I am 61 and this song speaks to me, deeply. For all the city folks, I feel bad for you. In a little Texas town, you know those around you. You grow up with them, play football, baseball, swim in the river, drink beer, then graduate. To this day, still my best friends ever! Sure, we are to the 4 corners of the world, but we are those same kids who grew up together, experienced life together. This song brings those memories alive to me. I am seventh generation Texan. It does not leave your blood.
Damn, Charlie you are going to be sorely missed, proud to be a 4th generation Texan and you sir were a great representative for our state. Don't think you ever sang a bad song to my ears. Prayers for your family. RIP Brother
This song was a classic the day it was released. I graduated HS in 2002 in the Texas hill country. Me and my friends were a bunch of hell raising bullet proof Texans, we scattered to the 7 corners of the globe after high school. Military, oil field, and a couple college football players. We lost touch to varying degrees over the first 10 years following high school. Some of us never left, some are beginning to trickle back into town to visit. Others are planning to move back and raise their families. This song is about all of us.
Me and my boys did almost the same thing....were from Houston and we packed up the trucks and took off for "college" and the best of us lasted 2 or 3 years with a hell of a lot of stories to tell. This song was always playing back then. Some made it home and some didnt. I will never forget those times.
RIP and God Bless you Charlie. This is one of the best all-time country songs ever! You were so underplayed and under appreciated, but Red Dirt beats the shit out of Nashville bro-country garbage all day, every day! Thank you for your fine music, Sir!
Born in Eastern Kentucky Got to Texas as fast as I could in 2012 and I have never went back Texas is my heart! I love it here. Galveston county TX. I love the life style down here!
@sonny parker No I don't, but when I moved down here six years ago my ex worked in the plants. He does NDT level 3 phase array. I'm from greenup county how about you?
Born and raised in south Texas. San Antonio is my home. I've been a lot of places but nothing beats my hometown and I always end up back here. God bless Texas and God bless all of y'all
San Antonio is my all time favorite. Amarillo is also a great place to visit. Both distinct and special in their own ways and I’m from Mobile, AL, live in New Orleans now.
San Antonio is the border to south Texas and the Hill Country. C’mon man…it is know. La Vernia is South Texas and Bandera is Hill Country. It’s one side of the city to the other.
It’s so hard to even listen to this song! Music today doesn’t have the soul/feeling that this had. We have lost a true legend. God, this loss hits hard💔! RIP Charlie🙏🏼
Someday life will take me back to Texas, I'm sure of it. Saw this guy in a Houston record store in the early 90s been a fan of him and his brother since.
@@charlierobison1375 Charlie, you’re one of a kind! One of my fondest memories is seeing you live at Gruene hall back in 2006. Great show, passion, and true TX!
Here from ATX!.... Saw Charlie on the rooftops of the Oasis, for the first time. Walked in drunk drawn to the music, and caught the last couple songs. Of course this was the last song. I grew up with parents listening to country, moved away to FL after highschool. Now im back after 10 years and I hear that, now all of a sudden I'm drawn to country after that night at the Oaisis. TY CR for getting me back to TX!
Such a smooth song. Never been to Texas but both my brother and I are named after Texas cities. I love the line how he would play ball every fall and run just like the wind. Definitely brings back memories
I first moved to Texas in 2013 from Georgia. Didn’t think a lot of east Texas seemed to be kinda the same as where I came from, settled in dallas it was ok. One day last year I just drove west all the way to midland and lemme tell ya God Bless Texas. I quit my job, bought a horse and now I’m living free.
Saw him about ten years ago, I feel lucky now that I saw him. Nothing like a bunch of drunk Texans singing the lyrics to this song at the top of their lungs. You don’t have to worry about them Desperate Times no more Charlie, RIP 😭.

Born in Cleburne, played ball all over the area from Burleson to Crowley and even at the Nolan Ryan Dr Pepper Field, moved to South Tx right near the CC Bay, favorite Bass Pro Shop is still in Grapevine, gone down to Mexico, been through Laredo and the other side also in McAllen, partied in HOU, staggered down 6th street Austin, fish in corpus port a and Aransas, worked in Alice(primarily)/Midland/Odessa/El Paso. Damn I been all over Texas in my short 28yrs! 🇱🇷
I've been here in Texas from February 1st and I'm leaving tomorrow, September 11th. Going back to Ohio. It will be the hardest thing I've ever done. This song has seriously made me cry, remembering I've been to all those places. Houston, Dallas then Austin. And I don't want to go home. Good song.
Joe Wang I know this is an old comment but I'm from Texas and I had to move to Ohio. One of the hardest thing was driving away from the only place I've ever known.
Born up in Bedford, grandpa had a ranch out in Sweetwater, all my family is up in Hurst (Outside Ft. Worth), cousin and his family have land in Krum, another cousin makes his living out in Austin. I graduated highschool in Cypress. After I get out of the Army next year I'm movin my ass back to God's country! God Bless Texas!
Born in Baytown, TX east of H-town. Step grandad was president of Lone Star Beer and my dad distributed Lone Star in east Harris County. Now that’s Texas
Just discovered this song and artist. Thank god for Shazam. When I hear a song I like I hit that app and found so many great songs artists...unbelievable.

R.I.P. Charlie. 10 Sept 2023. Aged 59.
I lived in Austin for a few years and this song will forever remind me of that time.
Reminds me of the hill country, Lampasas, Texas. Joined the military and left Texas. You never know what you have until it's gone.

Lampasas is my hometown
