Lord this song gets me every time…. How anyone can sing along is beyond me. This song puts my heart in my throat every time. Beautifully written and performed…
Got me a little teary when you sang this song last night. Some of your best songs are your "family" songs. Great show. Come back soon. Waitin' on Holly.
Holly Williams BABY GIRL!! You knocked it out of the park! Ive got Goosebumps from head to toe & tears flowing! So much heart, soul & love here! I can't love this enough! Reminds me of my mamaw & pawpaw in the mississippi delta
Holly, this really touched me. Your grandparents sound a lot like my own parents- and my mom is named JUNE also. They grew up not far from your own great- grandfather in McWilliams, AL. In fact, before my father passed away, he wrote a book about his childhood in Oak Hill, AL, and there is mention of Hank Sr. in that book. This was a wonderful reminder of their love story of 47 years.
I was pointed in this direction by The Bitter Southerner ... and I am absolutely a mess right now. What a beautiful song about love. Absolutely incredible.
Semisynthetic lost my Poppa this October. This song is his and my Nannas story. They were together 62 years. I love this song. Thank you for sharing it with us.
It is such a talent laden family and I have been listening to two of the greatest talents of all time, namely Hank & Hank Jr. for the past 50 years. I cannot say how great it is too see that this family has produced another one of the all time greats in Holly! I hope she comes to Canada soon...
Ms Holly - I stumbled on this while looking for Hank Jr music. Absolutely beautiful love song. I have been with my wife for 28 years and have done a lot of slow dancin' to Hank Sr. songs. You are a FANTASTIC talent! Thank you so much for sharing.
Amazing, saw Holly live on Friday night with Jason Isbell and was blown away. This was the last song played and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. No idea how Holly has escaped me for this long, but glad I've been turned onto her music, beautiful song, great songwriter.
WoWOWOWOW!! I am now a HUGE fan!! After I heard Drinkin I had to find every single Holly Williams video I could find. There is still hope for Country Music!
I grew up in the mountains of East Tennessee listening to your daddy, Waylon, Billy Joe Shaver, & still listen to them, I got in the truck last week & this song was in the CD player my boy had drove the truck that morning & I fell in love with this song... He told me who sang the song & who you were, so now I am a huge fan of Hank's daughter, you got something & I know your daddy has to be proud of your songwriting & singing..... The next generation of True Country is here, thanks Holly for keeping country in country.....
What a beautiful song and sentiment. Holly is monumentally talented and proof that musical talent gets better with every generation and age, much like a fine wine. Her lineage should be so proud of her because she's doing her own thing. I have monumental respect for her and I'm generally an alt-rock / British rock fan. She's my favorite country singer next to Shelby Lynne. It's nice when pure talent trumps commercial success concerns. -Troy
I'm a Hospice Intern, and I have seen how husband and wives cope with their grief, when their loved one of __ + years passes away. It is a deep, sadness but it is filled with such grace; to have a love like that. Thank you for sharing your grandparents story in this beautiful song.
I was driving along listening to NPR the other night....heard this song and was in tears before the song was over...I didn't know what Holly looked like but I think I fell in Love at first listen !!!! Hope to see her play in Philly in May !
Since seeing Holly perform this song down at ACL a couple weeks ago, I haven't been able to go a day without listening to it and thinking about my own grandparents and where they are now. The raw emotion in her voice is incredibly moving. Thanks so much for sharing your grandparents' story with the world in such a beautiful way. And come on out to Denver soon!
Just came across this beautiful delivery of a beautiful love story in music ! No one could have done a more touching story in music ! Simply beautiful!
Heard this song for the first time at the Grand Ole Opry last night--this is truly one of the most moving songs I have heard. Holly Williams is a Super Star!
Holly - your voice is so unique. My husband and I just watched a live performance from Biscuits and Jam and wow! You are so amazing. Your story is beautiful. I hope to see you live in my very near future. I could listen to your voice all day.
My goodness!!! If you do not like this you do not like music. This song is as good as it gets and so is the rest of "Highway" for that matter. Thank you Holly, you make beautiful music.
I saw Holly for the first time at the Ryman a few weeks ago as one of Vince Gill's guests in his benefit concert. She stole the show! This song seemed to touch everyone in the room. Amazing talent - compelling art. Can't wait to see her again.
I cried throughout this performance at Ryman GOE too on Saturday night. I am sorry to say I have never heard of Holly Williams until now. I must place her, and this song, firmly in my top ten list. Thank you Holly for your beautiful gift you are sharing with the world. Your presence, your art, your craft is so moving. I will be coming to see you whenever I can!!!
Saw Holly for the first time in Asheville when she opened for Jason Isbell and was floored when she played this song. It just absolutely kills me everytime I hear it, so good.
My son and I saw her Thursday night in Asheville with Jason Isbell - I've gotten so calloused about marriage and relationships - Thank you, Holly, for reminding me that there was a time when people loved each other like that. Maybe it does still happen... I was fighting tears and so was my 18 year old son. Pretty amazing when songs can touch multiple generations :-)
+Holly Williams Mrs. Williams this song is absolutely beautiful and brings me to tears every time I listen to it. Why you didn't win a Grammy, I'll never know.
This song is a real gem. Excellent writing, fine performance. The writing is so real, that the subject matter of the song played out in my head like a movie, as she was singing it. Thanks Holly.
Holy smokes! Someone very close to me shot me this link and I am the better for it. Yeah it about got me teared up after the second listen so I am sure a third will take me on down. Your craft with your words is excellent. I can "see" this song clear as a bell and you tell such a poignant and complete story. The entirety of this experience we all face is so utterly overwhelming, joyful, sad, and mysterious yet you handled it with such grace in this song. Thank you very much for your art.
I had never heard any of Holly Williams before, this video lead me to listen to The Highway on Spotify which in turn lead me to buy the album on itunes. Beautiful songs, come play over in the UK soon
The raw emotion in this song has me in tears. The love your grandparents had for one another is palpable in every perfectly chosen word of your tribute. Amazing, Holly.
Wow....This song made me think of my parents....touching. Amazing the talent, that flows through the blood of the Williams family...and such a touching song from the other side. Holly just gained a new fan, what a beautiful voice!
This song has stopped me in my tracks, I just love it! Now I've downloaded the album and it's the best music I've heard since discovering Patty Griffin. Thanks Holly! Please come tour in Australia soon, otherwise I'll have to make a trip to the US just to see you perform. xx
Holly I bought all your CDs after your gig a few years ago at Dead Dog in Murrells Inlet SC. I had you autograph your latest CD for my brother, who is also now a huge fan. Sure wish you'd come back, or please come to Charleston...I'd drive miles to c u again!

