Lyrics:
One, Two, Three, Four
It’s been a year
Since I’ve been back to Sarasota, my grandparents are getting older, and if I had to guess
It’s been a year
Since my best friend had her baby girl
Now she’s got a whole new world, and I ain’t even met her yet
I’ve kept my head down grinding
Just looked up and realized it
Damn, it’s been a year?
And I ain’t sayin’ it ain’t been a good one
It’s been a “did a lot more than I thought I could” one
It’s been three hundred sixty five of record lows and record highs
Loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears
For the minute you got, It’s probably a lot, more than you wanna hear
So all I’ll say is, “it’s been a year”
Since I watched him walk on out that door
And I wish I’d fought a little more, still feels like yesterday,
But It’s been a year
And now he’s at her place five nights a week
Yeah that feels kinda quick to me, but I guess it’s been a year
And I ain’t sayin’ it ain’t been a good one
It’s been a “did a lot more than I thought I could” one
It’s been three hundred sixty five of record lows and record highs
Loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears
For the minute you got, It’s probably a lot, more than you wanna hear
So all I’ll say is, “it’s been a year”
Yeah, it’s been a year
Before we raise a glass up to the next one
Looking back it’s damn sure been the best one
So cheers to 365 of record lows and record highs
Loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears
For the minute you got, It’s probably a lot, more than you wanna hear
If you’re hanging around, I can tell you about it, but it might take another beer
‘cause it’s been a year
Yeah it’s been a year

As a military man listening to this, it hits home. I've got a nephew I haven't seen yet, barely seen my niece and she's 4. I'm deployed and have been 4 of the last 5 years so every year I watch everyone's life progress. This one hit home. Happy for everyone and what they've accomplished but damn, feels like I'm stuck watching everyone live life.

[@victoriagunn4034]

[@EmptyCan-xy6wj]

@@OlSgtLove thanks for the words brother. Thank you for your service. 8 more to go for me. I've spent 8/12 deployed so I think I'm gonna call it quits at 20. I'll miss the crew, not the circus. Best friends of my life I've met in the service.

[@16jarus]

Thank you for your service and sacrifice!🫡🇺🇸✌🏻

[@sonjagarcia9180]

Thank you for your service I pray God blesses you and your family abundantly

[@annesfaves9100]

DEFINITELY a stand out among all the female country artists! This song is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ♥️

[@andreazwecker1457]

You are amazing

[@marieecott7124]

Absolutely agree .

[@frankeberhart265]

Very beautiful song! Lost my wife to Cancer three months ago, and this really summed up my last year. She was 46 years old! "Record highs and record low's" what a great line! Good luck to your in your career!

[@leahh.3477]

I am so very sorry for your loss.

[@bryanreilly9111]

Frank, I’m sorry for your loss. My fiancé was diagnosed with ALS in 2017. Didn’t think she would make it past 3 years, next month it’ll be 6 years and she’s still fighting and giving us “record highs and record lows”

[@Packersforthewin1820]

I've had a year of breaking up with my ex girlfriend, got a raise at work, having car problems. But at least I'm still on this planet breathing. I love this song. Found it on tiktok.

[@curtiskovel1104]

Don’t be hard on yourself bro. Take the pain and push yourself in the gym or something you’ve always wanted

[@545g]

Keep running ahead. Times get hard but its where God uses pain to help us to grow.

[@a.v.studios6064]

Don’t worry love we getting through it

[@user-sm6qu2yh4w]

Freaking heartbreaking

[@CookingWithCarlina]

I used this song for my 2022 recap on IG. It sums up perfectly the highs and lows that I had. Thank you for capturing many of our emotions in such a beautifully written song. ❤

[@mariahchill9601]

This song is hitting so hard. I just started focusing on my health and I have been keeping my head down, grinding and I feel bad for missing out on my loved ones 😢💔 but it's been a good one because I'm focusing on me

[@shirlgroves6162]

I feel the same! Congratulations on focusing on you❤️

[@bradjones2480]

Ashley, as a guitarist of 30yrs, this song moved me in a way very few can. Your raw emotion in your sound is magnetic. PLEASE listen to me and never lose those roots! SO many country music stars today succumb to the pressure and become elite snobs that no one enjoys. Maintaining those roots are what will separate you. Keep it real. I just want to hug you and be on team Ashley. It doesn't help that this song was sent to me as I am the "guy they should have fought for"...lol Stay grounded and you will fly!

[@itslifewithstephanieann4663]

It’s been a year … I am so grateful for this song here in Canada’s … I have listened to it on repeat . To help me get ready for the day , to help me summum up the energy to continue raising three amazing sums , to have family and friends in my home , to make advertising content for a business to dealing with a house falling apart and needing Reno’s , to picking up a mangled family pet hit by a truck, all by myself,! and shelter my sons from that view , to establishing making money to keep us afloat to The absolute love of my life ripping apart the life I thought we had , in minutes . And you don’t just “ un love “ someone because they left you , and left you in the biggest kind of way an entire community had to bear witness , and the countless minutes of every hour it took for me to wake up and continue paying the bills , getting a brand new company off the ground, working shifts as a Registered Nurse to pay the bills and invest in my company of one employee ( me) and raise three strong kind gentle sons to be great humans , ya it’s been a year … to make sure life continues when you just want to crawl under a rock, the biggest line in this song for me “ its a did a lot more than I thought I could one” … folks out there .. know this , you can do it … you just get up dress up show up and do it … you cry in every shower in every morning but then you just push it and play this song … and then I looked up and realized that last week , it’s been a year . Since I seen his face , since I had the person who made me laugh harder than anyone , walk out my door and into another and not look back …it’s been a year since I couldn’t take a deep breath, since I watched myself build a company work hard as an RN, continue to raise three strong, kind sons, make sure they had all the love and seen strength and dignity and grace … it’s been a year. This is THE song and honestly pulled me back from all the ledges. It’s true what everyone says folks, it’s time and it’s inner strength and it’s definitely this song … this writer and singer of this song, you’ll have no idea what ledges it’s kept me off and now I listen to it with melancholy and exhale … you did good… one of the most intimate songs for so many folks in loves that get really shuffled sometime! From here in Canada , I love this and you 💗

