Amen. Remember health is wealth. Spend your life making precious memories with those you love instead of making materialistic assets that you can't take with you . ❤❤
I've got neither health nor wealth. It's anxiety producing but could always be worse. Like the saying goes, "I've been poor and I've been poorer, poor is better. And I've been sick and I've been sicker, sick is better. It's just a matter of perspective. 😘
As a financial planner, I get to interact with people and their financial goals. Whether they have $100,000 or 10 million, the happiest ones are always the content ones. I've met people at both ends of the spectrum that are miserable because they keep wanting more and are never, ever, satisfied. It's usually to the detriment of those closest to them and their own real health. I often talk about the lady at the well that Jesus met: there are so many things we try to fill up our lives with but never truly lead to fulfillment (It's empty, temporal satisfaction). Love this song!
After losing both parents in the past two years... I have found that happiness isn't found by keeping any of their possessions or belongings even the ones that are super sentimental. I don't long to have or hold their belongings, just them, and I know I will when it's my time to go. Family is everything to me, that's my happiness!
I broke down the other day because I’m the only one of my friends who doesn’t own a home. They have a lot more than me and I have been feeling unworthy because of it. I heard this in the car and it made me cry. It’s the message I needed to hear. Thank you for this beautiful song 💜🙏🏼
My husband sent me this song from prison. We’ve only been married three months :( this is his dream though.. he doesn’t need a bigger house to be happy just as long as he has me..
This song remind me of my brother. He wants a bigger house, a better life, a "high quality" life with expensive food, expensive clothes brands, expensive entertainments. And finally, he choose to leave me to have that life, he moved with his lover. But all I want is having good times with him, playing games together, watching movies together, talking sh*t things about another person lols, etc. All I want is just he staying with me. What I seek for is not in a bigger house. The lyrics of this song remind me so much about our story.
Yes, I believe that is so true. I'm 66. I believe that is true. The smaller house MAKES family come together. Bigger the house, the move space to separate. Love this song. Everyone needs to go back to old school ways.
Yes ... I don't think people think about their bank accounts when they lay dying. I'd like to think they think about those they loved and those that loved them. You can't take that house or bank account with you ❤❤❤
This song so inspiring. We grow old, hair turning greys, hands will shaking...time flies so fast. Happiness isn't always bout money is about how to be grateful for what we have, what we've been through this far. Thanks Dan + Shay
I lost it at “if you don’t fill it up with somebody that you love it ain’t ever gonna feel like home.” This song is so pure and beautiful. Job well done
This song hits home,while raising my children I always felt as if what I provided wasn't enough, but the older I get I realize the kids didn't care about material things, they just wanted to spend time with us,I am grateful I made memories instead of chasing money,because time with loved ones is something we cannot get back .
I live in a town where many people have HUGE homes (including my son's girlfriend). I have a small house and always worried how my kids would feel. They really don't care. And when it is time for his friends to get together, they always choose my house. It's the memories made not the size of the house.
Have struggled with finances for pretty much the last 13 years weve had kids, but i wouldnt trade the bankruptcy or lower credit score for the time ive gotten to spend with the kids
This song is for all those with "greener grass" syndrome! Those who walk away from people for something a little more shiny! It's sad how so many people lose their moon, while chasing stars!! ❤️
Cant buy what god has blessed me with. When you grow up from nothing you learn money cant buy a wife that really loves you, kids to laugh with, cows that come to the gate to say hi. Good song yall 3:17
I heard this song for the first time today. My husband is away working hard to provide for us more often than he's home. The way this song has reduced me to a puddle of tears in the middle of my kitchen floor while putting away groceries is incredibly telling of the way music can connect to our very souls and experiences. I'm so proud of him and grateful for his sacrifices so we can have that bigger home, but it's sure hard on the heart missing a big piece every day of the love that fills that home.
Y'all need to pray together with your spouse and re-evaluate your lives. What is first in your lives? God, family, or the material things in your life? Believe me, I speak from 45 years of marital experience. Having all the fineries, the bigger houses will never give back to the time one spends building a foundation with your children. My oldest sons missed time with their Dad. They are blessed to spend time with him now, in their 40's, and he's in his 60's... seek the Lord now, while it is still called today! This life goes way to fast, you won't care what you own, you will care about your relationships, with God, your spouse, and children... Mom Of Many
We were in a similar boat.. My husband took a big pay cut to come off the road.. He don't do as much as we used too.. But we still eat good and pay the bills. I'm Happier. I'm content. I love my little house with my wild growing garden. So happy!!!
