This is a true story from Ronnie Dunn's childhood. He says he rarely sings it live because his voice breaks every time. That old man must have really meant a lot to him.
I can't say how many times I have heard and seen this video. I cried every time. It's the song and the singer and the visuals. Believers are comforted in sorrow. It's sad because there is love
Always thought when he ran away from the funeral and went back to the old man’s porch. And he saw the pictures of the wife and baby was a sign that he was with them
One of my favorite songs and everytime I listen to it I get tears, there's something spiritual about that song in the way Ronnie Dunn sings it. It's deep and beautiful for sure, I can understand why you reacted the way that you did because you were listening to it for the very first time. You'll have to step back and take another listen to it before you react.
I needed to hear this. When I lost my 95 year old mother in 2005 (I was fifty-five) I felt Ihad received her strong faith. Some losses have shaken it, but this song fills me with this pure faith. I identify with this bond and miracle. Precious! ❤🙏!
It is a beautiful tale, straight from the singer's life. The man knew he would see his family on the other side. To quote the movie, The Green Mile, "we all owe a life".
In 6 years I lost 2 Aunts, 2 cousins, both my surviving Grandparents, and an Uncle. This song chokes me up every time. If you have family or friends close to you, spend every moment you can with them because they are gone all too soon.
This song speaks on many levels. Reminder... country is story ... every song (pre pop) it is supposed to make you feel .. and if you do then you know you have a hit. Wait until you get to George Jones ... "He stopped loving her today" ... you will get there ... and once you do ... it's crazy how it makes me feel ....
If a song can bring a smile to your face or a tear to your eyes, then the writer and singer have done their job to leave a lasting memory in your soul you will always remember. Great song and video.
I know it gets to you, but to me the key is the line where he says, after finding out about the old man's passing, "I didn't know whether to cry or laugh."(3:14) Cry--that's obvious. But why would he laugh? Because he knows the old man is reunited with his wife and son, just like he said. Hang on to that piece, and you can find the sweetness in the sadness. That's why we ALL need to be watching this right now. With so much sadness out there, we have to be able to find the sweetness.
Love is color blind. There is more to this life than just what we can see. However, happy that those that have left us are not gone, just gone ahead. George
Yes this is his true story if him as a young man growing up. The comment below is right also that you will RARELY hear him sing or even talk about this song because he gets choked up. Great reaction my guy, beautiful song and this song will humble you. Don't take your days for granted, soak them all in. SALUTE Fam.
Your sensitivity shows what a solid man you are. The video challenges to give something of ourselves to the next generation. This man likely taught that little boy stuff like changing his oil in the truck. Or how to fish. The greatest gift he gave that little boy was lifelong friendship and the previous commodity of his time.
In 2020 my Momma passed from cancer. During our last few months together she requested this song (and only song she requested) to be played at her funeral. I had never heard it, and couldn't/didn't listen to it until the day she passed. I cried like a baby. I BELIEVE Momma. And I KNOW it doesn't all end with a ride in a hearse. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life...and the only way to the Father. I had a dream just a year or so before Mom got sick (or really we just didnt know yet 😔) that I was at her house at her feet crying and telling her I forgave her for the past, I repented for the things I did and said that did not honor her over the years and then I washed her feet. Then I woke up. That day I text her and told her what God laid on my heart. I said to her what I said in the dream and she said she said she loved me and she wished she could hear it every day. (I didnt mention washing her feet, she probably would have thought I was weird or something lol) Fast forward to 2020 and we found out she was sick. 3 months later she was paralyzed from the waist down (due to the cancer spreading). I took her in to take care of her. She didnt want that because she didnt want to put me through that, but I said no, you are my Momma and nobody will take care of you like someone who loves you. So she stayed. (Plus she cooked in a nursing home for over 20 years and knew how they treated patient's.) Anyway, it wasnt until one day I was giving her a sponge bath and got on the floor to wash her feet that I realized God restored our relationship and humbled me like never before... washing my mommas feet. She passed 2 days before my 40th birthday. One of the best moments was when I was helping her and she looked me in the eyes and said "Thank you for loving me so much". 😭💖 It wasn't always easy, she was "stubborn as a mule", as they say, but she was a fighter. Always was. All I could do was LOVE HER LIKE JESUS. So thats what I did. By the grace of God.
I cry… every time I watch this …I lost my brother. His skin color was not the same. His mother, was mine. We loved each other. When I walk across that line. He’s the first I want to hug
As an Army Veteran i have to request Tim McGraw “If You’re ReadingThis.” (There is no Official Video) There is one that he performs it live but if you cant find it there are plenty of tribute type videos. Get you’re Kleenex!
Yes!!! Beautiful!!! We all go to that great place another work where they can chill with loved ones !!! My dad just died but I believe it’s a great world up there
What pisses me off are the politicians and media trying to separate us. I came from terrible childhood, white. It was an older black woman that taught me how to raise my children.
I would sometimes play this song on the drive with my sons to my ex wife drop off or pick up , they would say play it again dad.. twice was bout all I could do and drive too. Follow this up with Pink Floyd- "Time" .
You do that and call your mom! Sometimes we all need a to have something get us into our feelings. This world can bl8nd us at times of what's important...
It's a true story. Absolutely heartwarming. Caring and sharing Love and Knowledge. Talk to the Old Folk. They have so much insight and wisdom and life lessons learned.
The song is sad from an earthly perspective, but from a heavenly plane it's a beautiful song of hope. You said it made you want to call your Mama. Do it. As often as you can do it. I lost my Grandmother in December. I call my mom almost daily. Life is fast and short. We must make the most of every second and spend as much time with our loved ones as we can.
Old man had life lessons to pass on but his son had passed. Child growing up with single Mom and no father figure needs to hear and see what being a man is. Enter two people put together by God's design for each other. Off Ronnie went to college, figuring that Mom and the only father figure he ever knew would be there forever. I cannot fathom the loss he must have felt learning his mentor had passed. Heartbreaking the way Ronnie sings about growing up
You are witnessing the true story of singer Ronnie Dunns childhood. The song is beautiful on its own but the story video and Ronnie's bluesy/gospel voice brings it home!! They rarely perform it live because of how deeply Ronnie's connection to old man Wrigley was...it has shaped him as a person and a man. He saw no age or color barriers...this is truth at its finest. Brooks and Dunn have like 11 albums and are gems of country so pick a song...any song!! PS ..I like how you show the video bigger instead of tiny in the corner!
I bet if I tell you Boot Scootin Boogie, you may know another Brooks and Dunn song. They are wonderful. Ronnie Dunn's voice is amazing. This song is sad but also very hopeful.
Yeah. So hard to watch and feel but thank you so much for your reaction. I kinda feel like anyone who doesn't feel this - well, I have to question that person. lol, thanks again.
As a country girl born and raised.. an ppl saying that we as country ppl are racist.. it's so untrue. So Untrue.. I hate that ppl compartmentalized as racists. We've all grown up with stuff.. but I know that from where I'm from.. we judge you on the person you are. not color. and I'm from a predominately white town.. Again.. who you are as a person.. that's what I care about. That's what we all should care about..end of story
People are way more alike than they are different. I was always taught when I was feeling grief or feeling sorry for myself that there was plenty of others that have it a lot worse than I do.
I can't take it! Every time I hear this song the tears come streaming. lol I have another country music artist I think you will enjoy listening too. "TYLER CHILDERS - NOSE ON THE GRINDSTONE" Hope you give him a listen! Thanks

