This song brings back memories for me. The only time I actually had the courage to call my old man out was on Halloween Night 2009. The irony is he refused to fight me that night. I'm choosing to believe he respected me for having the willingness to stand up to him that night. I never had a problem with him after that. Of course, that is beside the point. Less than three weeks later, my old man dropped dead with a heart attack. He will be gone 15 years this coming November, and there are times when I still miss him. Godspeed, Dad 😢
I think the song is a metaphor for what it’s like to be a father. If you bow and scrape to your son and indulge him you’ll create a monster. Sometimes you wish pain on the person you love because you know they’ll come out stronger the other side. It’s not about telling fathers to hit their sons but more about the internal fight a father goes through when he watches his son struggle and lets it happen knowing that the worst thing he could do in that moment is to step in and save him.
Imagine when the whiney generation hears this song nowind you I'm being sarcastic I love this song I play it for my dad on his birthday every year because i came from a home of four boys and we've all stood in the yard with him and we've all lost to him....here goes this song is a blatant praise to child abuse the dad should have sat down and talked it out using wor....ok I can't do it this is a great so g
I heard this song when I was a teenager in the 1990s, and again over 25 years later at 44 here in 2023. I didn't think much of it back then, but now I realize that the father was an odd person to get so mad just over a comment about being full of it. If someone were to tell you that you're full of it, it could mean anything, or simply just a joke in response to some topic you were discussing, where they could just be joking, and I think you would have simply asked what they mean, or maybe laughed it off and said that we all are. It's implied that the singer's comment to his dad wasn't even about anything, so I think the dad was ridiculous to act so mad just over a comment like that. Would he have been that same way towards his wife on their wedding night while she was still in her wedding dress and while he was still in his tuxedo before their sons would have even been born yet? Probably not. Maybe he was just mad that his son pranked him into eating a ghost pepper hours earlier.
I heard this song late one night as a kid, for the past 15 years I thought I'd imagined it because I couldn't find proof it existed, it gives me hope the other two songs I remember also exist
The Night I Called the Old Man Out Lyrics: The dining room fell silent, I can't believe what I just said I just told my dad he's full of it and I watched his face turn red Well, and I should've said, "I'm sorry", but I matched him shout for shout An' I can still hear that screen door slammin', the night I called him out And he said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out Fist to fist and eye to eye, standin' toe to toe He would've let me walk away, but I just would not let it go Years of my frustration had led me to this night Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right And he said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out It was over in a minute and that's when I realized The blood came from my mouth and nose, but the tears came from his eyes And in memory of that fateful night, I know the greatest pain was his And I just pray someday I'm half the man he is And he said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out Just like my older brothers, I crawled back in the house The night I called the old man out
@BeckyBoo Did you mean this particular channel, or everything from that artist? If you meant everything from that artist, I know, and it sucks! He literally pays people to keep his stuff off of the internet.
i relate well to this song because growing up i was terrified of my dad... but i wished i was able to stand up to him a couple of times but he was exactly like thean garths singing about
This is about a young man and his father having a scuffle. It's far too controversial for most mainstream music services. Now, if it were about drug abuse, killing people, abusing women, or suicide, that would be just fine.

My mother beat the shit out of me for over a decade. Trust me, it hurt me a hell of a lot more than it hurt her. Years of my frustration led me to decide that every single time that I was right.
I'm 44, and given how I'm probably around the age that the supposed father was in this song, if not slightly older, given how it's implied his several kids were teenagers, and some parents of kids that age are actually younger than me, I think the dad in this song was an idiot if he really got that mad just over a light-hearted comment about being full of it. It was a vague comment that could've been about literally anything. The dad could have joked with him back, or simply asked his son what he was talking about.

"Now he'll pay for all the times that hes been right" brilliant lyrics.
YUP! #2 TO #1
That's a pathetic bravy or pride to chalk up. I hope his repent is not just a cover up.
I thought the lyrics would've been "awry" instead of "right".
This is such an amazing and underrated song. Truly one of Garth’s best.
Very powerful song

I was born in November of 2009 and my dad just had me listen to this song so we don’t have a problem

It’s even better when you learn his father in real life was a golden gloves boxing champion.
Omg 😳
Yes, very much the same in my situation.
And a marine
Drill sergeant for Marines, we fought a lot,.cast iron to the knee .any times will stop you from doing a lot

I remember going a round with my grandfather who raised me.. had a knot on my head for weeks
Hearing this 25 yrs later. From middle teens to mid 40’s. Totally different perspective, but still awesome
Dang what was your reaction and who or what brought it up
It's a touchstone memory from ~10, during my CMT days.