I have a friend that once told me that “if you don’t learn contentment now, when you get what you think you need, you still won’t be content”. It’s because true contentment is found in Jesus, and if you’re contentment if found in Him then it will transcend all circumstances.
My husband is active duty navy and also going on deployment this Saturday. While we’ve always wanted more out of life itself, we’ve never aimed to be wealthy in money but in love and life. This song represents our love for each other, our kids and the life we built. Currently sobbing on my drive home…
Big or small , rich or poor, none of it matters without God and Family .. Concrete and Walls may build a foundation for a house , but love and ONLY love , can turn that house into a home. ,,, Do so love this song !!!!. Way to go Dan and Shay ❤❤
Yes, I preach to the ladies at the county jail and often we talk about seeing Jesus after our last breath. Only His blood for my son is all that matters. It is my only righteousness. Of course, if you give your life to Jesus and live according to His will, He will give you true peace and joy on earth in your life. And it will not be involving a bigger house and great wealth.
You both look so happy and healthy. I’m so excited for this new era. Been a long time fan, but this is the original sound I fell in love with. I can tell you guys re-fell in love with music. These 3 new songs display that beautifully. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. And I can’t wait to see y’all live ❤️❤️
This video was shot at a farm across the road from where I grew up. I spent a lot of hours playing on that farm, including up on that hill. You could see for miles. Good memories.
This song makes me cry, it's a reminder of what is really important and it's not always a bigger house, though likely the people you call family, whether they're really family or a few really close friends.
I asked a realtor once why older couples buy huge houses.. her response TAXES.. he may or may not have wanted a bigger house. If you earn decent money you hv to spend it on the few things that are a tax deduction or hand it over every April 15th
Made a series of bad personal life decisions that ‘looked’ good to other people that left me feeling lonelier than ever. All I can say is that money doesn’t keep you warm at night and when you’re old and gray it’s not going to care if you’re sick and dying. Hold onto the ones that love you. ❤
🙌🙌🙌 Thank you! In a world where it seems like everything needs to be bigger and better, this... this is what life is about. The footsteps, the watching the dogs out the window, and sitting on your porch with your honey... yep, that's the life. 😍😍😍 "If you don't fill it up with somebody that you love it ain't ever gonna to feel like home".
In the event anybody missed it, and it seems from the comments that many have, the point is obviously being grateful for whatever it is you might have... down to nothing at all. Happiness is found in your heart and mind, not in the things that may or may not surround you. Couldn't agree more. I find the days I am grateful, for everything, anything. These are the good days. May you all be so blessed as to have your every second of every minute of every day grateful.
Currently going thru an eviction after the death of a child … we needed to hear this song it gave me hope and gave me a sense of gratitude and purity new favorite song
This song is my favorite in the whole wide world. I’ve redone myself. The only problem I’m having is being grateful for what I have and not wanting more
You both look so happy now ! God has been good to both of you. So many blessings in your lives. Shay you look amazing and Dan I can’t believe how handsome you look. The long hair was ok but now you look like your self again ! Good luck and lots of prayers for both of you. The break was good for both of you. God worked everything out for both of you. You are stronger now.
