It's so sad that Troy Gentry passed away this afternoon in a Helicopter crash. I'm happy he knew God. Prayers going out to his family friends and fans.
I don't know what its like to be an addict, or be raised in a controversial family, but i still love this song. Brings a tear to my eye almost every time. It is so powerful
Nathan burkey my God bless you and continue to keep you safe I'm I'm glad that you broke that cycle of hate please keep your head up and keep moving forward with your life
@@john.premose most democrats and BLMers don’t really listen to country. I’m not sure what their prevailing fascist music of choice is, but I’m certain it’s not country.
My mom WAS an alcoholic , my dad WAS abusive, and I WAS nothing more then a dirtbag (Drugs,Womanizer, Never believed in myself,gangs, racist ect).....it took years. At first i found God and I started believing in him.The more I believed the more I saw God take notice. We all started going to church and volunteering from the heart. My mom has been clean for years. My dad spoke sweeter, and I left my old gang behind, started over, forgave myself, respected everyone equally and met amazing people, I've been clean for many years and I thank God for it everyday. It shows when I told my fiancé about my past..and she couldn't believe it..Dont stop believing!
This is exactly what I want to read in this world. There's stories like this that need to be heard instead of all the negative stuff you see on the news and fb and everywhere. Thanks for sharing.
I WAS a self-entitled brat that survived a teenhood of abuse from an a****** stepfather, long after the abuse was over. I stopped whining, got my life together, married, working hard and getting closer to God by the day.
I have a grandmother who acts all sweet with me and her grandchildren, but in all reality, had neglected her own 5 children, one of which included my dad. I thank God that none of them ended up like her and I pray for her and everyone else in their bad ways everyday. This song gives me hope for even the worst of people.
Sweet pea don't you think that maybe she might be trying to make up for that with you and her and other grandchildren. Sometimes grandparents try to make up for the mistakes that they made with their children by doing what they should have with their own grandchildren. Sometimes people are better grandparents than they were parents. I know I've seen it firsthand.
As an addict that has been sober for 14 years I find this song inspiring. Thank you for recording it. I wish more people believed that people can change.
IT TAKES SOME TIME. I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. BUT KNOW THIS; GOD DOES NOTICE THE CHANGE IN YOU.AND HE DOES FORGIVE AND FORGET AND THATS ALL WE NEED SOMETIMES. SO KEEP ON KEEPING ON
This song is so powerful! I am an immigrant that fell in love with this Country since I was a kid living in México. I came to the States when I was 19 years old. I came illegally and earned my Citizenship when I turned 25 years old. I consider this Country my home because. I found out this Country loves me too. There are good in people everywhere even in those that misunderstand me and the ones I miss understand. God bless.
Wish America would listen to this song! Its not the Nation that needs to change for the People, its the Heart of the People that needs to change for the Nation! "When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power, the World will know Peace!" -Jimi Hendrix
Montgomery Gentry, God through this song turned my life around. From a depressed, self-harming boy into a purposed, joy-filled man. This song gave me hope at my lowest points. It gave me hope that I could change and become who I am meant to be in Christ.
Well sir I'm going to let you know that it wasn't Christ it was you who decided to change, prayer releases endorphins the same as getting a raise at a job does so in turn you picked yourself up and gave yourself the strength because if you truly believe that God created everything then everything is God, therefore you are God, I am God we are all God. No offense when I say this but you talked yourself through your difficulties and YOU answered your own prayers because you are God.
It gives me chills to listen to this song. It has been a big song for me since it came out and has helped me to return to being the good Christian I always was. Thank God for helping me return to me.
So when I was in the Marines in Iraq 06. Montgomery gentry came out to the base I was on to do a uso show. Unfortunately I couldn't go. I was on a convoy. But everyone else that didn't have obligations went. I'm telling you, when some of them went to that show, they hated country music and had no idea who Montgomery gentry was. They just went because it was a break from the norm. But when they came back, they were all Montgomery gentry fans. With a newfound respect for country music. A few months later, DMX was scheduled to perform a uso show on our base. But he canceled. I'm not joking about this. DMX said it was going to be too hot in Iraq in the summer and never showed. That also turned more people into country fans.
