I wish Tim still made music like this. His new stuff just doesn't compare. He still is and always will be my favorite singer, but his music is being converted to sound more "modern" which is what gets air time and where the money is. His old albums are the absolute best.
❤❤❤this is one of my favorite ❤️ ❤❤❤what a great song 🎵 and you brought it out at a perfect time freedom of. Choice that what being a free American ❤❤❤thank you. ❤❤
I don't understand why songs like this, that have a REAL story behind them that people can relate to have 300,000 views, yet justin bieber can sing baby, baby, baby for 3 minutes straight and it gets 27 million views. Wtf is wrong with society?
Very few songs actually make you "feel" inside what you're listening to. Even if this song has a dark message it strikes a chord in all of us. It's one song that when you hear it come on you just have to hit pause on the world and life, sit back and let it play.
I could play this song 10,000 times and it always strikes a chord in me, I am not sure why.. or maybe I am at some level.. Just beautiful touching song
I send this to my high school sweetheart 💕 where ever u are Crystal I still miss you . If yall every hear from a lady named Crystal colley from Vidor texas tell her Jason still loves her
free of the folks and hiding from the cops. man i miss those days.i really miss those days.its hard to hold tears back thinking about em,summer nights,dirt roads,country music and pickup trucks.
To me this is Tim's unique little throwback style, guitar picking gem of a song of his collection that is as special as Hank Williams' "Your Cheating Heart" in its own uniqueness to his collection.
Mr Sunshines Mad because you’re still a virgin so you take it out on a beautiful young woman who actually experienced love and loss and real life problems verses PlayStation problems- as we see from her current photo she survived the heartbreak and has a beautiful baby to bring on a new chapter of life and love and lessons. Meanwhile your still lonely and corny with a sense of humor and criticism only a mother could stomach. Hence your Norman bates vibe. Life is good.
Tim thank you and your wife, which in my most lost self of life heard her sing about what is and all family says, however, it saddens me to tell you one of you fans passed away May 25th. Alex loves Jesus and all that goes with family. I am so sad. I was his health care provider for 14 years. And two constance prevailed. His love for Jesus and his recognizing similarities in country music. Why because Not only could he n oil t speak of since his accident in 2001 which left him unable to speak. But which I know Those Who Hear G oh d Always. Will find a tear in their check for now. Thank you Tim. Thank you for Jesus blessing you with your wife who when I my self ran into a pet and veritable wall music culled my distinct disordered days around into the field which we ccx all need to start to go to ward him. You made Akex smile and you to mrs McGraw.
I used to think they chose adoption and the green eyed girl in the cabriolet was his daughter that he basically ran into at a light. Now i see it was an abortion and this song is even deeper to me.
Everyone had that girl/guy from their late teens to early 20s, that they thought they'd be with forever. Not usually the case though. This song reminds me of one those ladies.
One of my favorite McGraw songs, I don't really pay attention to the lyrics, I just love it because its a great song. If you're going to be mean about it, why are you here? :)
This song brings back some painful memories. Just like the song, I dated a girl on and off for over 3 years in high school, and we were wild at first. But as we got older, we grew more differences, fought more, and just overall grew further apart until we called it quits after graduation. Except i was the one that had the ragtop; a blue one matter of fact
I think you brother for this song I thank you for this man cuz you hit it right on my memories in Milwaukee on the far Northwest side back in the 80s and 90s Life is Beautiful and this song was a part of it because it took me back there see you later McDonalds 8100 Brown Deer Road see you later in a room by Marty Andy Thank You For The Memories Renee broom Meijer Marty
i love this song and my favorite line is "well the very first time her mother met me her green eyed girl had been a mother to be for two weeks" and i have no idea why...
