Clint Black is not only a superb songwriter and lyricist, he is a role model to emulate. I have never heard even a rumor of scandal regarding his professional or personal life, and he serves as an example for being a loving husband and father. Congratulations Clint and thank you! Your music and character will live on.
Our son opened for Clint about 10 years ago and said he’s a wonderful/ down to earth guy who was “as interested in me and my career” as he was in his own!
I had the pleasure of talking to Clint on the phone right after this song came out, as an interview for a magazine I was working for. He was so humble and polite, the perfect country gentleman. I'm not sure if this country is still making men like him. He wrote the story about a real personal experience, where even though the relationship had ended, he could see the positive force it had been in his life. I hope life is still treating him well all these years later.
One of the things I love about Clint’s songs is that he doesn’t need to fill it with bs. He sings a couple verses with a kick ass chorus and it leaves you wanting more. As a good artist should.
So good to hear other people like his music!! I'm not alone! I liked Sunday afternoons after church, when we went to my Aunts house, had lunch, then walked in the forest all afternoon ! Good times.
Clint is at the top of my list for being the most original country music musician. After all of the years of being a dedicated fan , he has always stood his ground at playing wonderful original country music. When you want to listen to true country play Clint Black. ❤
@Official Clint Black I was the guy who stepped in with one of your relatives to do some electrical work at a Wall Mart. Somebody made a terrible mistake and when I connected the cable the contactor blew up in my face. I was well cared for although I could not see but thank God that was just temporary. When I refused to sue or settle a car was sent for me and took me to your bar for a private party for Lisa's Birth Day and when she couldn't make the date you went to her. That is a night I'll never forget and yeah I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.
Just saw Clint last night in concert. The guitarist, Bassist, and drummer in this video are still touring with him today, almost thirty years later. Wow!
A great song Clint Black has a strong beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart great song writer country music today is not the same,😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
I’m Mexican American raised in Texas and North Carolina and I can assure this guy was very under appreciated like rusty wallace...overshadowed by the great era they where from...don’t even care about today’s country
@Lorenzo Acuna @Katie Kurt Thanks for the comments, love and support may God continue to bless you more. Text me on my private mail or burner cell number: clintblack.officialblog@gmail.com / +16196594032
@Official Clint Black no Clint , but if you Tour I will be there front row ! You , Randy Travis , Dwight and AJ is about all I care for , maybe Garth too but that’s about it . I like mainly 80s and 90s Country , you know , your stuff !
I'm a real Cowboy and i wear Cowboy boots, blue jeans, flannel shirts, a vest, a bolo tie, and i Cowboy hat, and i plan on living on a ranch in Oklahoma
Just love being loved bye beautiful lady who meilt as loving you smile baby how saying I love women arms pulling together with sweet kisses say anything is about loving me it all your s
Back in the day when they were both new, I always favored Clint's songs over Garth Brooks. Brooks always seemed so focused on polish and appearance, but Clint concentrated on turning out music that would compliment any good time (or bad) that people were having. A real country music artist.
Hello there. Thank-you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite album of all of my albums you have listened to so far?
Like I said before my favorite country artist is Chris LeDoux definitely second is Clint black. That should be an honor I would hope, God bless you all happy Easter😊
A very Happy 60th Clint Patrick Black. Born February 4, 1962 Long Branch, NJ.. That's east coast but with a country name.. East coast but Country at heart.. Many more Clint Patrick
Remembering Craig 20 years after I left him~ Thank you for sharing this song with me many years ago before I left. We were special too~ I always want you to be happy and have love~ I am sorry I wasn't your perfect match, but we did kick ass and we did have many victories. I am sorry I had to leave you~ but I knew you would do better with a different mate, and am so glad you did. I prayed so very hard that you would find your angel girl~ I am glad that the prayers were answered and for the time I spent with you~ Hope you are happier now~ I wish you all the Best!! Craig Mayfield~ You still hold a special part of my heart~ We just were thrown together, and did our best, and it was good! I know you are a hard worker and passionate about life, and so am I, we just were star crossed and were not meant to stay together forever. I don't hold that against you, and I hope you don't hold it against me. I am happy for the time we had together. Thank you and you were a lot of fun and happiness for me~ You put up with me when I came down sick, and you were a big support. I will never forget that. I send you all my best and hope maybe one day we can talk again and share a few happy moments of memories~ Keep trucking on~ I am doing my best and hope you can remember some of our best times.
