Who’s still listening in 2023?? It’s nearing the end of 2023 here in ky and I’m still jammin the 90s. Boy was it a different time, country music will never be the same as it was then. I miss Travis and George straight, Kenny Cheney and all the others that made growing up in the 90s - 2000s a great time to be alive.. what I wouldn’t give to go back for just a little while
I grew up Country, fought like HELL to get away from it, my parents played in a Country band, I sang with them as well. I modeled, dated and scouted Rock bands. Hell, they stayed with me when they came to town... guess who never wretched ( using the Hoosier colloquiusm) out to me since then..for 5 years my house was a band crash..I am a chef and I never asked fir anything in return. Dude, was not even dating anyone involved..( yeah, yeah, ex-model, they tried..but I am not quite that stupid..a little more❤😂)
I almost lost Soulmate because of my foolish pride, drinking, and roaming eyes, but was truly Blessed by realizing my mistakes and having a forgiving wife. I realized what I had lost, along with our four beautiful little girls. The image of all four girls and my wife crying, looking at them thru the rearview mirror, will haunt me until my dying days, knowing how much I hurt them all, even so long ago. Today, we are both gray haired, she is in a wheelchair, me, a long gray beard, taking care of her and doing it with a singing heart because my entire family are together. On June 16, 2023, we celebrate our 50th! We have truly been Blessed by God because all four daughters and 12 grandkids all live within ten minutes of the wife and I. God is so Good!
One of the greatest country songs ever. Very underrated. It’s real, it’s raw, and most importantly for any art to be beautiful…it’s true. Nothing is more important than your marriage. Don’t ever give up.
This song always reminds me of my parents. They split years ago, but when this song was released, they were still together. My dad used to sing this song and realize it was true for them. I cry everytime I hear it, because his pride and alcoholism got in their way of having a beautiful marriage. For whoever reads this, fix whatever the problem is. Pride is not worth losing the love of a lifetime, and destroying your family.
Alcohol wasn't the problem. Selfishness was. When a person puts their wants over what's really important its tragic. People get into relationships any never think of the sacrifice it takes to make it work. That's why most divorce and then the rest never marry at all just go from partner to partner. I finally found my companion after all these years. It's been demanding at times. I have failed more times than I can count and I can chaulk it up to my own Selfishness and foolish pride, I've been in this relationship for more than 30 years , not sure why my love stuck around after all these years, I've lost all of my family and friends because I chose my companion over them all. , christ is God alone and I think him for the patience and his long-suffering, I'm glad he never divorced me after all I would have deserved it. Christ my heart ❤️
My daughter is 28. She didn't know that I was her father until she was 20. She and I are father and daughter and her mother has become one of my best friends. Time heals but for 20 years this song was one I always listened to. I knew my daughter was out there.
@@Leereynolds1971True.. pain makes us vulnerable ,(aware of it or not) and letting that guard down is harder for some than others, moreso obviously for those that have dealt with many endings and loss (due to a number of circumstances). Pride begets protection. Too much protection, leaves no room for love IN.. (goin through it ,pardon the ramble)
If he loses her he's lost his best friend.... Guys if this is true to you you do EVERYTHING you can to get your best friend back...I've lost my truest best friend and it still hurts
Sorry for your lost friend, I have always said " You cant think bout the present or the future, if you keep looking to the past " for the past doesn't want to be let go of, and it will try its best to kill the present or future.. It takes away ALL hope and faith. " I believe " just saying
It goes both ways. I've been wrong in my marriage and I've definitely apologize to my husband and I'm not too proud to say I'm wrong and he's the same way with me. We love each other so much.
