My man is always saying that he never expected to live past 30 and didn't care if he didn't until we got together. He has a very dangerous job. Tree climber. He says now he makes extra effort to come home safe. I played this for him and he cried. He doesn't do that.. This is our song. Thank you
This song really hits home. I just turned 29 on March 20th, and I thought I would never make it. I've dealt with guilt from my past, and grief from losing my Dad and my Sister. This song brings me peace of mind. Thank you Mr. Church for providing music that leaves an everlasting impact on the world.

As usual.... second to none. Class, lyrics, truth, just does what he does no matter what others think. Not a people pleaser, just a true blue country boy with God given talent!
Amen to that. Hey Scott my man, I'm a new aspiring singer songwriter with a lot of the same values and views as Eric, I don't have the name or the fame so what I do isn't as significant to most but I think if you checked out my channel you might like what you see bro, let me know :)
....Love is a beautiful thing...... Every emotion is running through my body right now. When two worlds colide a great love story is told.... You are my fucking hero! I love you!
Thank you to everyone! I am greatfully humbled . You havev all restored my faith in humanity and shown me that people are still good! There is no greater gift than the gift of TRUTH!
This man doesn't have a genre. He's his own special kind of artist. An artist who's in love with music. If you listen to his new album (Mr. Misunderstood) it's clear to see that he had many influences besides country artist. He loves all music. Every song he sings he has a reason behind it. Not because he's country, not because he drinks, not because he loves women. Most artist these days don't even write there own songs but my man Church here always pitches in. They may not be fully his but he participates. He just doesn't let Nashville push him around. He makes his music and only other people who love music and really get this guy are gonna be his fans. He is truly the best artist in the 21st century and that's my opinion.
Collaboration isn't a bad thing but its not a good thing when the artist just sings someone else's song. Like when an artist let's someone else write the whole song and they sing it like its there's. Church isn't like that. Almost every song he sings he had something to do with it.
A modern day Outlaw with the musical ability to back it up. Every one of his albums are a instant classic. I can't see anything but Mr. Church himself being able to slow him down. A future Hall of famer.
My stepfather listened to country all my life growing up I always liked it but didn't appreciate it till I lost him two years ago All of eric church songs remind me of that man even the ones he never got a chance to hear This is music at its finest
I'm not afraid to admit that this song makes me cry. Especially as someone who has enough health issues that I thought I would be dead already. Sometimes I feel like the only reason I'm alive is because of God and my wife.
hang in there bro. may be that your wife was sent to you. none of us are promised tomorrow so let us live and enjoy today. all my well wishes sent to you and yours. "God bless the brave"
everyone has a purpose. For some people their purpose is to do something great for the world and for some it's just to makes someone's world great. I can relate with medical issues and how thankful I am for my special woman in my life. Take care my friend.
My number was 33. I lived fast and furious and was surprised when I passed it. But fell down when I hit 40 but again GOD told me not yet, now I'm 43 and waiting for my ticket home.🙏
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there?
"The Outsiders" may be one of the best country albums this millenium. Eric Church is so true and genuine in a time where country music is going in a pop direction. Don't get me wrong, I love the likes of Blake Shelton and Keith Urban, but I don't think Waylon done it that way... ;-)
The reason people like EC is because we can relate to his music. Unlike all the other country artists who grab a song off the record label. This guy does what he wants and how he wants. He connects with people. All these other country pop love songs today are trash. It's the meaning of the lyrics, it's about being a true artist. And in this case, Eric. You are the true artist. Thank You!
My whole life I've listened to heavy rock until I heard of you Mr. Eric Church. I told the misses just last night I want to start writing music again. Thank you sir for giving me back my inspiration. You helped me figure it out.
This song has me stunned. I see those two kids as my son and daughter who lost their dad to a motorcycle accident 2 yrs. ago. My son had just turned 3, my daughter was just 8 mo. old. The video shows two adults who's lives were affected by a loss at a young age and each date is another moment in their lives. I thank the Lord that my children have each other to lean on when things get rough because I know this will be a long and difficult journey without their dad. I'll be here as long as I'm allowed, and they will always have me, but to have each other will prove crucial.....this is a POWERFUL song.