Not only that, God helped me get back into school. I graduated with a degree in May of last year; I now have a job at the same homeless shelter where I'd been a 'frequent' resident - now I'm a staff member there, where I can encourage others. Also, I've been free of drugs, alcohol, & out of abusive relationships for 16 years. So for anyone who's still struggling with recovery, drug/alcohol abuse - I've been there. Its not always easy, but it IS worth it, and it WILL happen.
How Farms Work For Those Montgomery Gentry Fans Who Didn't Know This Song Was Originally Recorded By Kenny Chesney On His 2004 Album When The Sun Goes Down
This song makes me think of my uncle. He was in Vietnam. The horrors of war turned him into an alcoholic. When he was drunk he was abusive. (verbally and physically) He knew it was taking a toll on his marriage and decided to get help. Unfortunately the alcohol already took it's toll on his body and left him terminally ill of cancer. The last years he was alive he was a changed man
God Bless Troy Gentry Was taken away from this earth in a helicopter crash today . God bless his family and Eddie Montgomery in their tragic loss . Very shocking and sad . Also Don Williams passed today and a month ago on this date we loss Glen Campbell . Such tragic loss loosing 3 great artist in a months time . Heart breaking .
I was that guy I the first verse, and yes the grace of God filled my life with peace, love , and acceptance. Now that I have found the true meaning of life I spread the word of God's love and the ability to change to troubled youth caught in the troubled world of hate.
I'm trying to change badly. I was baptized in June 2009 10 years old but I didn't take my relationship with God seriously right after I got baptized and when I was 12 I started looking at bad stuff. When I was 17 last year about to turn 18 I said "I want to quit" and it's still hard right now every time I've tried to quit I've had relapses about every 2 months sometimes once every week and then I came across Matthew 5:28 "Any man who looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery with her in his heart" and that's when I started to hate what I done and I'm praying to god so hard that I want to run away from my wicked ways and like I said it's still hard.
No matter what you may have done. Redemption was never kept far from anyone who genuinely sought out the Lord and called upon him for forgiveness. No matter what
I think of my brother when i hear this song. He use to be so abusive not only to his son but also to me. I use to be so afraid of him as a minor. But now he no longer abuses anybody and has changed so much thanks to his beautiful and wonderful fiance. I'm so glad my brother changed for the better.
I come back to this song many years later, it feels more impactful more now than ever. I have lost my way in this life and then having do deal with my dad passing away last year. It's been hard to stay positive at times. I'm not giving up hope I can get through this and live to my potential.
jesus loves you and is knocking at your heart he can take all your pain away and fill you with joy if you put your full trust in him and know that he is still good and he still saves he is the same as yesterday tommorow and 50 years down the road
Through the grace of Christ I’m over 4 years sober. I was a young college frat boy who lived to party. At that point in my life, all I wanted to do was live in the moment. So I was just chasing the crowd. Truly, I loved the bar crawls, the atmosphere, the music, the women, the spring breaks, the people, the concerts, the raves, the festivals and the drinks. People actually thought it was cool that I would seem perfectly sober after drinking a .750 of Svedka. Honestly, looking back I I’m a bit ashamed of that. On game days I’d start drinking at 8am and I’d keep drinking till the bars closed at 2am. I was just always drunk. It was just that once in a lifetime experience where you are literally living with 3 or 4 of your buddies and you have 2 or 3 TVs in your living room. One’s got a game on and the other’s got Netflix and someone is playing call of duty on the other. So it’s an exciting time and you just don’t want it to end or miss out on a single moment. We’d be getting hammered on a Tuesday morning for no reason except someone had a good movie on the TV and we’d already went to the gym that morning. So the life style in general was a bit wild, even just during the off days. I found faith in god though my super senior year. Being 100% honest, I called upon the heavens and promised to give up alcohol if he answered me. In that moment I witnessed a true miracle and believed in God every day onwards. It took me an entire year to get sober but we did it together.
to a certain extent it still is the only thing that i wish would stop would be the artist using vibrato see if they were like these guys Luke and Granger smith and brothers osbourne all would be great
This song stooped me in my tracks today. I've heard it a thousand times before and today was the first time I listened to it. What a powerful song! Some people really do change but we need so many more to do the same and just love people.