@@styles2155 it's huge that not just you/him- Both,*of you have the ability to admit and surrender (which there's no weakness in),to the entirety of your bond. Going through it , its surreal to realize I say "sorry," for dumb and meaningless things , while I never get an apology for absence and name calling. I know he loves me, but that pride... and resistance kills a union. it hurts like hell.. Hope you and yours are well 🙏🏼♥️
So ture thank God everyday for my wife and that she knows my pride gets in our way and she will always love me and say I am sorry first so I can say that I love her and she is my angel and I am so very sorry
When you grow up watching your parents argue and not get along it is a sad scene......especially when you love the both of them and just wish they would get along then they seperate and you dont know which way to go.......i hope if you have someone in your life you get along with them and love them unconditionally because there is no reason to be so hateful to each other
I grew up with it as a small child and wanted my mom and dad to just leave each other bc I could tell they won’t happy. Thank God they finally did and I now have 2 dads. An amazing stepfather who loves my mom unconditionally and my dad is happier than ever and respects my stepdad to the max. He said if he can deal with my mom he’s a damn good man in his eyes 😂😂 I’m 28 now. So I’m glad to have 2 fathers.
I know how you feel. My mom drank & downed pills most of my life & my parents stayed married 24 years even tho they would yell the most hurtful things & my mom would threaten suicide & 1 she stabbed my dad in the stomach with a pencil and once me & her got into an argument & she slapped me in the face and i finally stood up for myself & slapped her back in her face & I'm scared that growing up in that lifestyle has been negative on my almost 9-year marriage
travis is still the best singer out there. wish he was putting out more so we would have something worth listening too.the other they call country isn't the stuff we listen too.
I'll say Amen to that, especially this song, which is my favorite by him. When I learned that Don McLean's song "Empty Chairs" was the catalyst for "Killing Me Softly", I got to thinking that each one of us no doubt has their own song that has that kind of affect for them. This is the one that has it for me, as I was in a like situation at the time this song was on the charts. I am also a song lyricist myself, and one of the pieces I came up with was titled "Play Foolish Pride for Me".
When me and my husband were dating we fought pretty hard at times. But one or the other would always call each other back. Usually it was my husband then boyfriend calling me back. Today we've been married 14 years. We no longer fight like that anymore, and I have realized what a wonderful man I have. He is always usually the first one to say let's not be mad at each other anymore. I have gotten a lot better over the years and would do anything for this man now and love and trust him deeply.
When you're been through enough wrongs and you come to the end close the book try to forgive I believe that love is enough to heal all wounds that's to love and be loved in return ❤️
I’ve been a Travis tritt fan for my 41 years. I’ve been through relationships, one night stands, and then some. Been with my wife for 12 years and 4 perfect daughters and I e dealt with only the purpose of the provider and not the daddy. My wife is the epitome of conniving, sabotage, and self serving narcissistic behavior. I’ve stayed at the expense of my own happiness. My foolish pride is that I love her and them unconditionally! And I just keep on going through hell. I’ve spoke my mind, I’ve walked out for a couple days here and there, I’ve made my complaints very much clear. Yet my wife continues to make excuses, make consequential decisions and ultimately make our lives worse than the day before on a regular basis. I love this song because it’s about foolish pride. It’s not always the man that is foolish but the man that allows his wife and kids to remain in foolish pride. In fact, that makes me a fool to stand by and watch the foolishness. This isn’t depression, but unhappiness and confusion and fear. I know exactly what I need to do but my foolish pride tells me to stay, ride it out, and forgive them. And I do, but resentment lays prevalent daily! How can I swallow my pride and take a beating day after day and still genuinely love, smile, provide, shut my mouth and say nothing but I love you. That’s gods work and his gift is to bestow that kinda love within our hearts. But even God resents us. That’s why we repent and ask for forgiveness and confess our sins. If she and my kids could just repent and say sorry and express their love that they claim for me, it would relieve a burden of anguish, resentment, and anger that I have overflowing in my life! I don’t have an extra moment in life to really express my feelings in a positive light. Yet it’s so easy to just be grateful and thankful for my life. I’d never violate my family, or myself but I can make life miserable for all of us just by doing what I should. Chalk another heartbreak up to foolish pride! That shit don’t get any more real regardless! While the bridges burn, another hard lesson learned! As in the ashes’ passion slowly dies… this romance goes down to foolish pride! Chalk another heartbreak up to foolish pride!
