Underrated?...I always thought of him in the same league as Hank jr, The Possum, George Strait, Rand Travis, Alan Jackson, and all the other legends of country..
Was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains of East Tn. Could not WAIT to get out of these mountains. Joined the Navy, spent 20 + years running around the world. I finally realized I was home sick for those same mountains. When I got out of the Navy, I couldn’t get back into those mountains far enough. Live and learn.
I was raised in the Mountains of East Tennessee as well. I moved up north immediately after high school in 2007. By 2011 the city life got old and i moved back home to Tennessee and havnt left since.
Bigcountry believes in what used to be will be again and what we believe in will stay the same.were we come from can't be taken from us.And under God we all will bring back old ways of family ortented life.Bigcountry will work hard to help to keep it that way.I am not super man but I believe in the music man team.they are great.i love them for being great people. I have bought a lot of great memories for the people to remember those of there past and love ones. It's important to me and I know it is important to them.Bigcountry said so
I was station manager and part time DJ at a regional radio station in southern Missouri. We played real country music. When the owner sold us I'm not sure what they play now but I think is probably isn't the real thing. I don't miss the hard work but I sure do miss the music.
my husband got me into country music Travis was the 1st! Jerry was a farmboy and I a city girl and this was one song he would sing! Lost Jerry 2 years ago at age of 53 but thanks Travis for being a part of my memories with him xx 26 yrs of true love xxx
AT 8 YEARS OLD,AND SPENDING SUMMER ON A SMALL FARM WITH MY MA AND POW PA, AND SEEING HOW THEY WORKED IN THE FIELD,AND SEEING POW PA GET STRUNG COLLECTING HONEY,AND MA, PUTTING IT IN JARS TO SAVE AND SELL,AND WATCHING HER CHURN CREAM TO MAKE BUTTER, SOME SHE SOLD NEIGHBORS FOR A QUARTER, CHILDREN SHOULD BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THESE THINGS AND LEARN HOW TO RAISE A GARDEN AND HARVEST IT,AND MILK A COW FOR MILK TO PUT ON THEIR CORN FLAKES.😂❤❤❤😂😂
I hope you had a great harvest!! This year was good for us!! Had some rain a lot in September /October for pumpkins and cornstalks, but it turned out to be pretty good!! GOD BLESS!!
Exactly. Kinda reminds me of a line from ‘Vikings’ when the lead character says he misses the farm and wishes he could go back there. After wanting nothing more than to conquer the world, after you’ve tried, all you want sometimes is to go back to when life were simple.
I SAW TRAVIS IN A LITTLE TOWN NEAR ME....JORDAN NY.....IF THERE IS A TRUCK PARKED DOWNTOWN IT BLOCKS GETTING A PHOTO....I AM SUCH A COUNTRY BOY AND RETIRED OLD BOY NOW....MY 5 KIDS HAVE ALL GONE FOR JOBS IN THE BIG CITIES.....THIS SONG HITS IT ON THE HEAD, BUT ALSO DON'T STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR KIDS DREAMS....THEY HAVE ALL DONE GREAT.
This song is my dads fav I lost him at seventeen he was 49 and we come from a farm family 16 brothers one sister on my dads side 13 on my moms side so this song hit right on the mail cause I was only 17 when I lost my father share if you like
Being from Midwestern Illinois, this hits hard. All Im surrounded by is bean and corn fields. One stoplight kind of town. Travis came and played at our county fair a few years ago, everyone was singing along to this song.
Travis Kickin It ! One thing about Travis’ music people Today don’t realize is , THIS IS MUSIC PEOPLE CAN DANCE TO!! There is almost NO so called Country music put out today people can COUNTRY Dance to ! A twang , fiddle or pedal steel DON’T make it Country! But then , producers today don’t care if it’s country, all they see are dollar signs! Thanks Travis !
