"There Goes My Life" Kenny Chesney and Wendell Mobley - “CMA Awards show footage courtesy of the Country Music Association” The Royale Boston August 25th, 2011.
I was 17 when I found out I was going to be a father.. She was born 2 months after my 18th birthday... And when she was 9 months old I was a single father but I did it... My daughter is now 35 with a master's in Psychology and just blessed me with a grandson last week...
Yeah well most people that prop up the people everyone idolizes are under appreciated :P For the most part the songwriters are the real superstars. Without them 90% of the “artists” out there would be toast :P
At 56 my life changed when a little girl was born to my son and his girlfriend. Neither of the two parents were responsible then, nor now, and capable of taking care of her. She just turned 7, and this past March the adoption was completed, and she is ours. Yes, my retirement plans have changed, my entire life has changed, and just now my little girl came and asked for help only moments ago - while I was writing this tribute to her. Yes, she changed my life and every day I struggle to do my best to give her the childhood she deserves; my little gift from God.
Your an Angel, God put you here to be HER mother....God Bless You and that little girl, this song gets me every time, and life is so short I know just lost my husband of 43 yrs your giving her a chance at a great life, and your putting ❤ a sense of stability, and a forever momma....like I said Angel ....🎉
I just realized this. His dreams of living on the coast never got fulfilled, but as his daughter moved to the west coast, she fulfilled his dreams for him.
I would also think having a superstar sing your song would be more lucrative for the songwriter. Trying to sing it yourself would be a bit of a gamble and maybe risk the song never seeing the light of day. However, that guy does have a great voice and very nice delivery.
As a woman who's husband left during my high risk pregnancy, I commend all these great fathers who stepped into parenting, scared as hell but did whatever they needed to do. Being a single parent isn't easy but the rewards are endless. My daughter just graduated from medical school, has the best husband & I couldn't be more proud. As parents we all want is the best for our children.
Susan, I concur... and I'm glad you made it through the miracle of growing your baby, through that pain... I KNOW. 💕 On the step up fathers .. I often think of B.Paisley's"He Didn't Have to Be" ... 🥲🙏🏼
At 22 years old I found out I would be a father. Young scared and confused. This song touches my soul. My daughter will be turning 7 this May. And my other daughter will be 2 in May. Yes. They are MY LIFE. God bless.
Best of luck to you my friend. I was 16 and found out my girlfriend was pregnant. By 26 I had 4 children. Three girls and a baby boy. Fast forward.... Have 6 great grand children, 3-Daughters, our son was murdered in 2014, but we still have a relationship with the daughter he never met. My son was 19 when he was killed. Brother, "Don't blink". I'm noy to old, just 50. Son keep your head straight on the path for your family. Family is all you have!!!
i feel this so much i was 19 when i found out and man i was so so scared shes now 3 and doing amazing i was terrified i wouldnt be enough but she shows me every day i am!!!
ditto , I was also a Mom @ 15- now 62 with 7 kids & 7 grandkids & been married 26 yrs since 1993 & as of Easter 1994 that baby boy I had @ 15 calls me MOM & his name is Adam & just as they promised me they would do- His parents told Adam about me. I will never forget that phone call.. ever, so our blended family w/6 kids proudly was always 7 & @ 18 yrs old his 100 % sister finally met the brother she’d known of since she was 5 & who we cried for every March 9th #Blessed❤
@@debbiemulcahy-cugier5839I am about your age and I don't have any family. You are truly blessed!! Seems I just started to figure things out in the last 10 years or so...
Wendell's voice is world class. Gave me the chills, so much emotion. As a father, I'm scared to see the day my children are old enough to live without me.
It’s not fun guys but it gets better I have 3 girls 30,27,12 the older 2 I rarely see they live across country from me, but my 12 yr old helps! It’s nice though when you can sit back and watch them raising their babies and they make you proud! You can sit back and go alright they grew up right and got what I was trying to teach them!
This song often brings tears. Not to sound sappy..lol. me and the old lady were 17 and 16 when we welcomed our first baby boy. Now we got 3! Maybe have lost a college scholarship but it was the best mistake we ever made. Just wish they would stop growing so fast.
Life experience is way more valuable than a piece of paper that end in massive debt. Count your blessings brother, and yes, they grow too fast. Last one just graduated.... Never be afraid to let them know you love them.
This has me balling right now brotha. I remember when this song came out. I was 21 and had just been kicked out of Virginia Military Institute my senior year. I’m from Richmond, VA and some friends of mine had decided we were going to move to Orlando or San Diego. Next thing I know, my daughters mother is pregnant. My life had done a total 180. All my hopes and aspirations for life were gone in a span of 6 months. This song tugged at my heart 18 years ago. Wound up raising my daughter on my own for the most part. Those days of her dragging that teddy bear flew by way too fast. She is now 18 and went to visit Denver two months ago. She’ll be back soon to pack the rest of her stuff to go “Hang out on the west coast. “ This song has come full circle for me and I’ve lived every verse. Thank you Mr. Mobley for writing such a bittersweet heartfelt song. It has meant more than you will ever know to me. God bless! And he cried "There goes my life There goes my future, my everything I love you, Baby, goodbye" I love you Isabella!!
My Mom just passed away last night, she was my rock. She raised 4 kids by herself when my Dad left her for another woman. 4 kids 6yrs old and under. No money, no support. We saw him 2 times after that. She struggled and scraped and raised us right. She was my hero. Good bye Mom I love you.
Thank you for appreciating your single mother and I’m sorry you lost her too soon but I understand. I was adopted and all my adopted family died very young and it’s just me and my son and I appreciate him every single day.
