Jo Dee Messina - Heads Carolina, Tails California (Official Music Video) 

90's baby here. Grew up listening to Jo Dee and listen to Cole swindles version brings back so many memories 🩷 "she's a 90's county fan like I am"

Thank you Cole for bringing new country fans back to the 90’s! We love both versions🖤🙌🏼

Jo Dee was doing a show at Coytes in Louisville Ky and my sister and I had lost our parents in a horrible situation. We went to see her because her music touched us so very much. Our Momma loved it. After the show we actually got to meet Jo Dee and set and talk with her. Absolutely sweetest and very talented lady❤️ I listen to her music ALOT still to this day🎵🎼🎵

I was blessed to work on this video. This beautiful lady was the sweetest and most gracious person to work with. She is absolutely lovely!

Glad to see Cole Swindell bring this song back!! Being born and raised in North Carolina, I choose the Carolinas!!! Thanks Cole! ❤️

Prayers fo Jo Dee as she has disclosed she has cancer and is discontinuing her tour to fight...we are all behind you all the way!!! Fight the fight!!!

I'm not even into Country music, but this song slaps!!!! Jo Dee is a badass! ❤❤🎵🎵🔥🔥

*Heads we play 90's country music - tails 80's country music. A win, win either way.*

I was raised in North Carolina and lived in California for 2 years. Love this song. Both places are so beautiful. 💖

So beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. Any man worth his salt has always wanted a woman to say this to him. And mean it.

Country music was so damn good back then.

Cole brought me here, I must say I am 100% a hip hop and RnB fan but the CMAs have stolen my heart. I came in the house and turned on the TV and am completely mesmerized ❤ beautiful music I am willing to open my heart to!

Great song. Love The 90's country music.

This song epitomizes why 1990s Country Music is the best..... never again will we see music like this

Jo Dee Messina was a true country singer - true talent!

This song was lightning in a bottle.

15 Years ago, I came to visit California on a job interview. After meeting with the new boss, I drove to the beach and sat in my rental car, wondering if I should move out west. Something told me to turn on the radio. When I did the first song that came on was "Heads Carolina, Tails California." I knew at that moment I should move, and I've loved every minute of my life in Los Angeles. Jo Dee sealed the deal for me. :)

This is my childhood right here .. Playing it still in 2022 🙌..this is real country!!!

Thanks Cole Swindell for bringing this awesome 90s classic and Joe Dee Messina back into the country music limelight.

27 years ago in 1995 when this song was a hit, a friend and I were in training in Oklahoma City. At the end of of one day, when we were both tired and discouraged, we found ourselves at an intersection of Interstate 40. Sweet Jo Dee comes on the radio. My buddy kept a large amount of change in his cup holder. He reached down and picked up a quarter and smiled at me. I smiled back and said “flip it!”. He was from South Carolina. I was from California. Life just throws moments at you like that.

Not only an Awesome Talent, but let's be honest.....She is Breathtakingly Beautiful!!!

My wife and I met in Tucson Arizona around the time this song came out. Since then We've lived in Raleigh and Redondo. Can't help but feel a connection to this song. ❤

First heard this song in '94 on CMT tv channel and fell in love with it! Some 20 years on this song still sounds so fresh. It has been on many journeys with me and (without sounding too dramatic) has lifted & carried me through ups and downs and given me the 'kick up the arse' when I've been slacking! Not many songs have this ability. Thank you Jo Dee xx

No one will ever do this song as good as her 😌❤️🌹

2024 anyone?

I still remember being 16 years old. i was at a Tim Mcgraw concert and he was personally introducing Jo Dee Messina when she was just starting out and she played this song. I've loved her since. and I still sing this song loudly.

Amazing performance attended this evenings show in Morgantown West Virginia!! We love you Jo Dee, and continued prayers and blessings

I don't know another music genre that has turned it's back on it's roots more than country...if I hear a country song older than 2 years on the radio, I'm surprised...

This is one of those free-spirited songs basically saying the world is a huge beautiful wonderful place, and if you're unhappy with your current situation in life, and the place were you're at GET UP and get MOVING travel go someplace any place else. And if you don't have any money to get a plane ticket or bus ticket that's fine get a backpack use your feet and just start walking.

