I ran away when I was 17/18. I was gone for over 3 months. I was doing bad things and into drugs and made up lies about my dad so I didn't have to go back and so the school wouldn't let him in the building to see me. I was "having fun."I was with a boy and bouncing around from house to house, sometimes going home with strangers we just met for parties. But eventually it got wayy to real and dangerous. But i felt stuck..i.wanted to go home, but I thought he hated me and would never take me back. I was walking to the bathroom at a random friends house one night, and this song started playing. I sat on the floor and just started sobbing. I felt like this song was meant for me. I called my dad the next day. All I said was I heard this song called Hurry home....he cut me off.....he said I'd heard it too. I was praying to god you would hear it and come home. I sang it every night for you. Where are you? I'll come get you. I love you. I still can't listen to it without crying. If I hadn't come home, I would have been dead or behind bars. This song saved my life. I am 31 now, a pediactric nurse and mother of 3.
@reekacarnline3417 my story isn't like yours, but I also messed up, gave up a nursing career. Got myself together, went to school, got to be a nurse before a genetic disease that I had to retire. Got to live my dream and lived long enough to come to God and at 64, don't have long to live but you know, not afraid, no matter what I've done, where I've been, I have the assurance of Heaven. I spend my days writing a book for my family only and ministering to people. I will get angel escort home because I came home to God, to Him, my Father. May God Bless you. So glad your life has bettered for you
So glad you turned your life around. I did as well. Lifes too short to wander without a clue. When we are young we make mistakes. We do as adults as well. God bless🫂💖🙏🙏🌷
Yeah only those who fit a certain mold and can follow orders and keep it quiet about the reality of the industry have the chance to make it big.. He is too relative and down to earth, they would have distoyed him.
The man playing the father in this movie is a pastor of a church in downtown Nashville. I know him cause I used to play basketball with him at the YMCA in Brentwood TN multiple times a week when I lived there. He is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.....very friendly and caring. I actually just played basketball with him the week before this past Christmas when my wife and I went back home to visit family for the holiday
I love how this has a Christ-like image of someone searching nonstop for someone they love, welcoming them back with open arms and forgiving them for countless terrible things.
I think this song makes people realize especially teenagers that no matter how badly they mess up they will always have their parents to fall back on & won't get turned away
I ran away from home almost 3 months ago. I was gone for 2 weeks. I thought I was in love with a guy so I ran to be with him. Things went to hell real quick. I cried every day I was gone and every time I called my dad I was in tears. I called him exactly 2 weeks after leaving, begging him to get me out of the situation and telling him how sorry I was. Within two hours he bought me a bus ticket and two tickets home. I thought he wouldn't want me, but he welcomed me home. Thank you dad.
My dad has been gone for almost 3 years. I would give anything to be able to home to him. Those of you who have a dad don't take it for granted love them everyday!!
This song makes me cry so hard! My sister left home a couple of years ago and this song came on the day that she came back. That day means so much to me, especially right now since my father had a heart attack early this year.
Where has Jason Michael Carroll been as of late? He has such great songs! It's a shame a lot of the better country artists get drowned out by all the new country pop.
He was at a small Bluegrass Festival at Mandolin Farms near Flemingsburg, KY a couple of years ago. That's probably all he does now. It's sad because he's a really great singer.
Beautiful father-daughter relationship song. It shows that no matter how much one screws up our parents will always loves us and take us back. Unconditional love :)
This does have a very religious inuendo God is the father and we as sinners are the "runaway" who is running away from sin and the punishment of god who wants to show his children love.
My deepest condolences to you and your family 😔 on the 27th it's gonna be two years my Dad passed. I wasn't there and my heart is forever broken 💔 God bless my friend
my dad plays this song to me all the time we never had the bestest father daughter relationship but we're tryin now and it feels so much better than sitting there and fighting every day! my dad is my heart and soul and i love him so much!!!