Never an alcoholic or drug addict but I did use to self harm pretty bad. I thank my husband every day for being my support system to help me be clean for the last 8 years. If it wasn't for him I would have already been dead. I would have never had our daughter. So glad I changed.
My dad WAS an addict. I stopped communication with him when I was 10. He got clean when I was 18, I’m 34 now. He’s been clean for 16 years. I have an amazing relationship with him now, I got my dad back. I thank God everyday I was afraid he would end up dead. There’s hope for everyone. If you’re going through it don’t lose hope or faith, you can do it!
Well sir I am glad that the you found the Lord. Here is my suggestion, instead of keeping them to remind you of your painful past you should keep them to remind you not to go back to that life and to where hate can lead. Use your "scars" as an example to others. Well done sir, well done.
I love this song. It's so true, people can change if they have the faith and will. I have a cousin who was a drug user and he joined the Army to get him outta all that. He's been through 5 tours of duty and is now in the Reserves. He is also married to the sweetest girl in the world and I just found out that they have a baby on the way.
My father is a drunk, mother is an addict who took her own life in 2011. I started down the drug path. Bad. Hard. Through the grace of God. August 22nd 2012, i found out i was going to be a mother. And i refused to be the parent i had. Over 5 years sober. 2 perfect boys. And a damn good husband. This was the best song they played in concert last time. Was one of Troys last shows. Extremely blessed to have seen this in concert. Fly high Troy!
This song hits home hard! My wife helped me through my drug problem so much and never judged. I’m so proud to be 5 years clean and even prouder to be married to the most amazing women ever! Thank the good lord!
some people change im a witness to that my little brother was on the fast track to jail no one but me and my mom believed he could change that one he woke and asked us for help we took to church and support groups and even when he was home helped him change hes a better person today and he did it himself he is a amazing young man whos got his life heading the right way and im proud of you little brother.
Legends i love it. Amen. Not my dearly missed dad. However i know someone who was raised that way. A lot of people & i have no room in my heart or soul for discrimination nor hatred. God bless y'all & everyone.
When someone hurts, he doesn't understand that the one who will be hurt the most will be him. The task of living together is not easy. Strength is only given by the supreme being of heaven for the redemption of us humans
This song reminds me of my grandma. And a few other people in my family. But my grandma mainly at this point. She passed away two months ago. She was 84 years old but ten years before she passed away she quit drinking. Before that she had been drinking for over 40 something years most of my adult life and my childhood. But at some point when she stopped drinking she gave everything over to God and I believe it was by his grace that she was able to stay sober as long as she did. This past year she got really sick she fell and she broke her hip and just went downhill after that. But when she died she was happy because she knew where she was going and she was happy that she was going to get to see my grandpa and my mom and my brother again along with all of our other family members that went on before her. My mother and my little brother passed away my little brother passed away three years ago of a drug overdose and my mom passed away 11 years ago from a drug overdose. And I think a lot of the reason why my grandma got sober was to show my mom and my little brother that sobriety was possible and it is and it is possible for people to change for the better.