I'm not sure you all really get it. Or I may not, idk. To me this song isn't about abortion or just being young and stupid. I was 22 when I met my ex wife who was 18 and still a virgin. The first half of the song tells most of our story, but we kept our children. After 10 years together all it took was one guy convincing her that she hadn't lived enough to know what being in love was and she let herself fall out of love. We've been divorced for quite some time now, but I still remember all the love I felt for her. I see girls just like my ex wife and it brings everything back like I was living that moment right now. This song is about living your life!!! You live, you learn, you hopefully love enough to know what truly having your heart ripped out and put in a freezer while you can still feel it would be like...maybe without the heartache would be nice, but you get the point. He's saying you can't change what you'v done so move the hell on and LIVE!!!!!!! Yes I know that's easier said than done, but you have to try.
my first car was firebird ponianiac had it hooked up with everythign i worked on it alot, evern some how picked up collective music, felt needed ac dc, and some other stuf, you know to make it fastI had this song on my cd, i got it when i was 18... some of my griflriend used to tell me, i could here you when you where outsie or coming down the road, or paked in the garge, ( i had loud ppes on it).... it ment i was taking them out, we were going where ever we needed
People are saying "this is mine and my girlfriends song..." This is a song about going too far too fast and having an abortion. People grow apart after those kinds of things happen to them. It doesn't take rocket science. I love this song, because it is good. It tells a fantastic story, I am 15 myself. I do not yet know the struggles of life, but I know people should not label this as their song.
Very true. People will supplement themselves with other people's love without fully loving oneself; therefore, decision making is hindered and bad choices happen.
Just me driving to see Lant in Arcade....heard this song a year before..over night at Michaels black Friday weekend. Haunted me forever....Lant...the promise..the natural loss...😢😢
@csangel123455 this song is not just about sex its about the lost love of his youth, they made a decision to have an abortion they tried to keep their love but their love was lost....its such a sad song.....breaks my heat
da reson radio stations dont play it is because it says "she was saying plz dont stop" and if ur older then 8 u no wut that means soo...... ya, thats y but other songs talk about it way more and they still play them!
FutureTrucker Jen it's not about abortion , when he said I saw a young girl at the stop light means they gave up the kid for adoption that s what he meant. he wasn't or this song I should say isn't about abortion listen to the song closely
Devina Longbrake First: Punc-Tu-A-Tion... That said, I hate to burst ur bubble, but the lyrics clearly say, "we decided not to HAVE the child". If he had said "keep" instead, that would have implied giving it up for adoption, however when he says "have", that means they aborted it in some way. I.E: "When are yall 'having' your baby?"
tfw you think about a person you used to love and you could say hi but you would probably just disturb their life and family so you say nothing and cry yourself to sleep instead
@covertjo okay, people can take this song many ways. that's just how i took it and what i heard. whenever it says something about seeing a green eyed girl in a red ragtop and how it brought back memories..it was his daughter that they gave up. but if you view it different, then it's fine. or you can just ask Tim yourself if it's that big of a deal..
Nadia Salamah... my sweetheart that never fully became. We lost our innocence together, something I'll never forget... wish I made the right choices more than I wish we had been old enough to have something real.
We grew apart, yet we stayed together. I did what I could to make you happy and make it work. But, in the end, we went our separate ways. “ . . . We took one more trip around the sun. But it was all make believe in the end. No, I can’t say where she is today. I can’t remember who I was back then.” I wasn’t the man with whom she fell in love; and, in the end, I couldn’t go back. 2008-2013 48144 God bless
I wonder if SKB scratches his head and says, Duuu, this sounds familiar. But I was never going to have an abortion and skb was NEVER going to see my child.
@mazadult calm down it's just a song. It's not like he did it in real life, these are just lyrics. And by the way, I am pro choice if you were wondering.
@covertjo okay, people can take this song many ways. that's just how i took it and what i heard. whenever it says something about seeing a green eyed girl in a red ragtop and how it brought back memories..it was his daughter that they gave up. but if you view it different, then it's fine. or you can just ask Tim yourself if it's that big of a deal..and i didn't say anthing was wrong with that?

If the lyric had said "we decided not to KEEP the child", it would have been ambiguous as to whether it was referring to abortion or adoption and then left open the possibility that the young girl with green eyes he was stopped at the light next to was in fact his own daughter. This would have made an already great song even better imho.

I lived this song, decades ago. He's now a great dad and a grandfather. I never had kids. But he and I are still friends. Great song.