James Travis Tritt (born February 9, 1963) is an American country music singer, songwriter, and actor. He signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1989, releasing seven studio albums and a greatest hits package for the label between then and 1999. In the 2000s, he released two albums on Columbia Records and one for the now defunct Category 5 Records. Seven of his albums (counting the Greatest Hits) are certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America. James Travis Tritt was born on February 9, 1963 in Marietta, Georgia, to James and Gwen Tritt. He first took interest in singing after his church's Sunday school choir performed "Everything Is Beautiful."[3] He received his first guitar at age eight and taught himself how to play it; in the fourth grade, he performed "Annie's Song" and "King of the Road" for his class, and later got invited to play for other classrooms in his school.[4] At age fourteen, his parents bought him another guitar, and he learned more songs from his uncle, Sam Lockhart.[5] Later on, Tritt joined his church band, which occasionally performed at other churches nearby.[6] Tritt began writing music while he was attending Sprayberry High School; his first song composition, entitled "Spend a Little Time", was written about a girlfriend whom he had broken up with.[7] He performed this song for his friends, one of whom complimented him on his songwriting skills.[8] He also founded a bluegrass group with some of his friends, and won second place in a local tournament for playing "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys".[9] During his teenage years, Tritt worked at a furniture store, and later as a supermarket clerk. He lived with his mother after she and his father divorced; they remarried each other when he was eighteen.[10] He worked at an air conditioning company while playing in clubs, but gave up the air conditioning job at the suggestion of one of his bandmates.[11] Tritt's father thought that Tritt would not find success as a musician, while his mother thought that he should perform Christian music instead of country.[1] Through the assistance of Warner Bros. Records executive Danny Davenport, Tritt began recording demos. The two worked together for the next several years, eventually putting together a demo album called Proud of the Country.[1][12] Davenport sent the demo to Warner Bros. representatives in Los Angeles, who in turn sent the demo to Warner Bros.' Nashville division, which signed Tritt in 1987.[13] Davenport also helped Tritt find a talent manager, Ken Kragen. At first, Kragen was "not interested in taking an entry-level act," but he decided to sign on as Tritt's manager after Kragen's wife convinced him.[14] Tritt's first acting role was in the 1993 made-for-television movie Rio Diablo.[68] In 1994, Tritt made a special appearance as a bull rider in the movie The Cowboy Way, which starred Woody Harrelson and Kiefer Sutherland. In 1995, he appeared in season 6 of the horror anthology series Tales from the Crypt in the episode called Doctor of Horror. He also starred in a guest role on Yes, Dear as a rehabilitating criminal.[69] The following year, Tritt appeared as himself in Sgt. Bilko, which starred Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman;[70] Tritt's cover of "Only You (And You Alone)" appeared in the film's soundtrack.[71] He also made an appearance in the 1997 film Fire Down Below, starring Steven Seagal and Kris Kristofferson.[72] In 1998, In 1999 tritt appeared in outlaw justice with willie nelson, waylon Jennings, and kris Kristofferson .Tritt appeared in the film Blues Brothers 2000 as one of the Louisiana Gator Boys. Finally, In September 2010, filming began on a movie called Fishers of Men, a Christian film.[73] Regarding his songwriting style and single choices, Tritt said that he writes "strictly from personal experiences" and does not follow a particular formula.[79] He described "Here's a Quarter" as "one of the simplest three-chord waltzes I've ever written,"[80] and said that label executives were reluctant to release it because they thought that it was a novelty song.[81] Also, he was told that "I'm Gonna Be Somebody" would not be a hit because it did not contain any rhymes,[82] and fought the release of the song "Country Club" because he did not think that it fit his style.[83] He also said that, despite their low peaks, the more rock-influenced "Put Some Drive in Your Country" and "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" helped generate sales for their respective albums more so than the top ten hits from those albums.[84] Tritt married his high school sweetheart, Karen Ryon,[85] in September 1982, and moved into an apartment with her. They stayed together for two years, while Tritt worked at an air conditioning company and Karen at a Burger King, and divorced two years later.[86] After going to court, Tritt was ordered to pay alimony to Karen for six months.[87] When he was 21, he married a woman named Jodi Barnett,[88] who was 33 at the time.[89] He divorced her shortly after signing with Warner Bros. in 1989; the divorce finalized one month before "Country Club" was released. Tritt wrote the song "Here's a Quarter" the night he received his divorce papers.[90] He married Theresa Nelson on April 12, 1997.[48] They have two sons: Tristan James (born June 16, 1999) and Tarian Nathaniel (born November 20, 2003),[91] and one daughter, Tyler Reese (born February 18, 1998).[48] Political views and advocacy Tritt is a member of the Republican Party and supported George W. Bush for President in 2000. The two met in 1996 at the Republican National Convention in San Diego, California, where Tritt sang the national anthem.[92] Tritt told Insight on the News, that he is a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights and believes the answer to crime is not gun control but criminal control. "I'm a pro-gun guy. I'm an NRA National Rifle Association member, a life member as a matter of fact. I'm more for the belief of making the punishment tougher for the criminals to start with. I think that sends much more of an incentive for people to not commit crimes of any type than taking away guns. Because you take away guns, and the next thing you know, stabbing murders are going to increase." He adds that he is "definitely pro-death penalty."[93]
My favorite Travis Tritt song of all time.This song has so much depth and meaning to me.I was born and raised in the country but now live in the city.Oh how I long for those days spent in the woods and rolling fields with the pond and creeks.When I retire,I'm going back to my roots and the quiet life for sure.
