Kenny Chesney - There Goes My Life | Reaction 

"He was raised properly". "He took care of his responsibilities as a man". You said a mouthful LFR.

One of the first things that I noticed about this song is in the first verse he says "So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast...." and in the last verse is says "She hugged them both and headed off to the west coast". She's picking up where he left off.

I was 19 and pregnant when this song came out… now our daughter is 17 and we celebrate 19 years together this Saturday ♥️

In liking this song I know you will love another of his. “Don’t blink” is a song about how quickly life goes by

I've heard this song so many times it just grabs you. Now that my son is grown now and just graduated basic training for the Army. He will be training to be an Army Ranger and has started his own journey in life. I've had custody of my son since he was 4. It's hard on old dad to to let go but he's focused on the next chapter in his life. This dad couldn't be more proud

My "mistake" is a wonderful man with two wonderful daughters. 39 years later and we are still going strong.

“The Good Stuff” is another good one by him !

Looks like you found the perfect song for the father daughter dance at her wedding 😭😭

The MORE you listen to Country Music, the More you will like it. I love it after decades of hearing and listening to it. My car radio stays on my favorite COUNTRY Music station when my Daughter is not riding with me. When she is with me I will SUFFER listening to that Rap and Hip Hop stuff!

Man country music has the best damn stories!!!! Great song!!!! U should definitely check out “The good stuff” by Kenny, u will really enjoy that one as well

I forgot all about this song, I heard it before like once. It makes me a little teary eyed. beautiful. and congratulations to your daughter, and her lucky gentleman. You seem to be handling it well. My father and my stepfather both cried the entire day of my wedding. lol

Give a listen to "That's My Job" by Conway Twitty. You'll love the message.

I was 16 when we found out I was pregnant and this song was out around that time. Just like the video he stayed with me and we we have two children both girls. Now one is 20 and one is 17 about to graduate. Now our hearts are breaking that they’ll be gone. This song makes me cry like a baby!!!

I'm not crying...you're crying Good luck to your beautiful baby girl in her new life 💖 💕

Heartland has a song called I loved her 1st that you should listen to with the video.Since your branching out how about starting a country and comedy section in your playlist?

Van! My man, what a powerful song but even more powerful testament. I’m a long time “stalker” but the humanity you showed by relating this song to your own life convinced me to sub finally. Keep doing it man, you’re amazing my brother.

It surely is a beautiful song but that’s how most country music works it tells a story in one way or another. I loved hearing your story at the end. I’m a father of six and our youngest moved out on his 18 birthday to start his life and it was also bittersweet he’s now 22 and he’s doing well but I sure do miss the old times but always wish the best and help where I can for every single one of them little shitheads lol that song put me in my feelings this morning

“ You Had Me From Hello” “Better As a Memory” “Boys of Fall” “She’s Got It All” “For The First Time” “Somewhere With You” “Anything But Mine” those are all really good Kenny Chesney songs to listen to

Awwww Congratulations Daddy!!! I hope all is well and wish them and you the best!!!!

I tell my mistakes I thought I made than they weren’t mistakes. I tell them they are blessed accidents.

I'm a reactor myself. Big fan of yours, bro. Not afraid to show emotion and very knowledgeable about the music. Keep doing what you're doing. Love it.

LOVE! XOXO More KC to check out - Don't Blink & The Good Stuff.

Had my son ad a teen. We danced to this song at My wedding!!! Now he is getting married and dancing to it at his wedding!!!

YOUR REACTION IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! HUGZZZ MAN!!!

My daughters are my heart, and I wouldn't trade them for any dream I gave up. Now, I have three grandchildren and they are my heart too. Family is everything to me and I have a beautiful one. My youngest lives in Dublin Ireland so saying goodbye to her each time she goes home is heart wrenching but, she is happy and that gives me such joy. Thank you for this video reaction, it made me cry but tears of pride.

You got my allergies acting up too 🥺. Nice reaction. Blessings for your daughters upcoming wedding. I saw a whole different side of my dad the day I got married ❤️ it was bittersweet for both of us. 🙏🏼☮️🌺

Heartland - I loved her first. I think it’ll hit home for you.

Man...you hit my heart strings on this one. Especially your story about your baby girl. My only child...My baby girl just got married last December. Even though she was 24 at that time, had graduated collage and was building her life, i still saw her as MY baby girl. That week leading up to the wedding, OMG i was a complete mess. and also a mess for a couple of weeks after. But walking her down that isle, seeing her smile looking at the young man that was about to be my son in law, and seeing the smile on his face seeing her walking toward him. Thats a memory i will cherish forever. BUT she WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABY GIRL! God Bless you man and thank you for this reaction.