I was in your same spot a few years back. I felt myself becoming jaded and bitter. And I DID NOT want that! I had to do three things. I spoke to my child, only to find that he saw the same things that I did, and in his youthful wisdom , he asked me , "Why do you stay with someone who's only purpose in life is to see others as bitter and unhappy as he is?" Then I had to forgive myself. I realized that i didn't have a marriage, I was a servant to his will and temper. I walked on eggshells so as to keep the peace. I lost faith in love. But i had to come to the realization that I couldn't expect someone to love me when i didn't love myself enough to stand up for myself and my needs. I forgave myself for settling for the scraps of affection that I thought i deserved. I made a conscious decision as to whether or not I would be happy again or exist in misery. I was in the hospital with heart issues and he walked into my room and said, "I think I want to make this separation permanent. " I said to him," NOW! You feel the need to say this NOW?" Well the day I was discharged home , I made his favorite meal and when I asked if it was OK, he barked at me, "What ? Do you want a F---ing medal for cooking? A switch flipped in my brain and ever so calmly , I said "I would rather live in a cardboard box on the side of the road , than to spend another day with someone who so clearly has no love or care for my well being or feelings." It was the best decision I ever made. My son and I were so much more at peace on our own. I found my Joy again. I am a much more contented and happier person. I have found someone who showed me what love is supposed to be. I stayed too long in an unhappy space and the fear of starting over with someone new kept me in a prison of pain and resentment. Now, I'm free and happier. Your girls see your pain, and will rejoice in your lighter heart when you are free of your own chains. Only You can make you happy. And when you find your own happiness . you will find the right person to share it with. Much love to you, brother.
Everytime I listen to this song I can't help to feel like I let the only one that has ever meant to me get away. I miss him more than anything & it's been going on four yrs. now. He will always be in my heart. :(
They say if it’s meant to be..they’ll come back around at some point and time in your life…I know it’s been 10 years since you made this comment. I’m just wondering if you all ever got back together…???
Pride can make you lose a lot if Yu don't speak your peace. How do you really deal with a person that's to prideful to admit there wrong and just say there sorry and explain. I think there's to many that don't really see were there wrong or care I use to not prayers for truth and to release the fact of closesure on life spent not forgotten but remember and some enjoyed lesson learned on my mistakes but know word on posted words . I love you lord I'm me and never forget that prayers for that one and sending love for lessons in life.
Your the only one I've never skipped a song every one tells my life sometimes I think I deserve royalties lol like you know love you Travis your the goat in my eyes
this song means a lot to me. in 2002 at the age of 22 i lost my marriage to the woman i had been with since we were 16. our marriage ended because i was too proud to own up to the mistakes i had made. and after she left she didnt want to call me becauses she thought i wouldnt learn from what i had done. this song and my story just goes to show no matter what the problem. it cant be solved if you cant communicate
Sometimes it's not always one person ! One person can't do all the work but living with a narcissist for 20 years it's never their fault. I love my girls so much and it kills me that he walks around with smile behind his mask
Ppl make the 'EASIEST' and 'SIMPLEST' things that matter the most in life so....hrd and difficult ❤Being the biggest person shows maturity, integrity. Don't b the foolish person.
This song is sooo true. People need to learn to communicate their feelings and control their emotions. In the end if it’s real love it’ll always work out!❤❤
I've seen Travis Tritt in concert three times over the years each time is better than the last. By far one of my favorite singers and this song I just love
my husband and i were going through some hard times. our youngest son, Cried and ask us to listen to this song. i love this song. And thanks to God we work everything out.
truth from my man Travis. Sometimes you would do anything to make them stay short of begging (sometimes even then) you just don't know what it would take to make them stay, sometimes they don't know either because nobody talks about how they feel or they don't know how they feel & are too scared to say
I cry every time i hear this song and it's all because of one woman that i can never get back in my life ever again and i will always blame myself for that.
+Sarah Yocham it's been a year for me now and not a day goes by that I don't think about her. I closed off since I left her no dating no sleeping with anyone.
