I kept my sons Bible, my service pistol, and a sealed bottle of Jack Daniels on my fireplace mantle. I lost my son to an IED in Afghanistan 3 weeks after I retired from a 35 year Army career. We had one day together in Germany as I was rotating back to the states and he was deploying to Afghanistan. One day I opened his Bible while listening to this song. Inside my son wrote " one day I will tell my dad he's my hero". My son is my hero. The gun is packed away, the liquor was poured down the sink and the Bible still sits on the fireplace mantle.
Chris, from one military family to another, I thank your whole family for their service -- because when one family member serves, the WHOLE FAMILY serves -- and I am so, so sorry for your loss!!!
Me and my husband lost our first born child a son almost 30 years ago and when Craig released this song it started to give me closure. I had a ton of healing from this song. Losing a child is no club anyone should ever be in.
As a mother and grandmother I can't even imagine what you went through, but I'm so glad to hear that you have started to heal. Sending you a virtual hug 🤗 my dear.
@Kathy Livedinthe60s When my Mom passed at 58, the only person I felt more sorry for than myself was my Grandmother😔 It’s just not the natural order of things, or at least as we perceive and expect them. Of course, we’re not really in charge. I’m so glad you can find music healing and cathartic. Blessings to you always! 💔❤️🩹❤️
Big hugs from one bereaved mother to another. Losing a child is the hardest thing a parent can ever go through. I also lost my first born, when she was a week old. She would have been 17 last April. I'm so glad this song has helped you start healing.
He wrote this song for his son, who died in a water tubing accident. You must listen to a Live performance to feel 100% of the raw emotion of the song!!
Watching that performance, while physically he is at the Grand Ole Opry, you can see, mentally, he's not there. He is in a completely different time and dimension. Completely heart wrenching.
As someone else stated, he wrote this after his teenage son drowned. I believe he wrote it all in one evening, just trying for catharthis. He wasn't even necessarily going to publish it, but Blake Shelton pushed him to do so and pushed the audience to listen. Craig hasn't been in the spotlight for quite some time, but he had a lot of popular hits in the early 2000s. Here's a lighter, fun one that still has the detailed storyteller qualities you like. It's a video, but even when you just hear the words, you can see it, feel the heat and smell the country. th-cam.com/video/ePjFAZKWKVo/w-d-xo.html
Great music Great show, Can I get an opinion from the comments section , I been rapping for years and just recently started singing a bit . I am Afraid I only sound good to myself , Not afraid to admit it but its Stressing me out hard... If I was told I should quit it would motivate me just as much as if I was told I was Great. I guess it doesn't matter... Idk?
Sad but true story. He couldn't get through this wo crying for a long time. Recommend This Ain't Nothing, Almost Home, What I Love About Sundays... so many. He's a great writer who takes this old rock girl on a journey every time. All the best to you and your channel - you've got a good vibe!
Please stop talking while they're singing. You're pausing and talking and even talking WHILE they're singing. So then what's the point in pausing it then?!!
“Rappers are really good story tellers” yeah that’s why 90% of those trash songs talk about drugs and alcohol and killing people. 😂 that kinda crap is anything but a good story. Maybe back in the 90s they where good however even a lot of those songs often talked about drugs and alcohol. This is coming from someone who originally liked rap till I realized how trashy those songs really are.

i lost my youngest son in 2009 , he was 24, i feel this song to my core
This song makes me cry, without fail, every time.
I feel that
I kept my sons Bible, my service pistol, and a sealed bottle of Jack Daniels on my fireplace mantle.

I am so so so sorry for your loss ❤️ sending love
Chris, from one military family to another, I thank your whole family for their service -- because when one family member serves, the WHOLE FAMILY serves -- and I am so, so sorry for your loss!!!
Thank you for your service and your son is now a hero in my life too. I wish I could thank him too
Thank you for pouring out the JD & packing up that pistol. Better that...
Jacob, if you want to see and feel the pure emotion of this song, you have to watch him perform this song on the grand ole Opry
Oh wow! Thanks Kenny
I agree. The emotion and relief when he’s finished is crushing.
100%
And Kelly Clarkson show
I agree. Heart-wrenching. It was his first time singing it in public.
Your Colorado song-I live in nebraska and we vacationed in Colorado a lot growing up and my brother lives near Denver
Nice!!!
He wrote this song after his son, Jerry died in a tubing accident. He was only 19 years old 😢
So terrible!
Yes he did lose his son …..I love this song thank you for put it on …..my daughter passed away march 4 2024 just 8 weeks ago 😢😔💔😭💜🙏✝️😇
Country music always seems to tell a story. You should listen to the grand Ole Oprey verson

He lost his 19yr old son to drowning. He wrote this song shortly after
Oh man……
This is a true song his son died in a tubing accident he was 19
❤️
Yes his son died in 2016 in a tubing accident. They have adopted him a few years before.
I was at the Opry when he did this the first time, I bawled watching the pain in his voice
❤️❤️

Oh mannnn

Phenomenal!
So good
I was almost home is another great song by Craig. I don’t see how he could make it through this song without breaking down.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
His son died he was 19
❤️❤️
I’ll Be Home Soon- Craig Morgan! Great Song…..and love Colorado!
Thank you!
Should listen to his song This Ain't Nothin
Nice!!
He woke up in the middle of the night and wrote in then.
Oh wow
Sheesh!
totally
Even in this video you can see the pain in his face , so sad for a parent to have to go through that
❤️

Oh wow!!
Yes his son drowned at 19
That’s so terrible!
Why must you keep stopping it, if you would only try listening you might get it a lot faster.
But then I wouldn’t be able to share any thoughts 😊
Craig is the best!
:)
Some tracks you just don't need to react so much on
Apa kalian mau cuma segitu" terus

This ain't nothing is another great one from craig Morgan
Oh nice!

If you feel like you’re meant to do it, go for it. Don’t let any other voice influence it
Sad but true story. He couldn't get through this wo crying for a long time. Recommend This Ain't Nothing, Almost Home, What I Love About Sundays... so many. He's a great writer who takes this old rock girl on a journey every time. All the best to you and your channel - you've got a good vibe!
awman, It really is!!
thankyou
Any james arthur reactions coming? Please react to ‘silent night acoustic’ cover and ‘wolves- live at the royal albert hall. Please.
Thanks

Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy!
