1. Some of the best wordplay and phrasing in country music lyric history. 2. That chiming acoustic guitar strum. 3. Superb steel guitar work. It's the sound of an aching soul. That's my top three reasons why this song kicks ass.
George Strait is the best ever. Love all of his songs. This song especially has special meaning to me. Back in 2011 when I was going thru divorce met the right one for me, but was bad timing and we went our separate ways. Every time I heard this song I would cry because I missed her, and in 2021 she reached back out to me and happy to say we plan on getting married next year. Now it's tears of joy when I listen to this
w6p7a no. most of his songs were written by his two sons. he admitted to this in an interview wishing he'd put more effort into song writing but didnt have the spark to do so. george is a talented singer, but most of the credit goes to his talented sons. without his sons i dont think george would be as big as he is today.
Another of my favorites. Always reminds me of my deceased husband. He passed in '06. I play several of George's songs over and over, but this tugs at my heart, and the tears just roll. I wish he'd never had to leave me 😢
This song always reminds me of the time my man left me for another, but he sure did regret it. Lucky for him, even though I had found a way to get on with my life, I still loved him when he came looking for me a year later. Now we are married, and have been together for 16 years... still counting. He swears he'll never leave me again. ❤❤
So true but sometimes u have to take the good with the bad !!💋💯 falling in love with as many things as possible is the only thing that really matters !! U have to take a chance on ur heart ♥️ to find out wheee true love actually lives
Was 6 years old when this song came out. My dad heard it on the radio, and he sent my older brother and I to the record store to get it. He's passed now and I can't stop listening to it.
I Love this song because lyrics really touch MY HEART❤️ I also like to hear George Straits songs because they are REALITY 😪 people surely will leave a spouse for Ocean Front Property. That's what this world is all about.
Man I totally agree. What's happened to our music. Is so generic nowadays. The content of the music is different. I wish I could go back. I miss those days.
Cherish!!!! Do more than that Love, Respect each other it takes both to make it work so don't put yourself down Love finds you , I was married for 20 years to the love of my life 20 years I never tough I would find someone that loves me like I never knew that love he gives me now exist or would be real 😂😂😂but it takes two to cherish an love it and keep it good luck wish you the best we all deserve second chance or 3rd -4 till we find it×forgot to mention 20 years and he divorce me on my birthday and gave me b/d card saying he was in love with my sister . but I found my love at the end too
@@alexpina4232 I'm sorry u went through that Alex. I'm gonna be 47 in July and last sept.i thought after being alone for 14 yrs.i had found the one. I fell so hard for him.i thought we wanted the same in life. It lasted 5 months& he broke my heart. I feel like I dont deserve love like I'll never meet the one. I wish u the best
His all time best song so been his biggest number one hit of all time should have been all over the radio! A favorite of mine as a child i could sing it word for word and im living it! Yes No Body in her right mind could have left him i had to be crazy to say Goodbye cause no body in her right mind would have left him i had to be crazy to say goodbye cause nobody in her righr mind would have left him even my heart was smart enough to stay behind i still carry his picture wish him well with a new love i know hes found by now each night finds me dreaming each day i spend thinkinking how much i wish he was still around cause nobody in her right mind would have left him i had to be crazy to say Goodbye even my heart was smart enough to stay behind! A childhood favorite song of mine from George Straight a song that should have been number one on the radio and im living it regretting some one i loved more than life go!!🙁🙁🙁
ah yes...the one i lost because of my anger and insecurities. She really was the only woman I ever loved and I will never feel that again. And that is okay because I would always think of her when saying I love you to another.
Listen why do y’all think a woman would just move on??? Not all woman!!! Stay Happy and the right Man will come when you need him!! Patience and True always wins!! The heart knows if you listen!!!! 🙏
I had this song in my head forever, but couldn't remember enough of it to look it up. I'm so gald I stumbled upon it. Has anyone else ever been there, or is it just me?
I know how it fells to loose someone u care about but on the other hand we could never be together due to his drinking . but my love for him will never die .
+Logan Sundberg Dean Dillon wrote this song. Though I agree where you're going. Keith's version can't be beat EEM though George and Keith put so much heart into both versions. Dean... Well... Good songwriting
If my memory serves me right, this song came out in 1985. Well, I have been the COWBOY fan every since. Every time he road in to Memphis TN. , I was right there waiting on him. Oh yeah.
Damn this song hits home for me. Because, i got my heart broken by someone who told me that he would never leave or tell me goodbye. And he done just that to me today.💔😢
@MarcosBryant-xg6nuthat he can really sing these type of songs. And I know how it feels to go through something like this. Too many times to count. That he sings from the heart. And make you want forget that pain.😢
@MarcosBryant-xg6nu I have several of them that are my favorites by him: A Fool Hearted Memory, A Fire That I Can't Put Our, Nobody's In Right Mind, Living For The Night, Troubadour, Cowboy Rides Away are my favorite ones by him.
@George Strait I will could never stop listening to you...I watch Pure Country over and over so much I know it word for word! God bless the king of country George Strait
There are a lot of men that need to listen to this and take it to heart.
This right here. I wish I took this song to heart before I fucked everything up
I can trace the spell
YESSS 😊 👍 👌
And a lot of women too.
1. Some of the best wordplay and phrasing in country music lyric history.
2. That chiming acoustic guitar strum.
3. Superb steel guitar work. It's the sound of an aching soul.
That's my top three reasons why this song kicks ass.
Hands down one of the top 10 country songs ever made!
@George Strait I have not unfortunately..