LOVE this song because no child...is a mistake...sometimes bad timing...saving the parents..that did not know They were lost....hugs to all that have been there...
@@Claymore1977 Maybe your parents show not have produced. As for Hitler, he was not always evil. Every mass murderer, is in someway mentally ill, or they would not have done as they did...God has a purpose for ever child. The reason there are do many children...is because if THEY had to support the ones they have there would not be do many.
@@Claymore1977 yes there are too many people in this world. You must be the one too many. Every child on this earth has a spirit. That spirit belongs to God. You want to bash on children well they weren't asked to be born. All children deserve a chance in life.
I’m not crying! You’re crying! Lol I love this song. Gets me every time. I was a dad by 19 and 4 kids now, my world, my little girl recently turned 2. They’re my blessing
matchbox3eb No some one is cutting onions. I started late did not have my first biological kid till I was 37. Then we had four more. My first two kids are not biologically mine, but they are. Now we have seven beautiful kids. Love the song by Brad Paisley he didn’t have to be. Yes they are a blessing. 4 girls 3 boys.
By the time I was 26 yrs old (1996) I finally got my boy. He was the youngest, with 3 older sisters. My wife and I started young too. My son was murdered in March of 2014. Please always let your youngins know you love them by saying you love them and showing a little compassion. My last words to my son was "I love ya and I'll see ya when I see ya". I could go into the whole thing which wasn't bad. Point being is tell all your loved ones you love them and talk with them. try to gain some wisdom from the older folks.
I had my daughter at a young age and never once did I think “there goes my life” My thoughts were “here comes my life” here comes my future, my everything! ❤️ She is 20 now and a full time college student. She gave my life meaning and more love than I ever could have imagined!
I felt the same way. I knew only sickness anorexia alcoholism and weed abuse. Then my daughter came. She's turning 14 and I won't be there. My mom's had her since she was 2. It hurts so bad. I'm not living and I don't know how I'm still breathing
So nice to hear that. I was about done with it all man til the day my daughter was born in 2018. Now it's all I can do but just laugh and cry when I just think about her. She's the whole world in one little precious life. I've learned more about myself, the world and my place in it in the last 4 and a half years then I would have learned in 1000 lives otherwise. Sometimes now I wonder if the people if always say should not have kids actually should. It just may be the only thing that saves them. God bless
As a Dad to my baby girl who just turned 24 last week, graduated college this year, and bought her first house with her Fiance, I have to say this song has always killed me. This version is phenomenal! Thank you!
My daughter will be 4 next week. I’m a pro mma fighter. Sometimes there’s a stigma on how fighters are so “tough” but... this song breaks me down every time I listen. I love this song.
"Couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later. That mistake he thought he made, covers up the refrigerator" kicks my ass and makes me cry every time.... I love my boys 💙❤️💙❤️
Never had any kids, but every time I hear that line I’m reminded of an old tough biker dude whose wife rode off & left him with a baby boy. Shortly afterwards, he married a woman with a young child, & the artwork overflowed on the refrigerator. He said, “We’re gonna have to get a bigger refrigerator!”. That was so out of character for him, it made me smile. Unfortunately, his son passed away a hero, 13 years later, fighting a fire.
The truth is singers would be nothing without the incredible songs of the great songwriters. I can't tell you how many songs have been sung that are forgetful as soon as the song is over no matter how incredibly well sung as opposed to just an average singer singing an incredible song that sticks with you the rest of the day and you're humming it everywhere you go. Then of course those rare times where incredible singers get paired up with incredible songs....which is what turns singers into superstars.
I was a life-long bachelor up until my girlfriend got pregnant with our daughter. The last thing I thought I wanted was a child, a daughter. I actually thought about bailing on her just when she needed me most but I knew I had to stay; knew I wanted to stay. I had lived a great single life; gone all over the world, spent money like I printed it and never once thought about what my life would be like with children. Now, I cannot imagine my life without our daughters and grandson.
I can relate to this song. My wife and I had my daughter I was 22 when we had her. My wife died of diabetes at age 27. My daughter was 6 years old . Now she’s 16. She’s my link to both the past and future.
I was 22 when my first daughter was born!! I have 5 grown children 3 girls 2 boys and I can honestly say that if Not for my First & oldest daughter I would have ended Up in prison and her baby sisters and brothers would not exist and she knows it and The Love of a father for his baby girl even though she is 33,her sisters are 31, and the baby will be 22+in March but they'll forever be my baby GIRLS
If not for my second born child daughter I would have never made it past the loss of my best friend please understand he was 10 years older than I and I was 14 when we met and truly the best easiest way to describe our relationship is just that snippet from Southeast that is trending where Ben affleck's character says to Jeremy Renner hey I need you to come with me you can't ask me why you can never asked me about it bring it up and we're going to hurt some people and Jeremy renner's character simply says whose car are we going to take because it is very actions speak louder than words and when someone repeatedly has your back physically and when you're told stories by other people how was speaking Bad about you and then the person telling you the story tells you that the Same person who has physically had your back you now find out has your back when you're not even in the room because as the person said when you're real BFF STANDS UP TELLS THE PERSON SPEAKING bad about YOU IF HE HERE'S YOUR NAME COME OUT OF THAT PERSON'S MOUTH (1+MORE TIME YOUR BFF TELLS HIM FACE TO FACE NOT ONLINE WERE EVERYONE IS A TUFF GUY WE THROW AROUND BFF WITHOUT ANY MEANING BEHIND IT LIKE YOUR SHOPPING BUDDY IS NOT YOUR BFF TRUST ME IT'S AN OLD SAYING BUT VERY ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
This song reminds me of both of my oldest sons. They both found out 2 mths before they turned 19 that they were going to be daddy's. They both stepped up and have done a fantastic job so far. My oldest has three girls now at 24 yrs old. My middle son still has just the one daughter qnd he is 21 now. Each of my precious granddaughters have the best daddy's they could have ever asked for!!!
