This song came on at a BBQ place my late husband and I were eating at. He had just begun dealing with his cancer. Been 10 years since he passed and this song still gets to me.
He wrote it about his father, the Philadelphia Phillies pitcher. They were estranged, and were getting in contact. They patched it up and the result was that he died of a brain tumour.
His father was Tug McGraw Out of Philly where he played Baseball 2004 he passed away Tim McGraw's finally got to meet his father and then things turned differently the song he did not write but the message is very clear Live Like You Were Dying speak softly Love More more messages and that song than you'll ever know God bless peace be with you much love and respect your birthday's coming up
RIP Tugger 🕊 # 45 forever. Living the 1st 30yrs of my life outside Philly, Tug McGraw went from being a Phillies Legend to that cool, fun loving Uncle that also happened to be a baseball legend when he transitioned to broadcast & sports reporting. As a teen, I met Tug at a celebrity pro-am golf tournament a friend's dad was participating. After following Tug from hole to hole unsuccessfully trying to get an autograph, I went over to the tent for lunch. Tug came in a few minutes later for lunch as well & sat at my table. As a teen I was 🤯 WOW! Tug didn't disappoint, he was kind, cheerful, charming, & absolutely hilarious.
I have such a happy memory of this song. When my nephew was ten and loved to sing. He did this for a 5th grade talent show. Wore the black hat and everything. He had a little trouble with the first verse but after he got through the chorus he nailed the rest.
His dad was a Philadelphia Philies baseball pitcher. He didn't know it until later in life . His father was diagnosed with brain cancer and he was able to repair the pain and lost love with his father before he passed ...
This song came out when my father was dying of pancreatic cancer. The beginning, looking at the X-rays!! Can't even imagine what my dad thought at that moment.😭
This song had been out for awhile but came on the day I left the hospital after finding out my dad had cancer and there was nothing they could do. My world just fell apart when I walked in his room at the hospital that day he was sitting there with his hand on his stomach and told us he has cancer. I can’t imagine what he must of thought hearing that news either
Tim did not know his father was baseball legend Tug McGraw until he was 11 years old. Funny thing is, Tug's team and Tug himself were Tim's favorites. Tug denied him at first but they finally built a relationship and then he lost his Dad in 2004.
I love you Jamal, I think you're really a country boy at heart❣️😊 Country music is great, thanks for reminding me of a beautiful song I had forgotten about for so long. Happy Independence Day 🎆 ✝️🌿🐴 ❣️🇺🇸
You should read about his finding out his biological dad became the relief pitcher for the New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies. Sad at first, but rewarding.
Tim Mcgraw brought down the walls I had put up around country music. I didnt WANT to like it but it spoke to me and eventually I couldnt lie to myself any longer.
Tim is the goat of country 🐐🐐 Up there with Johnny,Willie,Garth,Alan,Reba,Faith,and etc lol My mom passed away 1-18-19 I took 6 months off Life. Maybe Dollie or Elvis ..Rock and Roll County
So good to have you doing music again! I like most country music and i've noticed that a lot more people are discovering it and liking it - to their surprise. Thank you for sharing. God bless you
i work retail, o 3:10 ne of my favorite customers is a Vietnam vet, paratrooper. i tell him all the time when thy give me that news, he is going to be my first call to watch me jump out of a perfectly good plane.. his eyes light up and he laughs.,
I don't know if you even know what this song is all about.. Tim's dad was "Tug" McGraw. He died of brain cancer in 2004 after retiring from Major League Baseball. The song is a tribute to his dad and that's what the lyrics are all about.. There's nothing funny about the song or lyrics whatsoever.. Tug grew up and played baseball in my hometown in Cali. He dated my aunt while in High School. I used to see him as a little tike when he would come over to my grandmothers house in the early 1960's, before he was drafted by the NY Mets. Those home video shots that you are watching of him as a young teenager goofing around were taken at his childhood home on Carolina Street in Vallejo, CA... RIP Tugger!

