It's ok honey girl. I'm 68 years old, been a B&D fan since they began. I've heard this song over a hundred times, and I still tear up when I hear it again. I fully get where your heart is, because mine is there too. Merry Christmas from Texas!
Aww... I cry every single time I hear this song, and I've known it for years. The unwavering faith in this song gets me. His voice really does it for me. You all should check out the live performance from the CMAs with Jelly Roll. It was great!
Sometimes tears show that we are still alive. I'm in my 70's, retired. When I was young, my Grandpa had a new scientific trinket to teach us all about science every time we visited. He had grape arbors and an oasis of trees around his house in the desert. He taught me to spin a top. That top, with it's string still wound, sits on my mantle today. It sits beside my uncle's pocketknife that he gave me on my 8th birthday. My Grandma had died before I was born. He lived a simple life alone with his scientific magazines. He died when I was in college. I cried, I stood at the window and just looked out. It was mostly my loss of someone who could listen and offer advice. This song just rips at my heart. It's OK to cry.
I volunteered at a nursing home when I was in Jr. High. That and karate, motocross and racing carts and bikes kept me busy. At the end of the day though, I always looked forward to seeing the elderly the most. Painting their nails, brushing their hair or just sit and hold hands and talking....what a wonderful resource these people are and how few realize it. I adore your wife so much. She's good people and you're a lucky man. She's raising the next generation with you!
You hit the nail on the head when you were talking about the older generation. I guess we just want you all to see what we've seen and be touched by what touched us that may be hidden with the passage of time. Our children and grandchildren are kind and loving but have other things to accomplish. They try to stay attentive to us but they have their own lives. These reaction channels that I follow have done me so much good. Just to watch you all react to music and other things that shaped a generation. Thank you
Anybody who listens to this song and doesn't cry at least a little bit doesn't have a heart. Tears in response to a story of friendship, loss and faith are beautiful and cleansing.
@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 As Clark Gable once said, "Frankly Scarlet I don't give a Damn". Nor should you t.a.k. 'Palfrey3882, does it Really matter to you what an older person says that isn't PC in this 'F' ed up world we live in these days. My Wifey passed a long time ago and I still miss her, would miss your other half or is it the other two third's? Geez!
This has always been my favorite Brooks and Dunn song! I chose it for my dad’s funeral. He passed just 3 weeks after my mom and from the moment she passed he talked about how he believed that he’d see her again soon. I felt that it was the perfect song to honor that belief.💔
I'm 59 now and wishing I had a way of capturing the stories of the family the elders would tell when I was a kid. Now they're all gone and I have pictures of people I don't know nor their stories of their lives. We have the technology to capture all of that for the future generations to watch/listen and learn their own history
I am almost 70 and one of the reasons I enjoy these reactions in general and this guy in particular is it feels like our older music has been rediscovered and is not going the way of the dinosaurs! It is fun to watch our music & video being appreciated. Maybe that part of us will live on!
@markwatson450 that's why l love watching reaction videos of songs I grew up with in the 60s, 70s, and 80s! Watching the younger generation discovering that big hit they're listening to are actually covers of the artists that performed them during our time!
This song makes me cry every time. A beautiful song! I was blessed to to have known all four of my grandparents and 1 great-grandmother. I miss them all now and love the time I got to spend with them. Precious memories of them all..........God Bless.....Merry Christmas.
You are blessed for sure!! You have a beautiful family! Thanks for sharing them with us. I am 66 years old. I think interviewing older people would be interesting to listen to. We need to pass the torch that keeps our way of life burning 🔥 ❤
I was touched by the comment about a channel for interviewing the elderly... As a retired Paramedic, there were so many opportunities to sit and listen to stories from the greatest Generation while en-route from one hospital to another, or from their home to a hospital.... Simple questions can lead to extended tales, and many of those tales are no longer with us.... What a Beautiful idea.... but be ready, many of them have a lifetime of stories to share....
The power of music to move the soul is a great gift to mankind...from what your wife said about her grandpa I'm sure he's wrapping a big hug around her during this reaction🤗🤗🤗....your thoughts on sitting with the older folks to listen to their well earned wisdom is inspiring...wishing you ...hope..happiness and peace through the holiday season...Karl from eastern Canada..🎄☮
I'm almost 60, I choke up every single time. No shame in tears. I've seem B&D many times. Easily top 3 of any live performance, any genre I have ever seen. Another one the shows off Ronnie Dunn's vocal chops is their cover of My Maria no tears on that one
Your wife is always a fantastic addition to the show . I was feeling your tight thought and your wife’s tears. I broke a couple times but was able to reel it in without loosing it . Awesome show .
