Another excellent song written by the legendary team of Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz, and Lionel sings it so well. An underrated gem from the late 80s-early 90s golden era! I really wish Lionel's first album was on Spotify! (Along with his 1991 album, Chasin' The Sun)
The lyrics to this song speak to the hearts of parent/child relationships. The family unit is the core from where culture springs. The importance of what these lyrics try to say can not be overstated.
Yes, I remember Lionel Cartwright. This is my favorite song by this artist. The words in this song are true. That's the element that's missing from todays so-called "Country Music". ...truth. ...believe it, or not.
Lionel hit #14 in Billboard, 5-13-89. God bless you, brother Lionel! Thanx, friend, for postin' it. Couldn't agree more! 'Country' instrumentation DESPERATELY needs to come back!
I know. Those two albums contain some of Lionel's biggest and most well known hits, too. Major record labels have been strangely slow/disinterested in adding older music to streaming sites. A lot of Shenandoah's music is still missing, as well.
Thank you so very much for posting this song, I've been looking for it forever. I remember it well from my teenage years. Thanks again and thank you for trying to save country music.
Real Country Music has sadly disappeared. Thank you for posting this again. A few suggestions perhaps. Ed Bruce and Vern Gosdin come to mind as well. Toss in Gene Watson & T Graham Brown and thats a great start.

Amen
Brings back memories of me of me and of a friend on mine cruising the highways in 1989. Miss those days terribly.
Awesome song. Great message. Thanks for posting.
This album and "Chasing The Sun" are unavailable for listening online. That in beyond my understanding.

If Cole Swendell or Luke Bryant recorded this today it would skyrocket to #1
ttmrsuch1 They can't record good music.
They couldn't hold a candle to this man
If either of them recorded it, it would be terrible. There isn't any autotune in this.
their not country