Instrumentation, lyrics, arrangements are the best in the business. He ignored what execs wanted him to be. Kenny and Tim and Toby (whom I still like a lot) followed more of a commercial appeal and created a certain image for themselves and Clint stayed his course and disregarded what anyone thought. All the way into the 2000s and his newest album that is about three years old. Not caring about record sales and sold-out stadiums. Most of his lyrics aren’t about the country life, either. They’re about thinkin’, time, “state of mind”, and cerebral concepts. Most underrated by far. Compositions and instrumentation are unmatched. And that voice and range! There will never be another CB! He killed Garth at the awards after their first album and Garth was probably crying and then turned up the marketing machine and stadium shows. He had some gems for sure but lyrics (writes his own), instrumentation, voice, compositions, Clint is the most underrated by a million miles. Best there was or is imo. Hayden is my favorite guitar player ever. And his albums since the 90’s are top notch and overlooked. Sad. Still touring hard!
Saw Clint at Andiamo in Warren Mi. 2 nights ago. Clint just gets better with age. His singing , guitar playing are top notch. He plays one hell of a harmonica too. Clint is a fantastic performer and song writer
l agree with you, indeed Clint black is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
This song and Killin' Time were two of my favorite songs as a kid. Loved them back then, and love them to this day. It was awesome to be able to see Clint Black in concert.
He's awesome I'm concert. I've seen him once and seen my other favorite country singer George Strait twice...all I can say is OMG good times 🎶 They are probably my two all time. Favorites in country music. I can do all music from club to country...music never gets old!. Clint Black and George Strait are true country Superstar 🌟
Loved Clint from the first time I heard him. Always will. Part of the great "Class of '89" who helped define Country in the '90s, which remains for me, the best country ever because of the extraordinary caliber of the songwriting. Love the '60 Ford pickup in the video as well. My dad was a masonry contractor and I grew up around trucks. In addition to a bunch of Internationals, (GREAT trucks but that's another story) we had a '57 Ford F-350 long bed pickup, a '58 F-600 dump truck and a '59 F-100 short bed pickup. How well I remember that cab and that three-on-the tree shifter!
I was born in 1981 and I love Music in general, from Buddy Holly to Metallica and everything in between. I probably have over 100 favorite songs but this song is one of the few that I want to just listen back to back over and over again and it never gets old. One of the best songs in the history of music.
@@ryanball2754 I’m only a few years older than you and I’m kind of the same. I listen to a mix of all kinds of music. I think the 80’s and 90’ was some of the best music although I do like older and newer stuff too
@@ryanball2754 A song that I made an entire " Cassette " of was John Denver's - Take Me Home Country Roads. Today you can just tell one of the AI assistant's to play on an endless loop. :)
@ClintBlack-cx6oy I'm having a good day. Good music is good music all the time. Regardless how long it's been out for. Some music - like wines gets better with time. I'm always willing to give any song a listen and chance before deciding if I like it or not. There are a few genres I don't care for most of it - but those are few and far between. My parents were always listening to " Oldies " ( 50's and 60's ; rock - n - roll ). I was a [ country boy ] - lol.
This song has always held a special place for me due to many past relationships I have been through. But it is this video that always chokes me up. Specifically at the 1:08 mark cause you can see for a second that Clint’s facial expression changes to a somber look. I have been there before trying to hold back tears after relationships have ended.
What do you say when it's over? I don't know if I should say anything at all One day we're rollin' in the clover Next thing, you know, we take the fall Still, I think about the years since I first met you And the way it might have been without you here I don't know if words from me can still upset you But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear I know I'm leavin' here a better man For knowin' you this way Things I couldn't do before now I think I can And I'm leavin' here a better man I guess, I always knew I couldn't hold you But I'd never be the one to set you free Just like some old nursery rhyme your Mama told you You still believe in some old, 'Meant to be' Still, I'm leavin' here a better man For knowin' you this way Things I couldn't do before now I think I can And I'm leavin' here a better man Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man For knowin' you this way Things I couldn't do before now I know I can And I'm leavin' here a better man (Ooo ooo ooo) Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man
