Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it 'til four
I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of dawn
Yeah I've been sittin' alone diggin' up bones
Then I went through the jewelery and I found our wedding rings
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling
across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
I'm diggin' up bones, I'm diggin' up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight i'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
And I went through the closet and I found some things in there
Like that pretty neglige that i bought you to wear
And I recall how good you looked each time you had it on
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
I'm diggin' up bones, I'm diggin' up bones
Exhuming things thats better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
(Paul Overstreet/Al Gore/Nat Stuckey)
I’m a metal head, and this to me is still one of the greatest voices of all time.
oh my gosh i thought i was the only one! same brother
You both have excellent tastes in music. I salute you both
Yeah but I’m a raphead
Same here.
🤘🤘🤘💪✌️👍👏❤️🙏
This is how country music should sound.
Hello Tracie 👋 how are you??
Amen. Perfect comment for this song - My beloved and I were fortunate enough to have seen him perform here in Izmir Turkey and everyone was so grateful for him coming here to entertain us. He put on a great performance for us and one we all enjoyed, although many of us were not Country & Western fans.
Amen
I’m ressurectng memories of how and when country music used to sound this good
And now the new country sounds like actual shit
I agree with you, Randy Travis is amazing. ❤
It's too bad but thankfully we still have the old stuff
@@barbbouma4838 hjki
😊😊😊😊
I’m old hip hop head but remember this from my youth. Amongst other country songs/artists…this is the real country. 💯
I’m with you
I heard this song for the first time about 3 days ago. I am completely taken. If the people in my house hear it again I may be thrown out.
I am stuck. Beautiful song.
I keep listening to it over and over again too , its quite remarkable.
BETTER THEN RAP SHIT
You'll be stuck if you listen to forever and ever, amen. That song is the reason I'm hooked on Randy Travis.
that s....funny..lol
Listen to it with Randy Travis and Josh Turner.
Best line of the year; "I went through the jewelry, and found our wedding rings, I put mine on my finger, and I gave yours a fling." I love this song.
That's my favorite part! lol
@@silva147708a
But why does he have her ring, and her clothes? He doesn';t say she died so... why does he have all her stuff?
@@vinny142 She left a negligee that he bought her, and her wedding ring. Not wanting anything that reminds her of him.
This song will never get old
Truth❤
unlike your bald head

