I liked this song when I was younger it had a warm feeling to it.. Then I listen to the lyrics a couple years later now i'm like "wow.. this song is not what I thought it was"
I listened to it for years thinking it said piss in your tea my daughter told me the right words and the meaning to the song I really did not have a clue what it meant 😂😂😂😂..
More than a decade later, and the truth comes out! I was out of high school when I learned the reason behind this song. I just had my friend listen to this song and I had him guess what its bout and told him hes like "damn...2024 and I just find out" Im dead
This song is dedicated to a beautiful little boy who lost his life before it had a chance to start. He and his Daddy loved this song!! Ronnie, love ya man. His memory will never be lost. Hugs man. -Jen H.

I love how music can mean so many different things to different people…. As a kid this was just an upbeat song that I sang in the car…. But now as an adult addict in recovery, it is clearly about heroin…. And half the people in these comments interpret this song differently and that’s the beauty of music!
It's about a guy how is sleeping with a woman who's married. "I'm not worried about the ring you wear" "I'm not the reason you go a stray, We'll be okay if you don't ask me to stay"
@@ThePicturePixie “I’m not worried about the ring you wear because as long as no one knows than nobody can care” hiding drug addiction from a spouse. See can mean a bazillion things, each song means what it needs to mean to the person listening to it. And most times when an artist is asked what the song means even if it seems SO obvious, their meaning when they wrote it was something totally different.
@@LeftieLoosie Yeah no. From what I checked online about the song it's about both and neither. (Yes I left the comment and then googled it) At the end of the day it's you driving into a meaning that's not 100% there. Same with me. Artists do put meaning into their work. It's both and neither. So split the diff and say it's about a woman who's cheating on her husband with her drug dealer.
@@ThePicturePixie lol it could be…. I’m not saying that it’s the absolute meaning. I have no idea what the artist was thinking when it was written. I was just saying what the song means to me. From personal experience. I am a recovering addict. When I heard this song as a child I heard a cheating song… when I heard this song as an addict who has been clean for years, I hear a song where it’s almost like the drug is singing to an addict, only because it sparks that part of my life for me. Every line I can relate back to drugs, which most people couldn’t, because what makes sense to an addict doesn’t usually make sense to a non addict. So I wasn’t trying to say “hey you’re wrong this is actually about blah blah blah, was just saying what the song means to ME, how I interpret it, and how it brings me peace.
Pj phillips 2050 , we have no oceans and ww3 has wiped out more then 97% of humanity , we are sending back recruits to the year 2020 to try stop the extinction of humanity, we are struggling to succeed and we fear that we don’t have long left
2019! Me and my brother grew up with this song and still nothing can replace them :) when I was young I use thing it was kids he was singing to but now I understand
@@amyschildgamerlive4519 It's not, but it doesn't always have to be. I once looked for the song The Flood by Take That, but I didn't know the name the of song or the name of the band at that time. What I did know was that the clip of the song had men in kayaks. So I typed in 'men in kayak song' and it immediately linked me to the correct video. Sometimes, even a remote shot in the dark just works out for you, even if you only have a very small amount of not very helpful information.
Uncle Kracker had this to say about this song: "[The song] takes on a couple of different meanings. I've heard some people think that I'm talking about drugs, or some people think I'm talking about cheating. I guess it's kinda both. I would never want to say anything that would get myself in trouble, being married with a couple of kids. That song is like a dirty picture painted with a pretty brush."
I love this song. This song was the very FIRST song I learned when I was little. My mom loved it too. This was our song. My mom passed away 3years ago in July. Every-time I hear this song I want to cry.
I got chills once I learned what this song is about. Drugs is one hell of drug But that’s the best part about music… it’s whatever you interpret it as & it becomes everyone’s anthem to their own life journey ❤
It's crazy how when you're young these songs are so seemingly innocent and have such warm, fuzzy vibes to them because as a little kid you're also so innocent. When you're older and pay attention to the lyrics, it's shocking how dark the lyrics actually are and what this song is really about. "swim through your veins like a fish in the sea" Holy shit!
Its about adultery not heroin. One line kinda half ass implies heroin while the rest of the song paints a clear picture of adultery but fuck it lets go with that one line that might be about heroin if you tilt your head and squint at it really hard.