Lucky man, do the right things now.😮🫠🫠❤
This song cuts to the bone especially when you have a bottle of budweiser in your hand and tears in your eyes.
💔 sorry
You always think you are immune to the troubles of finding love until you lose someone who cared for you. God bless.
There's more whiskey in my Bud can than there is Budweiser these days.
Fuck yeah @caseytorres
So many beautiful songs from my favorite country singer George Strait ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always fight for her if you care for her like that. Foolish pride is very cold and lonely company.. Truth💔🔥
Amen
Truth it is, I happen to know it myself.
@@dorisnight3395 off-the-wall question, but are you Doris Night, the burlesque dancer? 🤷♂️😆
Words of wisdom
BBYTHESEA amen sweetie
Those lyrics! Even my heart 💓 was smart enough to stay behind. Pure gold!
this song went to #1 on the country charts in 1986!!!
Daniel Burns along with pretty much all of his songs. He never wrote that many but he sure brought them to us in his own way.
Brent Boere True. I think he produced all of his stuff.
w6p7a no. most of his songs were written by his two sons. he admitted to this in an interview wishing he'd put more effort into song writing but didnt have the spark to do so.
george is a talented singer, but most of the credit goes to his talented sons.
without his sons i dont think george would be as big as he is today.
@@BrentBoere he didnt write this song im pretty sure
Another of my favorites. Always reminds me of my deceased husband. He passed in '06. I play several of George's songs over and over, but this tugs at my heart, and the tears just roll. I wish he'd never had to leave me 😢
nothing better than George

I can play this song on a loop all day long and I would not tire of it!!
This song always reminds me of the time my man left me for another, but he sure did regret it.