My brother just sent me this link to this video...I'm in tears. It's been a long road, and I ran away from everyone and everything, got lost, turned to drugs, git clean and changed my life around...and now it's time to come home!
This song makes me tear up. I know it's not a love song or anything, it just hits home for some reason. It's just that the dad was so caring and persistent. It reminds me of my own dad somewhat and how a true father's love is never around for just a little while, it's there forever. It reminds me and makes me appreciate that my dad is here, always loving, always caring. No matter how old I get, I'll always love you dad.
I've spent atleast 2 years trying to find this song i haven't heard it since I was little, all I remembered was the part where he played guitar on voicemail
I was about to give you a big long lecture, and yell at you for turning down legitimately good people who are throwing their hat in the ring. But I since saw your picture, and saw that this comment was from 6 years ago. Glad you found the person
@@michaelburgoyne328 no offense man. But, you are not going to find someone who loves you and wants to be with you if the initial attraction is not there and they don't get to know your personality. I'm sure you're a great person. But the fact that you are literally extremely heavy, shows a lack of willing to take care of yourself. And a high value woman who has that wonderful trait to offer is not going to be necessarily interested in doing it with you, because they have so many people who will be pursuing them. You would be drowned out by the competition and currently are, if that's your picture. You got to take care of yourself, you got to be high value yourself. You're not going to attract beautiful or extremely caring women if you don't even care about yourself. You can be offended if you want to but this is advice that will save your life, and save your Love life. Take it or leave it don't really give a s***
i have two young daughters, they havent run away or anything, but this song makes you think about what could happen, damn, this song is part of whats right in this world.. forgiveness and love.
Growing up listening to rap, every now and then I'd listen to country usually just when my mom played it. At the beginning of my senior year in high school about a year ago I started listening to way more country. Now I rarely listen to rap. Country has changed my perspective on music in so many ways. I love country. Songs like this just remind me of how awesome country is!
I have always listened to country my whole life just recently start to listen to some rap(country rap and such) but country always to me has better more meaningful lyrics.
this is a huge daddy daughter song. me and my dad love this song. the first time we heard this song he said that if i every ran away he would look for me and never give up! i started to cry and say that i loved him too much to run away! im only 12 and this song effects me it is a song with a meaning and it can teach u a lesson.
I think that no matter how old you get, you always have to recall how much your parents love you, I am 21 years old, and very thankful for both of my parents I love you both thank you for everything that you do!
My Dad and I used to be very close when I was a kid but then I just became distance from everyone - even him. Things didn't help when my parents split up and I had to stay with my Mom. But just a year 1 1/2 ago I move with him to help him raise my little brother and we have grown more close then ever. I LOVE YOU DAD.
im 20 years old and i have a 3 yr old son, his dads not around and its hard. Growin up my dad always told me i wouldnt no what love was till i had a kid of my own... and let me tell ya daddy was right!!! my son means everything in this world to me!! when he calls me mommy sometimes i want to cry!! as parents we all make mistakes but we have to let our kids know we love them!! matthew baby mommy loves youu!! and daddy thanks for always being there!! i love you daddy.. love always, amber
WOW, THIS LITERALLY BROUGHT TEARS FROM MY HEART!!! I REMEMBER MY DAD SAYING THIS TO ME YEARS AGO BEFORE HE PASSED!! I HAVE TRULY BEEN HURTING IN MY SOUL MISSING HIM & AME ACROSS THIS SONG & it's like he was talking to me from heaven!! Thank You for recording this song, TRULY WISH I COULD GO BACK HOME & HE WOULD STILL BE THERE!!! GOD BLESS & THANK YOU AGAIN, THIS SONG TRULY TOUCHED MY SOUL!!! :)
I wish I could say that I miss my father I have never seen him in my whole life I would never call him dad.. I have no respect for him his name is Larry gene Moore st. I will get relief when he is dead and gone
Same here, regardless the fact he sits on his ass all day playing solitaires on the computer. He's my Dad and best friend. I've told him some of my deepest secrets and feelings, and it's nice to just hear that loving "I understand, time are tough and you gotta keep keepin' on" :)
Yeah same with my dad. He kinda left when I was 12 though. He was young and couldn’t handle my anxiety disorder. Only speak to him on Christmas/ my birthday. I miss him being my best friend sometimes
I heard Jason Michael Carroll's "Hurry Home" I sat down as tears filled my eyes. It was a son and mother that filled my thoughts. My son felt at 16 he was grown and moved out because I had rules. I had two grown children already out of the house and a younger son that was 15. I told him no matter what, he could always come home. He called me, I went and got him and brought him back home. He's home now after 4 months. I love you Joesph and Always remember you can always come home. Mom
Actually one of the things I love about this video is it shows the father and boyfriend working together to find her. It shows she is loved by both her father and a good man. It may seem old fashioned but I always liked it when the parents of whoever I might be dating liked me too. I truly love this video as well as the song.