@@Maibuwolf It's most definitely about heroin addiction but that's the beauty of this song because it would fly over heads like yourself You'd have to be an addict to truly understand this song It's definitely not just that one line....If you know anything about heroin You'd know it describes the drug talking to the addict
Dam dude...it’s insane how you can interpret a song if you don’t look at or know the lyrics then how much that song changes when you finally understand the true meaning of said song
I would dance with my grandma and sit in my papa's lap when I was a toddler to this song. It was one of our songs, especially mine and my grandma's. Now I'm twelve, and still love this song.
@@nsgmrsoul6641 He said, mercilessly crushing their happy memories. Yes, you are correct that it is about a heroin addiction, but you could've just let them have their happy childhood memories the way they are, man.
I started singing it in the shower and had to look it up cause all I knew was the chorus. Probably haven't heard the song in 10 years and it was still in there somehow!
I miss my brother, he use to always tell me everytime he heard this song it reminded him of me, when I was little kid. I love you jeffy. My last voice-mail of u before u were gone was you singing this. I fucking miss you bad. I love you. #SiblingsforeverBigBro💔
the nostalgia is strong with this one. i remember this being played on the radio all the time when i was little and my family and i would be driving down the Jersey shore for the weekend.
Hearin' this again reminds me of my dad, he and I don't chat much anymore, but whenever this plays, I picture myself a little kid again sittin' in my dad's truck drivin' around. ^^
When I was a small lad, my mother would play a cassette tap Uncle Kracker every night, and I always thought he was my real uncle. Amazing memories. Thank you, Uncle.
First I am VERY sorry for your loss! This was mine and my mom's song also and she passed away on November 19, 2014 at 6 p.m. She was an AMAZING mom when she wasn't doped up. We got our relationship a lot better and I was the VERY last thing she said was I love you baby girl I love you. I told her I love you mommy
I usw to jam to the song all the time. I fell to addiction after fighting PTSD from 19yrs of being a firefighter/EMT. After I found out this song was about addiction in rehab 5 yes ago. I could definitely understand why this is about heroin
This song is not about heroin. "and swim through your veins like a fish in the sea" is a simile. Love is chemical reaction in the body. And the hormones are in your blood stream. Last time I checked, love is just as addicting. Heroin doesn't tuck you in at night, your lover would. Grow up people. It's not about drugs. Unlike most music, Country music has actual meaning.
"It takes on a couple of different meanings. I've heard some people think that I'm talking about drugs, or some people think I'm talking about cheating. I guess it's kinda both. I would never want to say anything that would get myself in trouble, being married with a couple of kids. That song is like a dirty picture painted with a pretty brush." Really, it just depends on your interpretation.
my god I'm only 15 and this makes me feel old. my family watched the animal a while ago and this song came on and we all felt really nostalgic. we herd this all the time when I was little.
I’m loving this comment section. Yeah.. I’m 25 now and just found out what the song from my childhood was really about. That nostalgia, man…. I want to be a kid again. 😭🤣
Wow I never had a dad growing up and this was my comfort song at the age of like 9. I didn't understand the lyrics I just wanted a father figure and his voice was so sweet "ill be the one to tuck you in at night" was all I needed. Fast forward 15 years and I listen again to realize... WOW I had NO IDEA what this song was trying to convey.
This was and always will be mine and my granddads song. He would always sing this and when I started singing, I would sing with him too. And now he's gone, I sing it for us both ❤️
I work at a dispensary in California and there’s a lot of different people different ages and races I see everyday, but when I play this song everyone sings a long and has a great vibe (:
“Can’t turn around and say goodbye.” Tell me how does one say goodbye to their best friend? Drugs may kill you but they will never break your heart! Facts
This song and Tracy Chapman's Fast Car are the two songs with the most catchy and upbeat tune that makes you go "oh this is a lot darker than I first thought"
Mijn lieve Walther van mij! Ik weet dat ik niemand zo lief voor mij, als jij vind! Daarom ga ik ook nooit weg bij jou. Ik houd wel ontzettend veel van jou!
