The bones are metaphors for the relationship that just broke. She left him. "I went through the jewelry and found our wedding rings, I put mine on my finger, and I GAVE YOURS A FLING." "I'm resurrecting memories of our recent broken home/a love that's dead and gone."
Another great song written or co-written by the wonderful Paul Overstreet. Other great songs he wrote are "Forever and Ever Amen" and "On The Other Hand" by Randy Travis, "Love Can Build a Bridge" by the Judds, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney, and "When You Say Nothing At All" by Keith Whitley.
This is the first time I've heard this version of this song and I like it. I've always liked John Anderson, he's the real deal and Randy Travis is obviously a legend
I agree on John’s voice and style. Always have. Same with Randy. I’m a big Jamey Johnson fan. When Chris Stapleton came out, I wanted to hear them together. Until I heard it. There is so much difference in their range and style. Still love em both.
After Randy's stroke, his voice lacked much of its former strength & timbre. There are a number of videos where friends are helping him out performing his songs.
Love this reaction. Two of my favorites together and I've never seen this. Of course, as others have noted, this is Randy's song. You need to hear Randy's original recording as well. Very enjoyable, great choice.
this a Randy Travis song off one of his older albums, this performance was after Randy had had a stroke so his voice is not quite as strong. But still amazing
Randy looked tickled pink that John was on stage with him. You should try the Bellamy Brothers with John Anderson, No Country for Old Men. Thanks guys.
I'll have to look that up! I'm definitely a fan of both John Anderson and the Bellamy Brothers. I think my favorite Bellamy Brothers song is "Old Hippie". It just has such a vibe!
I don’t believe that she’s passed away. I caught a lyric early in the song that said something along the lines of our recently broken home. So I think she just left him.😊😊😊
Randy Travis was recovering from a Stroke and barely performing. You can tell her didn't have the voice or strength to do the whole song himself. But that being said John Anderson has always been one of my favorites
This song was written by Paul Overstreet. I would suggest his song "Dig Another Well". The early Randy Travis songs had a classic feel while being new. 1982 is a great song of his that I don't believe you have reacted to. My favorite John Anderson song is Chunk of Coal.
The part about eating and the chicken is not part of the original recording. It's about a divorced couple, This was on Randy's Storms of Life Album. You should check out the original recording.
If you do more Randy Travis, listen to “Whisper My Name.” I don’t think it got as much airplay as some of the others but, for my money, it’s one of the best things he put out.
Kieth, I know you kinda like guitar solos😂, so from a guitar girl, if you have not looked it up you should check out vince gill, chris stapleton and kieth urban jammin together!! so cool❤! also after watchin y’all i tried woodford Res. for first time. I may just be a bourbon girl😊
I know I've heard this song multiple times, but I'd never stopped and listened to the lyrics. Regardless if she left him or she died, it tells a sad story. I didn't realize how similar Randy and John's voices were. If I hadn't been watching I would definitely have missed a few handoffs! I do agree though that John sounded better than Randy, at least in this recording.
This was originally Randy's song. This was just a special performance with the two of them. Great reaction to a great song

After Randy’s stroke we are lucky he came back and can sing maybe not to his younger self, but close . And friends to help him.

It was great to see how much fun Randy was having.

John Anderson - “Swinging” . Who remembers that song. And “Straight Tequila Night” - another great song by John.
I agree on John’s voice and style. Always have. Same with Randy. I’m a big Jamey Johnson fan. When Chris Stapleton came out, I wanted to hear them together. Until I heard it. There is so much difference in their range and style. Still love em both.
Love that you did this version. I love them together.

We’ve countrified them!
Great reaction. John and Randy are both amazing singers. You should hear Randy singing “Promises”, with only a guitar accompaniment.
Diggin up bones is actually Randy Travis's song
One of my favorite songs by John Anderson is swinging
Love this reaction. Two of my favorites together and I've never seen this. Of course, as others have noted, this is Randy's song. You need to hear Randy's original recording as well. Very enjoyable, great choice.
You guys really need to react to some Ricky Van Shelton. Any song. His voice was so powerful and unique. He quit country music WAY too early.

put his ring on, flung hers. It's crying in your beer music. Randy recorded it in the 80s when he saved country music.
Sitting in our broken home.
That was originally a Randy Travis's song.
Not sure when this was filmed, but in 2013 Randy had a stroke, and it really effected his ability to sing.
Broken home....thrown ring....hints. ; )
This is older Randy. I think after stroke and health issues. His original recording of this songs sounds more how John was singing on this video
y’all need to hear Dolly’s cover of Seven Bridges Road!!! Eagles also did one, but Dollys is bluegrass sound.
Guys great reaction. Randy wrote a and sang it on one of his albums. You should check out black sheep of the family by John. Have a great day
Paul Overstreet wrote it I think.
glad you enjoyed.
Awesome song choice, Thank You!
John is clearly country music personified

Definitely a great one that I second.
The song was originally done by Randy Travis and it’s about love gone wrong not about someone that died
Yall have to react to Ralph Stanley and John Anderson doing I only exist together if you want to hear him in bluegrass
I have all Jhon Anderson great hit on cd. My favorite is by John Anderson is occasional eagle and you guys need to do it as a vote
I have a vote for a OG John conlee his hit song rose colored glasses
It was originally a Randy Travis song !
They got divorced but he still digging up those memories from that marriage.
Kieth, I know you kinda like guitar solos😂, so from a guitar girl, if you have not looked it up you should check out vince gill, chris stapleton and kieth urban jammin together!! so cool❤! also after watchin y’all i tried woodford Res. for first time. I may just be a bourbon girl😊

Great video!
Please react to John Anderson When it comes to you. Youll love it!
No amount of AI can make Randy Travis sing the way he once did 😢
I think it was the arrangement that made it a "John" song.
It isn't easy working 'exhuming' into a song. "Bones" are his memories. You look so confused.
