[@WJLerch]

This song hits home for me....I Was a teenager who lived life like hell and ran away but after ending up in jail, i changed and then I started running back to my family after I was released... I came home a new man

[@scottthomas5189]

Wasn’t planning on crying in the car, but here I am

[@kimberlyclark5132]

Everytime I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes,I guess because in my drug addiction I can relate. My son was shot in the head in September 2019 he was 19 for 8 days. This song has so much feeling & meaning to me in my life. Fly with the Angels Dakota (Kody) Racey 8/2000- 9/2019 Forever Loved & Never Forgotten

This is the life I use to have... my beautiful Mom that's now in heaven knew I was going down the wrong road and finally stood up and said stop or I'm done... well nothing comes between a SON and His Momma... I spent the next 5 years being with her and held her hand the last time as she passed.... Love you Mom

Once again Brantley you have found another way to reach out to me swear you sing about me sometimes thank you for everything you've got me through

[@lorrlecarrolli9029]

I love all his music. I feel he doesn't get the recognition he deserves from the MAC. His gospel are my favorite. Keep it going Brantley, we love you

[@haroldwilliams2828]

This sounds so much like me when I was younger MAN!!! Brantley you are the best brother. don't never stop god bless you

[@ridNrimZ]

great song. it really hits home and makes you take a step back and think about what you have done in your life

[@jakeshowalter5819]

Amen

[@SM-yk4jk]

I'm a HUGE fan of Brantley Gilbert. I have all his albums, seen him numerous times live, in the pit, right up against the stage. He's an amazing artist that doesn't get the recognition that he deserves. He wrote this song when he was 17 years old and he said that out of all the song's he's written this one is his favorite. I love all his music. I was listening to him before he became big. I'm also a country singer/songwriter. I'm a year older than BG. I'm not even close to being famous like him but I'm proud of what I've done in life with my music and performing and I still write songs, cover songs and still perform. I can relate to so many of his songs and have actually covered a few of them. #BGNation

[@aarondebeaumont438]

was my husbands favorite song and singer he took his life 2 years ago so I always listen to Brantley Gilbert makes me feel like my love is still with me

[@bblack9886]

Aaron deBeaumont I'm sorry to hear that, his music has helped saved me from myself. I'm glad something good has come out of the music as it does for me. As I type this I just dealt with an attempt myself. I just couldn't help but relate to you. Thank you for sharing.

[@williamshaw5142]

Aaron deBeaumont been there. sorry for your loss

[@TravisRenegade]

Aaron deBeaumont I'm sorry for your loss I've been there I lost my dad in 2015 11/10 I was 14 now 16 and I still miss him this kind of music helps me to cope I know it's not really the same but I'm rooting for you you're a champ

[@barbaracomeaux6000]

[@loriduhaime9583]

[@carissabuckland5533]

amazing song damn good story behind it

[@juniordove1832]

This song reminds me of my life right now

[@anthonylinker7277]

This song got me through a 1 year Christian program. Jesus Saves 6 years clean dec 28th

[@shainecox8914]

That song is amazing. It describes my life to a T. At one point and time in my life I was that prodigal son. I ran from life and my problems and turned to drugs and alcohol. But thank God I made a major change in my life. And I changed my ways of living and finally came back to my hometown and got things right with my Moma. And thank God I have been clean of drugs and alcohol for almost 3 years now. And now I have an amazing woman on my life now thank God.

[@debraphillips8921]

Absolutely beautiful lyrics and music.... there is always redemption...

[@mikebeaver3276]

Damn he can write a song

[@kp4993]

This makes me think about my dad that passed away

[@Jokerbierman66]

I'm 23 and use to be on drug and drank very heavy since I was 17. At the age of 19 I got arrested and turned 21 in jail. The day I got out my mom and dad picked me up and had my cds in the car and this song was playing and my mom creed that Sunday went to church and read the story and she started to cry.

[@KaraM-tv7ye]

Such a great story! God's love is truly bigger than any mistake we make!

[@brandythomas9413]

It's y'all not yaw. Haha. This song is amazing.

[@jessyc1998]

Good thing with Him,,,He does not refuse any...any time is good time..praise the Lord..

[@modernprodigalson7612]

Takes a lot of guts to ask for help from anybody let alone your parents. I'm hoping some day I will build up the courage to open up to my parents and ask them to help me.

[@williamshaw5142]

This song really hits my heart in a way that is hard to explain but it is the best song by BG that I have ever heard. Thanks BG

[@sherylblanchard201]

Wish my son could get to this point before i am gone. He has a son and i have COPD very bad on oxygen 24/7 and want my son with me but as long as he refuses help I cant have him with me. It hurts so bad my first born and I am not going to be here forever so I pray God turns hom around before it is to late for me to see it.

[@zstopper1]

[@nicolecrouch7900]

You aren't alone sweety. Jesus walks with you. He will hold you so tight and rock you to sleep, just ask him. He will send a forever friend to you and give you comfort. I pray that your lonelyness will disappear.

[@tashunkawitco8484]

I hope you all hear from your son I lost my mother 8 years ago it's no fun looking back on all the pain I brought her all the wasted time because Angry Young Man was to selfish to think of anyone but himself. I pray for your son nothing could make amends and make things right before it is too late to do so regret is a terrible thing to live with

[@johnnysnapper1908]

Turned 21 a month ago. 2 months ago I put my car in a ditch, went upside down. Not only am I about to lose my license, but I lost the girl of my dreams because of how much the setbacks in my life distracted me. The only things I've ever had to make my life easier is the Bible and a bottle. This emptiness is real.

[@KaraM-tv7ye]

The Prodigal Son is a story told by Jesus in the Bible. Jesus tells this story to help people better understand how great God's love truly is. Basically, there's a dad and 2 sons. The younger asks for his inheritance (which a younger son usually didn't even get, so this tells you that the dad was especially loving). The father gives it to him, and the son leaves and ends up spending all his money on bad things. He has to get a job feeding the pigs (this was like the lowest of the low because pigs were considered unclean during that time). He was even desperate enough that Jesus said he would have gladly ate the pig slop. Finally, he came to his senses, and he thought, "My father's servants are fed more than they need and well taken care of. I'll go back home and tell him that I'm not worthy to be his son, but please make me a servant of his," so as he was going back home, his dad met him and gave him a great big hug! He told his dad that he had done wrongly, and he asked to be on of his servants, but his dad told his servants to bring him the best robe to put on his son, and they had a feast! His older brother was mad because he never got a feast and he had been loyal to the dad, but his dad told him that he had always been with him and all he had was also the son's. He said that they should be happy because his son was lost, but now he was found. God rejoices even more when we turn from our ways and ask His son to be our Savior & live in our hearts! He will take us back in a second if we've done wrong & are His child because He loves us. He forgives us of our wrongs& loves us!!!

[@jackiemurrell1193]

great song