The Night I Called the Old Man Out Lyrics:
The dining room fell silent, I can't believe what I just said
I just told my dad he's full of it and I watched his face turn red
Well, and I should've said, "I'm sorry", but I matched him shout for shout
An' I can still hear that screen door slammin', the night I called him out
And he said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
Fist to fist and eye to eye, standin' toe to toe
He would've let me walk away, but I just would not let it go
Years of my frustration had led me to this night
Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right
And he said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
It was over in a minute and that's when I realized
The blood came from my mouth and nose, but the tears came from his eyes
And in memory of that fateful night, I know the greatest pain was his
And I just pray someday I'm half the man he is
And he said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
Just like my older brothers, I crawled back in the house
The night I called the old man out
The first Brooks song that I heard from the first of his albums I bought. I liked it cause it felt like kind of oriental tune to me.
I remember my first I matched my dad shout for shout. I was 16. Now that I’m older I still haven’t but it’s due to pure respect
This song always brings me to tears.
Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Germany
The name of the song is “the night I called the old man out.”
They probably didn't put the actual name so that it didn't get taken down.
@BeckyBoo Did you mean this particular channel, or everything from that artist? If you meant everything from that artist, I know, and it sucks! He literally pays people to keep his stuff off of the internet.
@@marianaamor6319 can you blame him though? He can't support his family if he doesn't get the profits from his content.
I will be singing this in my karaoke group on Thursday thanks for posting.
i relate well to this song because growing up i was terrified of my dad... but i wished i was able to stand up to him a couple of times but he was exactly like thean garths singing about
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thank you what an amazing song glad it’s back 👌💪
Can’t find this on spotify, such a shame.
This is about a young man and his father having a scuffle. It's far too controversial for most mainstream music services. Now, if it were about drug abuse, killing people, abusing women, or suicide, that would be just fine.
None of Garth's music is on Spotify. He has a deal with Amazon music, I think
Happy Father's Day.
I can remember when I went a round with my dad... ouch
YEAH ME 2
YOURE DEFINITELY RITE. . . OUCH!!!! 🤕😢
When it comes to a girl, I have had this. It's truly something I wouldn't want anyone to go through. But it's a true lesson.
It's called learning respect
2024 and still not on spotify 😢. Absolute banger
Garth Brooks doesnt believe in having his music on streaming services, so unless you have a Red In Pieces CD unfortunately this is the best we got ://
Been there saw it with my Older Brothers..... Did it myself.... To this day my biggest regret ........
It happened to me and years later I was dad and it hurt me too
Thank you for actuly putting the real song evwry ones a dick and this songs hard to find
Luv da song. Tell Garth that!
The dining room fell silent I can't believe what I just said
I just told my dad he's full of it and I watched his face turn red
Well and I should've said I'm sorry but I matched him shout for shout
And I can still hear that screen door slamming the night I called him out
And he said son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts

And in memory of that fateful night I know the greatest pain was his
And I just pray someday I'm half the man he is
And he said Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
Just like my older brothers I crawled back in the house
The night I called the old man out
Could someone make a legit lyric video of this song?
True story. Rip dad
I now its hard to remember the people we used to be
Great song
When I forgot he was a Marine
My dad just had me listen to that because he said I’m the one between my brothers that would want to fight him one day
Grath Brooks is awesome
Amazing but true I been there
lyrics would be nice as opposed to a blank black screen ty for video
Subtitles
My mother beat the shit out of me for over a decade. Trust me, it hurt me a hell of a lot more than it hurt her. Years of my frustration led me to decide that every single time that I was right.
That sounds more abusive then what this song is
Life.... Mine
Not lieing could have used a video editor to make it a blank screen instead of having the watermark
Gotta find a problem with errything eh
Thank you
I had no idea what this meant at first
The night I called the old man out lyrics... Where's the damn lyrics??? Wtf?!?

That night I won
I'll never forget when I had to do that cause my old man would hit on my mom I grew and had enough it was time and he never did it again
That's not what this song is about, at all.
great song but I'm not impressed by the video editing
I don't know why this struck me as so funny but lol 😂