This is a true story from Ronnie Dunn's childhood. He says he rarely sings it live because his voice breaks every time. That old man must have really meant a lot to him.
Sorry Bruce, not true
It is a true story!!
@@brendalee1028Nope sorry it isn't
Ronnie Dunn came from a single mom home and this man was a great male role model in his life. He wrote this as a tribute to him.
That’s awesome thanks for that information didn’t know that
I was hoping someone had already said it. God brought them together to fill that father/son role. So beautiful!
Dang. I still cry every time I watch this.... So beautiful. Isn't his voice amazing??
The sadness is palpable, but this song is also deeply hopeful for people of faith, like Mr. Wrigley.
Yes this song was very touching
Amen.
I can't say how many times I have heard and seen this video. I cried every time. It's the song and the singer and the visuals. Believers are comforted in sorrow. It's sad because there is love
This is a true story about the singer ronnie dunn.🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕💕
I didn't know that! No wonder it touches so many hearts.
Yes mame.🤩🤩
Always thought when he ran away from the funeral and went back to the old man’s porch. And he saw the pictures of the wife and baby was a sign that he was with them
I like to think Old Man Wrigley opened that Bible to the page with the photo to show Ronnie that he was reunited with his wife and son at last.
That was my thought on that too.
I was hoping that's what they were portraying too.
One of my favorite songs and everytime I listen to it I get tears, there's something spiritual about that song in the way Ronnie Dunn sings it. It's deep and beautiful for sure, I can understand why you reacted the way that you did because you were listening to it for the very first time. You'll have to step back and take another listen to it before you react.
Yes this song is deep and a tear jerker def
Pain & sadness, yes. But also hope & faith. The simple story this song tells, encapsulates all of that. Beautiful.💙
I needed to hear this. When I lost my 95 year old mother in 2005 (I was fifty-five) I felt Ihad received her strong faith. Some losses have shaken it, but this song fills me with this pure faith. I identify with this bond and miracle. Precious! ❤🙏!