Rip Mr. Gentry may u b in the Great sky with the legends. You had the greatest gift of song a truly amazing voice that people will miss but will never be forgotten
Went on for years until I got myself in trouble. But it was the best thing it could have happened to me, where I surrendered myself to God, went through drug rehab behind bars, faced a lot of issues, and learned that I wasn't totally worthless. I was able to get out of abusive relationships, trusted God, got a job, & eventually went back to school. That was 16 years ago. Today I've been married to a man for 11 years who loves/accepts me, in spite of a lot of faults, who doesn't abuse me.(next p)
God Bless!! I wish more people brought up their families that way. Life is too short to hate because they don't look like you. As a co-worker stated to me (he is blind by the way) in the dark we are all the same so why not in the light.
at the age of 18 I would drink any beer can I could get my hands on it lead me to become a drunk and all that I would be out late nights just drunking and tryin to have fun with my mom and dad prayin for my soul until I hit rock bottom I didn't know what to do so one night I decided to get out my bible and read it I am 24 now and 3 years sober so far and begin going back to church thank you God for never leaving my side
the album for this song, titled "some people change" was released October of 2006. This song/video has been used for years as an inspiration saying exactly what the title is.
I am one of those people whose music interests change, I haven't listened to a country song in around 5 years. But I've been going through a hard time and have been going through inspirational music ranging from gospel to now this. Thoufh its probably one of the only country songs ill listen to. This song gives me hope. Are their any others similar?
ashcraft Don't limit yourself to one or two genres.. I listen to a MASSIVE range of music, there's good, uplifting music in every genre. A lot of the stuff I like is of the "feel good" type, stuff you just listen to and feel happy. There's hundreds of songs I could recommend but check these out and if you like them I'll give you some more- Darius Rucker- "This" / "Alright" Tim McGraw- "Where the Green Grass Grows" / "Live Like You Were Dying" Keith Urban (probably my favorite country artist)- "Days Go By" / "Someone Like You" / "Better Life" / "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me" Travis Tritt- "Great Day to Be Alive" An insane amount more but see if you like those
for the right reasons we all change, if it wasnt for my mom i would still be smoking weed everyday of my life and getting soo drunk i couldnt walk! 4 months ago my mom cried to me asking me to quit and iv been sober and havent touched weed for 4months and dont plan on going back! thank you mom and i love you!
Rest in Peace Troy Gentry you are totally missed by fans friends and family I listen to your music just to hear your voice cried like a baby when I heard the news you were gone.
Absolutely devastated and heartbroken. Saw it on the news and prayed so hard it wasn't true and it wasn't him. Not T - Roy. But it was true and it WAS him. My heart goes out to his family 💔😔 RIP Troy
God Bless Montgomery Gentry and America ... they both will inspire you to become someone better! Just spent a few days fly fishing/camping in NP Colorado ... loving life, God's creation, and humming MG songs!
I used to be a soulless nerd. Got off the medication and started making some friends. Started nursing school. Failing it. And starting a new study as gardener next year. Is it all hard? Yes. But there must be light at the end of it
I listen to this song every day and still bawl my eyes out I'm 6 years clean 7 this April 9th it's hard to believe that some people can change but if they want it bad enough like I did then they can I love being able to share my recovery with others because I know it's hard but so worth it!!!!!
It's so sad that Troy Gentry passed away this afternoon in a Helicopter crash. I'm happy he knew God. Prayers going out to his family friends and fans.
I don't know what its like to be an addict, or be raised in a controversial family, but i still love this song. Brings a tear to my eye almost every time. It is so powerful
I broke the cycle of hate….man the first verse hits home….God bless you all!
Nathan burkey my God bless you and continue to keep you safe I'm I'm glad that you broke that cycle of hate please keep your head up and keep moving forward with your life
They must not play this on country stations anymore, considering how you guys love fascism again now.

yes I have

Thanks for the hugs, Zach.
This song does it to me every time I hear it too just gets in your sound love this song.
+DenaL112 Yep! This song moves me too! Hope to see MG some day in Wyoming or N. Colorado ... may have to travel further to see them. More hugs to you!
I wish some people could see the change in me and not see the man I use to be. I really hate the person I use to be. I thank God he changed my life.
