I hate to sound old, but when I tire of the repetitive bass beats and auto-tuned vulgar music of today, simple, pure innocent beautiful melody and lyrics with heart are such a gift. This song is at the height of those gifts, thank you to all who created this, especially to Alison.

No gimmicks,vulgarity just pure class and talent what a supremely gifted group.

I sang this at my fifth grade talent show and won first place....I've never seen my daddy so proud of me. So glad I was raised on this music❤️

She's one of few current female musical artists I have to say I do admire: the gentle voice, talented as singer and fiddler, the angelic face that looks so pretty in any hairstyle... Never flashy or trashy, no news of inappropriate activity or behavior.. A lady in all senses of the word.

Nobody sings better than Alison. NOBODY! And I’m someone who doesn’t even typically like country music. She just has the most angelic voice on earth.

Thank you, Allison. You have sung me to sleep many nights in the field, including Iraq.

THE purest most perfect voice in country/bluegrass music ever. Perfect pitch and so very effortless as well. Alison is the whole package....talent, great voice and VERY easy on the eyes as well.

She has the voice of an angel.

As i heard one guy say "I could listen to Alison Krauss sing the Denny's Menu"--- Great voice

If I could only listen to one voice for eternity, I can't think of any I'd rather hear than Alison Krauss, and the band Union Station is pure magic all on their own. Just beautiful.

Never has a performing group have had as many Grammy's amongst themselves. Alison has a bunch but all the guitar players have several too. And it shows.

never get tired of listening to her..

Whenever I hear Alison's voice I feel at peace. When I hear her the world is a much nicer place.

I never get tired of hearing this song.

You sound like an angel, Allison. Your voice is a heart-stopping gift from God.

"The next best thing to playing and winning is playing and losing ..." Been on both sides of that fence. Thank you Alison for your lovely uplifting voice, pleasant style, and beautiful shining soul.

Such a soft voice, yet so powerful. As a fan of metal I am amazed that I can enjoy this. It just draws you in, and still does after these many years since this record was released.

One of the greatest blue grass bands in the modern era!

Miss Krauss, meeting you is at the top of my bucket list! With the millions of people who have grown to love your angelic voice and presence,the phenomenal inspiration you have given to everyone who has heard and enjoyed your music,hopefully I will get to watch you perform and say hello in person! And the musicianship of Union Station is beyond words! All the best! Sy Sterritt.

never find more talented musicians than the union station

Our good friend died today. This is his song. RIP Ricky.

Alison Krauss and Union Station is simply a band composed of the best musicians on their respective instruments in the world.

A voice on loan from the heavens.

How can that many people thumbs down this song? I realize music and all art is subjective but seriously? This song, the lyrics, her voice are all great. Love this one.

Such a complex song. I think it has multiple interpretations depending on the listener. Personally I think the song is about falling in love with someone who you know will never settle down. The line “I bet your luck won’t follow me” I think hints at something has gone on between them and she’s lamenting that his leaving is going to be rough on her. There is also this subtle tone of longing, wishing to be more like him and able to live in the moment. Thumbs up if you've been the unlucky one.

She's literally an angel. Her voice literally calms me.

My Dad died 6 years and this song sounds like him , he was very lucky in the way of lovers and friends with an infectious laugh and smile . Xoxo dad

Alison, thank you so much for sharing your gift of voice with the world. During these turbulent times we as a country are facing, your music and voice along with the members of Union Station give me peace and comfort. I'm the Lucky One. THANK YOU !

The perfect band, the perfect singer, the perfect song, the perfect woman

Alison and her musicians are just the best when it comes to country music,. One will never tire of their incredible talent.

Alison has exhibited a style of singing that nobody else could copy 👍

If there are angels I know what they'll sound like.

Allison has the voice of an angel!

I am obsessed with her beautiful voice. Repeat listening to this song many times in years. ❤ from Vietnam!

I have a couple dozen songs that in my mind are perfect and should never be touched, covered, etc. This song is beautiful from the lyrics, to the vocals, to the actual music itself. Its just amazing.

This song will always be part of my childhood. We used to drive up to New Hampshire and Vermont, playing this album along the way. It means so much to me.

I dont even listen to this kind of music, but she sings like a Siren. Just wow!!😳

What a beautiful voice she has. Don't get much better . And gorgeous too.

And God blessed Alison Krause, with a Beautiful Woman and voice❤

This is the best voice in music, just every single word is beautiful

For Martin, Rest in Peace, I'm the 'lucky one' to have had you, big brother in my life.

Another perfect voice of an angel. She is so gifted - one of my favorites❤

When life was more simply more sweet vs today's songs

Can't believe this video was made 17 years ago. It's about as modern as i can stand and i still think in these terms. Damn it, though, this music is timeless. Alison truly is the voice of an angel and the band is second to none. LIterally.

Beautiful Alison, beautiful voice, beautiful song !!! Best voice of country music !!! Undoubtedly !!!

Absolutely beautiful lady with a angelic voice

The only words I can think of to describe her voice, is Heavenly, or Angelic. If we had one chance to stop an alien invasion, and had to prove that humans are able to mimic the Angels, I hope I have my CDs, and you can bet I'm gonna throw in some Allison.