Still loving this song after 22 years! (is it really that long??) "Like a modern day Moses" I'm still searching for my "promised land" and I must pull my finger out and get to see Jo Dee performing this before I get too old, incontinent and forgetful. Thank you so much for posting. Love to all from the UK

Aug 25, 1970 - Jo Dee Messina is born in Holliston, Massachusetts. After releasing her first album in 1996, she becomes a significant performer by mining strong, survivor themes, taking the Country Music Association's Horizon Award in 1999! Happy Birthday Jo Dee!!

*90s was the best decade for Country music*

Love her voice! When she sings "I got a quarter!" gives me chills!

Man I really miss 90s country! What a great decade for country! Great memories! I consider it the golden age of country music. Jo Dee Messia was and always be one of my top favorite country music artists with her vocal power, control, and projection as well as energy both in the studio and live.

My British girlfriend played this song for me in my car and suggested we drive somewhere. No map, no plans, no nothing. A weekend we spend somewhere the wind takes us. We drove 600km until we decided to stop and spend the day there. It was probably the best fun I've ever had traveling somewhere. I like a bit of country music, but after this, I looked up a lot of country and loved it. We still do this today, 2 years later... Every weekend we set out somewhere, depending on how much time we got and at the very least, we eat out somewhere we've never been before. As someone who likes to plan things and make sure they go according to plan, doing the exact opposite with my girlfriend has been fantastic. Sure, we've been at sucky restaurants and stuff, but that's life. Ups and downs, you just gotta ride the waves.

She was and still is my fave. Love her spirit & style. Makes me feel like I can kick butt💃💗

I used to watch cmt on the weekends when I was younger....I heard this song and instantly fell in love

Country music at it's finest!

still listening after 20 years when i was a child and grew up on this music. thank you.

I remember living in Arkansas as a kid, driving up a mountain with my family and hearing this song playing. It's so nostalgic for me.

If Cole Swindell brought you here... Welcome to the 90s baby. Loved this song growing up. Glad Cole Swindell put a twist on it.

Grew up listening to miss jo dee , roots are always are foundation for what we stand for and pride is always what need to keep us going, thanks Jo Dee.

I heard this song this morning and I was thinking wow country music is not the way it used to be! I love this song when I was a kid! :-)

Love this song. Brings back a lot of good and special memories. First time I heard this song was 96.

WOW this takes you back !!! Great song Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great song of freedom and love. So simple and yet beautiful. One of my favorites.

I love Cole's rendition of it! Was watching the CMAs and she made an appearance near the end I loved hearing them together! I hear both songs on the radio!😍

I remember the 90s being awesome especially for country music I'm 38 its in my blood just like gas being under a dollar

Beautiful voice, beautiful woman. Country needs to go back to these days.

One of the best country songs in the history of country!

One of the best driving songs ever. Her music and her voice always gives my spirit a lift.

remember listening to this song on my greyhound trip to Corpus Christi, TX. I never looked back. hobo'd around for a while before I found a place North Texas. I miss traveling. its an addiction. Especially running off with a girl you just met. Had some real adventures back in my twenties

This has become my theme song as I apply for jobs in both Carolina and California with the intent of moving wherever I can get a job

I’m a music snob, but I love some good 90s early 2000s country music! It was so fun and uplifting!

This song reflects the heart of the American spirit,I love it

These were the good old days! Brings back childhood memories!

Absolutely love this song

I wish I was having as much fun as they are in these 90's country music videos!

I love all parts of America and 16 years in California with traveling to Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, and South Dakota the past 7 months, I look forward to California again for pit stop and then maybe Georgia again. Our country is great. God (Supreme Intelligence) Bless America.

Still Listening in 2020 Daughter loves this song.. God Bless You All Stay Safe... There's Hope End of The Tunnel..

Yes! There are songs that we hear that rise up from our memory and remind us of those special times. Doesn't matter who you're with or what you're doing. For me anyway.

I fricking love this song...❤ I wish I could just up and do what this song talks about...💯✔ I definitely gives me great inspiration...👌🏼

Im here because of the Cole Swindell version, I cant even lie. 🤦🏽‍♂️ But Im happy to be here. ❤

Still my favorite song of hers.

Jo Dee Messina rocks. Period! I used to listen to this record when it was released in the '90s and I still listen to it now.