I am 56 years old and my daughter is 34 it wasn’t even a second thought on what song her and I would dance to at her Wedding just a few years ago the Dance was a real Challenge and Special to us as years Earlier I suffered a Major Stroke and lost 90 to 95% of my brains right hemisphere during a emergency heart operation to repair a condition that only 10% of the people Survive ! , Although technically insurance wont pay for Dancing lessons my Physical Therapist and I practiced moving to the song when doing Strenghth and Balance Exercises before the Wedding and i got to share the dance with one of the prettiest Btides Ever ! After i walked her down the Aisle earlier this that day in Key West Florida fast foward a few years and now I am a Grandfather to a 15 month old Granddaughter who is almost a exact copy of her Mother at that age and is Wonderful to watch growing up
Brings me to tears every time I hear this. I remember 9 years ago listening to this wondering how was I going to raise a little girl. Ended up not only doing a good job but also she ended up being my entire world. Two years ago ended up becoming addicted to opiates, my dad took her from me right from under my feet. Been sober for a year and two months, however he has yet to give her back or even give me the time of the day. Breaks my heart beyond words
Love hearing this song. When I was 14 just going into high school, I found out I was going to be a father in the 8th grade, very scary time, but I stuck with it, my daughter is now 11 and she is my entire world.
Saw your post and was filled with admiration. Most people when life throws them adversity they say why me, if I understand your post correctly you became a father at 15 and it worked out to be something good. Most people would have considered this to be a life altering mistake and you made it it out to be a good thin. I admire your actions and the way you made lemonade out of sour lemons. I truly admire you and wish I as well as most people had the follow through to make something fod out of something that most people would consider terrible. I truly admire you and don’t even know who you are.
While Wendell is an AMAZING artist and songwriter. I think the reason Kenny is the man for the song is that he can deliver songs like this to the world. Kenny has the ability and the platform to sing/play just about any country/rock song. They are both such talented musicians.
What a masterpiece of a song 🎵 I had my son very young and I can relate to 🎶 to this song totally 👍 but I wouldn’t change a thing 😊the decision I made I would never change 😊 and I am happy 😊 I did 😊 this song is very special to me 💙💙💕💕🤗🤗
All he could think about was I'm to young for this Got my whole life ahead Hell I'm just a kid myself How'm I gonna raise one All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast Oh well, those plans are long gone And he said There goes my life There goes my future, my everything Might as well kiss it all good-bye There goes my life A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator Oh yeah...he loves that little girl. Momma's waiting to tuck her in As she stumbles up those stairs She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls He smiles There goes my life There goes my future my everything I love you, daddy goodnight There goes my life She had that Honda loaded down With Abercrombie clothes and fifteen pairs of shoes and his American express He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said you're good to go She hugged them both and headed off to the west coast He cried There goes my life There goes my future, my everything I love you Baby good-bye There goes my life There goes my life Writer/s: NEIL THRASHER, WENDELL MOBLEY
The energy on that stage is amazing. They’re not playing like the powerhouses they are, they’re just having a good time like a bunch of normal guys. I wish I could’ve been that audience
I remember dropping off my daughter at college. Her & I had been through a lot since her Mom/my wife had passed away midway through her senior year in high school. Yes, my daughter’s Honda was loaded down with tons of clothes, shoes & my American Express. After she was completely settled in, I gave her a big hug, told her how much her mother & I loved her & I walked down to my truck where I cried. This song always hits home with me.
For first time in my life, I've found song,shook me from head ,toe, such beautiful words, There goes my life I'll give all,have you ,from my dieing last breath air, take me away,from all hurting pain, never leaves never left,still in my y daydream,of life begins n life ends, couldn't make it thru sorrows of tomorrow's
I’m an Iraq and Afghan vet. My heart was broken after my tours of duty. I carried that around with me for so long and then my son was born. He put my heart back together and gave me a second chance to be happy. This song is hard to listen to without getting emotional because I know I’ll be heartbroken when he grows up and leaves to start his life. Beautiful song
I ask God and my child that was never born that they forgive me for choosing the easy way out, because I was only 17 at the time . I’m now 60 and the pain I live with is haunting at times.
You were forgiven long ago by God and her. She is waiting in Heaven for you. We tend to hold on to our mistakes and pain. Be loving and compassionate to yourself. You are loved. Be blessed and happy.
24 and expecting my own little one with my sweet love at the beginning of 2022. I see all the amazing comments about living through every verse of this song and one day I want to come back to this comment to also say that I’ve lived through every verse also. I’m going to take every day in and cherish every moment cause I know after I blink, they will be hanging out on the west coast. 🖤
So sorry about your loss. I lost my wife when she was 42 and left me with twins boy and girl. One day you will see him again he will sing the song again
Killer video Wendell! I agree with Mitch Malloy, best singer songwriter in the world. I played drums with your brother Mike in 5th gear and he's great, but you are incredible...great vocal!!!