I moved out when I turned 19, I never thought how hard it would be to come home without my daddy to hug me. I get homesick all the time, I wish I could move back in the same town as him.
What a beautiful song...one that tears at the heart of any father. My baby girls are 24 and 22 and I would go to ends of the earth and storm the gates of hell itself if need be, to bring them home.
Most parents;mothers and fathers,aren't like this so when you have parents that are like this you have to love them. They really love you and don't allow themselves to get so caught up in their own personal beliefs to impede their love for their child. More parents;mothers and fathers not just fathers,need to make this song their motto. There is so little parental love these days and then the parents wonder why their children never come see them. God bless loving parents.
jason is from my familys home town and would come into the city tavern on occation. hes the most down to earth person and just as sweet as can be. i watched his career and you are right he falls right up there with the great ones. and this song here prooves it. it means something just like alysa lies. best song ever. love you jason michael keep keeping it real
This song makes me think of my dad. I've been moved out for a year now and every time I hear it, I cry. I know my dad will always love me, no matter how far away or no matter what decisions I make.
Oh this song makes me cry so badly... Dad I love you, you are the best and thank you for everything you do for me and all the shit you got to go trough in life.... And still you keep that smile on your face, you are just awesome.
I lost my dad when i was 13,i'm going on 18 now and everyday since i think bout him.. i never fought with him, or anything but my rebellion did make him mad, but he was always there telling me that he loved me and that he was my age once and that ill grow outta of it.. I came to a hard spot in my life and now i wish he was here to help me out, cuz he was my bestfrnd and the only one that i used to listen to.. I LOVE AND MISS YOU DADDY!
I love this song! It brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. God Nikki, I wish you would come home. I miss you little girl, and a dad's love never ends.
the first time i heard this was right after my dad had kicked me out, i was on my way to my friends house with her mom and it came on and after listening to it, i cried for hours. he finally said sorry and things still arent perfect, but there getting better. now it's my favorite song
Lord, the message of this song has played in my heart since yesterday. Had to write the story line to inquire for the title from a country music lover I know... Now here replaying ❤❤❤ It doesn't matter what you have done, hurry home... It feels like words God keeps saying to each of us ❤🥰 Sometimes country music gives me the feeling that it's a God chat in song form
What a nice video....Jason Michael has such a deep grand voice and actually looks like one of my old bfs.....funny, so many things goes through your mind when watching a video.....this unconditional love is that ONE bond I feel is ONLY found between a parent and child.....and that relationship can sometimes be bumpy; but, parents really do want just is Best for the child. I've been lucky with mine......but we have been in the SAME spot the younger generation is going through and NOW we can see things much clearer. I'd give my right arm to be twenty again!
reminds me of when my brother ran away I was so scared I feared the worst and when he showed up after a week I was mad because he put me through hell just worrying but I was happy to have him home.