@@travistritt-jo4qo Hey Travis,I've been a fan of yours since I first heard the song "Help Me Hold On" back in late 1989 or very early 1990.I have always liked your personality,style,creativity and you are an amazingly talented musician as well.I am drawn to the outlaw brand of country music and you remind me alot of Waylon Jennings(another personal favorite).Your songs are very relatable and I have enjoyed them over the many years.I really liked the collaborations with Marty Stuart and John Mellencamp.Congratulations on the release of the upcoming "Proud Of Our Country" album.I hope that it does really well for you.Is that going to be released on CD?I hope so.I am still old school(CD player) when it comes to listening to music.I hope to see you out on the road sometime and may God watch over you and bless you always,Travis.
A great country ballad song Travis Tritt has a strong beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart great guitar player great song writer. Travis Tritt is one of the greatest country singer in country music. Still rocking today 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
I was a freshman at a small College in West Virginia named Concord located in The town of Athens Mr. Titty was on his "Here's a Quarter Tour" I was an injured Football player , had been depressed for about a month seeing my future as a football player fading away quickly due to injury but his concert gave me one good evening ofistening to his music and for around three hours or so , well all was right in my world as well as those who also attended the concert Thank You Travis Titty for stopping at a small school in West Virginia and brightening this now old man's dark days at college!
On July 4th, 2009, my oldest brother and I played and sang this song at my sisters, for Dad. Within 5 minutes of finishing, there was a double rainbow in the Eastern sky. 5 days later, Dad passed away of congestive heart failure, 50 days short of his 91st birthday. My brother had been wanting to do it for Dad for some time. This was the first chance we had to play together while Dad was there.
As a single mom moving to Nashville from Minnesota 24 yrs ago, I had a dream of being 'someone day' and listened to Travis Tritt CD, the whole drive! Love you, Travis ❤
I saw him at a small venue in MN a few years back...he played this song ..I was in the front of the stage..yelling . WHERE CORN DONT GROW!...he heard..looked at me and it is one of the best memories of my life..reminds me of my dad..and his corn fields..❤
I love this song so much !!! It reminds me of my Dad.... cause I left home at 17 ....and I know it broke my Dads heart. :( Happy Father's Day to all Dad's.... mine is resting in heaven. God Bless.
You don't know how many times I listen to this song and it reminds me when I was a boy getting ready to go in the Navy and how my dad didn't want me to go but he took me anyhow to the airport I always remember him turning around and I watched as he walked away wiping tears from his eyes
This song has such a great message and learning curve,and the message from a father to his young son,the world is a big place and ,for a young man, everything looks great,but trying to survive,and the teaching of life's lessons and important it is listening to your parents about how hard Life is,and teaching what's right and what is wrong and don't try growing up too fast, because Life seems to be always in the fast lane!!!!!!
Travis sounds perfect live ...puts on the best show you will ever see. 35 years of loving this man. Anyone that can write and perform music this good is a gift from God. I have no idea how many times and how many cities I have traveled to see him live....unmistakably the best concert I have ever been to. Definitely no autotune here...he sounds perfect live or recorded. Love you Travis
There's country, there's rock, then there's Travis Tritt. He's a ROCKSTAR with his own genre. Watch him shred that guitar. You just don't see this anymore with new country. And what emotions he sings and performs with.
this song can be for city and country folks. when I was 7/8 I told my dad I hate the city I want to live in the country. when I turned 17 I joined the army and never lived in a city again. no regrets 50 -+ later. just follow your heart.
@@farmdog3713 I was born and raised on the farm. Married a country boy. We left that life when we were 40 years old. A great life to raise a family. It’s in your blood. Working 9-5 is much easier. City people have no clue what it’s like to work as farm life. No regrets. We were proud. But life lead us too another life. Love that country music❣️❣️❣️
Man this is what you call Country Music! How do you know? Because you feel it in every piece of your body and it shakes your soul!!! Country is coming back because I won’t rest until I bring it back in honour of the greats, like Travis!