Beautiful I did the same to my wife 26 years ago she is remarried now she was and is a awesome person I will always Love her very much.❤
Your man left you for another man?
Some stories have happy endings.
@@hjohnston77 LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂
Powerful song
Thank you to the King of Country, for this and so many great country songs
She cried when I left her now I cry to forget her, Man that's powerful song writing.
One of the truest songs I've ever heard...
2018. ANYONE!!!! Been listening to him since I was a baby he's the real 👑 KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC 👑
From the sound of that steel guitar to the sexiness in that man's voice, this has gotta be one of the prettiest songs ever.
Way back my days,as an '80's, I love it. Seems not getting old if you heard this music.
Nobodoy like George Strait, he is the Only One singer country music 💖
Don't know what you got till it's gone . God I know that feeling!!!!!
I hear that can't go back!
thats a good song too
So true but sometimes u have to take the good with the bad !!💋💯 falling in love with as many things as possible is the only thing that really matters !! U have to take a chance on ur heart ♥️ to find out wheee true love actually lives
Me too dude! Regret is a terrible thing!
😔
One of the saddest songs ever...King George almost 60 #1's... almost more than Elvis, Elton John and The Beatles together
George even surpassed Conway Twitty, who at the time of his death on 6 - 5 - 1993 had 55 # 1 hit records!
No, King George has more number 1s than any artist of any genre. Elvis only has 18…
I'm not much for country but I will listen to all George Strait albums I love this song❤️
Isabel Velasquez I've seen him in concert 3 times. Fantastic,!!
Every stage of my life was a different chapter and just like your songs they have all helped me along the way.
Everytime I hear a George Strait love song, my allergies must act up. My eyes get all watery...
Man this song hits hard 😭😭
It hits harder for me, then anybody could ever know!
When Someone You *LOVE* Leaves You Let Your HEART❤️ be Smart Enough to Stay Behind
I love this man... his songs speak to my heart.
This song hits the heart 💔 I still remember my first love back in '92 GHS knights
I'll always be here..I can't seem to leave. Crazy me😊
I feel like crying having a good cry to this ole song right here right now...3...
RIP RHL 6-10-50 6-10-2020 💔
Country music is my Dad especially this one 🤠
This song brings tears to my eyes 👀 😢 😭 💔 😪
George Straight is to Country music as Metallica is to rock. This is Excellent.
This is pure gold, it can't be bought.
That why he’s the 👑of country
I was 20 when this song went to #1.. truly blessed to have George. Real county music., ♥️
Was 6 years old when this song came out. My dad heard it on the radio, and he sent my older brother and I to the record store to get it. He's passed now and I can't stop listening to it.
I Love this song because lyrics really touch MY HEART❤️ I also like to hear George Straits songs because they are REALITY 😪 people surely will leave a spouse for Ocean Front Property. That's what this world is all about.
This has been my all time favorite song since George did it in 86.
George is so good at his work it's wonderful for him to share with all his fans ,💖😊 Love an best to ya George 💖😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🌹🌹
Sometimes I feel like this song!! Love George Strait!!💚
This song hits me straight in the heart!
Man I love the sound of a steel guitar
Yeah you don't hear it much on the radio anymore. this is as country as it gets!
Man I totally agree. What's happened to our music. Is so generic nowadays. The content of the music is different. I wish I could go back. I miss those days.
This song really TOUCHED MY 💔 HEART.
The steel guitar in this song is amazing.
I love this song brings back a lot of memories I melt when George Straight sings anyway..
Luv it
she cried when i left her now i cry to forget her.....
😢
😢😢😢😢😢
My heart is still yours Jean!
Reminds me of when I was young hearing my mama playing these songs thats a memory ill never lose even tho shes gone always in my heart these songs

I have recently found the true love of my life at age 60. I'll be damned if I don't cherish this one.
Good Luck !!

A #1 hit for George Strait on the Country & Western charts. It was the 815th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era.
Maybe one day my man will come back.
My favorite George Strait song!❤️
It’s Keith Whitleys song actually
Anyone reading this never leave or hurt the one that's love you

my favorite song .. EVER
This George Strait song is from the album #7 and this is a great song by him💿
How did I know 25 years ago or so when I was 15 or so that this song would be a repeat of the story of much of my life.
if you hate country you have no idea what real music is..
Tim Tebow love George strait but country sucks
This strait from the heart, like you bro
Love 💞Gorge Strait ,and your so right country songs are the best😂
@@tracilimas1638 u suck...why u commenting if u hate control...dumb ass
Country music shows real emotion unlike another type of music. It's the real soul of the USA.
Love this song so much it's my favorite country song
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind! I miss my wife!
This really brings me back #classic
Keith had a good voice but this is dynamic country singing .the best George strait
Kieth > George George is amazing but he didn't write his own songs Keith did though and is all original
+Logan Sundberg Dean Dillon wrote this song. Though I agree where you're going. Keith's version can't be beat EEM though George and Keith put so much heart into both versions. Dean... Well... Good songwriting
+Jimmy Smith exactly
Classic of his classics. Better than the best of George Strait
Unreal song...
Love this 💜💜
If my memory serves me right, this song came out in 1985. Well, I have been the COWBOY fan every since. Every time he road in to Memphis TN. , I was right there waiting on him. Oh yeah.
