Doug Stone just hits different. Remember driving to school and this coming on the radio. Coming home from the farm tonight and this song just came on through my UA-cam mix. Brought back memories. I drove quietly thinking about how simple the 90s were. Dammit I miss the 90s country.!!! I can't be the only one
My name is Donnie and 48 years old I have a mind of a 5-year-old and all permanently disabled and no one cared about me😢😢
@@DonnieWhite-vl1qqI pray that you find the love you want and DESERVE one day. 🙏😊
Been there. Done that. Back in 1971 I was in Pasadena, and my girlfriend was in the middle of breaking up with me. She and I and her new boyfriend went to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. New Year's Eve we went our separate ways, I wandered the streets and ended up at a church that was having a New Year's Eve party. And there they were. Lovingly looking at each other. The wedding scene at the end where his love made eye contact and had a sorrowful look on her face was exactly what happened with me. My soon-to-be ex-girlfriend caught my eye and had that exact same look. I lived this entire song. But there is a happy ending. Several months later I met a gorgeous and Godly woman, we married a couple of years later, and have now been married 43 wonderful years. The girlfriend who dumped me married pretty boy, but their marriage only lasted a couple of years. She looked me up and tried to reconnect, but by then I was happily married and had moved on. Here's my lovely bride of 45 years. Sadly she passed away suddenly in January.

Bob Marshall I’m happy for you, been married for 43 years and still happy, good on you😁👍🏻
Wow sounds like me got dumped at prom night by my ex girlfriend only to dance with her friend whohave been been with for 14 years now
@@tracelovessarah2095 You know, Pied Piper, I sorta feel sorry for you. If you think the story in this song is funny, it tells me that you have never experienced a relationship that was deep enough to have led to this kind of heartbreak once the relationship ended. I'm guessing that your relationships have all been very shallow, and when they ended you just shrugged it off and moved on to your next conquest. What a sad existence.
I'm hearing this for the first time at 26 years old. This cuts deep to the heart, which is unlike the modern trash that is somehow popular today. Songs like this make you reflect on your life and how you came to where you are now.
34 years old here and I never knew what it meant till bout 6 years ago! Hope ur doin better partner
@MatthewCastello You’re welcome, Matthew! I actually need to upload more of Whitley’s concert at Gilley’s now that I think about it. Glad you like them.
@@jamesireland4960 Thanks, James! I stumbled across this song in November 2022 when I was getting over a girl who ended it with me. She was polite and let me down easy after only going on a few dates. I connected with her so well and was enthusiastic seeing her that I was crushed when she broke it to me. I found someone else after her and am doing much better!
Doug stone is an awesome artist. It's good to see younger folks find the classics.
By far one of the most underated songs of all time.
Yup, he knocked it out of the park 3 decades ago. I cover this after my initial set of rock n roll, brings the house down, everytime! They never see my redneck roots till the steel guitar comes out, and a few hillbillies always know what is coming. It's either this song or Angel eyes by Jeff Healey.
Blows circles around today's so called country !
Now this is COUNTRY. Soul piercing
Absolutely right! He had a good run,but should have been even bigger.
This is real country music. Not the bullshite they play today. Doug was such a talent. Great to know him!
Just saw him in concert in New Braunfels, TX a couple of weeks ago. He's having a farewell tour. The crowd really appreciated him.
When you actually feel this. Man i cant explain it. Its gut wrenching. Losing the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. Losing the kids. Losing yourself in the process. God help me
You’re not alone brother. I don’t have kids, but I’m going through it. It’s a bad deal. Lord help those in this situation.
I feel you man. She left me for another man. I will never have kids with her.
This is true country where ya can sit down and drink a few dozen beers, cry and then come to terms with how cruel life can be. Thank you Doug Stone
Chris Pia You are right, about the cruel part. Stop and smell, the roses, and look around, and count your blessings.God is here, for all of us...
God I miss the 80s and 90s country. Spectacular heart felt. That's all doug was able to put out.
This is REAL country! Damn i had a giod childhood now 33 years old and im still listening to this! Im glad ive introduced my kids to REAL music as well and now they can pass it down!
Him and Keith Whitley are some of the best country singer besides the Williams and maybe throw Clint black in there
Yessir!!! Keith Whitley Kentucky Bluebird and Doug Stone. Good call
One of the best songs ever recorded. Doug Stone is a national treasure.
Yes and real country singer, This song touches my heart! I do not think real country music exists now, Who's gonna fill thier shoes applies with Doug
This isls real life. And talent.
I'm not a snowflake ... At least I don't think I am , But this song should really come with a trigger warning. It's a work of art with a powerful message that some people may not be able to handle.
country singers put such passion in the songs they sang especially the ones they wrote themselves. today's country is a joke
I don't necessarily agree they go write the song. For instance, this is one of my favorites but it was written by Johnny MacRae and Steve Clark.
@@nickramey7450 agreed and Cody jinks he's good to and whose to forget Jamey Johnson
Glad this is the kind of Country music I grew up with. They definitely don't make it like this anymore. Still listening in 2022
This is one of the best country songs ever written.