IT TAKES SOME TIME. I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. BUT KNOW THIS; GOD DOES NOTICE THE CHANGE IN YOU.AND HE DOES FORGIVE AND FORGET AND THATS ALL WE NEED SOMETIMES. SO KEEP ON KEEPING ON
Thanks man I appreciate those kind words. I will not give up on being the man God wants me to be despite what other think of me.
things take time be strong
Thank you my brother in Christ for those kind words.
If those people can't or won't see the changes in you, then they are not worthy to be in your life. Keep on with who you are now and keep the faith.
This song is so powerful! I am an immigrant that fell in love with this Country since I was a kid living in México. I came to the States when I was 19 years old.

Bienvenidos de los estados unitos, mi amigo!
I can listen to this song over and over again. It never seems to get old. What a great reminder...people change for the better
This song changed my life. God bless y’all, I hope T-roy is resting in peace waiting on everyone to come see him.
This song changed my life, too. In ways that I never expected.
RIP Troy!! Will never be forgotten!! Love this song

R.I.P. T-Roy. One of the greatest voices Country Music Ever Had 🙏🏼✝️
It gives me chills to listen to this song. It has been a big song for me since it came out and has helped me to return to being the good Christian I always was. Thank God for helping me return to me.
Glory to God!!! I was just like that young boy........Then JESUS SHOWED UP!! I CHANGED!!!
i love how 90% of montgomery gentry's songs have an extremely deep meaning to them......its not just music, its a story or lesson....its great!!
I feel the same every day. I know your comment is old but I hope you are doing ok.
Kenny Chesney put it out first

Why can't country still be like this
exactly... now it's trash
Jeramiah Grimes no Florida Georgia Line isn't trash and they are around today #FloridaGeorgiaLineForLife #FloridaGeorgiaLineFanSinceDay1
not country 1 thing
to a certain extent it still is the only thing that i wish would stop would be the artist using vibrato see if they were like these guys Luke and Granger smith and brothers osbourne all would be great
agreed
This song gives me hope
This song stooped me in my tracks today. I've heard it a thousand times before and today was the first time I listened to it. What a powerful song! Some people really do change but we need so many more to do the same and just love people.
Never an alcoholic or drug addict but I did use to self harm pretty bad. I thank my husband every day for being my support system to help me be clean for the last 8 years. If it wasn't for him I would have already been dead. I would have never had our daughter. So glad I changed.
This song changed my life. RIP
My dad WAS an addict. I stopped communication with him when I was 10. He got clean when I was 18, I’m 34 now. He’s been clean for 16 years. I have an amazing relationship with him now, I got my dad back. I thank God everyday I was afraid he would end up dead. There’s hope for everyone. If you’re going through it don’t lose hope or faith, you can do it!
Someone close to you is fighting a battle you know nothing about
Ain't that the truth
I wish my family could just understand that i need help just dont give up on me
Truth 😥 .. #MeToo
@@vickidavis8879 it's a G.O.D. thing
@@vickidavis8879 tell them that nuff said
Well sir I am glad that the you found the Lord. Here is my suggestion, instead of keeping them to remind you of your painful past you should keep them to remind you not to go back to that life and to where hate can lead. Use your "scars" as an example to others. Well done sir, well done.
I love this song. It's so true, people can change if they have the faith and will. I have a cousin who was a drug user and he joined the Army to get him outta all that. He's been through 5 tours of duty and is now in the Reserves. He is also married to the sweetest girl in the world and I just found out that they have a baby on the way.
Appreciate his service
This is beautiful that you can oppose racism without being woke. We sang this at our latest concert, everyone cheered.
Troy Gentry may God Rest Your soul
My father is a drunk, mother is an addict who took her own life in 2011. I started down the drug path. Bad. Hard. Through the grace of God. August 22nd 2012, i found out i was going to be a mother. And i refused to be the parent i had. Over 5 years sober. 2 perfect boys. And a damn good husband. This was the best song they played in concert last time. Was one of Troys last shows. Extremely blessed to have seen this in concert. Fly high Troy!
