Thank you for writing this song singing this song brother. I was in a coma for quite some time after being hit by illegal immigrant on my Harley. While I was in a coma my friends were taken to heaven because it was okay to do it then obviously. And then several other attempts were made and they've never stopped since but I want you to know this song has helped me make it through everything. Thank you my dear friend who I've never met.
Its still odd to me that people preform other peoples songs while the original artist generally goes unappreciated. Travis is an outstanding song writer. And in my opinion, someone who writes from personal experience and emotion has a much better sound. All of the production value in the world can't help owen sound better than Travis on this song. Much respect.
One of the best examples of this is the song, I Need You, a hit for Tim McGraw a few years back. His version was a textbook example of how to ruin a great song by running it through the Nashville pop country grinder. Go back and listen to it again, then find Tony Lane's studio cut. He cowrote it with David Lee. No comparison. Tony gave it the raw edge it deserved and in his hands it's a masterpiece.
I’ve seen this song on fb in the past and here now seeing that this was actually out like 9 years ago. You can hear that there’s real emotion , voice cracks like he’s about to cry. It’s such a raw emotion in it when he sings it. Love everything about it and his voice.
This song always makes me cry... It follows my life to a T.. The things I have lost in my life, the things I wanted out of my life, and where I have ended up... It isn't where I wanted to be.. What we all want, aint what we all got..
Just heard this song for the first time . I lost my mom on the day after my birthday 10/14/21and here I am 10/25/21 listening to this song bringing me memories of my mom .wishing I had her here.😢😢😢😢
And 2 fools voted him down. JEALOUS! Just saw him at Tin Pan South and he slayed us! We have video but are too lazy to upload it on RUclips yet! There are your posers and then there is Travis Meadows!
I was looking to learn how to play this song and found this. I always love listening to these big songs played by the person who wrote it. I don't get into this or that version is better, because I think that is like saying blue guitars are the best guitars. But I will say that I'd rather listen to Mr. Meadows. Amazing, old, soulful voice. I will be looking for more of his music.
No words for this Travis just a truly timeless song, and so very much talent! Jake did this exceptionally well for Himself, but this was a masterpiece in and of its self! So great full this channel brought this video to the masses. Thank you and god bless
I love this song, always have. I love Travis. I’ve followed him a while now. Found him on here and continued on Spotify. This is such a heartfelt song and I love the deep ones with meaning !! And to be honest, this song is my favorite one that Jake Owen’s performed as well. Well done 👍 ❤
I saw the version from july 2020 on fb a few minutes ago and am in awe of Travis, finding all versions of this song now and then I will be listening to the rest of his youtube playlist. Amazing. PHENOMENAL TALENT. He goes straight to the source, my heart can feel his...
Absolutely touched my heart, and so blessed to have heard it during a time in my life when almost letting go of a feeling so pure until reminded again through this wonderful song! Thank you Travis it's beautiful and the lyrics are AMAZING 💋💋💋
Kent Rocks That's not true. Jakes version was amazing. Jake can actually sing and write his own songs. But it's an opinion thing I guess. I respect Jake Owen because he truly one of the most genuine guys in the business.
It's great discovering the writers behind the songs. Especially if they have musical talent too. You get so much more emotion from the guys who penned them.
Travis is simply astounding....such an amazing songwriter, its too bad his talent isn't more recognized by the music community-I for one hope he gets a chance to be more pursued!
Wow! Found this to buy on Amazon on the CD "Killin' Uncle Buzzy." How does he know us so well? "We all want what we ain't got." "All I want is what I had."
Jake Owen's version is great but there is always something very special when a writer himself is singing his own song. It comes straight from the heart of the man where these thoughts were born. Having a voice like Travis' doesn't hurt either ...
As successful as I am in my career and all the nice things I can afford after throwing myself into my work! I still would give it all up for the one woman who moved my heart like no one else has! I wish I could go back and just tell her how I feel but she moved on and I'm still just stuck here dreaming and wishing! Take my advice, if you love someone TELL THEM! Don't miss out on your chance, because regret is the hardest thing to live with!
I never do this, but who is the lone LOSER who voted this song down? Just changed my 2016 Tin Pan South itinerary around so I can hit this guy's show instead of the one I had previously planned on that day & time!
The Chris Stapletons and Travis Meadows are starting to emerge. The music industry is so convoluted. I cant believe this guys starving while the “artists” are in the land of milk and honey.
Forgive the ignorance...but is Travis Meadows featured in Jake Owen's music video for this cover? If not, one of the men in the video has a strong resemblance to him!
Love this song he shouldn't give this song to jake Owens Travis sings way better than him this song makes me think I'm still masking my feelings for thirty years love the song your a wonderful singer and writer...
Travis Meadows deserves every bit of recognition! He is such an amazing artist who writes from the heart. Can't get enough of this video!
Courtney Jenaé H5J BY HEAHTR5467UHHG frvx yyy7yyyyyyy
Agree!
I agree 👍 💯
The songwriters today WISH they could write like this!

It's like a whole different song when travis sings it. The songwriter has the deepest connection with a song, and you can definitely tell it here!

I think he's better than Jake!

