Couldn’t agree more!

AMEN.

Once upon a time time time, voices like this happens , Kieth Whitley and Earl happen , you seen it coming, once in a blue Moon

Hi Tina, how are you doing?

I agree

U got that right I played his cassette tapes for Friends they said who is that immediately they were fans

This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost battling cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, life could be so unfair most times, but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people

I’ve never been bought flowers for

​@crystalbarron9022 does he show you that he loves you in other ways? I would rather he buy me something I want or need rather than on expensive flowers that will die in a few days...! He bought me lilac bushes for my yard! That's enough for me! Instead he buys me cherries when they're in season, clothes that I want, he cooks for me because I can't anymore. There's all the little things that he does or says that mean so much to me. He knows never to hit me(again) because of repercussions! We've learned respect for each other! I hope you get this from your spouse! Much luck to you & prayers! ❤

This song keeps me in check ! Sometimes i feel that i don't express my gratitude as often as she deserves! I do agree that Earl and Keith are Tops! From the heart❤!

So true. We had it so good.

I was born in 81’ and I had a dysfunctional home life but it was still a great childhood! Stayed outside from morning til night. Played “Kick the Bottle” and drank from the water hose. Laid in the grass with the dogs and made mud pies. Rode our bikes all day long. Ate good food too at grandmas! We respected our elders and loved one another. We were also much more active back then! I feel sorry for my children because the internet is their everything. It’s my own fault but I had no clue what damage it could do when I handed them PlayStations and iPhones. I was the last person in our immediate family of five to get a smart phone or Facebook. When I did, my friends said, “Welcome to the 21st Century”. I used to spend a lot more time with my husband and children before I had an iPhone. I wish I had never picked up one of these dang things and I wish just as much I could’ve seen what effect technology would have on my kids. Do you have kids? What does a parent do when they’ve allowed their kids to have phones and social media so young but 10-13-19 years later they see the negative impact? I feel like I can’t take their stuff away now but I REALLY need to! I feel like it could cause more harm than good at this point to take their electronics. My older two kids understand my concerns and my 13 yr old would respectfully accept my decision to not let her have smartphones or social media. She’s a great child. But my 10 year old would act like a lunatic I am certain! 😩🤦🏻‍♀️ I recently set time limits on the phones but I cave in on days I don’t feel well or when I’m busy, which is often. I recently watched “Social Dilemma” and it made me even more eager to make some changes. I want my kids to be outside! You’re so right. Kids will never know what life was like back then. Did you know the suicide rate for junior high kids has increased 185% since the internet? I find that heartbreaking.

BS17 I was born in 1980 and I know EXACTLY what you mean EVERYTHING u just sd about growing up and our kids now is how I feel EXACTLY its crazy u sd EVERYTHING that I wanted to say!😉

@@angelabise1333 I was born in 1951. I had a very abusive childhood. It’s over. I try my best to get rid of my pain. I have been working on myself since I learned about psychology. I sank into it like ducks on water. It saved my life. My 2 younger sister and brother committed suicide. That is how bad it was. My sister 1 year older than me with me also think about ending our life but we don’t have the guts. We have severe pain from arthritis pain, fibromyalgia, chronic pain. Yet we talk about our childhood and find the funny stuff we did. No indoor bathroom. We see how the world has changed since we were kids. It’s mind blowing. Kids now days don’t have that good old childhood we had. I agree 100%. My granddaughter is soon to be 12 and my son and daughter in law try to get her outside on her bike, roller blades, trampoline, they have her in tennis, gymnastics, karate, she’s a fish in water even starting to mow grass with an easy push mower. They try to keep it limited with all the phones and technology. She’s an ‘A’ student. Friends galore. She has parents that care so much about her and family and friends around her. They live in a city. I grew up on the farm and so did my kids. You just never get bored. Always something to do, work or play. Climbing trees. A treehouse. It was limitless. And good home made balanced meals. Those days are gone forever. But I know I grew up in the best years of music ever! Music is my savior on my dark days. But singing with it makes me feel even better if not the best!!! Hang in there guys! Don’t lose sight of good morals and values. And good common sense. It will get you so much further in this life. Teach your children that! Thanks for sharing! And God I have to say my world of music is vast!

This deserves 1 million likes

@@BS-dq1kz I know how you feel (I'm a bit older than you, but same generation) but don't kick yourself. Do your best, as that's all you can do, love. And thank you for that statistic, as I didn't know suicides had reached such heights at that age group.

Well said!

Frank Dalton yes I agree with you 💯 I love this song

Yeah true Timmy 😊 I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺

Yes I agree, not very crazy about the newer version of Country Music. 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, were the Best, especially the 1980s, so very many Wonderful Country Artist came on the scene, got got very popular in that Decade, and On. Oh Wow what a very wonderful song, , liked the Video of this. I remember this song. 🎶🎵🎶🙏😇🙏🤗🥰

Won't happen! It's not about whores, mud trucks & 30 year Olds acting like teenagers. Plus no snap tracks. I agree with you tho

Only a few of us have the pleasure and richness of a True Lady's Love! Money can't buy that!