You're the lucky one so I've been told Free as the wind blowin' down the road Loved by many, hated by none I'd say you were lucky cause I know what you've done Not a care in the world not a worry in sight Everything's gonna be all right Cause you're the lucky one You're the lucky one always havin' fun A jack of all trades a master of none You look at the world with a smilin' eye And laugh at the devil as his train rolls by Give you a song and a one-night stand You'll be looking at a happy man Cause you're the lucky one [Chorus] Were you blessed? I guess By never knowin' which road you're choosing To you the next best thing to playin' and winning Is playin' and losin' You're the lucky one I know that now Don't ask you why, when, where or how You look at the world through your smilin' eye And laugh at the devil as his train rolls by Give you a song and a one-night stand And you'll be looking at a happy man Cause you're the lucky one [Chorus] Were you blessed? I guess By never knowin' which road you're choosing To you the next best thing to playin' and winning Is playin' and losin' You're the lucky one I know that now Don't ask you why, when, where or how No matter where you're at is where you'll be You can bet your luck won't follow me Just give you a song and a one-night stand You'll be looking at a happy man Cause you're the lucky one.

Jerry's Dobro complements Alison's beautiful voice so perfectly. And Ron's guitar in the middle-8 is unmatched - he always plays the exact right notes.

Just saw them a few months ago in my area and I can attest, there is no drop off in quality in the music live. She and Union station are just wonderfully constantly awesome!!!! Loved the show, she was very engaging.

My favorite Allison Krauss song , great lyrics and I love the rolling rhythm that moves effortlessly through the entire song.

The most beautiful woman on the planet singing my late Dad's favorite song

She is a Angel and this song brings me hope every time I hear it

She is what i imagine angels sound like!

Lex and Manolis send me here .. and I'm grateful for that 😊

She's sweet, feminine, has a fabulous voice, & the guys in the band have just the right touch! Just another terrific day in a forest with friends ..........& some fine music! This is an example of why life is so good! * Robert Cavalier *

C'est une des plus belles mélodies jamais produites dans ce style. Du blues country avec des images oniriques,des guitares limpides, simples ,ça se ballade,pas de frime, et cela nous rapproche des étoiles. Merci, Alison Krauss ! Vous me faites rêver dans ce monde de brutes. Lionel

Absolutely beautiful. Flawless...

The voice and presence of a angel ❤️

Angelic voice, because she is an angel!

I was lucky enough to see Alison Krauss. She is an angel incarnate.

A beautiful song , a beautiful sweet-classy singer with feelings: Allison Krauss !

The acoustics are awesome!

How does this only have ~3 million views but other, we shall say less talented singers have over a billion? The world is backwards.

I’ve always loved this by this beautiful princess!!! TY so much!!! 😍

She is beyond amazing .we are all lucky ones that they realized What a treasure she is

I love this woman. She stole my heart the first time I heard Steel Rails. My love only grows

Dear Alison, from Puerto Rico I tell you, you bewitched me the first time (2004), and it did not take a second. Your voice is a charm. hugs and kisses.

Bluegrass/Country Singers like Alison are the reason I fell in love with Country music. Even though I grew up in the South surrounded by all that, it really took singers like her to bring me over to the Country/Bluegrass craze.

When I need to get to a better place I can always count on these guys. Thank you!

Hear her sing ghost in this house is just amazing , she’s the best female singer ever period !!!

People who don't believe in God, have never listened to this angel on earth singing! And she's as beautiful and cute as an angel could be!

Her voice is like liquid gold

One of the most beautiful songs every written, played or performed.

Real Music. Too hear such a lovely voice makes me 'the lucky one'

the poetry the softness all brings the music to a new life

Perfect in every way!

One of the all-time greatest voices I’ve ever heard. 😻

Happy birthday, Alison! One more candle on the cake, one billion more wows and smiles. Thank you so much!

Alison Krauss is my favorite singer. She sings like an angel. And this is my favorite song. It is like my theme song.

I don’t know because I’ve not heard them all but this could be the most beautiful song ever recorded

One of the greatest female voices of all times

This woman is just amazing,so natural.so simple,so lovely and her voice is wonderful!

The whole band fits perfectly. They are so humble........

The look she gives him as she gets up and walks away....she knows what he's done...one night stand and he's a lucky man

This song gives me such a good feeling..and I have been down, thanks Alison..I love your voice

GOD!!! She's an earth Angel! WoW

Bittersweet song reflected in a beautiful video sung in the transcendent voice of Allison Krauss with the immaculate Union Station

This song gives me so much relief when heartache catches up. Thank you Alison Krauss & Union Station!

très peu connue en France ,c'est pourtant une voix magnifique ,pleine de douceur ,une chanteuse d'une grande simplicité avec un charme fou

Awe played this song at my 22 year old son's funeral....decribes him to a tee, brings a tear to my eye every time. Beautiful song and her voice sounds like an angel.

When Alison Krauss sings and plays her instruments it just makes me feel good . No matter when life has handed me at that moment I can listen to her music and escape . Thankful for such a true , raw talented young lady !