I absolutely love this song feels like Dan and Shay are going back to their roots I couldn’t be more happy love you guys so much and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the CD
1st time listening to this song after being released for 10days now feels like I'm riding a bus going home to my hometown. Dan+Shay never fails to make us feel something incredible and deep with their music. Thank you!! Much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Bigger house, lonely as hell...rather go back in time to that small 2 bedroom apartment we use to live in...when everything counted and nothing was for granted
I had no idea this song had been out for a year or more. I've only heard it a couple of times on the radio and even then I would always catch it at the end of the song until yesterday. It came on the radio and I listened from the beginning to the end and all I can say is wow... definitely my new favorite song! I didn't have much growing up but I never went about. I got married very young and struggled for a long time. We finally bought an older mobile home on some property when my children were young, my son was about five and my daughter was two. We raised our children in that house until my son was 19 and my daughter was 16 years old. I wished and wanted a bigger better nicer house for years and years and years. In 2009 myself and both of my kids were in a bad wreck and I thank God they were both okay. I was okay but I was left with a neurological disease that has no cure for the rest of my life. Afterwards there was a big lawsuit and I was awarded a good amount of money, enough to buy a brand new modular home. I picked out every single thing I wanted from 9 ft ceilings to the kind of flooring I wanted I designed my enormous walk-in closet so many upgrades and every extra add-on I could get even the way it was built with extra insulation the best windows you can get. I got the whole nine yards and then some! At that point I had been married foreclosed to 23 years and after getting my beautiful brand new home right before my 29th anniversary I found out my husband had been seeing someone else and he filed for a divorce. After raising our kids in that little old house happily for so many years I got what I wanted (a new house) lost my entire life of almost 33 years together in an instant. Both of my children are grown married with kids of their own and I sit here day after day all alone in this big beautiful house. I live everyday in pain with a chronic illness that requires so much medication just to be comfortable enough to get through every day and every night 😢 So be careful what you want and wish for because you might get it but not in the way you imagined! Especially when what you had was already enough. And that my friends is what this song is all about. Don't take anything for granted and be grateful to our Heavenly Father for everything you have even if it's just a little old house, because that little old house was always filled with the most important things...love and happiness❤
Never try to live upto the Jones' but be yourself and if those can't love you for what you bring and make family your home....I guess it doesn't matter where you live then. Love you guys ❤😊
The message to this is song is so amazing, the need to be bigger and better sometimes isn’t aspiring to be better but forgetting to focus on what’s in front of you.
Nailed it. I'm 37, always been more into outlaw country, very little new country, rock, etc...I absolutely cant stand "candy" or "pop" country, and to be honest, none of Dan and Shay's music. But this one hits hard...respect has been earned on this one. I'll have to listen to more of y'alls music, I bet I'll find more songs that I can relate to. Thank you for this one. God bless, and keep these coming.
I love to listen to Dan and Shay. There songs are closer to real life than I've heard before. I always send my husband their songs because they seem to apply to us so well. Keep up the fantastic songs Dan and Shay.👍
I first heard this song from The Voice, so beautiful! Even my 9 year old said " Thats a good song Mama" - and told her, has a great message too! You guys are awesome! We appreciate your music!❤️❤️
I love this song! 🥰 Wonderful message and perfect vocals!! 🤩 I hope you both realize how talented you are and how much much your music is appreciated. ♥️
I heard the song yesterday and instantly liked it. More than a sentiment. Sometimes we have to try the “bigger house “ path. That’s okay. But contentment is attainable without a dime.
Man I really needed to hear this song for what it is, I've heard it a million times but never truly heard the lyrics. I've always been the person to want more, nothing ever good enough, I have 2 brand new cars, a beautiful home, continue to make more and more money and it's never enough. It seems I've been chasing ghosts... coat tails of happiness. It's not about any of that shit... I need to be more grateful for what I've got because it's actually more than a lot of other people have.
This is exactly what I like the most. Both of you always pick the lane where everything is so laid back and mellow where just by listening to anything you feel you can really destress. This and Heartbreak on the Map. Great title. You always look outward and you take for granted what you have right in front of you. Everything just fits with your musicality and lyrics. Excellent job!!!
The thing about happiness I found is is it don’t live in bigger houses 😭😭🥺🏠 this song and video is so good. Y’all nailed it and I love it so much everything single thing 💛💛💛
I’ve literally been listening to this on repeat, I’m obsessed ❤ Blaring it in the car and singing my heart out. Dan+Shay blew it out of the park as usual🥰 I wish money wasn’t tight right now or I’d be at your Toronto show in July!! From the ground up was my wedding first dance song. Love you guys, keep doing what you’re doing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The older you get the more you realize that the things that you use to think were so important aren’t. It’s all about your Faith in God and a Loving Family!! Everything else is just extra’s!!!
Amen. Remember health is wealth. Spend your life making precious memories with those you love instead of making materialistic assets that you can't take with you . ❤❤
You got it...
I've got neither health nor wealth. It's anxiety producing but could always be worse. Like the saying goes, "I've been poor and I've been poorer, poor is better. And I've been sick and I've been sicker, sick is better. It's just a matter of perspective. 😘
As a financial planner, I get to interact with people and their financial goals. Whether they have $100,000 or 10 million, the happiest ones are always the content ones. I've met people at both ends of the spectrum that are miserable because they keep wanting more and are never, ever, satisfied. It's usually to the detriment of those closest to them and their own real health. I often talk about the lady at the well that Jesus met: there are so many things we try to fill up our lives with but never truly lead to fulfillment (It's empty, temporal satisfaction). Love this song!