Today is my 36th birthday, I also didn't think I'd live past 30. This song resonates with me more as time goes on... as all the best ones do! Thanks for being the voice for all of us Mr. Misunderstoods Eric!
I spent 8 years of my life wishing nothing more than to throw away that gift. This song was written in a different light, but to me, there is no better song to paint the freedom that comes when you get through mental health issues. Nothing like the Chief.
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there?
There's only been a few people on this earth that can do this. Just a guitar, and a man softly singing. The emotional and soul pouring out. Chief is the GOAT.
Tanner Martin Yeah. I finally got clean and was so ready to show her what I'd accomplished .new house paid for .cars paid for no more drugs and I'm a Son of a Bitch if she didn't die 10 years ago while I was doing all this .Go ffigure ..RIP baby I did change only wish you could have seen
I have to agree listen to the words this song is raw emotion some people just run their mouths to do something they feel is expert sense but still another jackass opinion.
Your the first modern nashville country artist who's album I ever purchased and that was the Outsiders. Your the only one I think can claim the outlaw title in Mainstream country music today! This song gets to me and I don't have a wife or kids or a woman in my life. I always thought I would die young. But now I am getting old. My mom just died yesterday and I have hardly stopped crying since she flatlined while i was holding her hand in the hospital. I moved home to Detroit from Montana last summer cause My momma asked me to because she needed someone to help her face the possibility that she might have cancer. So I quit my job in Montana and moved back and started staying in my sisters house in my nephews old room. I was taking her down to the VA every appointment she had (cause my mom was a Vietnam era vet as a Lady Marine). I was there when they told her she had cancer and I stayed strong for her and held her as she cried when she learned the results. I reassured her she'd get through it and not die when she told me that I was the exact same age she was when her momma died of cancer. I promised her that I would be there for her and that we'd get her through the treatment. But I failed. and I feel terrible about it. Cause when I was a kid I thought I was invincible and I didn't need anyone, I partied and did drugs and lived wild and now I look back and realize how much I made her suffer when I was young. I just didn't want her to die from her worst fear and in the end there was nothing I could do. Now I am all alone with no home .
he has the most beautiful voice. this song makes me think of my uncle. man, I miss him. he did put the rage in the river, he kept me from going under. Call it intuition call it what you want but I prayed he wouldn't be the man to die young!!!! RIP~ R.O.P.
Awesome song .... I sit out on my back porch on warm summer nights in my rocking chair with a cold beer and listen to his songs. It is one of my favorite things to do. Very deep very heartfelt music. Been through a lot myself..... Jeff
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there?
Fantastic performance, he played this by himself when I saw him in Glasgow and it was utterly brilliant. One of the best artists of recent times without a doubt.
This song hits home, today I made it to 30, had a hell of a ride the first 30 years of life. But here I am standing tall, proud and a better man because of my life experiences.
ok i wish i had half the talent eric church has in his little finger...i'd be in a lot better place in life. i was going to be the guy who died way too young, til i got married and had the only 3 reasons in my life to stay alive. i'm divorced now:(. when it happened and every day since, i'v dreamed of being that guy again. my 3 babies are the only thing that's kept me going. when i listen to anything eric sings, it makes me think of either them, or worse...her. but no matter what i feel at the time, his music makes me feel alive. maybe someday i'l get the woman that makes me want to live forever again.
I hate when people say his songs like this are boring. Its just not your kinda themed song, but I think stuff like this, lightning, and the hard way are his best stuff cause they have more heart than almost anything!!!
at 2:47 you can hear him screw up a little bit and look down at his guitar as if to figure out how he did it. I think this is the best part of the song. Not many artists play a real song and post it without editing. Makes the song feel real.