+Sarah Yocham yeah same here leaving my last love made me close off my feelings. I have no interest in dating or relationships now. Anytime a woman shows the slightest interest I chase them off fast.
I have to thank Travis for this song. Everytime me and my late wife would get into a bad argument, this song would play in my head and remind me she was far more important to me than my foolish pride could ever have been. I would be the one to break the silence and get us talking.
Way to many .we gotta stop n think ...sometimes reacting is just what is wanted ...from the begining .not given glory to something takes away their power ...but sometimes it hurts u more in the end .u gotta just keep ya head up n be there its all u can do .be there .its what matters most anyway more than anything ...n never go away again.
I've seen many country performances in my years and his is one the best! I have seen him several times and his voice and his songs are are great. It never gets old hearing them.His acoustical performances are fantastic.
Relationships end for many reasons. I believe Foolish Pride may be one of the most painful reasons though. Probably because by the time you realized the reason was Foolish Pride the relationship had ended. And living with "what might have been" last forever.
Well Val this song couldn't have said it any better,its been about 20 years and there's not a day i dont think about what should have been.God i miss you
Man this song hits home on so many different levels with relationships,too much pride to let someone know that you really love them, you just assume walk away when you could save something so special, neither one of you willing to budge so sad,one of my favorite songs of all time
Pride is one of the deadly sins
Who’s still listening in 2023?? It’s nearing the end of 2023 here in ky and I’m still jammin the 90s. Boy was it a different time, country music will never be the same as it was then.

Listening in 2024
I have tickets to see him in eastern North Carolina on Saturday night! By all means one of the greatest.
You say the same goofy shit on every video while contributing absolutely nothing to the conversation about music genius.

What a lucky man you are!
Me too. I am Sorry
God is good indeed! Praise Jesus! Thanks for sharing brother
Me too. I loved her. Now in a marriage I don't want to be in anymore
Thanks for your testimony! I just sent this to my gf, we are struggling and the end is near.
Most underrated voice in country music. 90s music was the best.
Thank you for your continuous love and support Justin ❤❤❤
For how long have you been a fan of mine ( Justin Spliedt)
Dang right! I’m so glad I grew up in the 90s! Hands down best music in all genres!
Pride really is a foolish thing…keeps people apart when who knows what could have been….
One of the greatest country songs ever. Very underrated. It’s real, it’s raw, and most importantly for any art to be beautiful…it’s true. Nothing is more important than your marriage. Don’t ever give up.

You are still right 10 years later. Hope all is well
I'm sorry 😞
Alcohol ruined my relationship with my TRUE LOVE
Same here
Alcohol wasn't the problem. Selfishness was. When a person puts their wants over what's really important its tragic. People get into relationships any never think of the sacrifice it takes to make it work. That's why most divorce and then the rest never marry at all just go from partner to partner. I finally found my companion after all these years. It's been demanding at times. I have failed more times than I can count and I can chaulk it up to my own Selfishness and foolish pride, I've been in this relationship for more than 30 years , not sure why my love stuck around after all these years, I've lost all of my family and friends because I chose my companion over them all. , christ is God alone and I think him for the patience and his long-suffering, I'm glad he never divorced me after all I would have deserved it. Christ my heart ❤️
This man comes from legends.. HE SINGS THE TRUTH
Travis in '25 still as good as ever❤❤❤
He just has one of those unmistakable country music voices!
Well done Travis on a fantastic career so far!
I Know Someone Who has the Most Of Foolish Pride that i have seen Anyone hold. But its Even Says in The Bible, Pride Goeth Before A Fall.
This song gives me chills.i remember the very first time I listen to jeff bates song on utube,his so amazing 👏
Where are you listening from...?
My daughter is 28. She didn't know that I was her father until she was 20. She and I are father and daughter and her mother has become one of my best friends. Time heals but for 20 years this song was one I always listened to. I knew my daughter was out there.