And "content" is where I found myself on Settles Hill....
Woman at the well is my favorite bible story. He just wants our hearts and will go the distance to make you feel loved.
Well said
How do I get in contact with you to buy my first house I want the family, just want the stability of a home first
Best song ever. Alot of people need to hear this
Been telling everyone I know to kisten
After losing both parents in the past two years... I have found that happiness isn't found by keeping any of their possessions or belongings even the ones that are super sentimental.

You'll get where you need to be in your own time. Good luck
@@tamrab2572 thank you love! 🙏🏼
You are not alone , dearheart , love is the biggest thing , God bless you
Thank you honey! @@elizabethmichaels882
It's not what they are talking about. You could love where you are as long as you love the people around you.
First time hearing this song. My wife and I were on are way. home with our 2nd baby girl form the Hospital
@@elgastsos210What a miserable thing to say. I hope you find happiness TRUE happiness where you don’t have to stomp on someone’s TRUE happy.
My husband sent me this song from prison. We’ve only been married three months :( this is his dream though.. he doesn’t need a bigger house to be happy just as long as he has me..
Enjoy your new baby girl! ❤
Amen happiness doesn’t come from bigger houses!❤❤
This song remind me of my brother. He wants a bigger house, a better life, a "high quality" life with expensive food, expensive clothes brands, expensive entertainments.

Such a nice reminder, I've been finding my true happiness in God.
Amen 🙌🏽 praise God
Yes ... I don't think people think about their bank accounts when they lay dying. I'd like to think they think about those they loved and those that loved them. You can't take that house or bank account with you ❤❤❤
That's right. You don't need a bigger house (of worship). Megachurches aren't necessary. "Where two or three are gathered in my name..."
Same!!! 🙏🏽
This song so inspiring. We grow old, hair turning greys, hands will shaking...time flies so fast. Happiness isn't always bout money is about how to be grateful for what we have, what we've been through this far. Thanks Dan + Shay
When you die you can't take possessions with you. Enjoy what you have and be grateful.
I lost it at “if you don’t fill it up with somebody that you love it ain’t ever gonna feel like home.” This song is so pure and beautiful. Job well done
Thank you Jacob!
So true
man thats it right there
Hands down favorite line.
This song hits home,while raising my children I always felt as if what I provided wasn't enough, but the older I get I realize the kids didn't care about material things, they just wanted to spend time with us,I am grateful I made memories instead of chasing money,because time with loved ones is something we cannot get back .

Have struggled with finances for pretty much the last 13 years weve had kids, but i wouldnt trade the bankruptcy or lower credit score for the time ive gotten to spend with the kids
My current favorite song. I love how relatable and realistic this is. 💙
This song is for all those with "greener grass" syndrome! Those who walk away from people for something a little more shiny! It's sad how so many people lose their moon, while chasing stars!! ❤️
Cant buy what god has blessed me with. When you grow up from nothing you learn money cant buy a wife that really loves you, kids to laugh with, cows that come to the gate to say hi. Good song yall 3:17
My wife have grown closer to each other because of this song. So much so that when we renew our vows next year we are playing this song
Aw that is so beautiful!
Stop. I’m crying. This may be one of my favorite Dan+Shay songs yet ➕😭💛 This album is going to absolutely kill it
Omg I'm crying listening to this too and I don't know why lol. It's an amazing song.
Same! Why is it so moving!!! Love love love!
Agreed 🫶

@DanAndShay.. Great job you guys!
I heard this song for the first time today. My husband is away working hard to provide for us more often than he's home.

This was the sweetest thing 😢❤ much love to you all
My husband also works away from home so I’m with ya with the puddle of tears😢. Stay strong!

Good men love though sacrifice - it would change them to ask them not to - you've got a keeper.

Amen! I could live in a 100 square foot home and be content.Jesus is my rock 🙏💜🙏
I've heard that before....beautiful phrase 😢
contentment is complacency. gratitude is one thing, but being content means you're staying the same.

Here from watching this performance on The Voice. This is such a beautiful song and I’m not sure why I wasn’t bigger on Dan & Shay before. 💓
Finally a white girl who doesn’t hate country music.
