I've listened to this song since I was a kid. I'm 36 now and totally just realized the song was about himself the whole time 🤷‍♂️

As I'm facing my 50th birthday I see all to clearly the full meaning of the song. Live your lives so you won't have any regrets folks. Live your life so the preacher and your family won't have to lie about you at your funeral. Love your family, love your friends, enjoy life.

i'm 56. i feel sorry that the generations to come will never know that innocence. We never locked our doors back then and yes it was on my bike on a gravel road.

Too bad our kids will never know the fun we had as kids. If the kids do this these days they'd probably get arrested. Great song

Im 66 now and this song really hits home.

The 90s were an amazing decade for music...all the genres were pumping out some classics.

I’m a female and 37 but I miss me as a kid this songs reminds me still to this day of what it was like. Free fun.

I'm 67 and I love it 😊

What grown man doesn't identify with this song?! We chased that dream of adulthood, only to have it turn to ashes upon our tongues once in our grasp. Oh how I wish reincarnation was real, a chance to do it all over again knowing what I know now!

2024- still an awesome song- we all have a little Billy the kid left in us..

My name's Robert and as a kid I wrote him a letter and asked for his autograph, he sent me a life sized poster, a picture, all autographed, even a tape of his music.

Damn i haven't heard this song in so long,they will never have country music like this again.

the golden era of country. I was in my early teens and I'd give anything to go back and have another shot

Song reminds me of my dad because he played it often! RIP Dad. I love you

I saw him in concert in the early 90's. Absolutely love him.

I miss Billy Dean!! He had everything -- drop dead good looks, sex appeal, great style and voice and those dimples -- I just love to watch him singing in this song! But the song has a terrific message, too. A lot of us miss the kid in us....

Please tell me i'm not the only one who took 30 years to get the meaning of this country classic.

I'm 31 and I still remember the first time I heard this song and to this day it's still my favorite Billy Dean song

This song is such a good classic i wish country music was still this mellow as this song is

You ever hear a song that takes you back to your childhood in every sense of the word?.. this is that song the 90's were the best time to grow up