Cry if you have to 😢 Tears are healing ! I know I have cried more then my share over the tragic loss of my beautiful husband just 3 yrs ago MISS YOU TERRIBLY ANTHONY 💔❣️🫂
Growing up I knew a man like this - his name was uncle Alvie to me and my best friend. His wife had passed on and he lived alone. Me and my best friend went to his house a few days every week. He would be sitting on his front porch swing and the stories he told I will never forget. RIP Uncle Alvie.
The greater the love the greater the pain. I would rather have had someone in my life and lost them than to never have had them at all words of wisdom from this 76 year old woman. You and your wife are lovely. Listen to you all the time
I met a lovely lady in Ft. Lauderdale as a teen. She was a diplomat's daughter and spoke 7 languages. She spoke a lot about conducting yourself as a lady. I think about her often. Her name was Victoria Ford. Such a lovely human.
When I was 9 years old an old man used to sit on his porch in the summertime, I used to go over by him and talk to him. He was so happy to have company that he would cut off one of his flowers and to ld me to give it to my mother because she raised such a good little boy. I really didnt understand at the time but as a grew older it was simply because I stopped to talk to him as he must have just loved that I acknowledged him. This was back in the early 70s and I will never forget him 😌💗
I have heard this song 100's of times and I still cry! I used to volunteer in a nursing home when I was in jr. high and high school. I would read to residents, visit with them, and learned to play poker . My grandparents were married later in life and my grandma had my mom when she was 40 years old. I thankfully had my grandpa until I was 24 years old, and my grandmother until I was 32 years old. She lived a nice long life. I wish I would have asked more questions about growing up in the early 1900's, the great depression, etc. She remembered when the Titanic sunk, and we talked about that when the movie came out. We moved away, when I was little, so visitation was typically summers and holidays. I miss them every single day!! I think I am going to volunteer at one of my local nursing homes. It was so rewarding. Great reaction!! Thank you!!
Ok, I always tear up at this song, but with your lady doing the same thing I am going to have to stop only a few minutes in. I had to stop before the end just have been to emotional lately to do this. The best to you both.
I've know B&D since the 80's as a teenager.. My oldest son wanted to have a party for his 5th birthday.. Boot Scootin Boogie...Country themed party. My goodness.. he'll be 37 in March.. Neon Moon came out around the same time.. Neon Moon was my favorite song of theirs for decades.. till I heard this one about 2 yrs ago.. I cry every time I hear it.. facts. I love this song so much.. And to know that Ronnie wrote this from his childhood makes it even better.
Each and every time I hear his song, This old Marine tears up. Sniff sniff.. The words ring so true. And the fact that the lyrics are from Ronnie's life growing up and a true story.
I was 13 when I first heard this song. I was standing in line to say goodbye to one of my best friends who had passed away. This song breaks me every time. I never skip the song, and I never will. This song and ‘go rest high on that mountain’ by Vince Gill
I understand how she feels. I lost my grandpa back in 2007. We were with him at the very end. He was a World War II veteran, and as she said, the best man I've ever known. He would tell us all these stories, some of them it seemed like 200 times, but I'd give a lot to hear him tell them all again. I was a friend to quite a few old timers, if you'll pardon the expression. Hard working, old roughneck people. They were good and I learned a lot. They became family to me. The last one of them left in 2022, and it still breaks me up to think about it. Cherish it while you got it, because it goes by way too damn fast. It doesn't matter how many years you have with them, it'll never seem like enough.
It's okay to cry, honey. I'm almost 70 years old, and this video touched me, too. The final part really touched my heart as it was almost identical to my husband's funeral procession 18 years ago in our small Texas Hill Country town. I believe that I will see him again. That's what keeps one going.
Great song with meaning. Maybe show her Vince Gill/Carrie Underwood with How Great Thou Art or Vince Gill with Go Rest High On That Mountain. On your own, go watch Jelly Roll do this with Brooks & Dunn on the CMA show from a few weeks ago. A live version that moved much of the crowd there. Appreciate you, sir.
This is beautiful. I’ve been a BND fan for a long time and I haven’t heard this. Another song for dear Wifey, who has such a big ol’ heart, is the John Prine (master songwriter) song, “Hello in There”. I cried when John Prine died. I miss his love of music and songwriting. He knew the human heart and translated that to music.