I remember when this came out, great song. Back then CMT played videos along with the song. I remember this vividly, it was really good & heartbreaking!!! I can close my eyes & see the whole song. It is Oct 2023 but it is still a great classic🥰👋🤠♥️♥️
If you’re a parent, this hits hard. I have two boys but the story is the same. I cried like a baby when they were born and get teared up thinking how lucky I am to be their daddy.
This reminds me of that day my only son told me his girlfriend was pregnant I remember coming home from work and was getting things from the passenger seat and my son said he had something to tell me but my gut told me and the look in his eyes told me I seen the quiver in his lips I said it will all be alright. .. and it has been. .. I now have that beatiful 6 year old grand daughter I love so much !
Fucking beautiful tears Everytime when u got them babies very heart felt song for alot of us out there thank u guys so much for a perfect master piece of heart ❤️💗💓
Beautiful Performance Wendell you have such an amazing voice ""I Love this Song "" alot Kenny voice singing this Song is always Beautiful "" this Song is Heartfelt & Emotional 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Most songwriters don't want the fame and stardom. They just want to write what their heart is telling them and give that amazing piece of poetry to someone who understands and respects it. Kenney, clearly a perfect candidate. I can name dozens of amazing writers who never wanted that fame. Those are the real music heroes. The writers.
I’m a HUGE Kenny Chesney fan but this other man (the song writer) outsings Kenny in a heartbeat. How did he not record it himself?!!! Awesome vocals and a beautiful song.
Who thinks Wendell should be more recognised

That voice. Wow.
Wendell does this song so so well
Unique voice, he's awesome.
Wendell is waaaaay better than Kenny on this song. Not even close.
I was 17 when I found out I was going to be a father.. She was born 2 months after my 18th birthday... And when she was 9 months old I was a single father but I did it... My daughter is now 35 with a master's in Psychology and just blessed me with a grandson last week...
@Bob Sculky Congrats sir!
You Da Man!
Bob Sculky congratulations!
You did it man. Proud of you!
I was 19 maybe 20 was scared to death, and I have officially screwed it up
As a father. I cannot listen to this song without crying.
Man Wendell sounds incredible and I’ve never even heard him before.
Same.
Songwriter Baby that’s where It comes from
He and Neil been doing it a long time! ua-cam.com/video/NsSx2H_7d9M/v-deo.html
If you don't get the chills / goosebumps, or start crying when Wendell sings that first verse / chorus - check your dang pulse and your soul.
Yeah…Dang it
😢😢😢😢
2023
Songwriters are the most underrated artist in the industry.
:laughs in barcode designer:
Underrated, never. Unappreciated, maybe.
You are 100 percent correct!!😮
Yeah well most people that prop up the people everyone idolizes are under appreciated :P
For the most part the songwriters are the real superstars. Without them 90% of the “artists” out there would be toast :P

Wendell you should be singing your own songs. Your voice is awesome brother.
He and Neil have been doing this for a while.....Her is one with Edwin..
ua-cam.com/video/NsSx2H_7d9M/v-deo.html
The composers voice was out of this world than the singer who record it! produce you own album sir, inspire the world..
Agreed!!
Yes!!
This is his song lol
I just realized this. His dreams of living on the coast never got fulfilled, but as his daughter moved to the west coast, she fulfilled his dreams for him.
Random but I always find it amazing how so many of the songwriters are amazing singers but never get popular.
Colton Blumhagen very true! He is a fantastic singer.. maybe they don't want the fame
Because in today's world, it's who you look like not who you are!
I would also think having a superstar sing your song would be more lucrative for the songwriter. Trying to sing it yourself would be a bit of a gamble and maybe risk the song never seeing the light of day. However, that guy does have a great voice and very nice delivery.
Colton Blumhagen lol
Chris Stapleton!
As a woman who's husband left during my high risk pregnancy, I commend all these great fathers who stepped into parenting, scared as hell but did whatever they needed to do. Being a single parent isn't easy but the rewards are endless.
My daughter just graduated from medical school, has the best husband & I couldn't be more proud. As parents we all want is the best for our children.
You know you'll be loved and appreciated baby
Yeah well don't give up honey they are honest men out there

On the step up fathers .. I often think of B.Paisley's"He Didn't Have to Be" ... 🥲🙏🏼

the amount of respect Kenny had for Wendell during this was one of the coolest things I've seen
if kenny was a respectful musician he would let the man sing his own song without interrupting. Wendell is so much better.
Wendell has a great voice. Kenny is way more powerful vocal.
@@justinkidd4425 you don't realize how good Kenneth Arnold chesney is do you bro .... go see him live he will blow you off your chair
Wendall literally asks for Kenny’s help and nods for him to sing the verse when it’s Kenny’s time. Maybe pay attention to the details next time idiot
@justin kidd
At 22 years old I found out I would be a father. Young scared and confused. This song touches my soul. My daughter will be turning 7 this May. And my other daughter will be 2 in May. Yes. They are MY LIFE. God bless.

This post touched my heart!!
My daughter turned 2 in April other turns 7 in June. I feel ya...they truly are blessings! Hug the heck out of them! Goes by way to fast!
Best of luck to you my friend. I was 16 and found out my girlfriend was pregnant. By 26 I had 4 children. Three girls and a baby boy. Fast forward....

i feel this so much i was 19 when i found out and man i was so so scared shes now 3 and doing amazing i was terrified i wouldnt be enough but she shows me every day i am!!!
As a 15 year old dad. I’m 40 now and my daughter is my first love and the best thing to happen to me.
ditto , I was also a Mom @ 15- now 62 with 7 kids & 7 grandkids & been married 26 yrs since 1993 &
as of Easter 1994 that baby boy I had @ 15 calls me MOM & his name is Adam & just as they promised me they would do- His parents told Adam about me.