Gr8 ear !! This song was cut from the first take,.. Originally just sang for a mic chk,.. The response of everyone that was in the room when he sang it,.. He said it was a no doubter!
Thank you Eric. You speaking to my soul with this song. I'm sure lot's of guys think the same. Years in the wild music business. My wife put up with it all. She nursed me back after many rough nights. We now have 2 young daughters, and they are everything. I didn't think I would make it here. Now 45. Still playing, still married. This song speaks to me like no other. Been with that woman for 24 years now.
I am so glad Eric you didn’t die young, there’s something about you when I look at your face I see a very kind, loving, man, man.Fortunately God knows us better than we could even imagine and I believe He saw the same thing in you that I do. You have so much to offer and I hope you take advantage of it in a good way. Thank you for your video it was interesting, quite a message.
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there?
The music will bring us come together. Love Eric 💕💕💕💕💕 The music will bring us come together. Love Eric 💕💕💕💕💕 The music will bring us come together. Love Eric 💕💕💕💕💕 The music will bring us come together. Love Eric 💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you Mr misunderstood. You saved my life through your music. Just flipped 40, and man who was gonna die Young hits me. Like a July Tuesday night cheers on repeat.
This is the first time I've ever heard this Eric Church song, and he describes my husband perfectly. Its like he had a conversation with him. My new favorite Church song.
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there!
I love this song, and I love how minimalistic his videos can be. They're not frilly or extravagant, but they sure are beautiful: like a lot of Church's songs. Love him and his music!
I've repeated over and over that Eric Church is the greatest country musician of the 21st Century. Not Kenny Chesney, not Toby Keith, not Tim McGraw (though I respect all of their music). So much feeling, so much power in his music. What makes it even more incredible is that at the same time, he can put out awesome, upbeat, crank-it-up-and-cruise songs like What I Almost Was, Drink In My Hand, and The Outsiders and they sound just as good. Truly a dynamic talent, and one of the last Outlaws. Jamey Johnson is probably the only other 21st century guy who can claim that Outlaw status, although you could argue Aaron Watson.
I swear he was reading my mind when he wrote this. I can't get over the chorus "I always thought I'de be a heap of metal in a cloud of smoke foot stuck to the pedal, sold for parts like a rusted out junkyard Chevy."
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there!
I like fast cars and shop dreams, Chased a lot of crazy things, Left behind my share of broken pieces This morning I turned 36 And you just remember half of it You wonder how you out-lived Hank or Jesus I put the rage in a river, roll in a thunder But you kept me from going under When that current got too heavy I always thought I'd be a heap of metal And a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy Fear I've had none, What the hell made you wanna love A man who was gonna die young? In the mirror I saw my surprise, Who knew gray hairs like to hide on a head, Didn't think he'd live past thirty If I make it thirty more, It's the brown that you'll be looking for As you run your fingers through, Say slow down honey I put the rage in a river, roll in a thunder But you kept me from going under When that current got too heavy I always thought I'd be a heap of metal And a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy Fear I've had none, What the hell made you wanna love A man who was gonna die young? Call it intuition, or call it crazy Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies But I'd gladly stick around if we're together So baby when you bow your head tonight, Could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind And with you I'd like to live forever
My ex sent this to me when we first started dating. It wouldnt load so i never listened to it. Found it reading old texts after he left me. Every song he listened to reflected how he felt and i missed it till now. And i feel so guilty for forgetting to go back and listen. This song fits him perfectly and i cry every time I listen
"Fear I've had none, what the hell made you love a man who was gonna die Young" 4 months ago my man wrapped his truck around a tree. He was 19. He was my best friend, my heart, my soul, my everything. We had just gotten engaged right before he had passed. Im barely 18, but never for a second did I doubt my love for my man. He came into my life and left it, and I just have to believe that it all happened for a reason, and thank God that I had the opportunity to have such a beautiful human being in my life even if it was for a short time... There's no harm in loving a man who died young.
No man in my family has lived past 50 so I always had it in my head that I wouldn't either and tried to live as much as I could while I could, but afraid of death. Now I'm no longer afraid, but I just want the hurt to go away.