Currently going thru an eviction after the death of a child … we needed to hear this song it gave me hope and gave me a sense of gratitude and purity new favorite song
fuck. thats terrible. im so sorry. May God bless u. Time heals..or at least makes it easier to deal with.
Beautiful
I can’t stop listening to this song and it’s just this version
First time I really understand this song. I am 60 and lost alot because something was always better. Finally I realized the true meaning of love
This song is my favorite in the whole wide world. I’ve redone myself. The only problem I’m having is being grateful for what I have and not wanting more
You both look so happy now ! God has been good to both of you. So many blessings in your lives. Shay you look amazing and Dan I can’t believe how handsome you look. The long hair was ok but now you look like your self again ! Good luck and lots of prayers for both of you. The break was good for both of you. God worked everything out for both of you. You are stronger now.
I absolutely love this song feels like Dan and Shay are going back to their roots I couldn’t be more happy love you guys so much and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the CD
❤❤ hope you love the album!
Moral of the song you dont need to be rich to be happy
❤ omg thank you ❤ so true. I wasnt enough am better now
Wrong.. that's why they sing this song.. u missed the point
I was joking with my husband, we're in the process of moving, that Dan and Shay have clearly never had a space problem 😂
@@dabneyscholler8495you don’t know what they had before their careers. Quit being bitter because they worked harder 🤷🏻♀️
@ambersims6666 it was a joke, read my comment, jeez!
If you're with those you love, you're where you need to be.❤
I cried the first time I listened to this at 23 it’s only been a short time but this gave me every lesson I ever needed.
I've never posted on social media but that song hits the heart.
First time hearing this. It made me emotional.😢🤧😢🤧
Beautiful song ❤❤
Had to send it to people.I say any song that can produce happy tears is worth sharing!!!
Man rascal flatts is still killing it with the hits after all these years.
Welcome back Dan + Shay. I'm a fan since 2014. Can't wait for your upcoming fifth studio album! Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭
Music for the soul . This hit is a gem
1st time listening to this song after being released for 10days now feels like I'm riding a bus going home to my hometown. Dan+Shay never fails to make us feel something incredible and deep with their music. Thank you!! Much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
❤❤❤
I think this is favorite Dan + Shay song ever.
Mine too👍🏻
Agreed 💯
So wise, sweet, mature & grounded…I love this content🤍
I am a huge Dan + Shay fan and this is my favourite song. The song is so good I almost cried
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
Marvelous singers. Beautiful voices and love this song. Never heard it before. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a beautiful song and I think is is one of my favorite Dan and Shay songs ever ❤❤
Went from bigger house and an unhappy home to a smaller home and I’m happy.
This song is the truth.
Bigger house, lonely as hell...rather go back in time to that small 2 bedroom apartment we use to live in...when everything counted and nothing was for granted
Same and I’m divorced now best times of my marriage was in our little apartment ❤
Always have a heartfelt lyrics. Don't stop writing songs. My all time favorite artist.
Lovely song with a good moral. If anybody didn’t understand it means You don’t have to have something greater or bigger to be happy.
Comparison is the thief of joy
Very true

I picked out every single thing I wanted from 9 ft ceilings to the kind of flooring I wanted I designed my enormous walk-in closet so many upgrades and every extra add-on I could get even the way it was built with extra insulation the best windows you can get. I got the whole nine yards and then some! At that point I had been married foreclosed to 23 years and after getting my beautiful brand new home right before my 29th anniversary I found out my husband had been seeing someone else and he filed for a divorce. After raising our kids in that little old house happily for so many years I got what I wanted (a new house) lost my entire life of almost 33 years together in an instant. Both of my children are grown married with kids of their own and I sit here day after day all alone in this big beautiful house. I live everyday in pain with a chronic illness that requires so much medication just to be comfortable enough to get through every day and every night 😢 So be careful what you want and wish for because you might get it but not in the way you imagined! Especially when what you had was already enough.
And that my friends is what this song is all about. Don't take anything for granted and be grateful to our Heavenly Father for everything you have even if it's just a little old house, because that little old house was always filled with the most important things...love and happiness❤
We all need reminding of this song's message, every once in a while.
