Travis Tritt - Best of Intentions 

Twenty one years ago Jim and I were on our way from the cancer clinic to the hospital. Best of Intentions came on the radio. He say pull over and listen to the words of this song. This is how I feel about you. I pulled over and listened when the song was over he shut off the radio. He said please always remember this song. That was the last song we ever listened to together, they put him into a medically induced coma to try and cure a fungus that was attacking his lungs. He never made it out of the hospital. I listened to this song tonight to let you know I still love you and miss you. I can't hear this song without thinking about you and crying for all we have missed together. You were only 33. Love you Jim, Rebecca.

In 80s you were one of my fave artist and still at 2023 your still my fave.

Travis tritt making me cry on a Monday 😭

Travis Tritt is not only a great singer, but a damn good actor too!

Travis is one of the most underrated voices of all time. Love his music so much!!

If only country music was still like this!! Strong feeling and emotion with the lyrics and actually told stories!!! Great job Travis

This is what you call good music. They don't make it like this anymore

Still listening to all your songs Travis October 2024!😊

MY husband passed n Juy. This was the last song he played for me. I miss him beyond words but the song brings me closer t him. Thank you Travis Tritt

I remember in highschool, there was a big guy who was mentally special. He sang this song during the school program and many years after, even until now, he is the one I remember when I hear this song. I think everyone who heard him sing remembers him still. That sincere guy used to be misinterpreted due to his different ways. Havent seen him for long but I hope he is doing well. If you read this now, you are a good man and Im glad to have known you and even had the privilege to hear you sing. I see you, I appreciate your intentions. ❤️

Stood up for myself 1 time in my entire life. Fought back. Lost freedom, opportunity for employment. In the end with a lot of pride swallowed and a recreated me. I gained the most amazing woman on earth and the appreciation to know what it takes to hold on to her forever

Even in 2022 my eyes are filled with tears when I watch this very beautiful song. Happy New Year to all who watch this emotional video

"never could build you a castle, even though you're the queen of my heart.." Tritt is one of the great poets of our time. Simply brilliant

“When I was sick and in prison, you came a visited me.” This song reminds me of that powerful scripture and I do not know why.

Travis Tritt has never made a bad song. Beautiful voice, heartfelt lyrics. I love all of his music!

A great song Travis Tritt has a powerful beautiful heart touching voice great song writer great guitar player Travis Tritt is one of the greatest country singer in country music. Country music 80s 90s was sung from the heart better than the crap you hear today. Travis Tritt is still rocking.😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹

"Though you deserve so much better, you won't find devotion more true." I love that line.

Real country music Travis your voice was made for this Your passion for singing and playing will always be amazing and noticed !!!! Thank you for all the great songs through the years man !!!!! God Bless you brother !

My husband has done 8 years, he has 13 left. I will be there to get him when he is released, I love him and he is my world.

This song makes me think of my daddy, even the video. He's been locked up since 96. He always tells me stories about the things he's done and what he wanted to do. I cry every time 🥺💜

I lost my ex girlfriend to cancer two years ago and every time I hear this song I break down in tears. Lidia I know you’re in heaven but I love you so much to this day and until I leave this earth. I’m sorry I hurt your heart I thought I was saving your soul. I miss you so much. 💔

Country music has really fell on its face and i usually listen to rock and metal. Every once and awhile I come back to the old country music I grew up on and the early 2000’s. There’s something about it that just feels right

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

I love this song my dad listened to this as I was growing up and now I know the significance of the song that he just passed away. I feel the meaning of the song and it makes my heart happy to know he is still here with me through music he shared with me as a kid

I lived this video for 3 hard years in many Texas prisons. Got out and changed my ways. Now I’m a successful 48 state truck driver.

This song so touched me it made be bawl my eyes out.. me and my husband are apart right now he is doing treatment right now after a relapse after being clean for almost 8 years. We been married for 5 yrs and together 15 yrs .. my love for him never changed and we are still growing strong together. He will be out in beggining of April. So this song really touched me.

Real country music. Love me some Travis. Country music icon ❤💛

"Best of Intentions" was released on June 26, 2000, as the first single from Travis Tritt's album Down the Road I Go; It was also his first single to be released by Columbia Records after leaving Warner Bros. Records, a label Tritt worked from 1989 to 2000. The music video was directed by Michael Merriman, and was filmed at Tennessee State Penitentiary, where movies such as Marie, Ernest Goes to Jail, Last Dance, and The Green Mile were filmed. It features Tritt as a prison inmate, scenes also feature him singing the song and playing guitar, and sitting on the stool.🙂

2020 and still love this mans tunes

Didn't come to appreciate Travis until later in life. Not sure there is anyone on today's radio who can compare. Thank you for sharing this song.