You can here the pain in his voice, he’s got one hell of a voice though. I’d definitely go to a concert if he had one around me.
Didn't hear this until Home Free's video. Enjoy seeing this done by the writer.
Love these lyrics. Travis is an amazing song writer, so much feeing. Love his voice.

You can really feel it when Travis sings it

Awesome, I love this Song
Thanks for watching! Yes, we do too, Gary.
This guy makes Nashville better he is unbelievable
Way better than the overproduced Nashville business version Jake Owen does. Travis rules! Never change.
Kent Rocks That's not true. Jakes version was amazing. Jake can actually sing and write his own songs. But it's an opinion thing I guess. I respect Jake Owen because he truly one of the most genuine guys in the business.
+Rob Williams Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but yours is wrong. Just sayin.
@@bmak76 👏👏
Still my favorite version of this song. Love Jake Owens cut, but the emotion in Travis voice just makes it so much more relatable.
Amen!
It's great discovering the writers behind the songs. Especially if they have musical talent too. You get so much more emotion from the guys who penned them.
In THIS case-WAY more emotion!! Plus he lived what he speaks!
Such a beautiful song ,it sounded amazing.
Travis is simply astounding....such an amazing songwriter, its too bad his talent isn't more recognized by the music community-I for one hope he gets a chance to be more pursued!
This is amazing song I Love it great artist listen to it for three and a half years now.
...one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, thank you for sharing and thanks a lot to Travis Meadows from Germany
Ive watched this video probably 30 times in the last month. Love it.
Great video. I hope you get back to Indiana soon. Enjoyed your shows at the Billy Club, and at Alizabeth Bertsch's barn party.
Man, that's an excellent performance. I've heard three versions of this song, so far. I love every one of them.
He gives me goosebumps I love that song❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I truly love this version. You can feel all the emotion when he signs the song, it's really inspiring.
My favorite version, thanks Travis!
Song hits home 💔 love Travis Meadows
This is so beautiful and raw, full of emotion. I just recently covered this song, it is such an immensely personal favorite.
Travis has rocked it brother
Nice song... and why is he not the artist as he sings better than those on the labels. Heck of a lot more soul to his singing.
Wow! Found this to buy on Amazon on the CD "Killin' Uncle Buzzy." How does he know us so well? "We all want what we ain't got." "All I want is what I had."
He has lived a lot of his songs. I’ve known him for 30+ years. He deserves to be recognized!
He is so underrated.. I love Travis..
Jake Owen's version is great but there is always something very special when a writer himself is singing his own song. It comes straight from the heart of the man where these thoughts were born. Having a voice like Travis' doesn't hurt either ...
Beautiful. Thank you, Travis
He is living in the future because he remembers but doesnt live in the past.
He can't get no better!!!!!!!!!!!
Travis meadows.....welcome back from were you've been.
Jake is a good friend of mine but man that song comes from your heart great job
He should record his own songs! Great job Travis! Love your music!
As successful as I am in my career and all the nice things I can afford after throwing myself into my work! I still would give it all up for the one woman who moved my heart like no one else has! I wish I could go back and just tell her how I feel but she moved on and I'm still just stuck here dreaming and wishing! Take my advice, if you love someone TELL THEM! Don't miss out on your chance, because regret is the hardest thing to live with!
Love the song and love what they are trying to say
wow! is all i can say, beautiful,and real!
I haven't heard the cover...and I'm glad I didn't. This is perfect.
I like his version way better and has that good old country feel and he should be performing his songs!
Amazing song travis..
This my friends is where it's at. Let's hope that it catches like a wildfire.
Well it did but with Jake Owen! I give this guy a record deal in a second and I worked on Music Row for 17 years! A second!
Where can I purchase THIS version? This recording? Just take my money... it's sooo good!!
Beautiful♥️🎶🎙
You can tell he wrote it. So much more heartfelt than Jake Owens. That's just what happens when its your own song.
Need more like this, LESS crap that belongs in pop. Thank You Sir.. write on and on
Right in the feels
Great voice
stunning!
No disrespect to jake but Travis amazing great voice
Incredible.
Jake is taking over where John prine left off. Beautiful soulful stuff
Song starts at 1:41
I never do this, but who is the lone LOSER who voted this song down? Just changed my 2016 Tin Pan South itinerary around so I can hit this guy's show instead of the one I had previously planned on that day & time!
Yess!!
The Chris Stapletons and Travis Meadows are starting to emerge. The music industry is so convoluted. I cant believe this guys starving while the “artists” are in the land of milk and honey.
Was this song written about someone in particular?
Travis could have taken his song all the way to #1 by himself with his talents and vocals
Who is this Jake Owen person everyone is talking about? oh well, who cares. Travis knows how to write. damn..
Anyone know the song at the intro
Forgive the ignorance...but is Travis Meadows featured in Jake Owen's music video for this cover? If not, one of the men in the video has a strong resemblance to him!
Yes it's Travis
cheers my brother!😍❤👍
❤❤❤
Super Travis Meadows.
😭😢 @my sister in heaven
Love this song he shouldn't give this song to jake Owens Travis sings way better than him this song makes me think I'm still masking my feelings for thirty years love the song your a wonderful singer and writer...