this happened to me too except its been three and a half years and he hasn't come home yet, but this song also reminds me of my brother, im so glad yours made it home
Justa G no i haven't unfortunately i dont know where he is and do not have a number to contact him at i have an idea of where he might be but i dont know
I was on drugs a couple years ago and kept running off for weeks at a time and it hurt my mom and dad so much. This reminds me of dad.. I'm so glad I got sober.! 🖤
Love this song! Jason is beautiful, his voice is beautiful, and his songs are beautiful.... And to those out there who may be mad at your parent(s), call home. I have some of the worlds best parents! And, as a parent now myself, I would go crazy not knowing where my babies are at.. And yes, I said babies.. No matter if you're 5 seconds, minutes, hours, days, months old, or 500 millions years old, you will ALWAYS be your parents babies. I know mine will always be my babies. My kids are my life.
i absolutely love this song:_)..i miss him every day of my life.always will.i wish i could hear his voice say this again..rip daddy.thanks for never judging me.God has you but ill see you there..hugs til then from me and sissy.and thanks for being made of bootleather.:_)
WOW...my husband and his oldest daughter are going through the same thing right now, I wonder if I send this to her if she will finally understand how much he is hurting without her
The last part gets me more, I have a 2 year old girl, songs like this bring tears to my eyes cause it reminds me she's gonna grow up and leave me, I'm only 24 so thinking about that makes me sad,
Wunderschöner Song Jason ich habe dich in Germany🇩🇪durch einenCountrynsender kennengelernt und mir gefällt sehr deine außergewöhnliche schöne Stimme ich liebe sie wie alle deine Songs Grüße zu dir 🇺🇸😍🙏Halleluja 🙋♀️
this song gets me everytime. I listened to it when I first started playing on the radio in 2009, I was 13 at the time but I was still as sensitive then as I am now and I cried. I just found this song again today and bawled my eyes out. I'm now 19, with PTSD, anxiety and depression. this song touches your heart. I still love it even if it makes me cry.
I know this comment is 7 years old now, but I know the struggle... I've also got ptsd, depression, and anxiety. So much so that it's caused me to develop conversion disorder 😕 I'm sorry you're experiencing all of that.. well hopefully you've overcome it all in the 7 years
There is no love given to us by man that could ever amount to even the smallest fraction that is given to us by Almighty God. This song is very touching, and I think it’s important for children to remember that their parents will always be there for them, however, sometimes we search for something in man that can only be found in God. In the end, people who run away or make bad decisions are lost and hurt, even if they don’t realize it, and if that’s the situation that you find yourself in as you read this my friends, don’t look around you for comfort, look up. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, he still loves you. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, you can still come home. He loves you more than anyone will ever love you, so don’t worry about how much making up you Gotta do. You’ll never have to be alone, just hurry home.
This song means so much to me my dad called me on my phone singing this to me when No one know Where I was I had lost my phone but I could still call to hear all my messages That's when I heard my dad. So went back home. Love my father so very much Thank you dad I love you
i cry every time i hear this song. i left home when i was 15 because me n my dad use to always fight. for 3 and a half years he was beggin me to come home. sayin he still loved me n he was sorry. im about to turn 19 and i just moved back into the house because of my job about a week ago. we haven't fought bout anything.... yet.
I met a man 2 years ago and fell in love with him at first sight. We never even had a chance because I was to easy and he wasn’t looking for more than just what I was giving out.. He walked out of my life and turned his back on me 3 weeks ago and does this every month. He blocks me from everything and we don’t even argue he is a very sweet amazing loving caring understanding man he is just very unemotional on the outside and he doesn’t seem to care about anyone’s feelings of his own. He is very difficult to get close to.. I love him dearly and I pray for him. 🙏🏼
It doesnt matter about the past or whos wrong or right it matters that love is there and always has been i love you my daughter Erica!Mama's here, i have so much to share with you, you find your self going threw things ive already went threw... i could help you so much... hugss im here!
it never fails when i think about running away from home and life i find a song that reminds me how bad i'd hurt my parents and sister if i left...so i stay and wen i see them i hug them and tell them i love them...