Me and my mom are obsessed with this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never try to live upto the Jones' but be yourself and if those can't love you for what you bring and make family your home....I guess it doesn't matter where you live then. Love you guys ❤😊
The message to this is song is so amazing, the need to be bigger and better sometimes isn’t aspiring to be better but forgetting to focus on what’s in front of you.
Nobody remembers what house you lived in or cars you drove after you die.. character is what matters..
Nailed it. I'm 37, always been more into outlaw country, very little new country, rock, etc...I absolutely cant stand "candy" or "pop" country, and to be honest, none of Dan and Shay's music. But this one hits hard...respect has been earned on this one. I'll have to listen to more of y'alls music, I bet I'll find more songs that I can relate to. Thank you for this one. God bless, and keep these coming.
I love to listen to Dan and Shay. There songs are closer to real life than I've heard before. I always send my husband their songs because they seem to apply to us so well.
Keep up the fantastic songs Dan and Shay.👍
That means a lot Cathey!
Beautiful song ❤❤ I love listening to Dan+Shay sing!!

Love it! This is going to be playing on repeat. I can’t wait for the rest of the album! ❤❤🎉
🙌🙌
I heard the song yesterday and instantly liked it. More than a sentiment. Sometimes we have to try the “bigger house “ path. That’s okay. But contentment is attainable without a dime.
I’m so happy for new 3 songs! 😭❤️ this is sooooo good! Thank you Dan and Shay for new songs and album soon! 🤗 you’re the best!!
Thanks Juliana! Hope you love the album ❤
@@DanAndShay I do love the album! ❤️😍 Thank you for doing this for us! Also, for taking time to reply to us! 😁🥺
Man I really needed to hear this song for what it is, I've heard it a million times but never truly heard the lyrics. I've always been the person to want more, nothing ever good enough, I have 2 brand new cars, a beautiful home, continue to make more and more money and it's never enough. It seems I've been chasing ghosts... coat tails of happiness. It's not about any of that shit... I need to be more grateful for what I've got because it's actually more than a lot of other people have.
This is exactly what I like the most. Both of you always pick the lane where everything is so laid back and mellow where just by listening to anything you feel you can really destress. This and Heartbreak on the Map. Great title. You always look outward and you take for granted what you have right in front of you. Everything just fits with your musicality and lyrics. Excellent job!!!
Thanks for the kind words!
So true the only wealth you need is family.
Makes me miss home so much. Who cares about the money. I ALWAYS deserved someone that loved me.
You made our night so special; for my hubby and I🤍 in Dallas TX 8.30.24✨🙏🏼
Wow, what a song!
I absolutely LOVE this song! WOW! Way to go, guys!
Beautiful song it's a touching song but this song is so meaningful and true about life and love ❤
Yeah I know awesome isn't it.😊
The thing about happiness I found is is it don’t live in bigger houses 😭😭🥺🏠 this song and video is so good. Y’all nailed it and I love it so much everything single thing 💛💛💛
Dan and Shay. The most underrated in country music
Duo of the year award recipients every year, and they deserve the very best.
Best Dan And Shay Song Ever.
Ive had this on replay I don't know how many time😢 This is is the type of Dan + Shay music i fell in love with since those good old days
I’ve literally been listening to this on repeat, I’m obsessed ❤ Blaring it in the car and singing my heart out. Dan+Shay blew it out of the park as usual🥰 I wish money wasn’t tight right now or I’d be at your Toronto show in July!! From the ground up was my wedding first dance song. Love you guys, keep doing what you’re doing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful message! (Fill your soul up with Jesus by drawing closer to him!)
Amen 🙌🏽
Amen ❤
Amen 🙏🏻 ❤️
this is making me cry!! ✨✨✨
All that matters in this life is what God gave us, which is family 🙌🏽
Not everyone is blessed to have good healthy families 😢
The older you get the more you realize that the things that you use to think were so important aren’t. It’s all about your Faith in God and a Loving Family!! Everything else is just extra’s!!!
Happiness doesn't live in a bigger house or a nicer car, it lives within you and the ones you love ❤
Okay I heard this song one day on. The radio and this is what I play on repeat every time I'm smoking. This song is incredible. ❤
Watched them perform this on the people’s country choice awards show, wow they were the best performance of the night IMHO
I’m so thankful that this song was made to keep my head on straight. The desire to have a house has truly wrecked my mind all day.
Dan+Shay you guys look great!! Thank you putting great music out there. Brightens my day. You're a blessing.