NEVER
charley pride and randy travis who could ask for more great music
Randy Travis was my grandma's favorite singer, and when I'm in a bad emotional place , I just put some randy Travis tunes on and cry
I can relate to this! Take care!
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Crying is the best medicine
Combat your sad emotions with happy music. Feeling sad is a bad feeling and I'm sorry. I know how it is.
Jjk
I’m a fan of Randy since day one
This is kinda country music I like. The older stuff. That's real country music!!!
Damn straight
Randy is such a good singer .....any. One agree
Absolutely
My grandfather ,Al Gore (singer/songwriter not the Vice President), cowrote this song with Paul Overstreet. I can hear him singing it in the kitchen every time it plays. My Pa died in 2004 and it still gives me chills to hear Randy Travis sing it as it did the very first time.♥️
Hello 👏 Jennifer Earls
@@davidmacos2916 ciao David!🙋😍😘💘🌅
That’s awesome.
THEY WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT GOOD COUNTRY MUSIC IS
Hello 👋 Erica. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I’m Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Every time I hear this song, I think of my grandma after she divorced her second husband (her first died when I was a child). She died almost 25 years ago after a 3+ year battle with cancer.
Pure voice, pure lyrics, and really hits my heart. Missing my wife and family live😢
😅😂
😅😅😅😅
I feel you bro
Sorry man
I went to the pawnshop 😂
How can you not love his voice! It's so awesome!
Hello 👏 Tammy Honke
He has a voice of liquid gold.... its amazing...
Jami Miller Why not just regular gold???
Liquid gold is much smoother, of course, and it has an inimitable flow.
Jami Miller could not be told better
Randy and George, two voices without equal
yeah, Randy truly had that it factor in his voice. :)
I miss this old school country!
Me too
Randy Travis was so so special! I know he is trying to come back, hope and pray he makes!
Yeah! I hope he make a comeback he is old now, Like really old.
@@DarkBishop19 he's only 60, im 50, but when I was 18-19 I thought 32 was old. Lol
@@DarkBishop19 He's 61, if he is really old, I am ancient! LOL! Old doesn't matter are long as you are above the ground! You must be very young! God Bless Ya!
Randy Travis (Traywick) is my 6th cousin 4 times removed :)
If y’all haven’t, check out this song he just released: Fools Love Affair! It so amazing ♥️
There will never been another voice like this. God bless Randy Travis
Josh turner is nearest to him. Randy is unique. Greetings from ireland🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Randy Travis, Keith Whitley, Conway Twitty are the country music artists I jam too when life gets me down.
Amen
Can't forget Waylon Jennings or Johnny Cash they are awesome to.
This man is definitely one of a kind. His music, his voice, and his style of singing are so unique. He is really great
Yes but he obviously listened to alot of Lefty Frizzell and George Jones.
Rich guys always gets the woman. But i kept my diamond in a secret place lol. Only the rich gets the women .
Tgip
Randy, a living country legend.
I remember my aunt singing this song when I was little and I liked it. The next day, she called up the radio station and asked them to play it so i could hear it. They did, and now its a nice memory. I'm glad this song popped up today
Hello how are you doing 😊
im 26 and its 2020. my mom passed back in 2008. but she loved playing some Randy Travis, George Strait and good ole hank williams and hank williams Jr
This song has been playing in my head for three days on repeat.
Randy held me as a baby and then again as a toddler and has been a major influence on me as an amateur artist myself
What the fuck ahahaha
Are you related to George Jones, One of Randy’s best friends.
My daughter’s leaving on an archeological dig and I always make her a playlist. This song from my youth always makes the cut. You’d be surprised (or not 😂) how many songs are out there with 🦴 references lol.
I absolutely love this 😂😂.
one time I made my daughter listen to this song over and over in my ‘82 Caprice Classic on cassette when she was like 8 ... on the way to her dentist ... I was having an emo moment that day and it’s our favourite song to this day...
All of his songs are catchy, I could listen to Randy Travis every day. That's what I call true country. His gospel songs made me feel at ease.
His holiday album, “An Olde Time Christmas” is one we play every year while decorating for the season
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE RANDY TRAVIS, NO ONE !!!! GOD BLESS HIM ALWAYS!
mam you got some taste for music 😀😀😀
Josh Turner almost cuts it.. ha
Vince Gill and Randy Travis are my favorites lol
EX-FUCKING-ZACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T FORGET ABOUT ALAN JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was not raised to love country music, but there was reasons why I learned that I did love it. This song was one of those reasons.
I'm an alien from another planet whose music would melt your face, but I got this on repeat as it's 'dope' as Blarthu.
I use to sing this song to my mom it reminded me of her and her and my step dad bill hagen..god rest her soul..I miss her so much..its been to many years seems like just yesterday she was here..randy Travis always takes me back..love u mom!!
Krissy Dailey I feel the same way.. My stepdad,and mom would listen to this in the truck when I was a kid.. It's a love hate for me though. I love the song,and I cant control that,but I hate some of the memories so bad I just want em gone.. :/ But I keep comin back?

God bless you
yes it is true I sing this song to my mom to I'm 25 lost my at 17 year old
Today is one year that I lost my Dad and being from a rural area in Canada when I turned 19 and was able to go out with my parents, local bands would play this song and my dad and I would dance to it, I learned so much from him, and to anyone who has a good stepparent just remember they chose to be a part of your life even when they don't have to be, and my dad was an amazing man, to me he wasn't a stepparent he was a dad in every sense of the word and I miss him dearly.
+Cyn Gab so sorry. lost mine 21 years ago and music brings him back to me too
Thank you, sometimes it's still hard
Cyn Gab I'm sorry man I just lost my grandpa this November and he loved this song. So now I'm sitting up here digging up bones about me and him

Randy Travis is the singer who made me a country music fan. May you have peace and joy in all things, Randy. Thanks.
Best country voice ever hands down
Same
It is so sad that he can’t sing anymore so to his stroke singing was his passion he had an amazing voice
30 yrs of marriage...i dont know how many times i sat and dug up bones ...
But are you and him still together?? I always thought this song was about him reminiscing about his lost love after a break up?? Maybe im wrong sorry to be so nosy stay safe

Hello 👏 Shirley

I hope he's not suffering going through what he is but I know he'll always have a special place in my heart and mind... Love you buddy
Hello 👏 Tanner
Randy Travis is a country music legend. His music will never get old. I've been listening to him since the 90s. I'm 30 now. His music is beyond amazing
Grew up listening to Randy Travis and still listening today. I'm in my 40's.
Great country ❤❤
A great country artist. ❤❤

