He came home but was in a casket , didn't know if y'all caught that.

I'm guessing you missed where he said, she probably had a boyfriend but didn't care, he just wanted someone to write letters too. Extremely common and a true lifeline for many soldiers, especially before things the internet and international calls without operators.

Not Ready To Make Nice is an incredible song if you want a suggestion. This song though makes me cry EVERY time.

Fun fact: Emily is 8 months pregnant here playing that dobro :)

That lay flat guitar is called a dobro. It's a Gibson/Epiphone.

Home Free have a beautiful version of this song. Also, not sure if you saw but I sent a PayPal with a request for Thank You God by Tim Minchin a while back 🙂

I waited 3 different times my army husband was sent to Iraq and they are 100 of thousands of military spouses that hold that honor

I was just singing this the other day!

Dropped the Dixie because of the woke presence and pressures around the same time that confederate civil war hero’s statues were removed.

I'm still can't wait to see you react to Travis tritt love of a woman that I requested

Those traveling soldiers get lonely too and sometimes slip up. 2 way street

They kind of faded out because their lead singer got into with Toby Keith & lost. Natalie Maines (the singer) his had an issue with Toby's 9/11 song courtesy of the red white & blue, she called the song ignorant & that pissed a lot of people off, especially military veterans. People stoppe listening to their music & radio stations stopped playing them.

Ya GOTTA react to Home Free's reaction to this song..... I listen to it almost every night when I exercise :)

My favorite version of this is by Aaron Lewis. And it actually is not him singing it, but it is in his album. I’ve heard it is his daughter singing it, but I’m not sure.

"Goodbye, Earl!"

Don't cry for the girl, cry for the young man cut down in his prime. Yes, he was among the Vietnam dead, but this could be any soldier in any war. This live version beats the original recording, the military drum at the end wasn't in the original and is really sobering.

Name was changed due to the back lash of the name Dixie. As it is southern in heritage

The Chicks are badass truth tellers. They were the first to experience "cancel culture". They received death threats for a comment the lead singer, Natalie, said during a concert in Europe. She said they were against the war in Iraq and that they were ashamed the president came from Texas (paraphrasing) Country music turned their backs on them. Had CD burning events. They got death threats and the FBI had to get involved. They have an amazing documentary that goes thru everything they went thru. Other country artists joined in the hate. It was MASSIVE at the time. Nowadays, it wouldn't even make a blip. The orange guy said MUCH worse on the same topic. But...that doesn't seem to matter to his supporters. But they still hate The Chicks. They wrote an answering album that won every Grammy it was nominated for. Along with their answering song called " Not Ready to Make Nice. Its very epic. I support The Chicks. *they dropped the "Dixie" due to its negative connotations of the confederate

Christian you are like me when I was pregnant constantly laughing or crying.

If you want to hear some good harmony and instrumentals check out The Wailin Jenny's.

She actually wasn't playing a guitar. That is a dobro. It is played laying flat like that.

That's not a guitar. That's a dobro.

Not ready to make nice. Do a little research then a reaction. Amazing story here

As a guy i can absolutely see where youre coming from. Its not totally a lack in faith for women, but that us guys know guys....

Come on y’all. Ain’t nothing new to under the sun. I ain’t a Dixie chicks fan from a political view but as te father in law of a soldier. They wanna come home from deployment! They get lonely but for FACTS: They wanna see their babies and their wives!

Seriously, check out The Wailin Jennys like right now. You won't be sorry.

Y'all need to stop talking & stopping the video so much, It takes away from the song & parts of the song are missed. It's annoying. WAIT until it's over then give your comments.

They done a concert in France and they said some nasty stuff about our country. President Bush told radio stations to stop playing their music. So they did!!!!going to another country and talk about the one you live in they are talented. There were country band turned their back on them on the cmt award show Toby Keith Alan Jackson l think. Love your Chanel. I love the lord!!!!!!!

Home Free's version is SO MUCH BETTER!!!

They are woke country outcasts but have a few good songs before they were dropped

loved this group until they went woke...try Aaron Lewis daughter's version of this song...its even better