This was so sad but a good song
True life experience ot the singer Ronnie Dunn.
Wow and it’s a true life examples it even deeper
Love your heatfelt reaction. I cry everytime I watch this, I believe. This song is like going to church.
Yes this song is super touching can’t lie
True story of the man singing. It is sad but yet so beautiful
The song is beautiful. They found hope.
In 6 years I lost 2 Aunts, 2 cousins, both my surviving Grandparents, and an Uncle. This song chokes me up every time. If you have family or friends close to you, spend every moment you can with them because they are gone all too soon.
Amen, Galerios, Amen
You have to believe what you can’t see. 🙏🏻
Facts
The line « Words written in red » refers to the fact that in some Bibles the words of Christ are written in red.
This is a true story. The lead singer lived it ❤
Man that’s wild
This song speaks on many levels. Reminder... country is story ... every song (pre pop) it is supposed to make you feel .. and if you do then you know you have a hit.

If a song can bring a smile to your face or a tear to your eyes, then
the writer and singer have done their job to leave a lasting memory in
your soul you will always remember. Great song and video.
Country music can definitely bring out the feels.
Country music has a way of making feel.
Yea it does
Ronnie Dunn has one of the best voices in all of music.
(aka) DJ Whisper ~ The one singing is Ronnie Dunn. That song is a true story that happened in his life. Beautifully done.
Yes this video was amazing
Def enjoyed and def got to me
Thanks for watching

He is from Louisiana.... He is a very good person.... This gets you all in your feelings😭
Yea it does can’t lie
There was pain at the loss yet hope for the future. This life isn't the end.
Ronnie Dunn is the singer....what a voice. This is a true story. Ronnie knew and loved this old man as a kid. TRUE STORY
Very powerful song about faith and love, always brings tears. But I still listen. Beauty you can't help it. Enjoy
Yes this was a very powerful song I can’t lie it messed me up that day
Yes this is his true story if him as a young man growing up. The comment below is right also that you will RARELY hear him sing or even talk about this song because he gets choked up. Great reaction my guy, beautiful song and this song will humble you. Don't take your days for granted, soak them all in. SALUTE Fam.
Love your comment thank you
Appreciate you watching
This song/video is supernatural. It BLASTS straight past the emotions into the soul. Amazing on every level.
Your sensitivity shows what a solid man you are. The video challenges to give something of ourselves to the next generation. This man likely taught that little boy stuff like changing his oil in the truck. Or how to fish. The greatest gift he gave that little boy was lifelong friendship and the previous commodity of his time.
I really appreciate your comment thank you
And thanks for watching
Every time hear this beautiful song I always cry !!!💖
this is one heck of a video. If someone watches this and doesn't get at least a lil choked up...then you have no soul.
I’m with you there
There is so much hurt but also so much hope in this song.

