For my grandpa. I use to sit in my grandpas truck listening to this song with him. I never thought much of it, my grandpa passed away 2 days ago and now I can't stop listening to this song and not help but to cry. I love you and miss you grandpa.
Sorry for your loss.Even 4 years later for you..I loss all of my grand parents by the mid 70's..I still think of them when I hear this song.Love The Judds and their music..Real country music..
God blessed us with the Judds and my thoughts and prayers are with them with the news of Naomi’s passing. She’s is in a much better place than I could imagine!
Enjoyed going to my Grandpa on my Mother’s side. Big Sunday dinners, all the men outside around their cars talking about hunting, fishing and of course the cars.
Rest in glory Mama Judd, thank you for giving me the many years of hearing your beautiful voice of music and memories better still, I pray 🙏 ❤ our Father sent your sweet angels to carry you home, where there are no more worries, no more stress or pain or tears..you have finally found peace and love for all eternity ❤ 🙏😔
My Dad passed away 4 months ago. I have a time out & listen to THIS song & cry. I also was brought up on country music. Please take as long as you Need.🙏🏻
God this song is needed more then ever these days. It speaks to the heart and tells the truth 🥲 what happen to family’s? They just…. Don’t get along or together anymore… and it’s normalized
Amen, yes it does speak the truth ....truth told there families don't get along any more I know,,, families don't even come around no more like they used or at a family reunion unless it's at a funeral anymore
RIP Naomi! You are truly an angel. Thank you for all of your music. My favorite is this one. My grandparents raised me and this hits hard. Thank you Angel, RIP!!!❤️🙌🏼❤️❤️
I will never forget how kind you were to me on set of this video. Rest In Gods peace beautiful, sweet lady. May G welcome 🙏🏼 you into the kingdom, and May God bring peace to the broken hearts 💔 of all who love you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
One of my favorites- I just wanted to hear this today after hearing that Naomi has died. Very sad ~ my deepest condolences to her family and friends. A huge loss to the world… she was always an inspiration- a bright light. We’ll miss you.
Even at the age of 40, and being in the army, this song still makes me teary eye. I had the greatest grandparents, who loved me and sacrificed for me. I miss all of them, on my mom's side and my dad's side. I thank god for them, and for them being parents to me when they didn't have too. Love always your Grandson
R.I.P Naomi Judd! You will be missed by your fans, family, and the world. We played your song at my grandpa’s funeral and now your singing for the lord.
This song is one of my favorite songs.. My grandpa was a strong man, and provided for his children and grandchildren.. We love and miss you Grandaddy..
Peggy same hear dear.. such a nice and heart felt song.. it makes my day to hear this song.. My grandmother used play this song every morning during breakfast..
Miss you papa 71 years strong 💪 , blessed to have shared 21 of those years with you ❤️ Seen as my best friend , protector , and a wise father.. filled a space in my heart that my father would never want to fill.
Lost my Grandpa yesterday. Still in shock. I couldn't sleep so, instead here I am listening to this song. My Grandpa was 94 and my Grandparents just celebrated 67 years of marriage a few days ago.
My grandpa would've been turning 80 in a couple weeks. He passed away in 2009. I miss when we had the cottage on the lake and he'd show me how to fish, and I loved driving around town in the car with him listening to the old music on the radio with the AC on full blast. and not having a care in the world. He may have looked intimidating but he was one of the most caring men I ever met. Grandpa loved to tell jokes and get us to solve riddles and brain teasers. He loved every one of his children and grandchildren and especially my grandmother--he was heartbroken when she died, then he got sick a short time later. They are forever reunited in heaven now.
Mine was crazy. And mean. Raised his kids to be violent. Lived in abandoned buildings when I knew him. Me and my siblings suffered from his legacy, tried to overcome it, and mostly survived to do it, but still got not much of anywhere with what we were given. The good old days was also when a violent drunkard could make 13 people suffer and pass on that suffering to another 68 people.
+Robert Miller it did get me to try to be a better father, and maybe grandfather, when it was my time. I learned about violence begetting violence, and not having to be perceived as manly by others to have value.