After many years of being single I recently met someone I deeply cared about and connected with. She recently broke it off. After hearing this song my whole life, I have come back to it with a new appreciation. Life goes on.
Country music from the 90s wasn't really ruined as much. It was more the 2000s when Country Music was ruined because It doesn't sound like the 90s or 80s Country. It sounds like dance music more than Country. Some from the 2000s wear Cowboy Hats like Justin Moore, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton sometimes does, Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Jon Pardi. Those all look like their Country but Country depends on how it's played not on how they look. Garth Brooks from my understanding was the only Country Singer to ruin Country Music in the 90s because he mixed the genre with other genres. And that's called Neotraditional Country. Neotraditional Country from my understanding is a Country tune mixed with other genres. Like Country was changed in the 90s pretty much because in the 90s Country is mixed with other genres and it's not supposed to be that way it's supposed to be just plain Country. This Country Song is how it's supposed to be because this song was recorded in 1989. If it's a Country Song from the 80s it's how it's supposed to be. It was sang by the heart in the 80s Country because they sang Country to cross their heart like there's a song by George Strait I cross my heart. but now from the 90s and 2000s it's sang by the wallet because they sing them for money. I like Country Like George Strait. Because George Strait is more from the 80s. George Strait has some Country Songs from the 90s and 2000s but he still does it from the heart now.
@@leroyholloman4881 Because it just doesn't sound Country to me or my Father. I like the 90s i just don't care much for the 2000s because the 2000s was ruined more because of what they added to it like they turned it into dance music more than Country in the 2000s.
February 18, 1989: Clint Back made his debut on the country charts, as Clint released his debut single "A Better Man" on RCA Records. Written by Clint Black and Hayden Nicholas, it was his debut single from his debut album "Killin' Time".👍
This is between the classic Country and what we have now. This was back in the good days. The "Country" music that exists now is just Country Rock with a different label.
Pure country music at its best, not what they are trying to pass as country music now a days. Thanks Clint for not forgetting your roots. I have enjoyed your music for the past 30 years plus.
Sludge Metal is worth looking into as long as you have moderate to favorable views of drug use. Lots of interesting and very modern but authentic uses of country music elements by southern artists within the slst 20 or 30 Years in this format. Blues too.
Hello there. Thank-you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite album of all of my albums you have listened to so far?
If you ask me the 80s-90s were the golden years of country musi. Still give credit to the pioneers but in the 80s-90s the vocals were the best they've ever been.
Saw him in Concord at the Pavilion with one of my daughters and tonight all three of my adult kids are taking me and my brother to see him again, this time at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. I'm stoked.
@BRANCHWYNN it's not cool at all now, especially after diptard ruined Fast Car I know we had cassettes back then. I still got some now, but you can't beat the sound of a vinyl record
Hello there. Thank-you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite album of all of my albums you have listened to so far?
what passes for country music today is sad. The genre has been hijacked by that which is country pop. Thanks to Clint Black and others for staying true to the roots of Country music
it's not country music it's it more like hip hop and pop. I'm the kind of mother that still plays this kind of country music to my kids. my son like Loretta Lynn. yes I play music from way back then to my kids.
tell me about it. it's because of the traditional sound that i keep coming to artists such as Clint Black . When this song came out in 1989 Country was still Country - no pop influence .
Clint Black is not only a superb songwriter and lyricist, he is a role model to emulate. I have never heard even a rumor of scandal regarding his professional or personal life, and he serves as an example for being a loving husband and father. Congratulations Clint and thank you!