Somthing special, this stuff kicks it!

Beautiful song , sang by such a beautiful woman 😻. Love this.

Jo Dee Messina the real deal. So, glad I got to see her many moons ago.

Yes still listening ths song

This song was playing in an ad on TV today...when Jay and I were on one of our "rides" this came on the radio...Jay wasn't a country music fan (Classic rock, thank you very much!) BUT! I asked if I could listen to this, and I cranked it up! I caught him nodding to it...he said he actually liked it...we were in the exact mood of that song that day! We drove for hours... It became an inside joke...when we were going out he would ask where I wanted to go, and I'd tell him to "flip a coin" and he knew exactly what it meant! We were always up for an adventure...together! What I wouldn't do for one more ride with him...

This song IS the epitome of 90s country. Period.

The song that introduced me to country music! Can't wait to see her in concert tonight!!

My childhood was in North Carolina and my adulthood has been in California 😌 highly recommend both

I need a mashup between this classic and the new version they released recently

Grew up listening to this song. Boy country music isnt the same anymore. I'll take my country music from 20 years ago thanks. Love this song

I love her music I got her beanie baby she's my favorite country singer!❤💯🖐💪

Can the next decade be the 90's again please? : )

Fabulous voice and song, love love love it. Thanks for posting

There's not a person alive that hasn't felt this way at one time! One of my favorites.

I absolutely LOVE and ENJOY this song so much! Heard it for the first time at the beginning of the year and it's one of the few songs that really make me happy and dream again if I am down and about. :) #Amazing

I just love her voice.

I loved this song when I was younger and, though I’ve heard Cole Swindel’s version a bunch now, today’s listening of that just made this one live rent free in my brain today! 😁

One of my favorites forever since i was a young boy im.37 now and still loving this song and my 90 s country songs

I cannot believe how few views/comments there are here. This is REAL country music! Much better than the bullshit on the radio nowadays.

I literally did this. We flipped a coin and got on the greyhound to Charleston SC from Stockton Cali. I wouldn't have traded it for the world I learned alot

A great song that would still hit #1 if it came out today.

Nothing better than the original Heads Carolina. Jo Dee is amazing person ( and a heck of a singer too!).

she is the best.a true country artist.her voice is sublimely intoxicating.heads carolina tails california is my all time favorite.the sexiest woman i personally have ever seen!!!!!

This song reminds of my wife and I years ago when after church on Sunday, we would load up our son in the back seat and take off where the road leads us. No GPS, no map, fun times.

Just heard this ,I'm from NC coast ( born and bred Carolina) lived in Maui, Lahaina(mountains and beautiful beaches)Colorado(breckenridge, 3 seasons, lucky experience)and Carolina, wilm. Wrightsvillebeach( always goin to Carolina in my mind)Loved them All!! It's hard when you love them all but my heart's in nc! Love this song! It makes remember to take a chance, go with a few hundred dollars (@mom as co-pilot and dream, it was a while ago when you could actually do this, early 90s) but you can still flip a coin! Good luck!

OMG this song is such a blast from the past and I just found Cole Swindell. Ahhhhh nostalgia... 😍

Love me some Jo Dee Messina! She makes a song her own.

And she beat the cancer and is again touring. God bless you Jo Dee

Jo Dee Messina's heads Carolina, tails California reached at number 2 on the U.S. country charts in 1996 behind my Maria by Brooks & Dunn

Omg!!!! I absolutely love love love this song!!!! ❤️❤️🏆❤️🙌🙌🌟🌟

seen Jo Dee and Josh Turner in concert a few years ago, they both put on a super show. everyone says that was country (and it is super good) if you love that music you gotta support it people, if you buy it and ask for it they will make it.. trouble is people are like sheep they follow the new stuff just the same.

Why does this version sound the best?

Love there, guys. Woke from coma couldn't remember girl? Boy? Potty trained at late 50's. Remembering these guys today dancing to them again. Knew there was a reason to learn how to walk again. Had to Dance God's Blessing follow you always. CONNIE SHERRELL

this was one of the songs i would always sing with my mom when it came on the radio way back when...she loved this song and tim mcgraw's dont take the girl

My life has always been in California but soon it will be South Carolina Its funny how this song popped in my life today. I was meant to end up in Carolina. ♥️♥️
