    My dad was dying of Cancer and talking in his sleep. I could tell he was dreaming a childhood memory. After he woke up, he smiled at me and said this “ they say when you die, your whole life passes before your eyes, and I believe that’s true”. That song got me good.

    Damn, Country Music songwriters and Artists like Craig Morgan are the greatest story tellers.
    On a side note. I was backstage at the Grand Ole Opry with Craig Morgan in July of 2016 and took pictures with him and was going to post them on social media the next day but that was the day his son died. For the record, Craig Morgan is a former US Army Ranger and recently reenlisted in the Army National Guard.
    He is a world class human being with a heart of Gold.

      That's so cool. I was at the Opry last year with my daughter for the first time (Her first time) and we went around all the places in Nashville that I went before she was born. All the places that inspired me to write the songs on my first album. What a thrill for her to see the places in person that were my inspiration. This is a great song!

Of course I thought it was a great song and thought it would be an impossible thing to live through, but I couldn't really relate to that kind of pain.
      Then I came across an acoustical version of it a few months ago ... and now I have a son that's gonna be 1 in June. Talk about not being prepared for that whole bag of emotions to smack me in the face, yeesh. I was not prepared.

      Its easily interpreted both ways. I've always believed it to be a dream because of the second verse. Close enough to see his daddy and smell the cobbler. He just wanted the dream to continue so he could go inside his home and be with his parents again. Besides, you really can't wake someone from dying. But then again that could be heaven to him. Regardless, I still cry everytime because it is so reminiscent of my childhood.

    Well, I’m late to this one, but I just wanted to add my two cents. The old man was not dying or freezing to death. He was in a better place when he was asleep. in his dream he was home again, or almost back to his childhood home but at that moment, when the young man who had good intentions, woke him up. he brought him back to this miserable world. What he is saying here in the song is that his fondest happiest memories are of his childhood. Those were the happiest years of his life.

    You really should react to "The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost". His best in my opinion! Great reaction!

    I think people in the comments just want to argue. It’s obviously a double entendre. It’s meant to be interpreted both ways.

      Yup, I don't mind the discussions but I have had to delete more comments from this video than most because they get personal which we do not allow on the channel.