He's aesome but he did father a child from a one-night stand with the mother. His daughter, Chelsea Bain, is a singer, like her Dad.

Clint, for me, is one the best country artists ever. So many great songs
90s country was incredible, old style country lyrics with a little more beat. Will never be duplicated.
I'm a song writer i❤ your thoughts
Just like cars and wine, the older the better ❤

Hello how are you doing?
You one of my fans ?
How long have you been my fans ?
Clint looks and talks like Roy Rodgers and is a great country singer , not too many many are coming up behind him .
This has been and will forever be one of my favorite songs ever written.
Mine too I remember when I first heard this song 🎵 I thought 👍👍❤❤ I have to have that cassette. I went out and bought it. Now I have his 💿 CDS 👍👍❤❤
@@clarelessard2010😅😊

First song I learned to 2 step to and will always have a special place for me
its pretty bad ass..

I definitely can’t sing as good as him but I have the same values as he does 🙂
One of the things I love about Clint’s songs is that he doesn’t need to fill it with bs. He sings a couple verses with a kick ass chorus and it leaves you wanting more. As a good artist should.
I'm Hispanic, and this kind of music help me to learn English. Positive in many ways.
Me too
Hola. Como estas??? I think 💭. Anyway hi. Listen to Travis Tritt and Randy Travis. Best country singers. Point. Blank. Period.
That's really cool Arely! Thank you for sharing!
I would listen to country music from the 70s,80s and 90s. 👍🏼 Country music started to change after 2000.
That's very awesome
He is a singer, not just some guy who can carry a tune. That strong,pure, voice is a gift!
❤😂😅😀😊😊❤
CLINT BLACK IS THE BEST COUNTRY SINGER OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN!
Keith Whitley
Saw him last Thursday in Cedar Rapids. 35th anniversary of Killing Time album. Awesome!! Greatband and he sounds just as good.
So good to hear other people like his music!! I'm not alone!
I liked Sunday afternoons after church, when we went to my Aunts house, had lunch, then walked in the forest all afternoon !
Good times.
My God, the range in this man's voice is breathtaking! Whatever happened to real country?!! 😢😢
He is one of my favorite singers of all time man. His songs are real, man. His vocal range is just a bonus man.
Amen!!!
You will not find no better than I can guarantee you right now.
It became too corporate. That's what.
sometimes he'll hit notes and remind me of John Denver (another great country voice)
Just saw him in concert last Thursday night. He sang this and it sounded just like this live. Love Clint Black’s music
Clint is at the top of my list for being the most original country music musician. After all of the years of being a dedicated fan , he has always stood his ground at playing wonderful original country music. When you want to listen to true country play Clint Black. ❤
this is real Country
I sat at the table with Mr. Black and all I can say about that is he's a man of honor and integrity. Thanks for showing me that Clint.

my older sister and I got to see Clint Black in concert in our hometown and put on a great show!
I wish we can go back in time this era , country music
I hear u
nothing but magic man
Me too sir!, Country Music now is nothing but garbage, We need Country Music like George Strait!
He is very good, we need more lack him.
I’m still in this era and I refuse to leave
Just saw Clint last night in concert. The guitarist, Bassist, and drummer in this video are still touring with him today, almost thirty years later. Wow!
I'm going to see him in May!
+Dylana Wilson I've done lost count on how many times I've seen Clint. Every time he's in town just gotta go.
I missed him by a day at the fryeburg fair 2 years ago
prylosec or something after thirty years they should be TIGHT!
Bass player, Jake, is my cousin. Guy's beem a musician since he was a kid.