Anyone can make mistakes. It's not where you start it's where you finish.

Just saw Travis a couple months ago for the first time in my life and cried when he played this gold.

His songs were from the heart. Travis Tritt, one of the greatest. Enjoy!

I went to Jail over fighting for the love of my life and doing all I could to prove to her my love and devotion. This song truly says exactly what I went through. Except my heart’s Queen didn’t come back to me. I pray and keep having faith that some day whenever it may be that she’ll come back to me and forgive me because I truly did have the best of intentions.

Yes I love you with all my heart. I trust you

Now, I lay me. Doown, to sleep. I pray the Lord, My soul, to keep. Guard me Jesus, through the night. But, if I should before I wake I pray the Lord my soul To take. Amen.

No doubt that Travis will go down as 1 of the best country ballad singers ever.

This song got through some hard times when my husband was locked up. 2 days ago I lost him. When he was still locked up in prison 😢😭🥺💔🙃😔💔

Travis Tritt can sing anyth and make it sound good ! Most talented man in my opinion ❤❤❤

I've been to prison twice and I've changed my ways. after I got out I got married and my wife looks through my past. I would do anything for my little family

Oct. 4th I'm hoping my husband comes home. Please keep us in your prayers. I'm pregnant with our 2nd child and I need him here for our children and I. I love him more now than I ever have before. He's truly my soul mate and I hope he's home with us soon. My love will always be unconditional. I love you baby. Forever and always, not a day less. I'll see you soon! I have faith in you and us. Stay strong. Xoxo.

this is one of country music's best songs, in my opinion. country has changed so much😥 miss songs like this.

SDR, I've spent almost 3 years trying to cling on to what we use to have and dream of bigger and better for all of us tried to ignore everything that people kept putting in front of me and just keep hoping that we'd fly back to each other one day and be the team that we use to be just better and now that everything is over I guess I finally truly released you to the universe hopefully now we are both able to rewrite our stars for the better.

Country music never dies. This is such a great song.

Where the 2019 people enjoying this great song at

After 5 long years of addiction together, plus the years I had before we met…I had enough, I was going to leave on may 1st 2021 to California to go to rehab… I didn’t beg or even ask for him to come with me this time. He got himself on the same flight, the same treatment. While there we were doing a music therapy thing and he said the song that means more to him than anything is this song and thanked me for all I’ve been put through loving him. They told us it’s less than a 5% chance or something that a couple gets clean and stays clean together, so we knew the odds were against us but we didn’t care. 3 months later we went to a different state from treatment. We have over one year clean now and are the happiest we have ever been. May sound corny but idc that one act of chasing me and changing his life for me when I never asked him to has meant more to me than anything anybody else has ever done. To me nothing could prove that he did truly love me and want to be with me more than that. This song makes me cry every time now…actions speak louder than words. And I want everyone to know that As addicts we do recover . Thank you Jeremy I love you babe!

He is the first country artist I listen to each morning. It is a great way to start my day. May the good Lord bless him. ❤️✌️😎💕

Travis reminds me of my buddy Blair from bournville ohio when he'd see me his eyes would get big n he'd almost fall over smiling! That's a brother!

Listening in 2019. This is REAL country music 🎶

Another well written and under rated song with great meaning and which speaks to the fallen nature of man.

Dear Mr. Tritt, I don't think you'll ever read this but in truth, that is just fine. You are a busy man. In the musical industry, I can't imagine how hard it is to be yourself and the pressure of having everybody think you are something else. I say this because you can dress one way but sing/ play music in a totally different manor. It is quite a beautiful duality. But may I just say, your gentleness and sweet soul like nature, and sense of humor does show in alot your songs and in your eyes and smile. Don't ever stop. Hope all is well with you and family.

What a voice, personailty. Saw him few years back, been to many concerts, he loves what he does and you feel and hear it. Thanks Travis! Your one of the best!

This song is so meaningful and beautiful. I have never been in prison but this songs meaning is so amazing. Thank you Travis Tritt.

Still one of the best most underrated country singers ever I still love his music and listen to it often

michael your all right in my book. You know i cant believe the quickness of growth. Its better now. They know who we are. They know whats up.

Most underrated voice in country, by far!!

I listen to this song and it makes me want to cry. I was in love with a guy that I gave my heart to for almost two years. He promised me the world then I found out he was fake. Thank you Travis Tritt for a beautiful song.