My great grandparents raised me. They were both just put in a nursing home. My grandpa has Alzheimer's and is progressing quickly, but growing up without a dad, that will not stop him from waking me down the isle when I get married in the next year, and this will be the song that plays during our "grandfather daughter dance" ❤️
I don’t have to have a grandpa to fully understand the magnitude and depth of this song. It’s one of those songs that will stand the test of time because it personifies the wholesome past we all long for and know may never have again. Thank You, Judds.
I have a lot of respect for this song, they used to play it on the radio when I was little! It really makes you see how different life was than life these days. You can tell there are also more vulgar languages these days being used in public and it becomes the norm to speak in very disrespectful manners even in songs, etc...the things that people in the older days wouldn't do because it was considered shameful now people these days are very shameless and mannerless and think they're so free to do whatever they want.
Just lost my grandma but this sings reminds me of her. She passed away this morning. I'm miss her so much already. Oh grandma, tell me about the good old days. 💔
This song means a meaning my grandpa told me about the good old days when he was a railroader until the day he passed in 2003,we played this song@ the funeral.
This song never ever fails to make me shed some tears I still remember back to my grandads funeral and the band played this for him and I seen the drummer and I became a drummer because of that and everyday I miss him so much
I'm remembering now why I cant listen to the great country classics like this, the tears cant be held back. I cant believe the way the memories come rushing back when I hear songs like this. Such a pleasant memory to hear this.
So what were we told about the end times? We were told that every nation would be in distress. We are there. Our world is messed up. The good news is that it will have to get very bad before He returns. Which means of course that He is coming back soon. I still enjoy this song and will until my last breath.
When I was a kid my grandpa had one of those big old sliding cassette holders that had three sliding sections in it. On the left side, he kept the tapes that he would listen to when I was around. Bill Monroe, Ricky Skaggs, some old Du-Wop groups, and the Judds. The rest was filled up with tapes like Conway and Loretta, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and others that he didn't think a young boy should be listening to. I listened to this song a million times throughout my childhood and seeked it out this morning after my wife and I have been having some problems. The words ring as true today as they ever have.
I was a teenager when this song came out in the 1980s. Little did I think that one day I'd be looking back on the 80s as 'the good old days', but I do. Circa 1985: The world wasn't yet completely computerized. Employment prospects were good back then. Now everything is completely impersonal and a college degree doesn't guarantee a good job, as it did in the past. Inflation is through the roof and wages are stagnant. Of course there was a lot of divorce beginning in the 1970s, so I can't speak on the personal front as much as on the economic front.
Its amazing isnt it? People in the 1980s still had some sense of morality. You didn't filth and smut every place you turned around. TV shows were clean. The economy was nice. I was only a small child, but I knew I was living in a special Era.
Rest Easy!!! Thank You for Making Real True Country Music. You'll live on thru the radio and videos. Oh and for representing Kentucky so well. My home from birth til now..
Almost 6 years ago, I got together with my family clan, and we decided to have a family reunion. It was a surprise for our grand parents/parents. I asked my Aunt, and her daughter to sing this song for our grandparents....they learned the song together, in 3 days, and on that day nearly 70 of us celebrated our roots in Kansas. A little over 2 years later, both our grandparents had passed, oh, but a day..when that song was sung, on the Kansas prairie.....
Many years ago I printed out these lyrics put them in protective plastic and hung them on my grandfathers grave marker. I loved both of my grandfathers dearly. Today when I heard of Naomi passing, Just had to play this song again and it tore me up because my dad is gone to. Lyrics from this song 👏are priceless and mean a lot to me. 🙏🏻 I may have awful depression like Naomi had and on top of that, Chronic Unbearable pain. What I am thankful for in my younger days was the family values she sings about, cos my father was nothing less then perfect in my eyes and loved mom, giving her 67 years of marriage. ❤️🌼Rip Naomi 🌹✝️
My Pawpaw use to keep a small box Radio on the kitchen table. We always listened to music and sit around the table and talk. Everybody that came thru the door went straight to the kitchen table just to talk and listen to Pawpaw. Miss you and Mammaw. Lol Harold and Allen's Beard. Those were the good ole days. I no they are sitting at a table in Heaven listening and waiting for All of us to come home with my sister Anita.