This song is about his father that died several years ago. His father was a pro baseball player and never there for Tim and his mom.😢
Tim forgave his dad before he died. RIP Tuc McGraw😊
This was popular when my husband was dying of pancreatic cancer. Left me in tears every time i heard it. Just found out 18 yrs later it still does.😢

You need to give TOBY KEITH a try

As a European, someone I really like just introduced me to this song the other week, so it has a bit more than another special meaning to me now

Ive never been a huge Country music fan, but this song makes me cry every damn time.
Tim is Tug Mcgraws son. He was a famous major league pitcher who got cancer.
Tim has had staying power by selecting songs that were well written. So much better than most of today's country, IMO. Saw him in concert in the 90s.

Not a huge fan of Country Music but always liked this song 😊
My son was diagnosed with cancer at the end of March 2023 and he turned 42 two days ago July 6 prayers
Love this song. And it's message.
The messages is that no one is going to work tomorrow to serve some self-centered cat their coffee milkshake.
Awesome! Let's all embrace it!
You would really enjoy Tim McGraw with Blanco Brown “Don’t take the girl”. Great song with a sweet story from Blanco.
You should read about his finding out his biological dad became the relief pitcher for the New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies. Sad at first, but rewarding.
My friend you are much safer sky diving, than riding a bull named Fu-Man-shu!
Brings tears every damn time.
This song is so great
His Dad was Tug McGraw. He pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies back in the 80's.
Tim Mcgraw brought down the walls I had put up around country music. I didnt WANT to like it but it spoke to me and eventually I couldnt lie to myself any longer.
Three chords & the truth is exactly what real country music is all about 🤠💕
Excellent! Thank you
I love this one & I also love 'Humble & Kind'. The song & the video are fabulous.
Love your picks today. I love rock and roll but country has some great stories. Keep up the great work.
MUCH LOVE! Your content crosses many lines. Big fan!
This is Tim McGraw's best song!!
Happy 4th and shout out to you fellow good human....love your channel! ❤
Happy July 4th🇺🇸 this is a great song ,I think you’ll enjoy it 😀
This a true song Tim wrote when he lost his dad the great baseball pitcher Tug Mggraw and Tim did not find out that tug was his father until he was 11
Tim did not write this song
Tim is the goat of country 🐐🐐 Up there with Johnny,Willie,Garth,Alan,Reba,Faith,and etc lol

His dad Tug played minor legue baseball from my hometown Jacksonville FL. Sadly he passed in 2004.
Great song!
I'm not crying
Great song and words that ring true! But I'm with you, I'll find something else other than sky diving😂 Happy 4th!🇺🇸
❤❤❤
Happy 4th🇺🇸
Stage 3, lung adenocarcinoma.
I can personally tell you...
They nailed it.
Like you say brother. Be a good human. Now and don't wait until you're dying
When small-town boy Timmy Smith was 12 he found his birth certificate and it said his father was World Series-winning pitcher Tug McGraw
Good to see you back on Country 😊
Shouldn't we all be living like we were dying? I mean, no one gets out of this world alive.
1883 -Tim and his ever-so-beautiful wife Faith Hill
He wrote this about finally finding out his father was ball player Tug McGraw, then the discovered Tug had cancer.
Thomas Sowell, Candace Owens, country music. Anyone seeing a pattern here? “The Keep Right Wingers Subscribed” movement is alive and well
Favorite TM video. Love it
Tim's dad was a relief pitcher for the 69 Mets and 80 Philles. Two rings, 1100 strike outs. Died of brain cancer in 2004
He died in 2004, not long after he and Tim actually met. He's a legend in Philly.
You've got to listen to dont take the girl
❤❤❤🤘🤠🤘
Can’t wait for you to get into some Jason Isbell.

Love your videos. Please find that rap song that is similar...

Hey yo, in case you didn't know, we're all dying.
Yep, there is absolutely no reason, other than being in the military, to jump out of an airplane if the engines are working and it's not on fire...
That would definitely end capitalism.
If capitalism is so bad, why don't all the migrant caravans head to Venezuela instead of the US?
He’s singing about his father who never wanted him. His father was a professional baseball pitcher
And died of cancer
