Krystal!!!!!
before my daddy died we sang this all the time. it brings back the memories💔
Marry me
I'm sorry for your loss 🙏
December 2024.Who's here. For Worth, Texas. This is my favorite country group of all time ! Brings so many memories ...
I remember Texas Sunday's when i was a kid. All of the family together. The women in the kitchen preparing dinner and all of the men and the kids on the front porch. The world was different back then for sure.
Popping in the Wind like a Anger CannonBall YEEYEE love this shit !!!!!!!!!!! Mine is always POPPING
AMEN BROTHER!!!! Flown PROUDLY!!!!
AMEN BROTHER YEEYEE
Same here , God bless Dixie!
Keep it flyin
2019 listing to REAL country music here

This video is a flash back to the undeniably best time in history. People and families in our country will never be the same . My heart aches with a longing for those days and the people that were in my life then.

Hello sherry,how are you doing?🌹🌹
Born 87 and raised east of Nashville TN nothing was open on Sunday and everything closed after dark unless it was a truck stop and Waffle House. I remember when Walmart and McDonalds started the 24 hr thing, SMH I’m glad I got to live it
It would have been a blessing to have grow up in times like this
It truly was. Every time I hear this song, I get so nostalgic. My mom's fried chicken, singing in church to an out-of-tune piano while sweat pours off you since there's no air conditioning, my dad loading us kids up for a Sunday afternoon drive....oh, those summer Sundays in Alabama in the 1960s. Blessed.
Oh man , that does sound good . I'm only 28 years old and I remember in the 90s and maybe early 2000$ my grandfather loved having community events , people coming in and out all day , BBQ and camp stew . No drinking no fussing just good times .
dillonsouth1 Grew up on this county and I’m so thankful for it. Country isn’t the same.
@@HEYHEY-xl9xd that's the truth
I was already out of the Army lol
As a NATIVE VIRGINIAN, this song makes me.........SO PROUD!!!