The sound of Randy Travis makes me think of car rides through the country in Louisiana when I was a kid.
I miss my Dad.
I'm not a big country music fan, but there are a few country acts that I actually have gotten into to some degree and Randy is one of them. It's something about his voice that just drew me in.
love this song n I guess we all dig up bone's once in a while
kASEY
if we dont dig 'em up someone else will dig 'em up for us
To the younger crowd out there (and anybody else who does not know)..this selection became Randy Travis' second number one song on the United States of America BILLBOARD entertainment magazine 'Hot Country Singles' chart exactly thirty years ago during this coming week..
oh yeah mama,that's rite
catherine schipske b
Wish I could have seen him, Vince Gill, Clint Black, George Jones, Patsy Cline, George Straight, Charlie Pride, Sooo many amazing talents that we should always appreciate and remember!
Well Facts are Facts fellas. Hate all you want. Randy Travis SAVED country music in the 80's and Sam Hut and Flo Go wont be around to see a minute of this MAN'S career. A legend!
My mom introduced me to Randy Travis with this song, she was so great! I miss her so much!
Jajìwniiw kiw
The smell of honey-tonk/bar/dive along with the music emanates from the speaker, as I listen to this piece; memories of adolescence also come out long before I learned what honey-tonk/bar/dive smelled like.
my hubby surprised with concert tickets in Toronto CNE back when I in my 20's I was so excited I could hardly breath... I loved the show and Randy ...
What a voice! I can't believe that some people are giving him shit about what happened years ago. So what....I mean, who hasn't been woken up naked....by the cops...in a car...located in a church parking lot. That is a life lived to the fullest!
I love this man's voice! Hang in there, Randy!!! Praying for you!
I really wish that this music was still being made ....but like usually out with the old in with the new .....or out with the best ,,,in with the worst ......that's this world though and what makes me really mad is how this world is trying to forget about God.....
I love to hear Randy Travis sing, one of my all-time favorites. He is like a diamond, and his wife is like his sparkle, which keeps him going. Which makes them Gold together. ❤
How are you doing today
Muh first album I bought when a kid. And yup i still listen to this song in years to come. It was,a song by randy travis.
Randy Travis is my favorite i was raised on real country he has a voice of gold
His voice is definition of country
He'll always be one of the best
Amen to this!
Best music ever, this is true country and I could listen to Randy all day everyday

Hello 👏 Stephanie Swords
I grew up a huge punk music fan, but this song anchors me to this genre. It will always live in my Playlists.
Good ol Randy he's from North Carolina not far from where I live always loved his music classic
These songs often describe the lives of many of us, the lyrics are the best
My loving wife of 17 years passed away 40 days ago. I made a few changes to the lyrics of this great song (the changes make it so personal). I do still cry when I dig up her memories.
Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it 'til four
I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of dawn
Yeah I've been sittin' alone diggin' up bones
[Verse 2:]
Then I went through the jewelry and found your wedding rings
I found the lovely watch you wore, and a few other precious things
Then I cried and weep all night, for our poor empty home
Yeah tonight I'm sitting alone diggin' up bones
[Chorus:]
I'm diggin' up bones, I'm diggin' up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of my wife, who’s dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
[Verse 3:]
And I went through the closet and I found some things in there
Like that pretty negligee that I bought her to wear
And I recall how good she looked each time she had it on
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
[Chorus]
I'm diggin' up bones, I'm diggin' up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of my wife, who’s dead and gone
Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
When I was little we used to travel Australia in trucks and caravan, my dad always had Randy playing when we travelled. He died when I was only eight but I’ll always have these memories ❤️
May God lighten your load Randy Travis and thank you for all the good you've ever done in this world and the next in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
When I was 3 years old when this song was on in my grandpa's car, I'll always sing along now I'm a 17 year old boi still singing this song till this day..
I hate how people are making jokes about this song. Its a country classic
+FantaTheLion Who cares? They don't even know. We know it's a great song!
Now why in the f*** would you make fun of this song that just shows your f****** ass dumb f***
Yio
Yep
elcasey this is the best song in the world
One of the 5 best voices in country music history. ymmv
Mike Penske Agreed
Mike Penske
Mike People
1. The king
2. Marty Robbins
3. Johnny Cash
4. Hank Williams
5. Randy Travis
Tyler Brandt I like your line up. Only one I would add is Conway
Randy Travis will always be one of my favorite country singers. He is real country the way it still should be. When he sings, you know he's giving it all he has. One of my favorite cartoon episodes is an episode of the Nicolonian show Hey Arnold. Randy Travis makes an appearance as a country singer. It is quite fun. Also, he was on quite a few episodes of the show Touched by an Angel.
Rest in Peace to my Granny and Grandpa. They loved Randy Travis. I remember hearing these good ole songs growing up.. what great memories...
Ikr and my grandparents me and my cousins always listened to dr hook to
Best song of his a country classic!!!
I agree! So much truth in his voice.
love this song....but my 7 year old son sings this song word for word listen to it over and over
If you was raised in the 2000s you had to listen to this kind of music 😅
Simply a brilliant Randy Travis masterpiece!
Hello 👏 Michael X
Ya know I was never too much into country but a few years ago I listened to one of his cd's with this song on it and alot of others and have to compliment him on having one of the most genuine sounding country voices I've ever heard...he was born to sing those tunes....what a beautiful deep soulful voice :-)
When I was a little girl this was
My first country song I can remember hearing. I was obsessed with it. My sisters made me a tape that was just this song.