Eric Church is by far my favorite musician. I seen him live in the summer and it almost seemed like he didn't want to be there.. I hope that's just part of his act to go along with his mellow sound
Every time I hear this song, I think about the man I am with in my life, this song soo him, and I love him to pieces sooo much! Cause he treats me so amazing!
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there!
I always thought my lifestyle would get me but as my hair grey's and my energy slows my energy is redirected to give my family the things they need to be happy and survive in the long term that will get me, my grandfather lived for the family and I am going to do the same it's not the appeal, it's in a man to provide to give all ,to achieve what is needed for all ,that means the world to you to thrive
What a fabulous start to the day - a new video! I adore Eric when he rocks and I adore him when he's unplugged. Amazingly talented and moving either way!
This song really resonates with me I understand every lyric cause unfortunately I lived my life fast and hard far too many times its about a guy who reaches the middle point of his life and reflects back on his past of all the stupid mistakes he's made along the way and see's the woman that has stood beside him through it all and wonders what about him made her stay why after everything he's done in his life and put her through as well made her love him enough to stay especially when there was so many times he shouldn't have lived through some of the things he did. I can relate I had an amazing wife that I managed to push out of my life and we've been separated for a year now and when she heard this song after I sent her the link she said she cried cause it definitely sounded like myself. So for those of you comparing the song to some of his others I guess you'll never really understand it cause you haven't lived it but in a way be glad cause to understand it doesn't always lead to a happy ending of the story.
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there?

im watching this on October 8 & my birthday is in 1995 and when is says October 8, 1995, that scene goes to minute 2:24 which is my birthday and i was feeling really down...like suicidal at times and this song really made me feel like i am where im supposed to be when im supposed to be there, thank you, Eric
amen always said you can save two lives with one thing love. this song is one that should be listened to. thankfully many havnt experienced this yet. but no one live forever. so today love live forgive. believe this we all want our last moments filled with the greatest memories not rushing to make amends or regrets. great memories.

This is the song my husband and I danced to on our wedding day. Gives me chills every time I hear it.
Awesome song .... I sit out on my back porch on warm summer nights in my rocking chair with a cold beer and listen to his songs. It is one of my favorite things to do. Very deep very heartfelt music. Been through a lot myself..... Jeff
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there?
He is one that’s going to fill their shoes… no lie
Fantastic performance, he played this by himself when I saw him in Glasgow and it was utterly brilliant. One of the best artists of recent times without a doubt.
This song hits home, today I made it to 30, had a hell of a ride the first 30 years of life. But here I am standing tall, proud and a better man because of my life experiences.
ok i wish i had half the talent eric church has in his little finger...i'd be in a lot better place in life. i was going to be the guy who died way too young, til i got married and had the only 3 reasons in my life to stay alive. i'm divorced now:(. when it happened and every day since, i'v dreamed of being that guy again. my 3 babies are the only thing that's kept me going. when i listen to anything eric sings, it makes me think of either them, or worse...her. but no matter what i feel at the time, his music makes me feel alive. maybe someday i'l get the woman that makes me want to live forever again.
The amount of emotion he put into this song is unreal.
We all know someone who is that man.
There is nothing more beautiful then country music god bless his voice and bless this country
I hate when people say his songs like this are boring. Its just not your kinda themed song, but I think stuff like this, lightning, and the hard way are his best stuff cause they have more heart than almost anything!!!
He has single handedly saved country music!!
I just saw this on Terminal List but wow... this song had me at the first line and got even better. I wish there was more country like this
at 2:47 you can hear him screw up a little bit and look down at his guitar as if to figure out how he did it. I think this is the best part of the song. Not many artists play a real song and post it without editing. Makes the song feel real.
Gr8 ear !! This song was cut from the first take,.. Originally just sang for a mic chk,.. The response of everyone that was in the room when he sang it,.. He said it was a no doubter!