@@debbiemulcahy-cugier5839I am about your age and I don't have any family. You are truly blessed!! Seems I just started to figure things out in the last 10 years or so...
Wendell's voice is world class. Gave me the chills, so much emotion. As a father, I'm scared to see the day my children are old enough to live without me.
I agree Matthew Sturgeon....as a dad....with a 15 year old daughter, Im scared to death
I can relate, my daughters are 15 and 17.
It’s not fun guys but it gets better I have 3 girls 30,27,12 the older 2 I rarely see they live across country from me, but my 12 yr old helps! It’s nice though when you can sit back and watch them raising their babies and they make you proud! You can sit back and go alright they grew up right and got what I was trying to teach them!
No need to be afraid, you will find pleasure in being a Grandfather. Embrace the moment.
You don’t have to worry about that. My dad died this year, I’m 31, my sisters are 47,49. We were never old enough to live without him, but we are.
As a Daddy this is hard to listen too without tears. Incredible version!
Say that again!!
So true
yup
Especially when you have a little girl who is everything to us.
I can't listen past the 2nd chorus
This song often brings tears. Not to sound sappy..lol. me and the old lady were 17 and 16 when we welcomed our first baby boy. Now we got 3! Maybe have lost a college scholarship but it was the best mistake we ever made. Just wish they would stop growing so fast.
Wow same age as my mom and dad I'm now 15 and my dad had a few college scholarship for football but it all went after he had me
Life experience is way more valuable than a piece of paper that end in massive debt. Count your blessings brother, and yes, they grow too fast. Last one just graduated.... Never be afraid to let them know you love them.
Love this.
Wendell should get MAJOR PROPS for this version! I love that voice, kinda raspy but perfect for these heartfelt words
I like Kenny Chesney, but I'm just going to say it: I'd rather listen to Wendell.
No me KC is the best
Same
I would say I’m an unbiased fan of both but I personally enjoy Chesneys version
@@all-timealien4483 Chesney's sounds too country and less heartfelt. You can tell it is not his song.
I’ll take kenny on this one
This has me balling right now brotha. I remember when this song came out. I was 21 and had just been kicked out of Virginia Military Institute my senior year. I’m from Richmond, VA and some friends of mine had decided we were going to move to Orlando or San Diego. Next thing I know, my daughters mother is pregnant. My life had done a total 180. All my hopes and aspirations for life were gone in a span of 6 months. This song tugged at my heart 18 years ago.
Wound up raising my daughter on my own for the most part. Those days of her dragging that teddy bear flew by way too fast. She is now 18 and went to visit Denver two months ago. She’ll be back soon to pack the rest of her stuff to go “Hang out on the west coast. “
This song has come full circle for me and I’ve lived every verse. Thank you Mr. Mobley for writing such a bittersweet heartfelt song. It has meant more than you will ever know to me. God bless!
And he cried
"There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you, Baby, goodbye"
I love you Isabella!!
My Mom just passed away last night, she was my rock. She raised 4 kids by herself when my Dad left her for another woman. 4 kids 6yrs old and under. No money, no support. We saw him 2 times after that. She struggled and scraped and raised us right. She was my hero. Good bye Mom I love you.
Thank you for appreciating your single mother and I’m sorry you lost her too soon but I understand. I was adopted and all my adopted family died very young and it’s just me and my son and I appreciate him every single day.
Had the same situation. Best women in the world. Miss my mom.
❤
So sorry for your loss I will keep you in my prayers
Prayers for you 🙏
LOVE this song because no child...is a mistake...sometimes bad timing...saving the parents..that did not know They were lost....hugs to all that have been there...
Well spoken friend, well spoken !!! I personally have one who, without knowing saved my life !!
Just found out im having a baby girl
Your life will never be the same Congrats...enjoy the ride...don't blink...
@@Claymore1977 Maybe your parents show not have produced. As for Hitler, he was not always evil. Every mass murderer, is in someway mentally ill, or they would not have done as they did...God has a purpose for ever child. The reason there are do many children...is because if THEY had to support the ones they have there would not be do many.
@@Claymore1977 yes there are too many people in this world. You must be the one too many. Every child on this earth has a spirit. That spirit belongs to God. You want to bash on children well they weren't asked to be born. All children deserve a chance in life.
I’m not crying! You’re crying! Lol I love this song. Gets me every time. I was a dad by 19 and 4 kids now, my world, my little girl recently turned 2. They’re my blessing
matchbox3eb No some one is cutting onions. I started late did not have my first biological kid till I was 37. Then we had four more. My first two kids are not biologically mine, but they are. Now we have seven beautiful kids. Love the song by Brad Paisley he didn’t have to be. Yes they are a blessing. 4 girls 3 boys.
Woo girls…please stop screaming when it’s a song like this being played.
2:35-3:00 is absolutely amazing. Wendell’s performance is magical. Every time he sings the chorus I get goose bumps.
Exactly, just enough rasp in his voice to convey the emotion but not too much 👌
And thanks for putting this video back on you tube. I have watched it a 100 times, and about died when i couldn't find it a few months ago.
Bartholomew Smithington Me too, I was devestated
You're welcome
then download it now guys via the download link or the site that can doit
At 38, I was ten feet tall and bulletproof.. now I'm 40 with a 2 year old girl and I sob at every waking moment... i feel this so hard.
Nothing that can say "I Love You" can be a mistake.
I felt the same way at age 21.......... My daughter turned 21 this year.