Girl, it gets me every time! His voice combined with the story. Tears just show that you care, that is the way that I look at it. Merry Christmas to your family and have a great New Year!
Have loved them from the start. 70year old woman here hoping I leave good memories behind. It is Christmas day, I am alone even though I have two children and six grandchildren. I can't WAIT to "go home"!
Your wife is absolutely wonderful. So precious. Here's two country songs that get to me every time. Whew. I cry like a baby every single time I hear them. Kathy Mattea - "Where've You Been?" Colin Rae - "Love Me (If You Get There Before I Do)"
Just imagine if someone had the ability to connect with a large number of our remaining silent generation and older baby boomers and could tell their stories in their own words here on RUclips? That would be an amazing channel to watch and learn from! I'm just thinking of the stories my great grandfather told me about growing up in 19 teens and twenties in the south! The world has changed so much since then!
Your wife is precious. I have a soft heart also & have been made fun of plenty of times for crying during movies, a news segment etc lol. This song is hard! Such a beautiful reaction
Funny story: When I graduated high school, I went to my grandparents' house for a couple of weeks, as I had done every summer. I was sitting outside having a few beers with my Papaw when he started tearing up. Now I have to stop and point out that my Papaw was 6'8, 285lbs and raised in the Church of Christ. I asked what was wrong, and this is what he said; son it has been a pleasure watching you grow into a fine young man it just pains me to think that we won't be together in heaven. I asked him why he felt that way and he said, " he'll, your parents raised you Baptist". I just laughed and told him, " don't you worry, papaw when my time comes, you will be the first one I look for."
You definitely have to show her "Monsters". It will make her cry, but it's good to have those emotions...because you saw the memory it brought back right afterwards. Wifey talking about him going and get the family records when he met you. Lol and she laughed. That genuine, pure laugh. THAT'S what life is all about. Yes there's sadness, but there's laughter too. Please keep doing reactions with your wife. Your dynamic is so sweet. Another great reaction!
RED DIRT ROAD... is the BEST Brooks & Dunn song! I'm sure the wifey knows that song! You would LOVE that song BP, I promise you will! 1000% it goes on the forever playlist!
Ronny Dunn's voice is absolutely gorgeous - especially on this song. The emotion and truth in the lyrics being sung like he sang them absolute gutted me. What a beautiful song and video.
I walked 2 miles a few times a day to an old farmer’s house because of a dare .. they said he was the devil.. and a mean man .. turned out he was a very kind man and thoughtful beyond belief.. but. He looked ragged and weathered like an old farmer that got beaten Thu hell with loss of wife kids and just needed comfort.. he taught me so much ..
Ronnie Dunn's powerful ability to pour his emotion into the song and especially the message of Hope because of what the Lord Jesus did for us. If you come to tears not because of the sadness of what the song is about, but the message that Old Man Rigley could deal with the death of his wife and baby because he knew he would be re-united with them in Heaven for Eternity. Those are tears of joy from being moved by the Holy Spirit, which is your connection to Almighty God through faith in His Son Yeshua Jesus the Messiah, Amen
Loved meeting you. I’m a 68 old country woman raised in Mississippi. And I was really excited about the old folk interviews. I have Recently met an old 92 year old man that walkes all bent over and I sat down with him and he was a WWII vet then he had worked with NASA. And was on the work with John Glen. So much history that who would have ever thought of someone in bowtown South Georgia. And at 68 being a farm woman. I can tell you all about farming to skydiving - baling hay - motorcycle rides speeds up to 153 - semi truck driving - wielding -but don’t ask about dressing up -my dressing up was Rodeo style - not going to proms- but bull riding in the back plaster on Sunday afternoons - knowing I was gonna get in trouble with my dad. But the excitement of riding bulls with my brothers was worth the belting from Daddy.
MAN!! This song gets me. I usually shed a tear at the end. Not until he runs from the funeral to the house. Your wife had me crying with her 30 seconds in.
My grandfather had cancer & my father frequently drove him to the hospital 150 miles away for treatment. My dad had needed someone to go with him to keep him awake during the drive in case my grandfather had to remain in hospital. I was terrified of my large, gruff voiced grandfather & was unhappy that task fell to me. One visit to my hospitalized grandfather I had noticed my grandparents walking the hall & holding hands like young lovers. I commented on this to my grandfather when he was discharged & we were driving home. My grandfather commented on his love for his family & the appreciation he had for my father & me for our support in his journey. He had known for some time I was unhappy with my role in his journey for treatment & my fear of him. We talked so much on that trip & somewhere I realized that he was such a good loving person. After that trip I begged my dad to take me with him so I could spend more time with grandpa. He died when I was 12.