My dad bought a 2000 Chevy Astro back in 2014. It wasn’t healty at all, engine didn’t want to start half of the time, rust partied a little bit everywhere, it was roughly worth it’s 500$. The guy who sold it left a CD album on the dash.
So my dad kept on workin’ on it every spare time he had until it finally drove like a brand new truck on a fresh made road. When it got back on it’s wheels, he entered the CD it had well earned and next thing you know, this beast of a truck has been driving miles after miles 5 days a week, rocking to Randy Travis everytime it hits a long country road it can ride. So many memories got in there, it will be soon time for it to pursue it’s story with a new family that will, just like us, find Randy Travis hangin’ on the dash.
I've loved this song since I was just a kid most people don't even know who he is no more 😖
I may not be old but I’m 13 but when I was little me and my bsf would listen to this song all the time
Just resurrecting memories that’s dead and left beyond
I’m a hiphop old head but got this song on repeat. Dope as hell!!
This song makes me cry. I used to listen to this song on road trips with my old boyfriend from highschool in his ‘72 lifted Chevy Cheyenne truck, we ended things how normal highschool things end. I hope he’s enjoying the married life. Man this brings me back
His voice is so calming.
I really enjoy Randy's music. He has ALWAYS been a favorite of mine. He was an INDIVIDUAL when everybody else wanted to be generic or just like everybody else. He is not perfect and yes he had made his share of mistakes (who hasn't?), he is only human. I say all of that to say this; I will be praying for Randy Travis. Will you do the same?

Hello how are you doing today
My dad's name was Randy and this was one of his favorites of all time makes me cry every time I hear him...raised on Travis wouldn't have it any other way

As a person who only listens to rock music this is the greatest contry song i have ever listened to😍
Thanks for your love and support towards my
career, I really appreciate you for your love and
support , hope you never stop listening to my music. 🎶🎵
I loved this song at 5, years old, and still love it at 31, and will still go on loving it until I'm 90, (If I live that long.)
Lol
That real country music. I hope he makes it back to full health. Amazing he was always.
This is what I play when I’m going through family photos and I talk about the ones that have went on. Keeping them alive through stories and memories.
Listening to this, makes modern day country make my skin crawl.
Randy Travis’s voice is one of the best ever. Every song is a treasure.
One of my favourite country singer. Have always loved his voice. Amazing.

When I first heard this song back in 1986, I assumed the singer was some old country guy. I could just hear the booze, cigarettes, and years in his voice. I was shocked when I found out Randy Travis was some guy in his 20s!
Let's just say I've never been a country music "enthusiast", don't even listen to it, but I can 'Appreciate' music from country all the way to Mozart. And I liked Randy Travis the first time I saw him on some short clip on some TV show some many, Many, years ago. It was something about him, personally. He struck me as a good person with a good heart and a good soul. And, to me, what a Man is supposed to be.
And I'm thinking it might have been a talk show because I'm fairly sure he hadn't even sang yet. :o And when he did, I was sure that my opinion of him was correct.
My Daddy ordered this album for us, by mail, (I was a later in life child, he was older and we still had a vintage turn-table Stereo) It came COD. I was about 11 years old. He had cancer. Listening to music, Ralph Emory on CMT and Digging up bones are some of my fondest memories we shared before he passed.
Hello 👋 Cody. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I’m Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I went from listening to Sade to Randy Travis I have an appreciation for all the music
Same here
Greatest country singer of all time. That's just my opinion
You and Ed Harley agree.
WHAT ABOUT JOHNNY CASH THOUGH?
Agreed.
For me, yes - a split with Johnny Cash and Randy Travis. Oops, my very bad, let's now throw Willie Nelson in the mix - make it a TRIO!
i agree I love Randy