This guy deserved a recording contract of his own, especially since he’s obviously a great writer to go with his incredible voice.
I suspect he was wealthy from his royalties and not to keen on being in the spotlight. You are right his voice is great.
My wife just told me she pregnant. I'm in the army
Man, what a song. As a father of two girls this one tears me up EVERY time I hear it.
Me too bro! I have one 16 and 11....My 16 year old has plans to go to college in NYC, we're from GA. Just thinking about her taking off kills me.....
Easy pervert
By the time I was 26 yrs old (1996) I finally got my boy. He was the youngest, with 3 older sisters. My wife and I started young too. My son was murdered in March of 2014. Please always let your youngins know you love them by saying you love them and showing a little compassion. My last words to my son was "I love ya and I'll see ya when I see ya". I could go into the whole thing which wasn't bad. Point being is tell all your loved ones you love them and talk with them. try to gain some wisdom from the older folks.
Got a lump in my throat listening to this song. Great duet between these two. Rare to hear the writer and the singer collaborate on stage.
The songwriter sounds as good as Kenny.
I get teary all the time
@@johnznutas8609 sounds better than kenny! Wendell is an amazing songwriter and singer!
I know you do Travis’s songs, but I sure would like to see you do a tutorial on this one...
I had my daughter at a young age and never once did I think “there goes my life” My thoughts were “here comes my life” here comes my future, my everything! ❤️ She is 20 now and a full time college student. She gave my life meaning and more love than I ever could have imagined!
Congratulations, Mom! Sounds like you did a great job! Xo
Love to you.
Wow good for you
I felt the same way. I knew only sickness anorexia alcoholism and weed abuse. Then my daughter came. She's turning 14 and I won't be there. My mom's had her since she was 2. It hurts so bad. I'm not living and I don't know how I'm still breathing
So nice to hear that. I was about done with it all man til the day my daughter was born in 2018. Now it's all I can do but just laugh and cry when I just think about her. She's the whole world in one little precious life. I've learned more about myself, the world and my place in it in the last 4 and a half years then I would have learned in 1000 lives otherwise. Sometimes now I wonder if the people if always say should not have kids actually should. It just may be the only thing that saves them. God bless
So much more emotion in Wendell’s voice! This song is one of the greats!
I love Kenny...believe me...but Wendell Mobley takes this song to another level...sorry Kenny.

@@jiminy293 Thank you for that. Awesome
As a Dad to my baby girl who just turned 24 last week, graduated college this year, and bought her first house with her Fiance, I have to say this song has always killed me. This version is phenomenal! Thank you!
My daughter will be 4 next week.
I’m a pro mma fighter.
Sometimes there’s a stigma on how fighters are so “tough” but... this song breaks me down every time I listen. I love this song.
Amen brother
"Couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later. That mistake he thought he made, covers up the refrigerator" kicks my ass and makes me cry every time.... I love my boys 💙❤️💙❤️
Yup.... That line never seemed to do anything for me until I had kids of my own. Now it hits me so damn hard.
Never had any kids, but every time I hear that line I’m reminded of an old tough biker dude whose wife rode off & left him with a baby boy. Shortly afterwards, he married a woman with a young child, & the artwork overflowed on the refrigerator. He said, “We’re gonna have to get a bigger refrigerator!”. That was so out of character for him, it made me smile. Unfortunately, his son passed away a hero, 13 years later, fighting a fire.
The truth is singers would be nothing without the incredible songs of the great songwriters. I can't tell you how many songs have been sung that are forgetful as soon as the song is over no matter how incredibly well sung as opposed to just an average singer singing an incredible song that sticks with you the rest of the day and you're humming it everywhere you go. Then of course those rare times where incredible singers get paired up with incredible songs....which is what turns singers into superstars.
I was a life-long bachelor up until my girlfriend got pregnant with our daughter. The last thing I thought I wanted was a child, a daughter. I actually thought about bailing on her just when she needed me most but I knew I had to stay; knew I wanted to stay. I had lived a great single life; gone all over the world, spent money like I printed it and never once thought about what my life would be like with children. Now, I cannot imagine my life without our daughters and grandson.
I give props that he admits he wasn’t the writer of the song
George Jones was a song writer way before he sang his own stuff!
I can relate to this song. My wife and I had my daughter I was 22 when we had her. My wife died of diabetes at age 27. My daughter was 6 years old . Now she’s 16. She’s my link to both the past and future.
My little girl turned 16 years old this week she got a little Honda and all I could think was this song and there goes my life.
This is the song I danced with my mom at her wedding (I was 7)and I just lost her at 22 years old and I listen to relive that dance with her.
