      The odds of seeing this written an hour ago - during this season - blows my mind. This song is 13 years old now.

    Had the radio on while I was working the other night, tuned to a random station because I just moved to this area a couple weeks ago. I'm not necessarily even a country music fan, was just checking out different radio stations. This song came on, the music caught my attention and I started really listening to the words. I immediately had to know the name of the song and the artist, and have listened to this song about 100 times since. Has made me cry a couple times ... makes me think of so many people I've known and makes me wonder how they're doing now. GREAT song!

We felt like ( and still do) your one of us. Look man after I heard on that documentary how you did Rascal Flats- HAHAHA 😂 PUTTING ON A FREE SHOW EVERY CITY THEY WERE IN- MAN THATS BEASTMODE!

    I spent 12 years helping my little brother fight a meth addiction, slowly over time he realized he needed help. I called him one day, after hearing this song. And quoted " I got a blue collar 40, I need help unloading the bails and a hammer and nails"..... As my eyes filled with tears I said " come on homeboy, show me how hard you work and get off them dirty old streets."
    An hour later my brother shows up, we worked and laughed all day about helping on grandpa's farm. This song helped me save his life.

    This song came out 6 months before my dad died. I heard it over and over and kept having fantasies of going home and being the bigger man and reconciling with my dad. I was 21 and too foolish and stubborn. I'm 27 now, I've had to live with my regret of not making it home before he died for 6 long years. I hadn't heard this song for awhile, and now I remember why. I'm so ashamed of not stepping up. He needed his son to be there for him and with him while he battled cancer and I wasn't there for him. I will forever spend the rest of my life with this cloud of shame, regret and failure hanging over me. Pride isn't worth anything, if you are reading this, please make sure you don't make my mistake. I love you pops, RIP 8-15-11.

My dad always told me " you know you're a country boy at heart" but I never listened. He played this song for me when I was about 17 1/2 and I turned my life around. Here I am 18 getting ready to move back to that small town I love.

    This song still gets to me...but for a different reason now. I got out of prison a couple of years ago now. This video really sums up the way I was living. The whole time I was in there, all I thought about was my family, and how much I was missing out on with my kids. Now I'm home, and we won't every be apart like that again. The love of my family is what kept me going.

Thank you, Eric Church, for releasing this song.

And i feel it everyday. When this song came out I was hoping they would get better and sometimes I thought they were but for the past two years we have bearly heard from them and now they are both in jail. Talked to the one on sunday for the first time since Labor day 2020. Nearly two years. I love them both so much.

      Worry about yourself first. Then, if there are people who need help, desire help, and you are in the position to help...only then can you help them. Everything else is simply a waste of your time.
      You cannot help those that do not want it...those who don't desire it.
      Today, this day, will only happen once. Eventually, you will run on of "tomorrows". Get out there, kick some ass, and if anybody actually wants your help in the future, you will be ready.

Came straight home after my time helped out on the property. Made a life for myself and now have a wife and kids. I have been home for 9 years and still listen to this song to remind me to stay on my path. Was a struggle at first, but I'm doing really good now. Thank you for this song!

    damian, I don't know how old you are bud, but it's never too late to turn around, and change your life for the better. yes it is true you should never make a move to change yourself for anyone. but the one person that is worth changing for, is yourself. pray, give thanks to the lord, and work hard. your sacrifice will be rewarded. if you can do this for yourself, maybe some of your closest friends will follow. take charge, and show the world you're a hard working man, not a street walking boy. you have the power to overcome the hardships that you will find in your life. you just have to hold your head high, and work hard for what you want, because one day, you will have what you want, and by working hard for it, you will truly be happy, because that feeling of looking at what you have rightfully earned in life... that feeling is truly priceless. don't take it wrong, nobody here is telling you to go get a job on a farm. no. do what you want to do. do what you love to do, because if you find a job that you love to do, it could feel like a life without a single day of working.

      Dunford00 then if you don't think he wrote it then find the exact name for who did write it and let credit go where credit is due. Don't go blowing smoke up our asses saying he didn't write it. Because he and his friend by the name of Casey Beathard wrote it together in February of 2011 and that man has more talent than you could dream of. and way more skill at writing lyrics than you think you've got at winning arguments on TH-cam so if you don't have the real facts then do us a favor and shut your trap cause this man and his friend wrote some incredible music here and Eric Church continues to crank out incredible music.

Follow your gut and listen to what’s going on around you learn that a patient man of few words knows shortcuts will lead you right back to where you started, once you listen you’ll notice the little things in life matter the most. It’s the little things that get you to where you’re meant to be. Stay humble and remember an ego will be your demise.