This song is so underrated.
1000%
FACTS. And this is coming from a 🇲🇽 from Valdosta Georgia 🏌️♂️👍🍻
...I rate it pretty highly.
A soft 4 out of 5 is about right.
-MCC
Yes it is
Came back thinking about this song, It will always, always carry a spot in my heart.
I wish Tim still made music like this. His new stuff just doesn't compare. He still is and always will be my favorite singer, but his music is being converted to sound more "modern" which is what gets air time and where the money is. His old albums are the absolute best.
Carly S my name is Carly S too. Very cool....
Tim was arguably always modern country or at least the start of it. Kenny and Tim were breakaways from Garth, Alan, Travis, Clint and B&D
i absolutly love this song. I like the whole story line of it. My favorite part is when he sees a girl at the red light and he remembers everything.
adding that "lovin me" at the end of the second chorus is killer
It’s the tear breaker
such facts. i can’t take it
SneakyZeke agreed
❤❤❤this is one of my favorite ❤️ ❤❤❤what a great song 🎵 and you brought it out at a perfect time freedom of. Choice that what being a free American ❤❤❤thank you. ❤❤
This song hits home right now. Life hits hard at this age. She moves away and I'll never forget the day she said she didn't love me anymore.
I don't understand why songs like this, that have a REAL story behind them that people can relate to have 300,000 views, yet justin bieber can sing baby, baby, baby for 3 minutes straight and it gets 27 million views. Wtf is wrong with society?
This song has 3.9 million views. Lmao
Amen
Jake Helton yeah and Justin Bieber’s Baby is over 2 billion lol
Tyler Belchio
Both songs are really good.
Just say you love this song and stop comparing them.
Very few songs actually make you "feel" inside what you're listening to. Even if this song has a dark message it strikes a chord in all of us. It's one song that when you hear it come on you just have to hit pause on the world and life, sit back and let it play.
Because Tim had some great song writers.
This song really hits home all about being in love then growing apart and trying to have no regrets really hard choice to make this song is amazing
The same old story of young love that we all think will last at the time. Sadly it never does.
The point isn’t it ended but that it happened in the first place
@@bridgelaurie9490 lol okay.
@@bridgelaurie9490 Most of it happened. The best part is that she never had an abortion. She would NEVER kill her baby!
This makes me cryy:(
country music isn't really my thing.. but this man. i'm obsessed.
I could play this song 10,000 times and it always strikes a chord in me, I am not sure why.. or maybe I am at some level.. Just beautiful touching song
i was about to post something along those lines and saw your comment, must be on your level
I agree
because we all remember the day someone amazingly important stopped loving us.
I send this to my high school sweetheart 💕 where ever u are Crystal I still miss you . If yall every hear from a lady named Crystal colley from Vidor texas tell her Jason still loves her
free of the folks and hiding from the cops. man i miss those days.i really miss those days.its hard to hold tears back thinking about em,summer nights,dirt roads,country music and pickup trucks.
I got busted with my girlfriend at a boat launch not too long ago, I smile every time I pass it
This song gives you a warm feeling inside, just like love. The songs about him and how he will always remember his first TRUE LOVE
In the back of that red rag top, she said please don’t stop, and I splooged in her... lol but seriously I love this song..
To me this is Tim's unique little throwback style, guitar picking gem of a song of his collection that is as special as Hank Williams' "Your Cheating Heart" in its own uniqueness to his collection.
Balling at this song because I’m 20 and 18 weeks pregnant. My boyfriend left me because I refuse to get an abortion. Hardest decision of my life...
@ike fun you're being quite the dick
I'm so sorry. I wish you the best.
Mr Sunshines Mad because you’re still a virgin so you take it out on a beautiful young woman who actually experienced love and loss and real life problems verses PlayStation problems- as we see from her current photo she survived the heartbreak and has a beautiful baby to bring on a new chapter of life and love and lessons.

It’s been a year - I hope you’re doing alright and that motherhood is treating you well. Judging by your pic, you have a beautiful baby!
You made the right decision. Even if it was a hard one. Your child will always be thankful that you chose life :)