That is sooo cute how he does that!!
Good ear man!
Stripped down, real & raw country....nothing better!
You speak to the soul of everyone when you sing!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Eric. You speaking to my soul with this song. I'm sure lot's of guys think the same. Years in the wild music business. My wife put up with it all. She nursed me back after many rough nights. We now have 2 young daughters, and they are everything. I didn't think I would make it here. Now 45. Still playing, still married. This song speaks to me like no other. Been with that woman for 24 years now.
One of his most soulful songs. I can never get enough of Eric Church!
I am so glad Eric you didn’t die young, there’s something about you when I look at your face I see a very kind, loving, man, man.Fortunately God knows us better than we could even imagine and I believe He saw the same thing in you that I do. You have so much to offer and I hope you take advantage of it in a good way. Thank you for your video it was interesting, quite a message.
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there?
well i just broke a modern day rule and actually went and bought a cd for fear i missed something else good
The music will bring us come together. Love Eric 💕💕💕💕💕
The music will bring us come together. Love Eric 💕💕💕💕💕
The music will bring us come together. Love Eric 💕💕💕💕💕
The music will bring us come together. Love Eric 💕💕💕💕💕
"Fear I've had none, what the hell made you wanna love A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young"
Xxoo💋
Wow once again Eric breaks the mold and gives us another dark song. The lyrics are raw and paintba realistic picture.
What poem ? And thank you
Your one of his disciples I know it. Truly magic...
Thank you Mr misunderstood. You saved my life through your music. Just flipped 40, and man who was gonna die Young hits me. Like a July Tuesday night cheers on repeat.
This is the first time I've ever heard this Eric Church song, and he describes my husband perfectly. Its like he had a conversation with him. My new favorite Church song.
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there!
I love this song, and I love how minimalistic his videos can be. They're not frilly or extravagant, but they sure are beautiful: like a lot of Church's songs. Love him and his music!
Love waking up to a fresh video from the Chief!!!!
I've repeated over and over that Eric Church is the greatest country musician of the 21st Century. Not Kenny Chesney, not Toby Keith, not Tim McGraw (though I respect all of their music). So much feeling, so much power in his music. What makes it even more incredible is that at the same time, he can put out awesome, upbeat, crank-it-up-and-cruise songs like What I Almost Was, Drink In My Hand, and The Outsiders and they sound just as good. Truly a dynamic talent, and one of the last Outlaws. Jamey Johnson is probably the only other 21st century guy who can claim that Outlaw status, although you could argue Aaron Watson.
+Zack Silverman Chris Stapleton.
Frank Foster is an outlaw.
One of the greatest songs ever wrote..cant believe it never made radio......
There’s no artist like this in country, fewer in rock. This guys a living legend.
I swear he was reading my mind when he wrote this. I can't get over the chorus "I always thought I'de be a heap of metal in a cloud of smoke foot stuck to the pedal, sold for parts like a rusted out junkyard Chevy."
this man is the truth may the universe conspire to protect him.
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there!
I like fast cars and shop dreams,
Chased a lot of crazy things,
Left behind my share of broken pieces
This morning I turned 36
And you just remember half of it
You wonder how you out-lived Hank or Jesus
I put the rage in a river, roll in a thunder
But you kept me from going under
When that current got too heavy
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
And a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy
Fear I've had none,
What the hell made you wanna love
A man who was gonna die young?
In the mirror I saw my surprise,
Who knew gray hairs like to hide on a head,
Didn't think he'd live past thirty
If I make it thirty more,
It's the brown that you'll be looking for
As you run your fingers through,
Say slow down honey
I put the rage in a river, roll in a thunder
But you kept me from going under
When that current got too heavy
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
And a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy
Fear I've had none,
What the hell made you wanna love
A man who was gonna die young?