I'm not even gonna speak on this reaction (it speaks for itself... great job Van!!).... as far as more Kenny Chesney songs??? DUDE!! He has a HUGE catalogue of NOTHING but hits..... some are fun, funny, moving, sad but inspiring, thought provoking etc., etc., etc.... continue with him. He's a HUGE fixture in the Country world for GOOD reason!!! Check out some of these..... for serious/inspiring: "DON"T BLINK", "THE GOOD STUFF", "I GO BACK".... for fun: "SHE THINKS MY TRACTOR'S SEXY", "ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS", "AMERICAN KIDS"..... for sexy: "COME OVER" (known as the best/classiest booty call song EVER!! lol!!) "TIP OF MY TONGUE" also "YOU AND TEQILLA" and for the greatest nostalgic-type song and an ode to the American high school football experience..... "THE BOYS OF FALL"..... the video for that is real footage and tugs at the heart (in a GOOD WAY)!!! That's JUST FOR STARTERS (and JUST off the top of my head!!) for Kenny Chesney songs..... the list at this point is damn near endless!!! Great pick and reaction!!!

I wish i could hold my tears back. i have to go blow my freaking nose , between your words and the song i cried that much. BEAUTIFUL

This is a good old country song. Old I mean 90s old. Lol grew up on country....now. I listen to everything. Lately been a lot of Tom MacDonald and Nova Rockafeller and of course Madchild as well as Mesus! Thanks for all you do!!!!!!!!!

Kenny has hit after hit! Can’t remember them all!

Some of my favorite reaction videos are by dads who can relate to songs like this. There is a real vulnerability and love of the men for whom their children (especially daughters) mean the world to them.

The song hasn't even started and I know you re going to like it because you're such a GREAT dad! We can all see how much you love your kids!

Love your content more and more everyday my man. Thanks for doin what you do!

Kenny Chesney is one of my my fav country artist. Just fantastic!

Beautiful song. He couldn’t live or they couldn’t live their dreams, but work hard for their child to live hers!

Loved this reaction! You're a beautiful soul!! We need more people like you!

There is nothing more important to me than the two little boys who changed my life. Never knew I should have dreamt of this life when I was young and dumb. Dad life for life.

My Brother. You get it. Beautiful take on the song.

Kenny has a lot of good songs, That's why I'm here, You had me at Hello, How forever feel, Don't Blink, The good stuff and many more

Just found your channel tonight. I teared up listening to your story about your wife, daughter, and her boyfriend. You and your wife did a wonderful job raising your little girl. I can tell you're so proud of her. You gained another subscriber tonight.

I think this might be my favorite reaction you've ever done. It is a beautiful song thank you for telling your story at the end of it. God bless you and your family

This is 100% one of those songs that really puts life into perspective for us old heads. Beautifully written

His dream was to head to the west coast.... his baby went to the west coast 🙂 great reaction!

Midnight in Montgomery and Summertime blues by Alan Jackson are both amazing

This was unexpectedly my situation too. I don't regret my kiddos but I definitely did it the hard way. So this song has always resonated with me. Congrats to your daughter.

I have much respect for you . You a black man that raised your kids. Damn u a mythical Beast. If u ask me the black community needs more black men to stand up & be Dad's. Yes Mom's do a good job but they can't fill the roll of Dad. The black community that has took on the government to be Daddy, why? Free money is never Free.

Oh this song gets me every time. Reminds me of when I was pregnant (way to young) I love you son. So proud to be your Mom ❤️

Thank you for doing this review, sir. An incredible song, delivered perfectly by Mr. Chesney. Love your videos, comments and wisdom. Hope ur good. 👊🏻🎶👊🏻

First Congratulations to you and your daughter! I wish them so much happiness. Yes as you say, so often what we see as mistakes turn into our most favorite happy accidents!

“Even though I’m leaving” Luke combs!! You’ll love it❤️❤️

This one makes me tear up every time and I have heard it at least 100 times!

You're a beautiful soul Sir. I have just found you for your reactions and I will be with you for many to come. God bless!

So very true, this song puts me in my feels cause I have 2 daughters and they are my everything

You are truly a blessed man to have such love and respect in your life ! 😍😍

One of the best songs ever written. Great reaction

That girl lucky her parents even stayed together long enough to see her off! 7 year itch never happened I guess. Great song and love your reaction. And I was there too but HE did not step to the plate!

Kenny is in my top 5 of country music artists. He's got so many great hits it's hard to choose. Here's a few: "Stand", "You Had Me From Hello", "Me And You", "The Good Stuff", "When I Close My Eyes". Stand would be my favorite.

I'm really glad that you're still on this country journey, waiting for you to very soon drop all of your preconceived notions about country music 😁 Every 'country' reaction you do I see them coming down a bit more so great job! 'When the sun goes down' and 'No shoes, no shirt, no problem' by Kenny Chesney are pretty cool songs as well! 😇💜

Love this song! Kenny is awesome! So many great songs. Great reaction!