My parents were always listening to " Oldies " ( 50's and 60's ; rock - n - roll ). I was a [ country boy ] - lol.
What ever happened to Clint Black? He was a good singer with great songs...?
Hello Carol how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
This song has always held a special place for me due to many past relationships I have been through. But it is this video that always chokes me up. Specifically at the 1:08 mark cause you can see for a second that Clint’s facial expression changes to a somber look. I have been there before trying to hold back tears after relationships have ended.
I love All Clint Black videos&songs
I second that. This is real country
Nobody sounds like Clint....nobody !! His voice is timeless !!!
There are so many haunting songs in my life, this is one
What a beautiful song and how comforting is that. What wholesome message. I couldn't hold you, and it didn't work out, but I leave here a better man.
he's a kind caring yet manly yet clear things up both comprehend each other self change isn't easy but worth it . thank you this is a priceless song
What do you say when it's over?
I don't know if I should say anything at all
One day we're rollin' in the clover
Next thing, you know, we take the fall
Still, I think about the years since I first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
I don't know if words from me can still upset you
But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear
I know I'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things I couldn't do before now I think I can
And I'm leavin' here a better man
I guess, I always knew I couldn't hold you
But I'd never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your Mama told you
You still believe in some old, 'Meant to be'
Still, I'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things I couldn't do before now I think I can
And I'm leavin' here a better man
Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things I couldn't do before now I know I can
And I'm leavin' here a better man
(Ooo ooo ooo)
Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man

After many years of being single I recently met someone I deeply cared about and connected with. She recently broke it off. After hearing this song my whole life, I have come back to it with a new appreciation. Life goes on.
Why can't real country music sound like this anymore 😪
Cellphones and liberals
Country music from the 90s wasn't really ruined as much. It was more the 2000s when Country Music was ruined because It doesn't sound like the 90s or 80s Country. It sounds like dance music more than Country. Some from the 2000s wear Cowboy Hats like Justin Moore, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton sometimes does, Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Jon Pardi. Those all look like their Country but Country depends on how it's played not on how they look. Garth Brooks from my understanding was the only Country Singer to ruin Country Music in the 90s because he mixed the genre with other genres. And that's called Neotraditional Country. Neotraditional Country from my understanding is a Country tune mixed with other genres. Like Country was changed in the 90s pretty much because in the 90s Country is mixed with other genres and it's not supposed to be that way it's supposed to be just plain Country. This Country Song is how it's supposed to be because this song was recorded in 1989. If it's a Country Song from the 80s it's how it's supposed to be. It was sang by the heart in the 80s Country because they sang Country to cross their heart like there's a song by George Strait I cross my heart. but now from the 90s and 2000s it's sang by the wallet because they sing them for money. I like Country Like George Strait. Because George Strait is more from the 80s. George Strait has some Country Songs from the 90s and 2000s but he still does it from the heart now.
Why can't you sing it !???
@@leroyholloman4881 Because it just doesn't sound Country to me or my Father. I like the 90s i just don't care much for the 2000s because the 2000s was ruined more because of what they added to it like they turned it into dance music more than Country in the 2000s.
@@MelissaPeck-in9tqHillary...?
February 18, 1989: Clint Back made his debut on the country charts, as Clint released his debut single "A Better Man" on RCA Records. Written by Clint Black and Hayden Nicholas, it was his debut single from his debut album "Killin' Time".👍
Can real relate to all his verses since I’m going thru a traumatic breakup that ‘s not just killin’ time but tearing me apart. 🌧️
This is between the classic Country and what we have now. This was back in the good days. The "Country" music that exists now is just Country Rock with a different label.
I love Clint Black. And I love this song. BETTER MAN.
I Guess you're a good country MUSIC lover?
Pure country music at its best, not what they are trying to pass as country music now a days.
Thanks Clint for not forgetting your roots.
I have enjoyed your music for the past 30 years plus.