[@TheKindnessChronicles247]

Wow I’ve never had a song I’ve felt was written for my present life before! I’m speechless and at the same time motivated! I’m a huge fan, thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[@sarahmatthews6842]

My God, I've never cried so hard listening to a song in my life. This has got to be a song so many can relate to. This should be #1

[@vickieeasterday6328]

I feel the same way about it. She's amazing!

[@kevkribc]

[@charitys9651]

It was one year from my Mom passing away on 2/11/2022. It’s been a hard year, many tears and a great void in my heart. You see who your real family is and I lost many of mine. It’s been a year of pushing forward even through darkness and self isolation to just get a grip on reality.

[@sonofasinner86]

Found u on tik tok an WOW amazing song ur voice is one of a kind never stop chasing ur dreams ma,am

[@fightinside376]

Not sure if Ashley reads these comments, but she should. There are some very powerful stories. Great song that relates to more folks than the writers probably could even imagine. Best wishes and God bless!

[@middlifekrisis4168]

i lost my mama in 2022 and when i found this song i found something that summed up one of the hardest years i’ve ever gone through.

[@vlastabarac]

Yup!!! Beat cancer, and im on a weight loss journey. Fighting to keep my marriage together. Life is beautiful, but sometimes its hard

[@shanecunningham2437]

Keep going sister don't give up! Same boat as you on a weight loss journey but also on a personal journey of finding what's right for me and not caring as much about what people think. At the end of the day it's you vs that reflection in the mirror. Keep going keep fighting and stay strong you got this! You beat one thing you sure as hell will beat the weight and keep a strong marriage together. Sending my love thoughts and prayers ❤️

[@sonjagarcia9180]

I am praying for you on your journey.Life is and can be very hard I lost 2 ofmy sons 24 days apart.So this song hits different for me.Praying Goda blessings over your life

[@billymitchell3476]

Ashley is amazing, she is one of 4 I listen to as a new find for me

[@RainePadgham]

Ashley, it's been one heck of a year for me. I started from leaving my home of 11 years because of some unpleasant circumstances caused by the ecology of the society in that house. Then being in the hospital and a crisis housing situation for close to a year just to get better, heal myself, no longer suffer from the same crisis, to survive what I went through, just to get into a whole new situation. That's life . And yes, that's one heck of a year for all of us

[@jennifersummerford288]

I lost my momma a year ago today 💔 this song hits so hard 💔 😢 lost my mamma in January but still got married in march and had my baby boy in October that I've been trying to have for 8 years. It's definitely been a year

[@davidholton9667]

How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.

[@stever5066]

Came across this song on Instagram, what a perfect song to describe this year.

[@jeswithones2023]

This song describes my first year adulthood. I turn 19 next week. 365 record lows and record highs wascery relatable

[@RafaelNguyenAlvarez12]

Time is important for us. Spend it with the ones you love. New to this artist.

My grandparents spent 20+ years in Sarasota for winter for years, in 2002 I hugged my grandpa and I had a feeling when he left Iowa to go to Sarasota I wouldn’t see him again, he died in January of 2003 I never got to say goodbye 😢

[@mollyweinfeld8270]

I really don’t know how this hasn’t hit a million video streams I love this song

[@midwestavenue]

It should be 10 million! An absolute smash hit of a song, one of my absolute favorite! Came back tonight to listen again and was basically going to comment something similar and then saw yours! You nailed it right on the head! Blow this dang song up!

[@johannesjbotha3870]

Hey Ashley. I 'discovered' you only a month or so ago on IG. I didn't do much following of your music for a while until a couple weeks ago. Now I'm so hooked I can barely put my phone down. It's amazing how well you have been doing and the tours, the sold out concerts, the stars you have been meeting. I'm not an American so my chances of every getting to go to one of your concerts are negligible. I've been a Country fan like forever and still listen to and watch many of my favorites from days gone by. But I'm always watching social media for new talent. There are several but by far you top that list. Some of your songs really hit home and I can relate to them. Well done young lady. Wishing you only the very best for the future. Your star 🌟 is shining bright.

[@tomkohlman8110]

She's a great storyteller. Love her voice

[@natesmith4669]

[@EJDPPOPMedia]

This song is so beautiful!

[@Barefootforestwanderer]

It’s been a year for me getting everything I lost back after a horrible decision that took almost everything from me. I’m still working on it happily, ALONE. I’m looking forward with excitement to whatever time I have left. I have always persevered and will continue…. To everyone here just remember, every day above grounds a good day, and a chance for a fresh start.❤

[@user-xv6um2tu9u]

Heard this song at a concert awesome song

[@dylanhogan9353]

This REALLY reminds me of Luke Bryan’s “Drink a Beer” where he’s talking about his siblings who passed away, the raw emotion, and vivid imagery being painted without saying much at all, says a lot about who Ashley is as an artist, INCREDIBLE song! Keep up the great work!

[@marcellixxx]

Well she made reference 😀 to beer 🍻 LoL