I was 22 when my first daughter was born!! I have 5 grown children 3 girls 2 boys and I can honestly say that if Not for my First & oldest daughter I would have ended Up in prison and her baby sisters and brothers would not exist and she knows it and The Love of a father for his baby girl even though she is 33,her sisters are 31, and the baby will be 22+in March but they'll forever be my baby GIRLS
If not for my second born child daughter I would have never made it past the loss of my best friend please understand he was 10 years older than I and I was 14 when we met and truly the best easiest way to describe our relationship is just that snippet from Southeast that is trending where Ben affleck's character says to Jeremy Renner hey I need you to come with me you can't ask me why you can never asked me about it bring it up and we're going to hurt some people and Jeremy renner's character simply says whose car are we going to take because it is very actions speak louder than words and when someone repeatedly has your back physically and when you're told stories by other people how was speaking Bad about you and then the person telling you the story tells you that the Same person who has physically had your back you now find out has your back when you're not even in the room because as the person said when you're real BFF STANDS UP TELLS THE PERSON SPEAKING bad about YOU IF HE HERE'S YOUR NAME COME OUT OF THAT PERSON'S MOUTH (1+MORE TIME YOUR BFF TELLS HIM FACE TO FACE NOT ONLINE WERE EVERYONE IS A TUFF GUY WE THROW AROUND BFF WITHOUT ANY MEANING BEHIND IT LIKE YOUR SHOPPING BUDDY IS NOT YOUR BFF TRUST ME IT'S AN OLD SAYING BUT VERY ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
This song reminds me of both of my oldest sons. They both found out 2 mths before they turned 19 that they were going to be daddy's. They both stepped up and have done a fantastic job so far. My oldest has three girls now at 24 yrs old. My middle son still has just the one daughter qnd he is 21 now. Each of my precious granddaughters have the best daddy's they could have ever asked for!!!
I’m not crying you’re crying
Wendell, you didn't need Kenny for this one.
Exactly, thank you.
Stfu, both are good
Wendell shouldve recorded this
I am 56 years old and my daughter is 34 it wasn’t even a second thought on what song her and I would dance to at her Wedding just a few years ago the Dance was a real Challenge and Special to us as years Earlier I suffered a Major Stroke and lost 90 to 95% of my brains right hemisphere during a emergency heart operation to repair a condition that only 10% of the people Survive ! , Although technically insurance wont pay for Dancing lessons my Physical Therapist and I practiced moving to the song when doing Strenghth and Balance Exercises before the Wedding and i got to share the dance with one of the prettiest Btides Ever ! After i walked her down the Aisle earlier this that day in Key West Florida fast foward a few years and now I am a Grandfather to a 15 month old Granddaughter who is almost a exact copy of her Mother at that age and is Wonderful to watch growing up
Brings me to tears every time I hear this. I remember 9 years ago listening to this wondering how was I going to raise a little girl. Ended up not only doing a good job but also she ended up being my entire world. Two years ago ended up becoming addicted to opiates, my dad took her from me right from under my feet. Been sober for a year and two months, however he has yet to give her back or even give me the time of the day. Breaks my heart beyond words
Same boat here, that we are in Brandon. Got an 11 year old World in my life!
Wendell has an amazing voice...
Love hearing this song. When I was 14 just going into high school, I found out I was going to be a father in the 8th grade, very scary time, but I stuck with it, my daughter is now 11 and she is my entire world.
Saw your post and was filled with admiration. Most people when life throws them adversity they say why me, if I understand your post correctly you became a father at 15 and it worked out to be something good. Most people would have considered this to be a life altering mistake and you made it it out to be a good thin. I admire your actions and the way you made lemonade out of sour lemons. I truly admire you and wish I as well as most people had the follow through to make something fod out of something that most people would consider terrible. I truly admire you and don’t even know who you are.
a REAL MAN...bless you!!!
While Wendell is an AMAZING artist and songwriter. I think the reason Kenny is the man for the song is that he can deliver songs like this to the world. Kenny has the ability and the platform to sing/play just about any country/rock song. They are both such talented musicians.
Bawling! I've heard this song 1000 times and it still hits my heart strings. Great job and thank you!
Means you a real human and trust in God!
What a masterpiece of a song 🎵 I had my son very young and I can relate to 🎶 to this song totally 👍 but I wouldn’t change a thing 😊the decision I made I would never change 😊 and I am happy 😊 I did 😊 this song is very special to me 💙💙💕💕🤗🤗
Love you 🥰 Kenney Chesney and Wendall Mobley ❤for this tune 🎶 that changed my life for the best 💙💙💕💕🤗🤗
It's a wow song! I love this song! There goes country songs.....there goes my life🎸👍
All he could think about was I'm to young for this
Got my whole life ahead
Hell I'm just a kid myself
How'm I gonna raise one
All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke
So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast
Oh well, those plans are long gone
And he said
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
Might as well kiss it all good-bye
There goes my life
A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator
Oh yeah...he loves that little girl.
Momma's waiting to tuck her in
As she stumbles up those stairs
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls
He smiles
There goes my life
There goes my future my everything
I love you, daddy goodnight
There goes my life
She had that Honda loaded down
With Abercrombie clothes and fifteen pairs of shoes and his American express
He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said you're good to go
She hugged them both and headed off to the west coast
He cried
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you
Baby good-bye
There goes my life
There goes my life

@catherine Hey🌹, all love and how are you doing today?
The energy on that stage is amazing. They’re not playing like the powerhouses they are, they’re just having a good time like a bunch of normal guys. I wish I could’ve been that audience
Wendell Mobleys vocals are incredible!
This songs brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it. What a great duet. Thanks for the collaboration.
I love thissonge
My daughter is 3. I cry everytime I sing this to her...
I remember dropping off my daughter at college. Her & I had been through a lot since her Mom/my wife had passed away midway through her senior year in high school. Yes, my daughter’s Honda was loaded down with tons of clothes, shoes & my American Express. After she was completely settled in, I gave her a big hug, told her how much her mother & I loved her & I walked down to my truck where I cried. This song always hits home with me.