Follow Me was one of the very first Uncle Kracker songs I remember hearing when I was younger. I listen to his song Drift Away whenever I am having a really bad day. It seems to help.
My precious husband Sgt1st Class Carl Jenkins introduced me to Mr Kracker I am so glad he did I love his music and you my precious soldier hurry home it’s been 8 very long months and I really miss you
I remember so vividly singing this song in kindergarten in front of my friends. We were sitting at a table and I was singing it and they all just started laughing. I got so embarrassed I was too scared to ever sing again... but that moment and this song reminds me that... no matter the song or the audience, if you're enjoying singing and your happy in the moment, it doesn't matter. I'm glad that day happened, because without it and without this song.... I wouldn't have the confidence to sing out loud ❤
2003-2005 at Parkdale daycare in Norfolk, Virginia. Still remember doing a little performance to this song on the wood platform in the backyard of the "older kids" building. That's a very strong memory. I'm forever going to love this song regardless of what it's about, because ironically it embodies innocence for me. My childhood.
I know that this is a song about cheating, but the chorus of this song honestly reminds me of God and Jesus Christ. I’m not leaving my faith anytime soon, because I know that at least for me, there’s no one else like God or Christ.
used to sing this with a friend on the school bus back in 5th/6th grade--I still remember how we'd sing it at the top of our lungs when it would come on. :) Now I'm in college and I still love itttt
Well I'm shocked after I learned the meaning of the song😂 I used to listen to this song before,and I loved it... Never thought it's for the unfaithful ones...
For a girl named angel looking for an insane nostalgia trip, I remember too. We were like seven and we were listening to this song on repeat for three summers in a row. I love you and miss you❤
This song got me through my foster home stage from age 6 to 16 I don't know why but I'm still here and working on getting my brother out of the system and into living on his own

GUYS PRAY FOR SAM AND COLBY THEY BEEN DECEIVED BY DEMONS AND ARE IN DANGER THEY ARE UA-camRS❤
God wouldnt allow souls to be trapped on earth, its umbilical and never happened all souls belong to God, so you cant sell your soul to the devil❤
And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sin❤
So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤
Familiar spirits are demons
well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤
And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
People: okay please stay this is your place❤
Demon: okay
People: **leaves**
Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to.
Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't
150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you
God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤
Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤
Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve
You serve the devil when you
Lie
Hate
Blasphemy
Disobey
Lazy
Gossip
Gluttony
Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house
Hate
And unforgivness
And cussing murder and more
And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤
God is holy and righteous God is love
So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤
You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤
Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine!

God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤
Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ahhh this is my song! x3 when I was little my daddy would sing it and play it for me on his guitar. Rest in peace dad you are living on in my heart!
It's crazy how when you're young these songs are so seemingly innocent and have such warm, fuzzy vibes to them because as a little kid you're also so innocent. When you're older and pay attention to the lyrics, it's shocking how dark the lyrics actually are and what this song is really about. "swim through your veins like a fish in the sea" Holy shit!
Its about adultery not heroin. One line kinda half ass implies heroin while the rest of the song paints a clear picture of adultery but fuck it lets go with that one line that might be about heroin if you tilt your head and squint at it really hard.
@@Maibuwolf It's not just the one line, the entire song perfectly describes heroin addiction from the perspective of the drug itself.
@@hazleweatherfield968 When you put it that way, that's so fucked up
@@hazleweatherfield968 same
@@Maibuwolf It's most definitely about heroin addiction but that's the beauty of this song because it would fly over heads like yourself You'd have to be an addict to truly understand this song It's definitely not just that one line....If you know anything about heroin You'd know it describes the drug talking to the addict
two things you can take away from this song:
1. cheating
2. drugs
I thought it's also about child kidnapping
@@dprssdcat That was whiskey in the water
Its about heroin. How it doesnt discriminate and doesnt care if you have a ring or not.
I thought drugs. Especially the swimming in your veins like a fish in the sea part.
It's sang from the perspective of heroin. It's about addiction.
