I went to prison when my baby was 1 1/2 years old. When I got out she was turning 3. MY baby momma had found another man, but every night locked up I listened to all of the other guys beat their chest and say how they dont care bout nothing, I would cry myself to sleep. Praying when I could hold my baby girl again. The day I got out I went to my baby mommas house and walked in, dropped to my knees and held my arms out. I didnt know how my daughter would react not seeing me in so long. She came up to me. That day I made a promise to myself that I would never take the wrong path again. And I havent. I dont ever want to feel that low again. Being taken away from your children against your will is the lowest you can get.

My son told me I wasn't funny. Lol. They then told me they would be at the Oregon Jamboree that summer. So the second time I saw them they asked me if my son had been able to make it to the Oregon Jamboree. I was impressed~! They are wonderful musicians and after the show both times they mingled with the crowd and signed their photos.

what a song. i raised my son in church, was a great mother. He started running with the wrong people before long i could not keep him out of jail. the last time he called me to get him out of jail i refused, he told me he did not have a mother. He is in prison now but you can never go back in time to change your way of life

God bless Confederate Railroad. Thank you for all your beautiful songs that touched our hearts

[@bigdaddyricc]

One of the best Country band that I've been blessed to open for....Great bunch of guys too! Had the best time hanging out with them all....Genuine and down to earth!!!

[@Mark2756042]

Excellent song. I much preferred Confederate Railroad's slower story songs to their uptempo stuff....and this is definitely the best. Hard to imagine anything this powerful played on country radio today. Kind of surprising it was played back in 1993 to be honest.

What ive learned, you can always go home. You can always make it right. No matter what. Its a choice.

[@boneifiedart]

how true this song is. it's been 30 years now and still wish i could go home.

[@skival]

This song just rips my heart out.

[@GreenRiver72]

The actor who played the father/Grandfather was superb. Great acting really brings out the message of a minimalistic song like this.

You can go back, blood is thicker than water and sometimes all it takes is for someone to say they are sorry...........

[@mistathief9886]

Unless the they pass away and then you dont get that chance. Say you love them,swallow your pride while you still can.

+Flexecutioner Life is short, The Living Years song by Mike and the Mechanics says it all.

[@olddocman]

Theres times when a country song like this one here that can preach a better message than the best prepared Preacher. Aint no decon than can lead better music. Hat's off Confederate Railroad !