An absolutely beautiful gem of a song. Played and sung from the heart and it shows. Bravo Holly Williams 👏
Holly is an amazing songwriter, and this is one of my favorites.

This is a touching song, honoring a life-long marriage and love between two people. Well done!

Just heard this live in Indianapolis and it was so moving! I'm all misty-eyed, :)
Yay! Thanks, Sean! Glad you made it out to the show.

Something most country music is missing nowadays. Emotional and meaningful lyrics.

U & Sam get to that place in my heart, that I don't let others in!!! LoL

Such a beautiful song. The words really paint a picture. Like a mini-movie running in my head.
WoWOWOWOW!! I am now a HUGE fan!! After I heard Drinkin I had to find every single Holly Williams video I could find. There is still hope for Country Music!

This lady is the purest form of country music to me. Best ever
Saw her sing this at the Grand Ole Opry this month. The song really takes you back to another time and place.

I love Holly Williams. You can tell the emotion of the song on her face. I love the song. She really is a great artist.
Just came across this beautiful delivery of a beautiful love story in music ! No one could have done a more touching story in music ! Simply beautiful!
Cannot listen to this song and keep a dry eye, and me, a grown ass man. Helps me feel, thank you for that. Great song.
One of the most beautifully crafted, meaningful and emotional songs I have had the pleasure of listening to. Thank you Holly.
Thank you, Gary! Means a lot!
What a love story, so well told, so well sung. Thank you!
Saw her sing this last night and it brought me to tears. What a beautiful song - her grandparents are surely really proud of Holly.
I certainly hope that Holly adds more west coast concert appearances to her schedule. What an amazing singer/songwriter.
Beautiful song..made my wife cry. We are both fans!!!

All I can Say Holly is this song is great, very very touching, and would say your Grandad would be proud.
I love this woman. SO RESPECT her paying tribute to both sides
Powerful, moving and truth.
Can't be more honest and pure. Emotionally beautiful.
I can NEVER get through this song without streaming tears. So sweet.

This song is a masterpiece Holly. I hung on every word. You remind me of why I love country music.
This song hit home with me the first time I listened to it.. I couldn't hold back the tears. Beautiful song, one for the ages.
Thanks a bunch, Matt.
+Holly Williams Mrs. Williams this song is absolutely beautiful and brings me to tears every time I listen to it. Why you didn't win a Grammy, I'll never know.
Holly just heard this for the first time on 88.5 WMMF I had to pull over from the tears...
This song is a real gem. Excellent writing, fine performance. The writing is so real, that the subject matter of the song played out in my head like a movie, as she was singing it. Thanks Holly.

I caught Holly at the Bijou in Knoxville, TN on the January 21st. Simply amazing. This song tore me up.
Wow! Thanks, Ryan!!
It's funny, Ms. Williams, my friends and I were at Dazzo's Pizza two booths away from you before the show...haha...small world.
Holly sings great and makes you wonder in the day's time it's hard to really find true love like they did back in the days she's singing about
I love the way her husband watches her sing. This is one of the most touching songs I've ever heard.
I can't stop listening to it since hearing this song live at the Opry a couple of nights ago. I think it was even better live. Amazing.
That's her husband??? Oh my! I wonder if that was her husband also playing at the Grand Ole Opry with her. They are amazing together!
Thanks! Hoping to get back to the UK soon!!
I had never heard any of Holly Williams before, this video lead me to listen to The Highway on Spotify which in turn lead me to buy the album on itunes. Beautiful songs, come play over in the UK soon
One of the best artists out there. Come to Pittsburgh PLEASE!! =)
Such a wonderful, sweet song of love. Thanks for sharing this song with us.
I got choked up when I heard this song! Amazing lyrics and I loved how it told the story of their lives together.
This is such an incredible song. Holly is one of the most talented musicians in music.
it doesn't matter her pedigree. Holly can touch souls. So beautiful.
Awesome voice, great song.. and extremely easy on the eyes!
You pretty much made us cry with this at the Opry, and got me again now. Such a good song, so beautifully performed. Thank you.
Spectacular voice and spectacular song.
What a beautiful story! And the buildup at the end - that's great writing. "The angels let me see her every day" is my favorite line.
The raw emotion in this song has me in tears. The love your grandparents had for one another is palpable in every perfectly chosen word of your tribute. Amazing, Holly.
Wow....This song made me think of my parents....touching. Amazing the talent, that flows through the blood of the Williams family...and such a touching song from the other side. Holly just gained a new fan, what a beautiful voice!
An unbelievably beautiful song
Thanks, Rodney!

Awesome talent - amazing, soulful voice - enjoyed her show tonight at world cafe live

I love this song! Had a tear in my eye.