Still listening to this song in 2021, dad used to sing this to me all the time when I was younger ❤️
I feel old... ten years ago... this song was coming out of everyone's mouth and the radio. I feel so old
My grandfather Sang it all the time
@@atomicreactor6033 the song was already 10 years old by that point its 20+ years old
Dam dude...it’s insane how you can interpret a song if you don’t look at or know the lyrics then how much that song changes when you finally understand the true meaning of said song
Definitely about Heroin
@@jayg9283 totally 😂😂
@@jayg9283 wrong
the song doesnt change. it is still just as good as it was. its only your thoughts that change.
@@jayg9283 this is about drugs ?? Lol I had no clue
I would dance with my grandma and sit in my papa's lap when I was a toddler to this song. It was one of our songs, especially mine and my grandma's. Now I'm twelve, and still love this song.
It's about heroin
@@nsgmrsoul6641 He said, mercilessly crushing their happy memories. Yes, you are correct that it is about a heroin addiction, but you could've just let them have their happy childhood memories the way they are, man.
@@Xylarxcode
But on the other hand you can keep this song and the memories dear even if you now know what its about
ur not 12 you're 18 liar
@@RainyFoxUwU wat
still a vibe in 2023,
proof the classics live forever
Agreed
I shall also agree
Boutta be a 2024 vibe
I started singing it in the shower and had to look it up cause all I knew was the chorus. Probably haven't heard the song in 10 years and it was still in there somehow!
I miss my brother, he use to always tell me everytime he heard this song it reminded him of me, when I was little kid. I love you jeffy.
My last voice-mail of u before u were gone was you singing this.
I fucking miss you bad. I love you.
#SiblingsforeverBigBro💔
I just started singing this song randomly yesterday and now I’m listening to it love this song!!
the nostalgia is strong with this one. i remember this being played on the radio all the time when i was little and my family and i would be driving down the Jersey shore for the weekend.
March of 2021. Anyone else still here listening to this classic song? 💜
2024 who’s here
YOOOO AND SO IS THE 144.000 TO SAVE HUMANITY 😊😊🙏🙏✝️✝️
Hearin' this again reminds me of my dad, he and I don't chat much anymore, but whenever this plays, I picture myself a little kid again sittin' in my dad's truck drivin' around. ^^
When I was a small lad, my mother would play a cassette tap Uncle Kracker every night, and I always thought he was my real uncle.
Amazing memories.
Thank you, Uncle.
2022 still listening to this 🔥
Anybody here besides me?
this used to be me and my mom's song around 10-11 years ago. she passed away in December 2015. listening to this brings me to tears ):
Sure she's chilling in the light place. Hope things are cool.
same man. lost mine July 2015
***** thanks man
First I am VERY sorry for your loss!
This was mine and my mom's song also and she passed away on November 19, 2014 at 6 p.m. She was an AMAZING mom when she wasn't doped up. We got our relationship a lot better and I was the VERY last thing she said was I love you baby girl I love you. I told her I love you mommy
Same this is me and my moms song. It's been like that since I was a baby.
Holy moly, this is first time I've actually listened to the lyrics in this song O.o
RogueNinja16 Aaa
Aaahhgv cv
Heroin addiction actually, listen close.
RogueNinja16
hmm. they were pretty clear to me back then. when i had better hearing
My momma got me into this when I was young an wanna be a baller! She still has good taste to this day. Love you mom❤️
Wow I haven't heard this one in years. I forgot about it and then just now it starts playing after I got done listening to Gimme The Beat Boys, lol!
I heard this for my very first time a few months ago.
I was shocked at how beautiful this song is. Truly fantastic, a masterpiece
Me and my mom would sing this all the time when I was younger. She's gone now and singing this makes me think of the good old days. Love you Mom...
R.I.P.
R.i.p. don't worry mama is safe and happy... stay strong we will all 're unite one God's day. Insallah
She's jamming in Heaven my friend;)
I'm sorry
Rest In Peace
2021 love this song ♥️🥰.when u read this... u have a taste for music!
I usw to jam to the song all the time. I fell to addiction after fighting PTSD from 19yrs of being a firefighter/EMT. After I found out this song was about addiction in rehab 5 yes ago. I could definitely understand why this is about heroin
I remember driving around an this would always came on. My family blared it and sang it in harmony :)
I would dance to this when I was a baby with my grandma.