Kelan I would love to see you singing songs like Travis Tritt sings and stop letting your producer determining what you sing you would be a great country music singer if you would I love you man do like Travis did follow in your hero's steps
Met him one night in Lowell, Massachusetts at Tsongas arena back stage. I was in the Marines and he was incredibly nice. I’ve always liked his music. They say don’t meet your heroes but in This case it could be farther from the truth. GREAT GUY
I'm an east coast boy who got moved on before he knew what he was leaving... the fields are the nets and the dusty field are the empty bays.... tell me I'm wrong. Been there so you will never convince me of the difference. Seen Travis live in medicine hat AB and it was probably the best show ever in my life.
A storyteller with a voice you could never tire of listening too. Authenticity by the truck load and all from a man who clearly and genuinely loves what he does…. Definitely all about the show 100%
At least RUclips can help me maintain my sanity I can escape the present and flee back to the past to REAL COUNTRY MUSIC wooooooo 😭🎶🎶🎶 wooooooo Johnny from Alabama
Waylon would approve for sure
Yes he would
@@elseMa5194and yall will approve of shaboozy and Beyoncé
Ñow thats real country!
Well now you have shaboozy and. Beyoncé and you WILL ACCEPT IT
American Country Man...YEAH....
I’m 67 and I figured out a long time ago. There ain’t nothing out there for me, where corn don’t grow.
You got that right
The song literally blows me away
Real man , A Real country artist.
No one out there the same!!
That kind of heart and Soul is not in the new acts.
He lives, Waylon lives through Travis!
WRONG....
Travis Tritt may be the most underrated country singer ever. But close to the top in my book.
Literally nobody thinks he’s underrated.
And guitar picker. He is true pure talent. 🇺🇸
Underrated?...I always thought of him in the same league as Hank jr, The Possum, George Strait, Rand Travis, Alan Jackson, and all the other legends of country..
Gary Stewart is the most under rated
Travis triit
“You know this old world is full of singers, but just a few are chosen to tear your heart out when they sing...” Enter Travis Tritt!
I agree
Wonderful George Jones reference
I agree
Your life is full of dusty fields! That is an under statement !
Who's gonna fill their shoes ... yep
As an old farmer this song really hits home !
Dam that boy can play now that's country music.
the rest of the troubled world could learn alot if they would listen to travis tritt!!!
Was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains of East Tn. Could not WAIT to get out of these mountains. Joined the Navy, spent 20 + years running around the world. I finally realized I was home sick for those same mountains. When I got out of the Navy, I couldn’t get back into those mountains far enough. Live and learn.
Old memories are hard to shake. At times we think they were our worst days,then we move along and realize it’s what makes us into who we are.
I was raised in the Mountains of East Tennessee as well. I moved up north immediately after high school in 2007. By 2011 the city life got old and i moved back home to Tennessee and havnt left since.
This is REAL COUNTRY!! I hate all the pop shit they pass off as country these days. THANK YOU MR. TRITT!!
Bigcountry believes in what used to be will be again and what we believe in will stay the same.were we come from can't be taken from us.And under God we all will bring back old ways of family ortented life.Bigcountry will work hard to help to keep it that way.I am not super man but I believe in the music man team.they are great.i love them for being great people. I have bought a lot of great memories for the people to remember those of there past and love ones. It's important to me and I know it is important to them.Bigcountry said so
I was station manager and part time DJ at a regional radio station in southern Missouri. We played real country music. When the owner sold us I'm not sure what they play now but I think is probably isn't the real thing. I don't miss the hard work but I sure do miss the music.

Love ya Granny
I hope you had a great harvest!! This year was good for us!! Had some rain a lot in September /October for pumpkins and cornstalks, but it turned out to be pretty good!! GOD BLESS!!
This is the story of every young person. We all think we have it all figured out. And then we grow up and realize that wisdom comes with time.
Im truly sorry 💔
Exactly. Kinda reminds me of a line from ‘Vikings’ when the lead character says he misses the farm and wishes he could go back there. After wanting nothing more than to conquer the world, after you’ve tried, all you want sometimes is to go back to when life were simple.
That right I thought I new it all... after mother when home with the God. I left and didn't look back....
Knowledge can be given but wisdom is earned ...in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades and centuries.
Truer words never spoken!