This is one of the most truthful most beautiful songs ever written and nobody could perform it better than Travis just his emotion makes this song
I'm glad I'm out that craziness. That God set me spiritually free! I'm grateful to Him.
Thank you for your continuous love and support Diane ❤️❤️❤️
For how long have you been a fan of mine (Dianehayse)
One of the most underrated country singers, Travis is one, of the best 💖
I agree
🔥
Pride is such a hard thing to deal with. Love should conquer everything.
Totally agree 💯🙏
It’s hard to have open honest communication. More so when everyone is hurting. That’s when foolish pride steps in. This is my experience.
@@Leereynolds1971True.. pain makes us vulnerable ,(aware of it or not) and letting that guard down is harder for some than others, moreso obviously for those that have dealt with many endings and loss (due to a number of circumstances).

You are right Chris 💋
It's one of the seven deadly sins.😢
Foolish Pride……. The #1 killer of relationships. This song hits deep in my soul. 😢
If he loses her he's lost his best friend.... Guys if this is true to you you do EVERYTHING you can to get your best friend back...I've lost my truest best friend and it still hurts

How do you know you've lost her? Go find her or let her find you
It hurts when you love someone and you didn't mean anything to them
Foolish mistakes mess up more lives than people ever realise
Pride always comes before a fall, one you regret for the rest of your life
Travis Tritt was a great country singer
october 2024. ............ cant replace grea music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Travis Tritt is a great American patriot.
Sometimes being right is not worth it you still lose and I've punched alot of walls because I was right
deep down in all of us you know he speaks the truth because foolish pride has affected us at more then one time i n our lifes
So ture thank God everyday for my wife and that she knows my pride gets in our way and she will always love me and say I am sorry first so I can say that I love her and she is my angel and I am so very sorry
Not that deep down
I know he did mine 💔🙏‼️
Yes. Foolish pride is effecting my relationship
Amen
I miss music like this so much

When you grow up watching your parents argue and not get along it is a sad scene......especially when you love the both of them and just wish they would get along then they seperate and you dont know which way to go.......i hope if you have someone in your life you get along with them and love them unconditionally because there is no reason to be so hateful to each other
Kenneth Brace I grew up with that..I agree with you %100.
I grew up with it as a small child and wanted my mom and dad to just leave each other bc I could tell they won’t happy. Thank God they finally did and I now have 2 dads. An amazing stepfather who loves my mom unconditionally and my dad is happier than ever and respects my stepdad to the max. He said if he can deal with my mom he’s a damn good man in his eyes 😂😂 I’m 28 now. So I’m glad to have 2 fathers.
I felt this
Me n my ex wife do not speak anymore.when we did argument n viololient started.
I know how you feel. My mom drank & downed pills most of my life & my parents stayed married 24 years even tho they would yell the most hurtful things & my mom would threaten suicide & 1 she stabbed my dad in the stomach with a pencil and once me & her got into an argument & she slapped me in the face and i finally stood up for myself & slapped her back in her face & I'm scared that growing up in that lifestyle has been negative on my almost 9-year marriage

Brings back so many memories
There is no pride when comes to a beautiful woman. I thank god every day for mine
You are right babe.
Pride has ruin many relationship
I hope I get a good reply
This song is so true and can be personal for someone who is in the middle of loosing their mind
Forgive and forget is what you need to do! Don't let your stubborn pride get in the way.
One of my favourite Travis songs, a true country legend
Pride is so hard to overcome

I have found someone who showed me what love is supposed to be. I stayed too long in an unhappy space and the fear of starting over with someone new kept me in a prison of pain and resentment. Now, I'm free and happier. Your girls see your pain, and will rejoice in your lighter heart when you are free of your own chains. Only You can make you happy. And when you find your own happiness . you will find the right person to share it with. Much love to you, brother.
Message is still the same in 2024 October. Travis Tritt- Great Song
Everytime I listen to this song I can't help to feel like I let the only one that has ever meant to me get away. I miss him more than anything & it's been going on four yrs. now. He will always be in my heart. :(
They say if it’s meant to be..they’ll come back around at some point and time in your life…I know it’s been 10 years since you made this comment. I’m just wondering if you all ever got back together…???