One of the greatest love songs ever
Back when country was country
Ok and chris Stapleton might be one of the FEW good artists nowadays. Everything else but a FEW are complete shit, and if you disagree then you need to take it back a few years and learn what REAL country is.
Have a great day🙂
And even chris Stapleton's music doesnt have that old sound to it. I wanna hear the cry of an ole steel guitar and not just a snare beat🤦♀️98% of today's music is shit.
OLD SCHOOL COUNTRY ROCKS!!!!
This is country music. You don't just listen to songs like this you feel them. You can hear the heartbreak in his voice.
AMEN to that Brother,I know where He's coming from.You can feel the pain in His Voice.
Ive been listening to this country since I was 10 years old. Still listening at 45.❤
Doug Stone is one of the nicest performers a fan could ever meet. He performed at my county fair back in 2003. After the show, he had a meet and greet. He even let my sister and her brother in law hang out with him in his tour bus. My dad still has his autographed picture on his dresser. Thank you, Doug for everything you do for your fans, and the impact you had on country music !!!
I agree. Now we have a big guy with tattoos all over his face. Sad what is going on with country these days.
If you've lived long enough, we've all been there. And yes, it's hell. This song captures that feeling perfectly.
Yes it does. Like your heart has been ripped out and your lungs filled with broken glass so every breath just drips you up.
You think so? Well I went to prison. Was 17 when I went behind the wall. I'm 45 now. My wife of 12 yrs, The one that allowed me to raise her children is thinking about divorce. I'd rather face killers and rapists than divorce!!!
I have news for David Allan Coe. This is the perfect country song.
So whose back listening to this BadAss Real Country music in Feb. 2019 ?
Still a classic in 2024. Thank you Doug!
Great song real countrysong hits home
They don't make Country Music like this anymore !!
There's a few out there still carrying the torch but you won't find them in the "top 40" bs they play on the radio
This is a real hurting song . So beautiful . ♥
Yeah, sad song. Some, me, just need to go ahead and blow friggin brains out and be done with never-ending misery. At some point have to accept that it will never end until this life ends. God forgives but He will not stop the suffering caused by the past sins!!!!
I still remember when this came out in 1990....and it hit's just as hard as it did back then. Lost love. The bitterness of unrequited love. The feeling of being alone and tossed aside. Time heals and abates those memories.....but this song lingers and paints a pale picture of what could've been.
I use to listen to this with my uncle when I a young kid and still listen to it and it brings back memories of my child hood love it
My dad's favorite song by him. During my parents divorce he would sing this all the time. May God bless new marriages to last a lifetime. 🤠💙❤️🎧🙏
A real country song!
Doug Stone is s good country singer. Country songs were better in the 60 til the 90 s. Today country isn't nothing like it use to be neither is cars.
I started listening to #BrianFennell #SYML It’s not Country, but he sings about Real things with emotional depth. There’s more to life, than trucks, beer, whiskey 🥃 and hotel keys 🔑 Even tho, yes I do love FGL and Old Dominion💖
Great song. Great voice. Real country.
Painful but beautiful, relatable...
Best country singers front the 80s and 90s in my opinion Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Doug Stone, George Strait, Garth Brooks, joe diffe, Tracy Lawrence etc, I know I missed a lot of them but place some I missed
Garth Brooks? Umm no. The others? Yes and Ledoux, Alabama, Shenadoah, Reba, and I could go on....
His best song, and one for the ages!~
if this song doesnt make your soul melt then you dont have one
Miss country music like this...
What DID you do? Steal Mr. Cock-N-Sail'$ booty? Step away from my Dear's, heart. An NO it wa'Z purple.
I had the pleasure of seeing him in person years ago. One of the most memorable times of my life. I could listen to him sing anything! Country singers today should take note! ❤❤❤
I got a hug from Doug Stone Last week! Was awesome meting him!
Man this song is so amazing.
It took decades, when I would hear this song it would break me. Right to my knees. Now I can sing it in any smokey bar and have a happy evening. I guess I grew up!
Back when country was Amazing.
I can relate to this song when I was hurt so deeply by my ex husband but GOD brought me thru as usual & stronger. God bless
Jake Hanson
I can understand how you feel but not all the old songs were good like not all the new ones aren't good. You just have to be open to roll with the flow I guess. Have a blessed night.
To anyone who’s been in love and lost because of your own mistakes this song really hit’s home.
That it does. You know it’s a good relatable song when a grown man can sit back close his eyes and cry because he feels the same pain the song sings.
Always going to be one of those classics that cuts to the bone . Some real pain in this one.
This song by Doug deserves to be in the George Jones hall of fame lol - a great one cheers 😃🍻
Anyone that has felt heartbreak can feel this Song.Definetely a George Jones Hall of Fame Song.
Felt it then. Feel it now. Great song and artist
I love this song
I had this cassette as a teenager, and I played the hell out if it. Such a beautiful, painful, relatable song. This is real Country music.
@@johnnyhester9106 some times you do soems times you just leanr to think of other things but the pain will always surface from time to time
Definitely a total heart breaking song that so many of us can relate to.....