Man this song gets me....there was an old man that lived down the road from me when I was a kid. Old rancher...didn't have any family left, but he was family to us. I cried for days when he passed. And tear up every time I think about it. That was 35 years ago and I can see him as clear as a picture in my mind. Thank you for doing this song....thank you
Yeah it’s a great song and visual. Master class level. I’m fairly confident anything with a heart instead of a thumping gizzard gets it. Some say this “country music” lol. This is humanity music
Hey Wifey, love seeing your gorgeous face again. I lost my grandmother November 2 so I was crying with you. From one Georgia girl to another…Go Dawgs! ♥️
I hadn’t heard this for so long…brought me tears….life is filled with emotions and the memories connected….Jesus hold me I love you and my family you’re with !

It's ok honey girl. I'm 68 years old, been a B&D fan since they began. I've heard this song over a hundred times, and I still tear up when I hear it again. I fully get where your heart is, because mine is there too. Merry Christmas from Texas!
Ditto from a 67yo man.
Ditto ❤ 61
Ditto on age and reaction.
Ditto from a 65 yo in South Carolina

Aww... I cry every single time I hear this song, and I've known it for years. The unwavering faith in this song gets me. His voice really does it for me. You all should check out the live performance from the CMAs with Jelly Roll. It was great!
This is such a powerful song
Me too 😭 every time
I hated Jelly Roll's rendition. Nobody should sing this song other than Ronnie Dunn!
Just watched that video, awesome!
Wifey crying made me cry give her lots of hugs after this reaction
Sometimes tears show that we are still alive. I'm in my 70's, retired. When I was young, my Grandpa had a new scientific trinket to teach us all about science every time we visited. He had grape arbors and an oasis of trees around his house in the desert. He taught me to spin a top. That top, with it's string still wound, sits on my mantle today. It sits beside my uncle's pocketknife that he gave me on my 8th birthday. My Grandma had died before I was born. He lived a simple life alone with his scientific magazines. He died when I was in college. I cried, I stood at the window and just looked out. It was mostly my loss of someone who could listen and offer advice. This song just rips at my heart. It's OK to cry.
Wow. What great memories ❤
@@laurarominger2073 Thank you.
I can feel your wife’s compassion and heart through this screen. You’re a fortunate man.
I volunteered at a nursing home when I was in Jr. High. That and karate, motocross and racing carts and bikes kept me busy. At the end of the day though, I always looked forward to seeing the elderly the most. Painting their nails, brushing their hair or just sit and hold hands and talking....what a wonderful resource these people are and how few realize it. I adore your wife so much. She's good people and you're a lucky man. She's raising the next generation with you!
Kiddo I lost mine 35 years ago & I still cry over the loss of their beautiful souls {{hugs}}

A good cry never hurt anybody, beautiful song
I am 1 second into the video and I am already bawling my eyes out. Merry Christmas! That's what it all is about.
Anybody who listens to this song and doesn't cry at least a little bit doesn't have a heart. Tears in response to a story of friendship, loss and faith are beautiful and cleansing.
Wifey is the real deal Robert, you need her back more often please! That is an exceptional song by Brooks & Dunn, and I've become a fan too.
"Wifey"!? Really? Is this not viewed as a tad outdated today?

@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 Only by you!
I cry everytime I hear this song. This time I brawled my eyes out. I have really been missing my Mom and Dad during this holiday season.
I have so many wonderful memories of my grandparents....
Now I have to mop up the pool of tears we both cried. That one will get you right in the heart ♥️.
You and your beautiful wife are good people. God bless you both. Merry Christmas

I do too 😢
Ok, I always tear up at this song, but with your lady doing the same thing I am going to have to stop only a few minutes in. I had to stop before the end just have been to emotional lately to do this. The best to you both.
Yea gets me every time. And I've heard it for years😢❤
Same here, and when a reactor is chocked up...makes it worse.
I've know B&D since the 80's as a teenager.. My oldest son wanted to have a party for his 5th birthday.. Boot Scootin Boogie...Country themed party. My goodness.. he'll be 37 in March..

This is based on the singer's real life 💜

I still cry and I have watched this video a hundreds of times...
Thank you BP and Wifey!
I love the realness. Just what I needed. Thank you. ❤
I was 13 when I first heard this song.
I was standing in line to say goodbye to one of my best friends who had passed away.
This song breaks me every time. I never skip the song, and I never will.