I was in 3 grade when this came out and so picture a bus of elementary students singing this. It was good times that I truly miss.
79thinline So soothing that when I was 3, I'd be struggling to stay awake and not be lulled to sleep by it. Good times.
I was 1 years old but now I love the song and have been listening to it for about 14 years so basically since it came out I was loving this song
God this brings back memories.
Casimus Prime dude YES! Memories are flooding in like crazy for me. Songs I listened to as a kid
This is 2019 of August who's listening in now

This song is not about heroin. "and swim through your veins like a fish in the sea" is a simile. Love is chemical reaction in the body. And the hormones are in your blood stream. Last time I checked, love is just as addicting. Heroin doesn't tuck you in at night, your lover would. Grow up people. It's not about drugs. Unlike most music, Country music has actual meaning.
Uncle Kracker is a Rock Musician actually.
i hope your right
OK. Then it's about adultery.
Yes it is actually heroin does tuck you in at night most users sleep on their sides to avoid choking on their own vomit
"It takes on a couple of different meanings. I've heard some people think that I'm talking about drugs, or some people think I'm talking about cheating. I guess it's kinda both. I would never want to say anything that would get myself in trouble, being married with a couple of kids. That song is like a dirty picture painted with a pretty brush."
Really, it just depends on your interpretation.
my god I'm only 15 and this makes me feel old. my family watched the animal a while ago and this song came on and we all felt really nostalgic. we herd this all the time when I was little.
So you’re 19 now, how’s that nostalgia?😂
@@winter7531 Haha I just listened to this song after all these years and finally found out what he was singing bout....Ahhh junkie life
I’m loving this comment section.
Yeah.. I’m 25 now and just found out what the song from my childhood was really about.
That nostalgia, man…. I want to be a kid again. 😭🤣
Also, was it pun intended or not when you used the words “animal” and “herd” in the same paragraph or am I delusional? Lol
Wow I never had a dad growing up and this was my comfort song at the age of like 9. I didn't understand the lyrics I just wanted a father figure and his voice was so sweet "ill be the one to tuck you in at night" was all I needed. Fast forward 15 years and I listen again to realize... WOW I had NO IDEA what this song was trying to convey.
A brilliant record by one of the best singers of his time.
This was and always will be mine and my granddads song. He would always sing this and when I started singing, I would sing with him too. And now he's gone, I sing it for us both ❤️
I remember listening to this when I was like, 6. It was my favorite song at the time, and it's still good to come back and listen to it.
I work at a dispensary in California and there’s a lot of different people different ages and races I see everyday, but when I play this song everyone sings a long and has a great vibe (:
Man that's sounds great. I'd much rather have people jam to this than whatever stupid ass music that keeps playing on the radio these days
I've been singing this to my gf since I meet her and she still loves it. I've been singing it to her since July of 2019!
my boyfriend just sent this song to me😂
So you're singing to your girlfriend about heroine?
sweetest guy. 😊😊
My sister got me into this when i was 6 or 7 and here i am today listening to it. It still it brings back great memories
“Can’t turn around and say goodbye.” Tell me how does one say goodbye to their best friend? Drugs may kill you but they will never break your heart! Facts
This song and Tracy Chapman's Fast Car are the two songs with the most catchy and upbeat tune that makes you go "oh this is a lot darker than I first thought"
Im playing old songs for my dad for fathers day 2020
I sang this song at pre school and now everyone says this song reminds them of me...im now 22 and everyone still says it ❤
This song is about a dude fucking a married woman and people say the song reminds them of you? Im not sure that is a compliment..............
man i was like 3 when i heard this and loved it and still do so much nostalgia
Mijn lieve Walther van mij! Ik weet dat ik niemand zo lief voor mij, als jij vind! Daarom ga ik ook nooit weg bij jou. Ik houd wel ontzettend veel van jou!