I still get goose bumps listening to this song! It's one of those songs I think everyone can relate to. I think we've all been in a situation where we got our heart broken and thought for sure we would rather die than be without them.
From Doug's 1990 debute album, they don't make Country music like this anymore, now this is real Country music. Mint, cheers Doug, and thanks for the great memories !!
I used to feel this song as a kid, as a 42 year old divorced man it cuts like a knife.
There's always someone out there for everyone I guess ...GOD BLESS EVERYONE ¡¡¡☆☆☆
Thanks to all you songwriters for these beautiful lyrics that are brought to life
Still is a great song and singer. The 90's were good years for great country music. Not the trash they call country in 2023. I'm still listening Christmas Day, 2023.
If I had a pretty girl by me I'll be happy not even Donnie I'm 48 years old and I have a mind of a 5-year-old I am permanently disabled and blind it's not it's not very good😢
I can't help but think about my first wife when I hear this song. She left me several years ago for someone else. I loved her so much and I guess I still do to a certain extent but I have a wonderful wife now that I love and cherish with all my heart and soul
This is pure country. It takes me back to my first love been 30 years and I still love that blue eyed blonde girl I still see her everywhere I go. I've been all over the world and that little gal still makes my heart ache. But it wasn't meant to be.
True country music 👍🇺🇲👏
This song has been one of my favorites my entire life. Now at 34 its hitting home and lord does it hurt.
37 my wife left me for a friend of mine I was in navy with 7year affair
This song has gotten me through some very difficult times. Doug Stone is the best 👍
Doug stone you ARE THE MAN!! You are “that guy”.
Great song ~ great voice. I wish we had more music by him these days.
PURE REAL COUNTRY MUSIC 🎶🎶🎶 ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG 🎶🎶🎶❤️🤗🙏
Now that's song writing. I've loved this song from back in the day. Nothing holds a candle to it today.
A top 10 all time country song right here. Doug's just that good.
Great song!! Great singer!! Early 90's rule!!
U sure did put a good show on in McMinnville Tennessee last night so glad got a pic with u an your autograph it was best show ever
Still getting radio airtime in 2021! Even with Spotify and UA-cam, it’s special to hear songs like this getting played still.
❤❤❤ Been listening to the music since it came out
He is an awesome singer and I love this song
Love a good country music that tells a story!! 90s country is amazing with amazing artists
So true. The 80s and 90s country music was the greatest of the greatest country ever like Shenandoah, Diamond Rio and many many many more great ones!!! Real country music is gone forever and will never be back PERIOD...............
2019, still listening to country at 75 years old. have many LP albums, tapes and cd's. no 8 tracks left. but I love country music.
I haven't heard in years❤❤❤
I love this song ❤
I remember the first time I heard this song it hit my soul...25 years later it still does...
This song caused me to fall in love with country music. The chorus is pure poetry.
No matter how old or young when this song plays the tears roll this is real country something that's slipping away now fake voice play that's not real country when u gotta use things to change your voice keep the old new
@Marcos Bryant his voice and the songs he sings about is what I admire
Great memories! What a song and what a beautiful voice!
This is real country music. I miss the old days. This is one of my all time favorites. Godbless you Doug Stone
this song is kinda dark yet it says he still loves her and she still loves him.the last scene says it all
90 McDaniel 38 years old I have broken hearts and cuz nobody wants me and I don't care about nobody anym on family
Is that actual emotion I hear in his voice, the instrumentation, the beat, the score itself?
I. Love. This. Song. ❤❤❤❤
Born in 1987 still here 2024!!!!
I strum this song all the time 😂 it’s one of the first songs that got me into country. What a great great song.
I remember hearing this song when I was stocking shelves as a teenager at our local grocery store I was fresh out of high school. I’m 54 year old retire firefighter now and I’m still listening.
Best lyrics ever..solid country gold
Man you’re walking down the road and randomly encounter the wedding of your love the precise moment they walk out. I’ve got bad luck but damn , that takes the cake !
I'd say that hurt. I hope your ok pal. That sounds like my luck. Let her go and let yourself be free. It could be worse you could have had a kid with her and have your little girl telling you how many men her mammy is sleeping with. At least you'd no kids from her. I'd have moved on straight away only for my daughter now I'm watching and hearing about my ex partner from all kinds. The girl is a train wreck but acts like she's not. Keep on moving buddy you haven't met the right person yet that's all even if you think you had the right one you didn't. It is a killer though. Some have a heart some just don't. It's when they get older they'll think damn I should've stayed. This generation is sick.
Doug still has the same clear and beautiful voice to this day. I was privileged to see him in a summer concert here in Warrenton, Oregon. I never wanted it to end, because he was so good. I met a friend and her mom there and we had a blast!! He was AMAZING!!!!
@bob bobber His voice is just as beautiful as it was back when he started. He is absolutely incredible!!
@@dougstone7899 Thank you, for ALL of your beautiful music!! 🎶 Your voice is still absolutely amazing!! 👏
I’m still listening to this song in 2024 reminds me of when I was growing up
Me too, cant beat the talent with this guy