This reminds me of when I ran away from every placement of foster care, and even before I entered foster care, and when I told my dad EVERYTHING I have ever done, and he told me I will always be his little girl, and my brother still accepted me for me, and I was so happy, because I was so scared I disappointed them, and I have been sober for almost 8 months, and I don't go near pot anymore, and I have learned to cope with my depression, and my bi-polar disorder, and I am for once in my life, happy. & For anyone who asks I am 17, turning 18 in less than a year.
Coping with depressive and mental illnesses are often a lifelong struggle and, too often, the cause (directly or indirectly) of the end of that life and struggle. I am 51 and have been battling suicidal ideation and the occasional attempt for 47 years now ... I wish you the very best. Bless your family who accept you (out of my parents and 3 siblings, only one sister is even tangently involved in my life -- I am in Ohio, she in Oregon and we only "talk" through Facebook, but it is more than I get from the rest of them ...) ... that is invaluable in staying sober and in keeping on top of depressive illness and bipolar disorder. Love and light to you ! Namaste
This song is really beautiful, as it reminds me of the situation in my family that involves my older brother. However, unlike the girl in the song, he didn’t run away from home, exactly; instead, he was incarcerated (but I will keep the reason why private among those I can trust). Here is how I would see it with the situation with my brother: _She walked in just in time to hear him say ‘Sis, I’m on my way’_ *(The sister - played by me in my version of the video - looks up and smiles as the camera shows the cross around her neck)*
+Abigail Watson I've dealt with my brother and my father being incarcerated many many times, I grew up knowing them through glass. Praying for you and your family!!
It doesn't matter what you've done I still love you It doesn't matter were you've been you can still come home And honey if it's you we got alot of making up to-do I can't hug you on the phone so Hurry home
Kidd Kaoss he sang it that way because this song was a call out to his sister that ran away that's just what I heard it's so amazing it gives me chills
This song means so much to me and I sit here drinking it reminds me of all I've done wrong in my youth. Family always says I can come home but I still refuse to go home I can't bring myself to forgive myself. I know they miss the old me but he died a really long time ago. Drinking helps but I wake up forgetting the thoughts I had the nights before.
This song kills me. My dad and I would fight a lot and borderline hate each other but i always knew i could always come home. Now hes gone and I'm gonna be leaving his house for the last time
He's been sittin' by the phone since she left But it's time for work and he just can't be late So he grabs his old guitar and he plays a couple bars On the machine Then he softly sings [Chorus:] It doesn't matter what you've done I still love you It doesn't matter where you've been You can still come home And honey if it's you We've got a lot of makin' up to do And I can't hug you on the phone So hurry home [Verse 2:] Well the message light was blinking when he got back It was an old friend callin' cuz he just heard the news He said man I hope you find her if I see her I'll remind her That her daddy's worried and wantin her to know [Chorus:] [Verse 3:] Well the days dragged by without a word from her And it looked like she might not be coming back People said man don't you think it's time to take that old message off He said no you never know when she might call She was just outside a bar in New York City Her so-called friends had left her all alone She was scared he wouldn't want her But she dialed up that old number and let it ring And then she heard him say [Chorus:] It doesn't matter what you've done I still love you It doesn't matter where you've been You can still come home And honey if it's you we got a lot of making up to do And I can't hug you on the phone So hurry home He walked in just in time to hear her say "Dad I'm on my way"
for those of you who still have your Dads...cherish every moment...make the absolute best of your time together...i would give up everything to be able to spend one day with my Dad ....RIP Poppo...you are SO missed!
If you're callin' 'bout the car I sold it If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling If you've got somethin' to sell, you're wastin' your time, I'm not buyin' If it's anybody else, wait for the tone, You know what to do And P.S. if this is Austin, I still love you
There are good women and there are good men in this world. Whether they find each other or give one another a chance when they do is purely up to them to re-open their hearts. Remember that everyone has been hurt, each person just shows it in different manners. Therefore, do not allow one bad man or bad woman to close your heart forever. It is not worth it because it will not hurt them, it will hurt you.