I cry… every time I watch this …I lost my brother. His skin color was not the same. His mother, was mine. We loved each other. When I walk across that line. He’s the first I want to hug
As an Army Veteran i have to request Tim McGraw “If You’re ReadingThis.” (There is no Official Video) There is one that he performs it live but if you cant find it there are plenty of tribute type videos. Get you’re Kleenex!
My Favorite all time song! It will be played at my funeral!
Yes!!! Beautiful!!! We all go to that great place another work where they can chill with loved ones !!! My dad just died but I believe it’s a great world up there
I’m sorry for your loss hope all is well with you
I have heard this song a million times, and it still gets to me.
Most beautiful voice in country music ever! Ronnie Dunn’s voice! Check out his solo album! One of the best is we all bleed red, also, cost of living
What pisses me off are the politicians and media trying to separate us. I came from terrible childhood, white. It was an older black woman that taught me how to raise my children.
This is a painful song but it puts out the hope we will meet everyone after death. Beautiful.
Yes you are so right
To remember ones that have passed,, look up Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton,,, WHEN I GET WHERE IM GOING
Ok I’ll look into that too
I would sometimes play this song on the drive with my sons to my ex wife drop off or pick up , they would say play it again dad..
twice was bout all I could do and drive too.
Follow this up with Pink Floyd- "Time" .
This song is def sad def got me
No hurt in these words....only hope....
I have heard this song about hundred times and every time I cry.
Maybe the best reaction I've ever heard. We got to peek inside you for a brief second, bro.
Man that song really touched me
Before Ronnie Dunn went into music, he was a youth pastor, so his feelings in this song are genuine.
It makes you think
It really does
You do that and call your mom! Sometimes we all need a to have something get us into our feelings. This world can bl8nd us at times of what's important...
Yea the world is nuts right now so we do need a little of this
It's a true story. Absolutely heartwarming. Caring and sharing Love and Knowledge. Talk to the Old Folk. They have so much insight and wisdom and life lessons learned.
I've heard of Brooks & Dunn but have never listened to their music. I don't care for country music but that was a Beautiful song.
Yes this song was amazing def touching
The song is sad from an earthly perspective, but from a heavenly plane it's a beautiful song of hope. You said it made you want to call your Mama. Do it. As often as you can do it. I lost my Grandmother in December. I call my mom almost daily. Life is fast and short. We must make the most of every second and spend as much time with our loved ones as we can.
Thanks for your comment yes life def is fast and short I def called my mom
Old man had life lessons to pass on but his son had passed.
Child growing up with single Mom and no father figure needs to hear and see what being a man is.
Enter two people put together by God's design for each other.

I you don’t get a tear in your eye...you ain’t got no soul! 😥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Totally feel that
OMG!! What a beautiful and heartbreaking song!
Yes very sad 😢
One of my favorites. A beautiful song with a beautiful message.
Another song like this is Tim magraw's don't take the girl, but one that is likely to make you smile is ac/dc's big balls
It’s exactly what you need right now.
World is def in a crazy place
Mr. Wrigley practically raised Ronnie, who grew up fatherless. They were very close
This song was awesome but def got me
ITS a song of victory and hope
Amazing song but super sad
I bet if I tell you Boot Scootin Boogie, you may know another Brooks and Dunn song. They are wonderful. Ronnie Dunn's voice is amazing. This song is sad but also very hopeful.
Love Brooks and Dunn... from a Kentucky girl....
They’re a country group!! Nice Reaction!!
Thanks for watching t
It gets me every time too! 😭😢
This is the way we should all care about each other. Beautiful song and video.
Facts
Thanks for watching you are so right
I got to see Brooks and Dunn in concert a long time ago, and to see them play this live is amazing.
Awesome you got to see them live must of been some atmosphere
@@dubzer0649 It for sure was. One of the best shows I have ever seen.
This is a true story about a man Ronnie Dunn, the lead singer, was friends with when he was a boy!
Great song really touched me
This man has said that he can't sing this live without his voice cracking.
The joy of seeing our love ones again ...how happy we will be...its happiness! Not sas!
I don't feel hurt n pain.... I feel Hope
I cry like a baby every time I hear it.
I bet this song is so touching
Yeah. So hard to watch and feel but thank you so much for your reaction. I kinda feel like anyone who doesn't feel this - well, I have to question that person. lol, thanks again.
You got to hear Willie Nelson's "Just Breathe"
I love the fact that you said little boy and old man. No black or white. Why I subscribed!!!
Thanks for being here I appreciate you

Super sad
People are way more alike than they are different. I was always taught when I was feeling grief or feeling sorry for myself that there was plenty of others that have it a lot worse than I do.
I Believe...I lost my Dad a few months ago
There's also so much hope and faith...
I knew you would like it! I've always loved being around older folks. I have an old soul
Really enjoyed it but made me sad for a few hours
I feel you brother.
Ronnie Dunn is the singer and Kix Brooks is the guitar player. They are Brooks & Dunn. This is based on Ronnie' life.
Do Whiskey Lullaby. Another tear jerker.
I’ll check it out thanks for recommending
Boot Scootin Boogy. You'll love it!
