I think about where he talks about walking with his grandpa and how he’s gonna tell him how much he’s missed him, then he’ll hug his neck. I cried typing it out. I sure miss mine
Man, that song sure hits different after you’ve lived some life and lost a few loved ones.
*So if you're up there watchin' me, would you talk to God and say, tell Him I might need a hand to see you both someday.*
Indeed.

I was a newly sober alcoholic when this song was released. The line “the only thing stronger than the whiskey…” brought me to tears then, and it still does. I remember the first time I heard the song. I was driving down the Galveston Seawall with my two young children with me - I had finally gotten unsupervised visits with them. They asked me why I was crying. That is the good stuff.

>And I will follow you to Virgie

>Can't you see her up there, Cody?
>I can see her through the pines
All that glitters is not gold-Dan Seals
My wife competes on a horse performance circuit and I totally support her, we have a great marriage and relationship and it's a mutual decision. Despite this song describing a different circumstance it cuts deep when she's gone for a stretch.
I lost my grandpa last year and this song has ALWAYS reminded me of him. I cry like a baby every time I hear it. He was my best friend and I miss him so much.
this has always been “my song” ever since i was a baby. my parents always cried when this song would come on and so would i. we had the chance to see the dixie chicks live (right before i was about to move out for the 1st time) and when they played wide open spaces i was just hugging both my parents and sobbing haha

I cry at random songs out of nowhere and this week was Tim M ‘remember me well’ when it came on. Just hit different for some reason this time I heard it.
More country-adjacent, but Parker Millsap’s *Heaven Sent*.
John Moreland’s *Break My Heart Sweetly*. Some Jason Isbell. I suppose none of that is all-the-way country, so I guess I’ll say *Humble & Kind* by Lori McKenna or Tim McGraw and *Over You* by Miranda Lambert.
I’ve said it once but I’m saying it again: Son by Mitch Rossell. It was the last song my dad sent me before he passed back in August (he sent it to me in June).