I SAW TRAVIS IN A LITTLE TOWN NEAR ME....JORDAN NY.....IF THERE IS A TRUCK PARKED DOWNTOWN IT BLOCKS GETTING A PHOTO....I AM SUCH A COUNTRY BOY AND RETIRED OLD BOY NOW....MY 5 KIDS HAVE ALL GONE FOR JOBS IN THE BIG CITIES.....THIS SONG HITS IT ON THE HEAD, BUT ALSO DON'T STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR KIDS DREAMS....THEY HAVE ALL DONE GREAT.
GOD GAVE US TRAVIS
And then shaboozy and Beyoncé
I played in a country band for 16 years, I played Mandolin & Fiddle, We did this song a lot, Best 16 years of my life.

I was a freshman at a small College in West Virginia named Concord located in The town of Athens Mr. Titty was on his "Here's a Quarter Tour" I was an injured Football player , had been depressed for about a month seeing my future as a football player fading away quickly due to injury but his concert gave me one good evening ofistening to his music and for around three hours or so , well all was right in my world as well as those who also attended the concert Thank You Travis Titty for stopping at a small school in West Virginia and brightening this now old man's dark days at college!
On July 4th, 2009, my oldest brother and I played and sang this song at my sisters, for Dad. Within 5 minutes of finishing, there was a double rainbow in the Eastern sky.
5 days later, Dad passed away of congestive heart failure, 50 days short of his 91st birthday.
My brother had been wanting to do it for Dad for some time. This was the first chance we had to play together while Dad was there.
Thank you for your continuous love and support Charles ❤❤
For how long have you been a fan of mine (Charles Tucker)
The strings, the voice.. man.
Hello Audrey how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Todays country cant hold a candle to this not even in the same league .todays singers should call him for advice lol.
True statement I agree 1000% !!
As a single mom moving to Nashville from Minnesota 24 yrs ago, I had a dream of being 'someone day' and listened to Travis Tritt CD, the whole drive!
Love you, Travis ❤
I saw him at a small venue in MN a few years back...he played this song ..I was in the front of the stage..yelling . WHERE CORN DONT GROW!...he heard..looked at me and it is one of the best memories of my life..reminds me of my dad..and his corn fields..❤
Standing crowd!! Travis never disappoints when he takes the stage!! I’m continually trying to find REAL COUNTRY MUSIC ! Well, here IT IS !!
Saw him in Brookings, SD a couple nights ago. He is just amazing now as he was back in the early 90's.
Did anyone else watch this 12 times in a row on max volume? Absolute perfection! Travis rules!
yep 12 times plus 4 just cant stop listenning to it to be honest not sure why ?? Yep good but something more ????
Yes, every time I come to this song. I'm a big time Travis's Fan.
Rick Gillard man he has the most under rated voice in music. Me and my wife have been listening to him for 30 years. Seen him 7 times in concert.
Awesome
Awesomeness Job my wife and I rocking to it
He's the best singer out there.hes the man
Powerful song....love his music...none better....
Born on a farm and have been so glad that I was..........gave me a work ethic that has lasted 77 years..........!
It don't get no more country than that right there.
I love this song so much !!! It reminds me of my Dad.... cause I left home at 17 ....and I know it broke my Dads heart. :( Happy Father's Day to all Dad's.... mine is resting in heaven. God Bless.
Hello
Thanks for the support and comments, it's my out most pleasure having you here
Lots of energy down to earth ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Travis is one of the best country singer around.
This reminds me when grow up . My Daddy works every day on farm ❤
You don't know how many times I listen to this song and it reminds me when I was a boy getting ready to go in the Navy and how my dad didn't want me to go but he took me anyhow to the airport I always remember him turning around and I watched as he walked away wiping tears from his eyes
This song has such a great message and learning curve,and the message from a father to his young son,the world is a big place and ,for a young man, everything looks great,but trying to survive,and the teaching of life's lessons and important it is listening to your parents about how hard Life is,and teaching what's right and what is wrong and don't try growing up too fast, because Life seems to be always in the fast lane!!!!!!
Travis sounds perfect live ...puts on the best show you will ever see. 35 years of loving this man. Anyone that can write and perform music this good is a gift from God.
I have no idea how many times and how many cities I have traveled to see him live....unmistakably the best concert I have ever been to. Definitely no autotune here...he sounds perfect live or recorded.
Love you Travis
Best concert I’ve ever been to…..I love a lot of different genres of music but Travis Tritt is on another level
This was originally written and sung by Waylon Jennings
@@williamtroy1612Roger Murrah and Mark Alan Springer wrote it, Waylon sang it. Great song no matter who’s singing it.