Call it intuition, or call it crazy
Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies
But I'd gladly stick around if we're together
So baby when you bow your head tonight,
Could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind
And with you I'd like to live forever
My ex sent this to me when we first started dating. It wouldnt load so i never listened to it. Found it reading old texts after he left me. Every song he listened to reflected how he felt and i missed it till now. And i feel so guilty for forgetting to go back and listen. This song fits him perfectly and i cry every time I listen
This is MUCH better than the album version. Love the passion.
"Fear I've had none, what the hell made you love a man who was gonna die Young"
4 months ago my man wrapped his truck around a tree. He was 19. He was my best friend, my heart, my soul, my everything. We had just gotten engaged right before he had passed. Im barely 18, but never for a second did I doubt my love for my man. He came into my life and left it, and I just have to believe that it all happened for a reason, and thank God that I had the opportunity to have such a beautiful human being in my life even if it was for a short time... There's no harm in loving a man who died young.
Saw him in Indy for the 6 stops in 2 days. I cannot say enough about him as an artist. He is just amazing.
Eric church speaks for us all in so many different ways in all his songs! He is an original , all his music has so much soul !
I will always like Eric Church. He is very talented
Lyrics from a poet.
this is Tara Eric Church is one of the best country music singers of all time for the genre! !!! Who agrees with me?!
guitar is very special..
great song. love to hear him sing alone....so soulful.
I love how raw this video is...just Eric and his guitar. That's all I want to se anyways.
Man this cat tells the truth in all his songs. Mr. Church I thank you for this outlaw music my man no one says it better than u do!!!
No man in my family has lived past 50 so I always had it in my head that I wouldn't either and tried to live as much as I could while I could, but afraid of death. Now I'm no longer afraid, but I just want the hurt to go away.
His music has so much emotion.... That's good music if the listener can feel something.... That's what it's suppose to do!!! Love anything church
one of his best. that album really showcases what strong songwriting can do. well done sir.
I keep coming back to this song...every time I'm down, there is something about this song that makes me realize it is all going to be alright.
Eric Church is by far my favorite musician. I seen him live in the summer and it almost seemed like he didn't want to be there.. I hope that's just part of his act to go along with his mellow sound
Beautiful words and music, makes miss someone so dear , Hoss
Every time I hear this song, I think about the man I am with in my life, this song soo him, and I love him to pieces sooo much! Cause he treats me so amazing!
Eric Church the country music jesus
I am very thankful to my fans and their love they shed for me, I will keep working hard and try fulfilling all their expectation towards me.Are you one of my great fans out there!
I always thought my lifestyle would get me but as my hair grey's and my energy slows my energy is redirected to give my family the things they need to be happy and survive in the long term that will get me, my grandfather lived for the family and I am going to do the same it's not the appeal, it's in a man to provide to give all ,to achieve what is needed for all ,that means the world to you to thrive
What a fabulous start to the day - a new video! I adore Eric when he rocks and I adore him when he's unplugged. Amazingly talented and moving either way!
Eric church you rock , but I have a question for you will you teach me how to play the guitar like you do ?
This song really resonates with me I understand every lyric cause unfortunately I lived my life fast and hard far too many times its about a guy who reaches the middle point of his life and reflects back on his past of all the stupid mistakes he's made along the way and see's the woman that has stood beside him through it all and wonders what about him made her stay why after everything he's done in his life and put her through as well made her love him enough to stay especially when there was so many times he shouldn't have lived through some of the things he did. I can relate I had an amazing wife that I managed to push out of my life and we've been separated for a year now and when she heard this song after I sent her the link she said she cried cause it definitely sounded like myself. So for those of you comparing the song to some of his others I guess you'll never really understand it cause you haven't lived it but in a way be glad cause to understand it doesn't always lead to a happy ending of the story.
reminds me of my Daddy... rest in glory pop
This is my song to my wife. She saved me, I don’t know where I’d be without her and I don’t want to know.

I lost my husband March 5th.....He always knew he would die young.....he never promised anything ....
This guy sings about things that hit home!!

If I had just looked at the lyrics without Eric singing, I would swear this was a Jamey Johnson song. But Eric does it like no one else can.