2024 and still listening to this song and i will listen to it till my dying day
I heard this song the other day, and I still knew every word. Haven't heard it in years! It's one of those songs that sticks in your head
This brings back memory's 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
LIZZIE ❤
I Am A Potato lol 😜😜😜😜😜😜
LDshadowlady Fan it does
In elementary school, we would sing this on the bus going home lol. This was 2002/03
I remember this playing on my ex step dad’s radio while I was in my kiddie pool in the front yard during summer 🥰
2021 Who's Watching?
This song used to make me so happy, I never paid much attention to the lyrics before lol not what I expected
2022?? Anyone?? Still my fave😍😍
I had to show my fiancee this because this was a suggested wedding song when I looked up wedding songs. I'm here to share my laughter from this.
Thos is hands down the best song Uncle Kraker wrote
I rember this when I was 6!!! I’m 20 now 😭
Still here listening to this song and it's just as good as always
Follow Me was one of the very first Uncle Kracker songs I remember hearing when I was younger. I listen to his song Drift Away whenever I am having a really bad day. It seems to help.
2017 and still love this song
Christine Cook who Doesn't?
2018 and I'm still here :p
Yea i love cheery songs about adultery as well.
*2019😅
man the memories that comes with this song 😕😕
I remember so clearly hearing this on the radio growing up...take me back🤧
Here listening to this in 2020. Memories of the good old days
Fuck Covid
My precious husband Sgt1st Class Carl Jenkins introduced me to Mr Kracker I am so glad he did I love his music and you my precious soldier hurry home it’s been 8 very long months and I really miss you
This song is about a guy fucking a married woman. Do you even listen to music or do you just skim through it?
Think He meant this as a sign
Maibuwolf hahhahahaha savage lad
I remember so vividly singing this song in kindergarten in front of my friends. We were sitting at a table and I was singing it and they all just started laughing. I got so embarrassed I was too scared to ever sing again... but that moment and this song reminds me that... no matter the song or the audience, if you're enjoying singing and your happy in the moment, it doesn't matter. I'm glad that day happened, because without it and without this song.... I wouldn't have the confidence to sing out loud ❤
It's about heroin addiction maybe that's why they were laughing haha
I'm here in 2022, I'm 30 and still flowing with this song. Its timeless!
2003-2005 at Parkdale daycare in Norfolk, Virginia. Still remember doing a little performance to this song on the wood platform in the backyard of the "older kids" building. That's a very strong memory. I'm forever going to love this song regardless of what it's about, because ironically it embodies innocence for me. My childhood.
My dad sang this song to me when I was 2 weeks old. It was the first song I heard.
Awww. That’s hella special.
I sing it to my son to help him sleep haha
my little bro, Brandon was brought into the world to this little tune. it was the proudest second of my life.
I know that this is a song about cheating, but the chorus of this song honestly reminds me of God and Jesus Christ. I’m not leaving my faith anytime soon, because I know that at least for me, there’s no one else like God or Christ.
2023 people come onnnn such a banger of a song 🎉
used to sing this with a friend on the school bus back in 5th/6th grade--I still remember how we'd sing it at the top of our lungs when it would come on. :) Now I'm in college and I still love itttt
"This was made in 1974." No. Uncle Kracker was born in 1974, but this song came out in 2001.
SodaBoy628 Lol! I just googled it too. I thought it sounded fishy
Yes
margaret ambriz ok
+Dalton Stone wow
+Dalton Stone when 1974 or 2001 lol
I remember when I was like 10 years old my Bus driver and I used to sing this.
Hard to believe it was 17 years ago.
I won’t ever hurt you..
You’re so scared but I’ll make it alright. I love you Kenny. One day you’ll know you’re my entire world ❤️
???
i love it
I never realized this song had this meaning as a child, I still love it though! #Childhood
Me too, exaclty ALL you say xD
So do I
+티파니 same XD
I Agree👌
+티파니 so true
This song is the story of my life.
Well I'm shocked after I learned the meaning of the song😂
I used to listen to this song before,and I loved it... Never thought it's for the unfaithful ones...
I still listen to this tune, even after all these years. Uncle Kracker has a good voice.
2020 and still listening to this, its so good to my ear, makes me relax.
For a girl named angel looking for an insane nostalgia trip, I remember too. We were like seven and we were listening to this song on repeat for three summers in a row. I love you and miss you❤
This song got me through my foster home stage from age 6 to 16 I don't know why but I'm still here and working on getting my brother out of the system and into living on his own
i loved this song when i was a little kid