2:53 ‘there’s dusty fields no matter where you go’. ❤️’d how Mr. Tritt delivered that line=soulful
There's country, there's rock, then there's Travis Tritt. He's a ROCKSTAR with his own genre. Watch him shred that guitar. You just don't see this anymore with new country. And what emotions he sings and performs with.
No one's better live that's still alive now. A serious Performer who always gives u your monies worth.
WEEDS ARE High where Corn don't Grow, Alot of Truth to that
you can change corn for anything and it will fit any persons hard times. a song we can all relate too...
this song can be for city and country folks. when I was 7/8 I told my dad I hate the city I want to live in the country. when I turned 17 I joined the army and never lived in a city again. no regrets 50 -+ later. just follow your heart.
Right on!!
@@farmdog3713 I was born and raised on the farm. Married a country boy. We left that life when we were 40 years old. A great life to raise a family. It’s in your blood. Working 9-5 is much easier. City people have no clue what it’s like to work as farm life. No regrets. We were proud. But life lead us too another life. Love that country music❣️❣️❣️
Agreed
Will born in 53, went to South East Asia in 73, came back the farm was gone
Travis Tritt music treat is therapeutic
No doubt the most underrated country artist of all time and I hate it cause he’s one of the greats
Reminds one of shaboozy and Beyoncé
The most heart full song for me and maybe Travis too
The man, I live where the corn does grow
This song reminds me so much of my late father i miss so much
Travis Trit and many others are true country singers
Man this is what you call Country Music! How do you know? Because you feel it in every piece of your body and it shakes your soul!!! Country is coming back because I won’t rest until I bring it back in honour of the greats, like Travis!
Kelan I would love to see you singing songs like Travis Tritt sings and stop letting your producer determining what you sing you would be a great country music singer if you would I love you man do like Travis did follow in your hero's steps
I'm a metalhead first then maybe hip hop seconds but do I love me some country. Like Travis tritt, Alan Jackson and George strait
@@donaldstandifer2503 ciao Donald! Come stai? 🙋♀️😍😘🎉🥂🍾
@@donaldstandifer2503 ciao Donald!🙋😍😘💘🎉
@@donaldstandifer2503ciao Donald! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🌅
Travis has the most raw and real voice in country music history... He feels and sings from his soul!
Amen Brother ❤️
Met him one night in Lowell, Massachusetts at Tsongas arena back stage. I was in the Marines and he was incredibly nice. I’ve always liked his music. They say don’t meet your heroes but in This case it could be farther from the truth. GREAT GUY
My Grandfather and I had this type conversation just before I left for boot camp at 16.
Country like this is gone, it;s all gone. GOD save us. It is all gone
No no! You have shaboozy and Beyoncé now. You know you want it
only young newcomers listening to old countrylegends saying "damn this dude really underrated af" no he aint, he is, and has always been truly great
God Bless America! 🇺🇸
Oops! 'Be Somebody' 😅
Turns out, I am meant to be a proud mama of two beautiful children!
Thanks for the ride, Travis ❤
There is truth in those words.
I'm an east coast boy who got moved on before he knew what he was leaving... the fields are the nets and the dusty field are the empty bays.... tell me I'm wrong. Been there so you will never convince me of the difference. Seen Travis live in medicine hat AB and it was probably the best show ever in my life.
Still one of the bbest
In a little town eastern ky a young man use to visit that man's name was Travis......one of the best country ever has had
My daddy passed 5 years ago today this song is to you daddy love and miss you you taught me the world
Hello Cindy..
One of countries greatest hands down
Travis - the REAL deal!
I was grown up near a cornfield and yess the weed is so high in the big city… even in the souls 😑
A storyteller with a voice you could never tire of listening too. Authenticity by the truck load and all from a man who clearly and genuinely loves what he does…. Definitely all about the show 100%
No current music even close to this! Thank you Travis..
He's the real deal
At least RUclips can help me maintain my sanity I can escape the present and flee back to the past to REAL COUNTRY MUSIC wooooooo 😭🎶🎶🎶 wooooooo Johnny from Alabama
The weeds are high where corn don't grow! Wow what a line!
Sucha great song...true story... cry most times I hear it...miss my father gone already 42 years
I saw him in Zanesville Ohio a couple years back. He’s always been a patriotic American and I’m thankful he didn’t bow down to the mob.
Travis you are pure talent, country at its best...
I don't often come here to reply to commentaries. Thank you for your endless support and love, how long have you been my fans?