I spent 10 years of my life in prison and guess what the love of my life road it out with me and now were together and loving and living life to the fullest. This song has been my heart all these years

Hey it's Dana I really do love this song

Such a great song by one of the best country singers.

This songs attached to my Heart strings 💜 God love ya Travis. BEAUTIFUL

I lived this video as well for 26 years and now I got her back in my life and I'm never going to lose her again

Might of been in his top 3, for sure

I sang this to my woman when I had to do 3 years in state 11 years later going strong Travis is the man

Hits home harder when you feel the lyrics in your soul. Oldie but goodie!

I can relate to this as somebody that’s lived in a mental prison within myself and she was the only light I’ve ever had but my bad habits have most definitely pushed her away 😔

I absolutely adore this song. Breaks my heart. One of Travis' best

Just one hell of a song.Sung by one hell of a vocalist.

One of the best singers ever!!! Love this song!!

Travis Tritt is the definition of country music 🎶 ❤ I grew up listening to his music while driving the back roads & now that I'm a quadriplegic from a car accident 7 years ago, I sit in my bedroom listening to him on repeat. He has gotten me through some really dark times. ❤ He's coming to Renfro Valley in February & I am gonna try my best to get tickets! Love me some Travis Tritt 🥰

This made me cry..... I so love country songs. #Deep

I seen him live acoustic, it sounded just like this. In small place, it was the best show. I felt like I was sitting in his living room just listening to him play.

Love the video. My bf and I used to dance to it. Even tho hes passed away it still brings back good memories.

A very good song

The best country voices I have ever heard ❤️

song reminds me of my dad, he had the best of intentions to provide us with a beautiful life, no we was never money rich but when it came to love and happiness we was the richest people in the world. rest in peace daddy, I'm so glad you was my dad no other person could have done better. thank you for the sleepless nights of helping do my school projects, for loving me as a teen I know that was a struggle. thanks for the best of intentions you did more than you had to do

This makes me cry every time and idk why it's just so beautiful!

Undoubtedly one of my all time favorite singers

This song reminds of my kids. I thought I'd be this super mom. Not struggling day to day.. But i feel as tho they know they are loved an we do the best we can.

I live almost directly by him. His land is huge!

Never liked this song when it was new, nor have I ever been much of a TT fan, but the older I get the more I understand this song and now it's one of my favorite jams.

One my favorite song from him

No words more true we all started out with the best in mind and we learn from our mistakes, take life's lumps and come out fighting never give up or settle for second best god bless the brave

Seen him 3 times in concert. 2 times I was like 5 and 7 then just recently I’m 22 now and he still sings better than ever. Thanks for the great memories Travis!

Love Travis...pure country music

Travis Tritt can sing anything he's that damn good love this 😂❤❤❤❤

Listening in 2019 and longing for music like this to come back....

Man this is Country guys. Heartfelt song, awesome video. Tells a story!

Praying all in these comments that need it! I promise Faith is the answer! Keep on doing the right thing and pray each and every day your feet hit the floor and you will start every single day with the best of intentions! God Bless

Ive always loved you! Music just icing on the cake and you're right from the heart never give your gift up love you Pamela

love this song and love Travis's eyes

Damn song made me shed a tear.I love this song and love Travis.

Holding my husband down for 5 years right now 😞😞 i miss you so much baby

I listened to these songs in Afghanistan and Iraq even though they were considered old it’s my country music. Helped bring home a little closer. Thanks Travis

This song.... To have someone send this to you hits hard.... There's was one point in time YOU wanted everything in this world with that person... They saw it touched it and it came to an end bc they couldn't. Heart wrenching song. Still one of my favorites!

My fiance introduced me to this song on one of our first "big" fights - I didn't think too much of it at the time other than it was a good song, well - 12 years after we met I am sitting here writing this to say that 4 years have gone by since he passed away.. I hear this song and it's an instant tear jerker. He always had the best of intentions with me - and I am so glad that he introduced this to me cuz it's as if he's speaking to me through the music. Love & miss you so very much... RIP MAH 5/14/81-10/2/09

THAT WAS A GOOD JAM BACK IN THE DAY..... AND STILL IS MANY GREY HAIRS LATER!😎🇺🇸

Great video! Great singer with a great voice, great song, Travis Tritt is very talented! ♥️

Just one word.....WONDERFUL.

Love this song ,I wish someone would give me my world back .but hey best intentions are a great hit for everyone's that loves with their best