This song hits home hard! My wife helped me through my drug problem so much and never judged. I’m so proud to be 5 years clean and even prouder to be married to the most amazing women ever! Thank the good lord!
Don’t know if you will see this 3 years later but if you do, I hope everything you have written is still true to this day
God bless
some people change im a witness to that my little brother was on the fast track to jail no one but me and my mom believed he could change that one he woke and asked us for help we took to church and support groups and even when he was home helped him change hes a better person today and he did it himself he is a amazing young man whos got his life heading the right way and im proud of you little brother.
R.I.P. Troy. You were an amazing singer! You'll be missed!
Legends i love it. Amen. Not my dearly missed dad. However i know someone who was raised that way. A lot of people & i have no room in my heart or soul for discrimination nor hatred. God bless y'all & everyone.
Today is the first I heard this song! All in God's time..........Thank you for this drop to your knees song.........
I'm not Christian, but this song makes me happy because people are turning away from bad stuff
Can't believe he's gone I had a rough childhood hood and this was my go to duo what a tragic loss
My dad is an awesome dad he raised me an my younger brother all on his own and I am so happy to say he finally quit drinking alcohol love u daddy
Just love it. Thanks for at least trying to change people as well as the society.......❤️👍🏼💯
Trying ? We Have ! ! !
When someone hurts, he doesn't understand that the one who will be hurt the most will be him. The task of living together is not easy. Strength is only given by the supreme being of heaven for the redemption of us humans
AWESOME! uplifting...God is working in our lives more and more today.
This song reminds me of my grandma. And a few other people in my family. But my grandma mainly at this point. She passed away two months ago. She was 84 years old but ten years before she passed away she quit drinking. Before that she had been drinking for over 40 something years most of my adult life and my childhood. But at some point when she stopped drinking she gave everything over to God and I believe it was by his grace that she was able to stay sober as long as she did. This past year she got really sick she fell and she broke her hip and just went downhill after that. But when she died she was happy because she knew where she was going and she was happy that she was going to get to see my grandpa and my mom and my brother again along with all of our other family members that went on before her. My mother and my little brother passed away my little brother passed away three years ago of a drug overdose and my mom passed away 11 years ago from a drug overdose. And I think a lot of the reason why my grandma got sober was to show my mom and my little brother that sobriety was possible and it is and it is possible for people to change for the better.
God Bless Troy and his family. RIP my friend.. you will be missed.
Rip Mr Gentry! Thinking of u n praying for u Mr Montgomery! MG does n will always ROCK!
You can see the love and passion Troy had for music. An amazing voice lost way too soon.
Can't believe I heard the sad news of Gentry passing today from a helicopter crash! Rest in peace beautiful soul
This song inspired a novel I wrote...and I wish I could tell Montgomery Gentry that I'm thankful for it.
Nick Lakshmana dasa Mason That's rude and makes no sense.
Nick Lakshmana dasa Mason who abused animals?
Jason Sellers wrote this song, so maybe thank him instead.
One day in March of 2012 I changed instantly. I went from a druggie, adulterer, lieing, thief to a new creation by the grace of God.
This song has never failed to leave me completely covered in goosebumps.
+Mandy Khambekian same
Rip Mr. Gentry may u b in the
Great sky with the legends. You had the greatest gift of song a truly amazing voice that people will miss but will never be forgotten
RIP Troy Gentry. You will be missed!!!