This song gives me chills.i remember the very first time I listen to jeff bates song on utube,his so amazing 👏
Where are you listening from...?
Wonder how many marriages this song has saved.
Mine for one
Or sadly explained.
I wonder how many hearts it's broken as well.
Turn out the lights. The competition’s over. Saddest part of a breakup…
Pride can make you lose a lot if Yu don't speak your peace. How do you really deal with a person that's to prideful to admit there wrong and just say there sorry and explain. I think there's to many that don't really see were there wrong or care I use to not prayers for truth and to release the fact of closesure on life spent not forgotten but remember and some enjoyed lesson learned on my mistakes but know word on posted words . I love you lord I'm me and never forget that prayers for that one and sending love for lessons in life.
this song is beautiful he tells it like it is...
Beautiful song I always loved him so much. Never got the credit he deserved! One of the BEST I am lucky to have seen him in concert!
Travis tritt has always and will always be my fav country singer. Love all his music!! ❤❤❤
This is when country was country still one of the best artists ever........
sweetheart
I miss the 80’s and 90’s country.
I used to listen to so I worked on the shop and get greasy and dirtythat's how I learned how to be in a relationship before ever meeting anybody
Irestore tractors and cars well that is at work
I worked on these things while Dad was at work
This is why God tells us that pride is sinful..People allow pride to to ruin lives, including their own..
betty a. roth amen
I'm not religious, but that makes so much sense.
Especially their own. Pride destroys from within.
A classic 90's country song, and one of my favorite Travis Tritt song.
Hello friend! I can see you do love he songs very much. How is everything over there with you!
Foolish pride has destoyed our chancce happiness
It’s sad this song only has 4 million views I should be at least 50 or 100
Goals of what not to do this time around. 2022 and this song still rips my heart out and gives me chills at the end.
Your the only one I've never skipped a song every one tells my life sometimes I think I deserve royalties lol like you know love you Travis your the goat in my eyes
One of the greatest country songs has a lot of meaning behind it
He comes from legends .. I 58 HE IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH NOW..HELP ME HOLD ON ..
Travis, you sure look good as a ghost!!!! but then, you always look great :) :) :)
I love this song
this song means a lot to me. in 2002 at the age of 22 i lost my marriage to the woman i had been with since we were 16. our marriage ended because i was too proud to own up to the mistakes i had made. and after she left she didnt want to call me becauses she thought i wouldnt learn from what i had done. this song and my story just goes to show no matter what the problem. it cant be solved if you cant communicate
@jessica Hey Jess, I know you're ignoring me
@@yelizaveta1278wow shit got real.
And be able and willing to listen and communicate.
Sometimes it's not always one person ! One person can't do all the work but living with a narcissist for 20 years it's never their fault. I love my girls so much and it kills me that he walks around with smile behind his mask
True man I hope you both can work it out
I AM SO PROUD I AM 58 YOU BEING A GENERATION CURSE COUNTRY SINGER THANK YOU
Such a beautiful song and well written!!
And while the bridges burn another hard hard lesson's learned.
Thank you for your continuous love and support Kirk ❤️❤️❤️
For how long have you been a fan of mine (Kirk Hager)
God help me, I miss this country music so bad...
Ppl make the 'EASIEST' and 'SIMPLEST' things that matter the most in life so....hrd and difficult ❤Being the biggest person shows maturity, integrity. Don't b the foolish person.
Hello friend! I can see you do love he songs very much. How is everything over there with you!
This is Connie lov this video and song it’s great Travis lov ya
Pride the #1 killer of good relationships..
Why couldn't these two people who are very dear to me have heard this 20 years ago. They might still be together. ♥
This song is sooo true. People need to learn to communicate their feelings and control their emotions. In the end if it’s real love it’ll always work out!❤❤
Travis Tritt has some of the best videos I've ever seen ! They tell a story and you get wrapped up in them ! Awesome singer and performer

Travis Tritt is good singer
I've seen Travis Tritt in concert three times over the years each time is better than the last. By far one of my favorite singers and this song I just love
my husband and i were going through some hard times. our youngest son, Cried and ask us to listen to this song. i love this song. And thanks to God we work everything out.