This song and ‘go rest high on that mountain’ by Vince Gill
I understand how she feels. I lost my grandpa back in 2007. We were with him at the very end. He was a World War II veteran, and as she said, the best man I've ever known. He would tell us all these stories, some of them it seemed like 200 times, but I'd give a lot to hear him tell them all again.
I was a friend to quite a few old timers, if you'll pardon the expression. Hard working, old roughneck people. They were good and I learned a lot. They became family to me. The last one of them left in 2022, and it still breaks me up to think about it.
Cherish it while you got it, because it goes by way too damn fast. It doesn't matter how many years you have with them, it'll never seem like enough.
Very true. It's never enough time.
It's okay to cry, honey. I'm almost 70 years old, and this video touched me, too. The final part really touched my heart as it was almost identical to my husband's funeral procession 18 years ago in our small Texas Hill Country town. I believe that I will see him again. That's what keeps one going.
Great song with meaning. Maybe show her Vince Gill/Carrie Underwood with How Great Thou Art or Vince Gill with Go Rest High On That Mountain. On your own, go watch Jelly Roll do this with Brooks & Dunn on the CMA show from a few weeks ago. A live version that moved much of the crowd there. Appreciate you, sir.
Yes please
Hi Wifey, it great to see you on again. This is a great song. Love Brooks and Dunn.. Merry Christmas to and your family🌲🎅🤶🎄🙏❤️
This song will make you cry every time you listen to it I know it doe's me
This is beautiful. I’ve been a BND fan for a long time and I haven’t heard this. Another song for dear Wifey, who has such a big ol’ heart, is the John Prine (master songwriter) song, “Hello in There”. I cried when John Prine died. I miss his love of music and songwriting. He knew the human heart and translated that to music.
I really enjoyed your reactions to Believe. And your wife is a very beautiful lady.❤❤❤
I had the honor of seeing them in concert. ❤️❤️
My Maria came out when I was taking Spanish, so I especially related to it.
I cry every time. If you don't shed a tear something is wrong whit you. Merry Christmas!!!
So so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandpa. It’s always hard for me to watch this video and I lost my grandfather 55 years ago.
Girl, it gets me every time! His voice combined with the story. Tears just show that you care, that is the way that I look at it. Merry Christmas to your family and have a great New Year!
Brooks & Dunn are one of the best. They can touch ya in so many ways. You two have it goin' on. Love and cherish each other.
Have loved them from the start. 70year old woman here hoping I leave good memories behind. It is Christmas day, I am alone even though I have two children and six grandchildren. I can't WAIT to "go home"!
Your wife is absolutely wonderful. So precious. Here's two country songs that get to me every time. Whew. I cry like a baby every single time I hear them.
Kathy Mattea - "Where've You Been?"
Colin Rae - "Love Me (If You Get There Before I Do)"
She reminds me of my daughter so much! 😂
Love y'all. God bless you 🤟

The world has changed so much since then!
Your wife is precious. I have a soft heart also & have been made fun of plenty of times for crying during movies, a news segment etc lol. This song is hard! Such a beautiful reaction
One of the best songs ever
Funny story: When I graduated high school, I went to my grandparents' house for a couple of weeks, as I had done every summer. I was sitting outside having a few beers with my Papaw when he started tearing up. Now I have to stop and point out that my Papaw was 6'8, 285lbs and raised in the Church of Christ. I asked what was wrong, and this is what he said; son it has been a pleasure watching you grow into a fine young man it just pains me to think that we won't be together in heaven. I asked him why he felt that way and he said, " he'll, your parents raised you Baptist".
I just laughed and told him, " don't you worry, papaw when my time comes, you will be the first one I look for."
So beautiful. It makes me cry every time I hear it.
I am the same way. I have a soft spot in my heart for elderly, and I'm 55...
Ronnie Dunn is a great singer . His voice can move you .
You definitely have to show her "Monsters". It will make her cry, but it's good to have those emotions...because you saw the memory it brought back right afterwards. Wifey talking about him going and get the family records when he met you. Lol and she laughed. That genuine, pure laugh. THAT'S what life is all about. Yes there's sadness, but there's laughter too. Please keep doing reactions with your wife. Your dynamic is so sweet. Another great reaction!
Great message of faith & best voice ever!
4:27 great idea!!!! There are so many older folks out there that would love getting their story out. DOOOOO ITTTTTY!!!!!
Yes! Interview them and ask them their favorite songs and then react to a couple of the songs!