This song is very touching. Nice reaction. Great insights. Looking forward to more from CCR and Bob Seger. Still waiting for your first Linda Ronstadt experience. 🌺✌️

Literally becoming one of my favorite channels on here, Love the content man.

One of your best reactions yet Van.. We both have children and can relate 💯 %. You have a blessed day brother 👍respect. Congratulations on the proposal 👏

I had the same thing happen to me going into med school. Only her father didn't stick around. She's graduated recently, & is now living & working on her own. It is bittersweet!

Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials for your daughter. I pray for their happiness. Listen to more Kenny you will like his songs.

Love this Kenny song. Love your family story and hang in there as you get used to your babygirl getting married and starting a wonderful life!

When you gave respect for men raising their kids, you got be brother, I was a very young teen Dad, and I never once thought of leaving because I was raised better than that! Now, I have been married for 25 years, have three girls 27, 20, and 8. I also have an 8 year old grand baby. I would never have this beauty in my life if I ran like a coward! My girls are my heart! I include my beautiful wife when I say my girls! She gets even more beautiful with age! I am a blessed man! Thanks brother for your awesome reaction!

Beautiful reaction, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, funny comments and experiences.

"Some of the best things in our lives are the mistakes we've made" Thats profound. Thank you for saying it.

Thank you for sharing this with me

Ya know that’s what is so good about Country music Sometimes the songs they sing It’s like they write these songs about your life Because really that’s all country music is Just stories about peoples life that you can relate to

My allergies are all kinds of crazy, and I’ve heard this song many times. I could feel your emotion and I’m allergic to emotion!

Van, "Don't Blink" is definitely one you need to check out but so is "Who You'd Be Today". That one really tugs at my heart. Love watching your videos. Have a good one.

I knew you'd be thinking about your girl and the walk down the aisle to come. Such a beautiful story. 😊

I ♥️ your reaction to songs, but, I love 💕 your life stories even more. Thank you for sharing .

Watched your reactions a few times finally subscribed. I loved everything you had to say. You are a sweet man and good papa. 💚

CONGRATULATIONS on your daughter's engagement 💍👏❤ Be strong Sir. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations on your daughter's engagement! That wonderful! 🎈🎉

Try 🎵 Lots of things different 🎵 By Kenny Chesney You will ADORE this one too Keep the good work VAN ✌

Country music at its best! Always a story. As others have said, please listen to "Don't Blink" or "I Go Back". My favorite songs by him and he has many

Saw Kenny back in the early 90's in a mall music store in Chattanooga. Obviously before he was well known, very talented guy. 👏 love what your doing Van! Happy Thanksgiving!

Watching this brought my old soul to tears. Have 3 grown daughters with beautiful young families. Living alone now and it just emphasized how fast life goes and you are right how a mistake can be the most beautiful thing that happens in your life. Really appreciate your good work!

Awsome comments LFR, I ws in the same situation 51 years ago, and as you said I MANNED UP. My son in California (we devorced when he was 6) Given me three ( 3 ) outstanding grand children ( now young adults ) AS you said life deals you different curves !! its how you handle them or not to be your legasy!!! Great comments LFR !!!

When this song came out son 17 yrs old got his girl friend pregnant, I played this song for hom then. My son and his wife now jave ... Drum roll, 6 children! Love them all, of course :)

Precious. My heart.

Love this song! You said everything I was thinking! Thank you!❤

That was my life. Lasted 55 years, after his death, I will continue with his loving memory.

I think your reaction got me more than the song! Congratulations to your daughter how exciting!!

You told a beautiful, personal story. Thank you.

“Don’t Blink” and “The Good Stuff” are a couple of other really sweet Kenny songs!

This is the first time I have ever commented on a video on RU-vid, but I would keep this song in mind for your father daughter dance at her wedding.

Sometimes what we think are mistakes are really gifts!

No shoes, no shirt, no problem and When The Sun Goes Down are great one to check out by Kenny. They kind of have an island vibe, great tunes.

The Good Stuff is one of my favs by him.

One of my childhood favorites

😂🤣Young man! You are YOUNG! I’m almost 72, so I know what I’m saying! But it is certainly true, you find as you look back, you learn the most from your mistakes; they are the most memorable. 👍

The good stuff is a great meaningful song. Kenny is meaningful.

💕 thank you for reacting to this song. Your reaction was so pure. I’m not crying 😢 you’re crying. So sweet. Something you said made me think of you had reacted to “Don’t take the girl” Tim McGraw?

Country bringing the Musical Motif once again. Kenny Chesney has another Musical Motif song called “the good stuff”. Great reaction!