For first time in my life, I've found song,shook me from head ,toe, such beautiful words, There goes my life I'll give all,have you ,from my dieing last breath air, take me away,from all hurting pain, never leaves never left,still in my y daydream,of life begins n life ends, couldn't make it thru sorrows of tomorrow's
Our daughter just graduated from college. This song says it all. ❤️
I’m an Iraq and Afghan vet. My heart was broken after my tours of duty. I carried that around with me for so long and then my son was born. He put my heart back together and gave me a second chance to be happy. This song is hard to listen to without getting emotional because I know I’ll be heartbroken when he grows up and leaves to start his life. Beautiful song
Good for you brother, it gets even better, especially if you are ever blessed with a grandchild
Thank you for your service sir 🫡
Could watch this performance endlessly, Love Wendell voice and the intense passion Kenny emits 🦋💞😊beautiful song
Ive watched it 8 or 9 times ... every time I load up UA-cam it comes up as a suggestion.,,. I say "hell yes"
Sir you should release this again with you singing it.....
Outstanding,!! Played over 100x already lol
I'll second that motion, sir.
I ask God and my child that was never born that they forgive me for choosing the easy way out, because I was only 17 at the time . I’m now 60 and the pain I live with is haunting at times.
God forgave you be easy on yourself!
You were forgiven long ago by God and her. She is waiting to meet you in Heaven. Be blessed....be gentler on yourself. 😅
You were forgiven long ago by God and her. She is waiting in Heaven for you. We tend to hold on to our mistakes and pain. Be loving and compassionate to yourself. You are loved. Be blessed and happy.
The blood of Christ was shed once for all for all time. Trust Him for forgiveness and walk in freedom. You are loved.
My baby girl is my world even though shes not a baby anymore. There is no human safer on this world than a daughter of a committed father.
One of the greatest songs ever written!
Two voices and two guitars. Sometimes simple is best!
24 and expecting my own little one with my sweet love at the beginning of 2022. I see all the amazing comments about living through every verse of this song and one day I want to come back to this comment to also say that I’ve lived through every verse also. I’m going to take every day in and cherish every moment cause I know after I blink, they will be hanging out on the west coast. 🖤
Damn Wendell can go....
This song makes me cry ,my late husband sang this to our daughter I miss him
So sorry about your loss. I lost my wife when she was 42 and left me with twins boy and girl. One day you will see him again he will sing the song again
@@foobarmaximus3506 am saddened and the same time hoping you're staying strong
I was 17 and my husband was 22. I got pregnant. I was married at 17. Had my son when I was 18. We wouldn't had I any other way.
Killer video Wendell! I agree with Mitch Malloy, best singer songwriter in the world. I played drums with your brother Mike in 5th gear and he's great, but you are incredible...great vocal!!!
This guy could have sang it himself and it would have topped the charts as well
I remember when this came out, great song. Back then CMT played videos along with the song. I remember this vividly, it was really good & heartbreaking!!! I can close my eyes & see the whole song. It is Oct 2023 but it is still a great classic🥰👋🤠♥️♥️
So sorry for your loss, I lost my son, I don't know anymore. She loved you, remember that ❤️
If you’re a parent, this hits hard. I have two boys but the story is the same. I cried like a baby when they were born and get teared up thinking how lucky I am to be their daddy.
This reminds me of that day my only son told me his girlfriend was pregnant I remember coming home from work and was getting things from the passenger seat and my son said he had something to tell me but my gut told me and the look in his eyes told me I seen the quiver in his lips I said it will all be alright. .. and it has been. .. I now have that beatiful 6 year old grand daughter I love so much !
I can definitely relate to this!
This song is so very beautiful just can't listen to it enough! Good job guys!! Love it❤😂😊
I can only imagine getting to sing this song for the rest of my life! Wow Kenny! Much love always❤❤❤
Found this by chance ,thanks for sharing such a great song.
All four of my sweet little girls grew up and moved away. I still get so see them a lot. I love each one more every minute.
I got 3 girls.. all under age 6.. so just starting on my journey.. any advice Mark?
MrJude1321 don’t blink. Don’t waste a moment. I’ve got a granddaughter now. Hope I get to make a difference for her.
One got married tonight
Fucking beautiful tears Everytime when u got them babies very heart felt song for alot of us out there thank u guys so much for a perfect master piece of heart ❤️💗💓
Beautiful Performance Wendell you have such an amazing voice ""I Love this Song "" alot Kenny voice singing this Song is always Beautiful "" this Song is Heartfelt & Emotional 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Most songwriters don't want the fame and stardom. They just want to write what their heart is telling them and give that amazing piece of poetry to someone who understands and respects it. Kenney, clearly a perfect candidate. I can name dozens of amazing writers who never wanted that fame. Those are the real music heroes. The writers.
Stay cool.
💙💙💕💕🤗🤗
I love that song with Kenny but now hearing it with you Wendell I love it 200% more :)
I just had my first child. She's my world
KevinCummings Fitness besta luck 👶🏻👶🏻
Had mine 1.5 year ago it's amazing brother and just gets better.
Best thing to ever happen to me. Best part of my day is picking up my little boy.
I'm more than a day late and a buck short, but Mister Wendell Mobley is one hell of a singer and songwriter.
Still here March 2019 anyone else ???
May!!
May
July 2019 - with tears!
August 2019
July?
What an incredible performance by both these amazing entertainers ❤💙💙💕💕🤗🤗
Such a powerful song. I never get tired of watching this video. So good.
One of the finest songs ever written....absolutely a wonderful piece of music art...Thank you Wendell and Kenny...
I’m a HUGE Kenny Chesney fan but this other man (the song writer) outsings Kenny in a heartbeat. How did he not record it himself?!!! Awesome vocals and a beautiful song.
Because getting a record deal is like hitting the lottery. There is no rhyme or reason to who the companies decide to back. It makes no sense.