God bless your son! He was wiser than you both!
Hello friend! I can see you do love he songs very much. How is everything over there with you!
Thanks for your continues love❤️ and support,that’s what keeps me going
How long have you been a fan of mine?
Your son I'm guessing is wise beyond his years
truth from my man Travis. Sometimes you would do anything to make them stay short of begging (sometimes even then) you just don't know what it would take to make them stay, sometimes they don't know either because nobody talks about how they feel or they don't know how they feel & are too scared to say
Janine Co
I cry every time i hear this song and it's all because of one woman that i can never get back in my life ever again and i will always blame myself for that.
+Sarah Yocham yeah I'm still haunted by the one I left but she moved on and I'm the foolish one ended up left behind. You live and learn from regret.
+Sarah Yocham it's been a year for me now and not a day goes by that I don't think about her. I closed off since I left her no dating no sleeping with anyone.
+Sarah Yocham yeah same here leaving my last love made me close off my feelings. I have no interest in dating or relationships now. Anytime a woman shows the slightest interest I chase them off fast.
Agreed..
@@DarkWolf-et3dx it's been 5 years since you left a comment here. I hope you are happy and in love with someone. Because being alone is no good!
Becareful what u say to people when your mad you may not mean it but it can lead to a life of heartache and saying sorry can't always fix it
Gilbert Moore
Very true words. ...once it's said you can't take it back
I've heard sorry from my bf so much, the words mean absolutely nothing to me anymore.
Gilbert Moore Yes, absolutely!!!! They will NVR 4get wht was said. We must choose r words wisely. Yes, words can't b taken bk.
Exactly once you say it you can't take back, in forgiven over the years but never forget but it's all coming back again. Can't do it anymore
Don’t let love slip away due to foolish pride!!!! Beautiful song!! Travis you play an angel so well😊😊😊
Pride is one reason i lose relationships.......
Take us back to the 90s please!
remember when songs had meaning
4thGloryMonday a page from someone's life
Yes I do back then it was so great don't sound like country music no more
Yes I believe that to Beautiful song
Pride has ruined so many relationships,, Travis is a favourite singer of mine for many years now,,,👌
Hello friend! I can see you do love he songs very much. How is everything over there with you!
@@robbytomors8352 ciao Robby! 🙋♀️😊😍😘💘
I have to thank Travis for this song. Everytime me and my late wife would get into a bad argument, this song would play in my head and remind me she was far more important to me than my foolish pride could ever have been. I would be the one to break the silence and get us talking.
To many people lose their lover, best friend just because of their pride
Way to many .we gotta stop n think ...sometimes reacting is just what is wanted ...from the begining .not given glory to something takes away their power ...but sometimes it hurts u more in the end .u gotta just keep ya head up n be there its all u can do .be there .its what matters most anyway more than anything ...n never go away again.
Very True...Sadly
I totally agree! 👍
No pride in true love... that statement to me sounds like lost opportunity
You are SO RIGHT Christie
I've seen many country performances in my years and his is one the best! I have seen him several times and his voice and his songs are are great. It never gets old hearing them.His acoustical performances are fantastic.
Relationships end for many reasons. I believe Foolish Pride may be one of the most painful reasons though. Probably because by the time you realized the reason was Foolish Pride the relationship had ended. And living with "what might have been" last forever.
Hello Shelley.. how are you doing?
Thank you for your continuous love and support Shelley ❤️❤️❤️
For how long have you been a fan of mine (Shelley Smith)

How do you manage to beat pride ?
I hope I get a good reply
Man this song hits home on so many different levels with relationships,too much pride to let someone know that you really love them, you just assume walk away when you could save something so special, neither one of you willing to budge so sad,one of my favorite songs of all time