Killer

@@williamcreel624 Yup and people Drop your Precious Addictive Smart Phones because You Are Killing your children and beyond.

@@HighSpeedNoDrag You’re right! I feel these smart phones and other internet m/electronic devices are ruining families altogether. Not just our children but our marriage ma as well!

Yes, this video perfectly fit the song.

I found one after 51 years and a failed 20-year marriage. She is a rare good one and I will never do anything to lose her!

Amen Brother

Love to have a man..that cares

You are darn right we are few and far between

He had a string of hits about 2 miles long!

@@glenbeck5602 He was popular at the time, for sure. I think Mona means "He doesn't get the credit he deserves." (Present tense.)

The way she stood by him! The way she didn't give up on! A beautiful thing!

@@douglasgeiger7591 I'm 76 now. My husband passed 11 years ago, after 46 1/2 years of marriage. This was identical to our marriage in the 60s. We were in our teens. Every word is so accurate. Things improved and we had many good years. During his last years, every night, when I put him to bed, he went to sleep listening to "I Want to Stroll Over Heaven With You " by Alan Jackson, on replay. Looking forward to joining him when the Lord chooses. Just reminiscing. Hoping Jesus brings someone for you. God bless. ❤️

@ Nolan Boles Nolan, it's been a year. Hoping the Lord has brought someone into your life. God bless. ❤️

I’ve got her now love you nancy

I'm lucky to have that blue-moon kind of woman!

Broke my heart, l loved his music. Have his double album greatest hits. Holdin Her and Loving You, Heavenly Bodies, What She is is a Woman in Love. He had more number ones than any other male country singer in 80s and 90s.

Agreed. So sad

RIP amazing voice and man

so sad 2019 is going downhill for so long including celebrates and musicians

So weird? Was listening to some old songs n I see this comment ...my son was dj Williams too. He passed at the age of 39 July 30, 2020 from covid, awesome, handsome, loving musician, son. I miss him so much. 🎶 music memories.

Hi Anne, how are you doing

Agreed

@Willie. Rolls I'm good thank you, how are you

Hi 👋, how are you doing

rip earle hope you all like his music as much i do with love

You two sound a lot like my parents. They're both in their upper 80s now and been married for 67 years. My dad put her through hell in the early years. She dealt with so much more than anyone should ever have to. Nine children, many corrections, and many years later, they act like 2 teenagers in love. Fortunately, he has spent the last 40 years doing all he could to make it up to her. That kind of commitment is so very rare these days. Your wife sounds like that caliber of a woman. RARE in todays world. God bless you both and good luck.

You are blessed and have a good woman. Not too many out there these days who's in it for the long haul.

Your wife sounds like me. I love my husband but like Earl says she hates how she loves me sometimes. I do at times but I wouldn't trade my husband for nothing. Just wish he would quit getting so mad at every little thing. I know I thought of leaving but I'm not that type I just keep hanging on when anyone else would have. I just now learn how to go along when he doesn't give in.

Hello 🤗, how are you doing

It's cool. It didn't make me cry, though, but it did make me angry...

Aha hell brother let’s not get to emotional & all

Hi Tracy, how are you doing

In today's heavy handed recording industry, "inspiration" isn't the option it once was. Unlike the "outlaw" days when rebels like Roger Miller, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser and David Allen Coe would stand up to the "suits of Nashville," today's performers no longer enjoy such leverage. They play what they're told to play, in some cases even at live concerts. One explanation for such artistic servitude-- their own talent agents have a nasty habit of climbing in the sack with the industry's corporate executives, engaging in quid-pro-quo arrangements of benefit to everyone except the baby-faced singer. Artists like Charlie and Bruce Robison Brothers, Nancy Griffith and other great South Texas talents all seem to flourish independently, but "independence" comes at a price. Not that it matters to me; I could listen to them all day on KZfaq. But none of them ever seem to ascend to the status of household names as "performers." An exception would be Ms. Griffith, but only as a composer. Her collaborations on "From A Distance" and "Love At The Five & Dime" helped to put her on the map as a song writer. Otherwise their notoriety is pretty much limited to a regional market, a not so appetizing prospect for today's starry eyed up and comers who would rather sell their souls for super-stardom.

Yes ronnie, georgejones and straight, the good old legends

they are told to make hick hop country to help brainwash the masses for the media

These artist were honest storytellers..

If you pay attention to today's lyrics, they are very much the same...only thing is, recording labels want to reach the younger generation. Which we all know that they are NOT into old songs...therefore they add background "junk" and hip hop beats

I'm right with ya. Keep plugging on Will.

Cristy u r so right saddletramp

He had more hits than anyone..he lost his voice