Sludge Metal is worth looking into as long as you have moderate to favorable views of drug use. Lots of interesting and very modern but authentic uses of country music elements by southern artists within the slst 20 or 30 Years in this format. Blues too.
@@jasonaldean6522 👍
Excuse me if I am not able to do what you are doing well then I guess I will send a message to you but I am just kidding by
There is no country music today

@@joshuajelly4901 ciao amico! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🍀
I went to school with him. Nicest guy you'd ever wanna meet.
what
🚹😻😻😻😻😻
Met him backstage in Albany, New York. Not just incredibly talented - but humble and kind.
Handsomest 5'2" man i ever met.
Wow
He and my Uncle Arthur could have passed for brothers uncanny their resemblance.
Oh God! NOW this is country! Wow…. Music to my ears. And of course, good ol’ George Strait!👌🏻
If you ask me the 80s-90s were the golden years of country musi. Still give credit to the pioneers but in the 80s-90s the vocals were the best they've ever been.
They were certainly that last decades of real authentic country artists to come out.
Saw him in Concord at the Pavilion with one of my daughters and tonight all three of my adult kids are taking me and my brother to see him again, this time at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. I'm stoked.
Now see, this man is still one of the all time greats. Don't sit down stand the fuck up its Mr. Clint Black! DAM he's one of the best!

YESS!
First heard this many years ago. Changed my attitude in many ways. Always brings a small tear to me eye ...
I remember hearing this song on the radio as I drove out the Main Gate on Ft. Lewis for The. Last. Time.
Country music is for the matured minds. Classy, decency and originality ❤️❤️
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
Music City Trucks brought me here!...They're rebuilding that old f100!
I’m crying. I haven’t heard this in so long- thank god for music 🎵
Thanks you so much - and i sincerely hope you never stop listening to music
Hi sandi
Great man please come back 2020 we need your songs in these times
This real country music, hope this style comes back....
Ernesto Montoya it’s back in Texas
Ernesto Montoya Cody Johnson, Cody Jinks, Riley Green, John Pardi, Carson Jeffery and others are either gonna do it or die trying
It has to make a return . It can't stay going in the current direction . Mass produced auto tuned shit .

@@jamesryan5436 I wish they would bring this music back but look what the world has became 😂 it's sad society today is just an embarrassment
I am hopeless! Picking and choosing my all time favourite singers. Grew up with you. Listening to you again!❤😂❤😂
Good lord, I'm 37 and I remember listening to this 33 years ago on mom's record player
Well I'm 60 something and still listening.....
@@conniepitts8392 it's still a great song after so long
Come on now? Record player? Im 54 and we had cassettes by then. I listened to country when it wasnt cool.
@BRANCHWYNN it's not cool at all now, especially after diptard ruined Fast Car
I know we had cassettes back then. I still got some now, but you can't beat the sound of a vinyl record
Ein wunderschöner Song, von Clint Black.
Hello there. Thank-you very much for your lovely words, I really do appreciate it. Tell me what's your favorite album of all of my albums you have listened to so far?
Love Clint, love the fiddle, the steel guitar, upbeat tempo. Great country!
Hello Veronica, how are you doing today hope you are doing great
One of the best songs ever written!
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
Yess!
Who’s listening in 2024??
Here after cma
🖐
👋🏽
Hell yeah! CB 2024!
Me!
Found ya again. Relistening to all the favourites I grew up with.❤😂❤😂
Agreed, I love classic country. New country isn't the same.
what passes for country music today is sad. The genre has been hijacked by that which is country pop. Thanks to Clint Black and others for staying true to the roots of Country music
it's not country music it's it more like hip hop and pop. I'm the kind of mother that still plays this kind of country music to my kids. my son like Loretta Lynn. yes I play music from way back then to my kids.
Ron&Connie Dunyon and
tell me about it. it's because of the traditional sound that i keep coming to artists such as Clint Black . When this song came out in 1989 Country was still Country - no pop influence .
Ron&Connie Dunyon guys like Clint had a talent you can't mimic, or learn in a class. others also, like Ricky van Shelton, George strait, etc
Ole 550 cord on the 3 headed crawdad eater.
Beautiful lyrics and music. I Love it! Clint is da bomb!
I can say I made the effort to see this man in concert . Great memories and good times
I've been listening to this man for years and I'm going to keep on playing his music ❤🎉
Great song with a great message in it,showing you LEARN something with each relationship,even know it falls apart 😢