They did many great songs, but that was their best. I still tear up every time I hear it.
RED DIRT ROAD... is the BEST Brooks & Dunn song! I'm sure the wifey knows that song! You would LOVE that song BP, I promise you will! 1000% it goes on the forever playlist!
Ronny Dunn's voice is absolutely gorgeous - especially on this song. The emotion and truth in the lyrics being sung like he sang them absolute gutted me. What a beautiful song and video.
Very touching song. ❤️✌🏻🎶
The more I hear this song the more I cry! It’s truly a beautiful moving song!!
Definitely a tear jerker 😢
I'm an old crusty, cantankerous curmudgeon, and this song touches me and brings me near to tears too!
I cry Every. Single. Time. 😊❤
I walked 2 miles a few times a day to an old farmer’s house because of a dare .. they said he was the devil.. and a mean man .. turned out he was a very kind man and thoughtful beyond belief.. but. He looked ragged and weathered like an old farmer that got beaten Thu hell with loss of wife kids and just needed comfort.. he taught me so much ..
I feel this one ,i had my grandma and best maan I ever knew grandaddy William Hugh .still and always will miss
It’s ok wifey cry if u need too. Merry Christmas to all
Ronnie Dunn's powerful ability to pour his emotion into the song and especially the message of Hope because of what the Lord Jesus did for us. If you come to tears not because of the sadness of what the song is about, but the message that Old Man Rigley could deal with the death of his wife and baby because he knew he would be re-united with them in Heaven for Eternity. Those are tears of joy from being moved by the Holy Spirit, which is your connection to Almighty God through faith in His Son Yeshua Jesus the Messiah, Amen
Grandparents are such a blessing to kids.
Loved meeting you. I’m a 68 old country woman raised in Mississippi. And I was really excited about the old folk interviews. I have
Recently met an old 92 year old man that walkes all bent over and I sat down with him and he was a WWII vet then he had worked with NASA. And was on the work with John Glen. So much history that who would have ever thought of someone in bowtown South Georgia. And at 68 being a farm woman. I can tell you all about farming to skydiving - baling hay - motorcycle rides speeds up to 153 - semi truck driving - wielding -but don’t ask about dressing up -my dressing up was
Rodeo style - not going to proms- but bull riding in the back plaster on Sunday afternoons - knowing I was gonna get in trouble with my dad. But the excitement of riding bulls with my brothers was worth the belting from Daddy.
Great reaction! Good husband, for having tissue handy. My family never owned any slaves either, 🙃. Y'all left me laughing.
One of my favorites will always be My Maria!
I cry too. Every time. ❤
Awwee Pepaw sounds like a gem
Geez dude give her a hug Damn 😢
I even cry when I know that the song is about to be played! I'm not normally a country fan, but who doesn't love Ronnie Dunn's voice?
MAN!! This song gets me. I usually shed a tear at the end. Not until he runs from the funeral to the house. Your wife had me crying with her 30 seconds in.
My grandfather had cancer & my father frequently drove him to the hospital 150 miles away for treatment. My dad had needed someone to go with him to keep him awake during the drive in case my grandfather had to remain in hospital. I was terrified of my large, gruff voiced grandfather & was unhappy that task fell to me. One visit to my hospitalized grandfather I had noticed my grandparents walking the hall & holding hands like young lovers. I commented on this to my grandfather when he was discharged & we were driving home. My grandfather commented on his love for his family & the appreciation he had for my father & me for our support in his journey. He had known for some time I was unhappy with my role in his journey for treatment & my fear of him. We talked so much on that trip & somewhere I realized that he was such a good loving person. After that trip I begged my dad to take me with him so I could spend more time with grandpa. He died when I was 12.
Man this song gets me....there was an old man that lived down the road from me when I was a kid. Old rancher...didn't have any family left, but he was family to us. I cried for days when he passed. And tear up every time I think about it. That was 35 years ago and I can see him as clear as a picture in my mind.
Thank you for doing this song....thank you
Yeah it’s a great song and visual. Master class level. I’m fairly confident anything with a heart instead of a thumping gizzard gets it. Some say this “country music” lol. This is humanity music
Hey Wifey, love seeing your gorgeous face again. I lost my grandmother November 2 so I was crying with you. From one Georgia girl to another…Go Dawgs! ♥️
I hadn’t heard this for so long…brought me tears….life is filled with emotions and the memories connected….Jesus hold me I love you and my family you’re with !
On top of Ronnie Dunn's vocals, its this style of organ that makes this song....What a masterpiece..