Went on for years until I got myself in trouble. But it was the best thing it could have happened to me, where I surrendered myself to God, went through drug rehab behind bars, faced a lot of issues, and learned that I wasn't totally worthless. I was able to get out of abusive relationships, trusted God, got a job, & eventually went back to school. That was 16 years ago. Today I've been married to a man for 11 years who loves/accepts me, in spite of a lot of faults, who doesn't abuse me.(next p)
R.I.P. Troy Gentry
it's sad that Troy Gentry is gone😟
if not for this song i would have never changed but now im livin free n a changed man soon to b married to a beautiful country girl
l will miss you troy g
Piss off
R.I.P Gentry 😢
God Bless!! I wish more people brought up their families that way. Life is too short to hate because they don't look like you. As a co-worker stated to me (he is blind by the way) in the dark we are all the same so why not in the light.
at the age of 18 I would drink any beer can I could get my hands on it lead me to become a drunk and all that I would be out late nights just drunking and tryin to have fun with my mom and dad prayin for my soul until I hit rock bottom I didn't know what to do so one night I decided to get out my bible and read it I am 24 now and 3 years sober so far and begin going back to church thank you God for never leaving my side
aaron jones sup man. You still sober?
Lame only lived it up for 3 years? That ain't even enough time to become a drunk you were just getting started. But seriously props either way
the album for this song, titled "some people change" was released October of 2006. This song/video has been used for years as an inspiration saying exactly what the title is.
I am one of those people whose music interests change, I haven't listened to a country song in around 5 years. But I've been going through a hard time and have been going through inspirational music ranging from gospel to now this. Thoufh its probably one of the only country songs ill listen to. This song gives me hope.
Are their any others similar?
There*
ashcraft Don't limit yourself to one or two genres.. I listen to a MASSIVE range of music, there's good, uplifting music in every genre. A lot of the stuff I like is of the "feel good" type, stuff you just listen to and feel happy. There's hundreds of songs I could recommend but check these out and if you like them I'll give you some more-
Darius Rucker- "This" / "Alright"
Tim McGraw- "Where the Green Grass Grows" / "Live Like You Were Dying"
Keith Urban (probably my favorite country artist)- "Days Go By" / "Someone Like You" / "Better Life" / "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me"
Travis Tritt- "Great Day to Be Alive"
An insane amount more but see if you like those
Truly sadden by the loss of Troy Gentry. U will be truly truly missed and be loved forever. Angels apon high welcome him home. Blrssed be.....Namaste
R.I.P. Troy....

Rest in Peace Troy Gentry you are totally missed by fans friends and family I listen to your music just to hear your voice cried like a baby when I heard the news you were gone.
R.I.P Troy. Thank for amazing songs like this one
R.I.P. Gentry , loved (love) yalls music.
Rest in peace Troy. Will miss you and your awesome talent.
Absolutely devastated and heartbroken. Saw it on the news and prayed so hard it wasn't true and it wasn't him. Not T - Roy. But it was true and it WAS him. My heart goes out to his family 💔😔 RIP Troy
This song has a real meaning unlike some of this crap that’s out today
A former member of the Westboro Baptist Church is now supporting the NoH8 campaign. This song was the first thing that came to mind.
Go rest high on the mountain Troy....😢😢😢
Vince gill
Love this song. RIP Troy Gentry
God Bless Montgomery Gentry and America ... they both will inspire you to become someone better! Just spent a few days fly fishing/camping in NP Colorado ... loving life, God's creation, and humming MG songs!
No Doubt ... "Fast Cars and Freedom" for example (at least for me)!
Thank You Troy for such a huge and powerful message in this song. Your music is awesome, So sad today, so very very sad. So much love to the family.
RIP Troy.
This band will never be the same without you.
I used to be a soulless nerd. Got off the medication and started making some friends. Started nursing school. Failing it. And starting a new study as gardener next year. Is it all hard? Yes. But there must be light at the end of it
Such a complimentary song for both these legends!! Sad one left us far too early!!
I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE VIDEO AND THE MESSAGE IN IT !!!
I was raised to think like my dads dad thank God i saw the light and left that life
I listen to this song every day and still bawl my eyes out I'm 6 years clean 7 this April 9th it's hard to believe that some people can change but if they want it bad enough like I did then they can I love being able to share my recovery with others because I know it's hard but so worth it!!!!!
shady star congratulations I’m almost 4 months clean of alcohol stop drinking for personal reasons & I haven’t drank since 12/6/18
