You should watch the official music video to see what happened to the girl

[@codypilgrim1949]

I am a grown ass man and I STILL can not listen to this song without crying like a baby.

[@mjkjelland13]

yep

[@curtiswilson3569]

Same

[@Armadaonion]

Fucking balling my eyes out by the end of the second verse, listneing to him give a synopsis update, knowing whats coming. If this song doesn't move you, you are some kind of monster.

[@cody2oo]

Another Cody here. Can confirm can not listen to this without getting tears going.

[@reluctentninja]

Yep same here, tears are flowing now.

[@thebrhinocerous]

This is a musically beautiful version of this song, but as others I'm sure have said, you should watch the video, because at the very end, we get to realize that "the girl" survives, and it shows the three of them out on the fishing trip mentioned in the very last line. But yeah, I can't get through the video EVER without tearing up.

[@pamhorne5514]

We didn't have cable in my house in 1993 or 1994 when this song came out. I was so broken hearted because I never saw the video until several years later. Still makes me cry. 😭

[@cmbells7736]

Video sounds kinda lame should of killed one of them off to show loss, in my opinion

[@jbs2763]

@@pamhorne5514 not sure if I’ve ever seen the official video now that I think about it, had this on cassette in my high school pickup but never had cable growing up

[@Auntee-Sara]

Agree!

[@thomashan4963]

The song itself let you choose your own ending even though the video gives you a happy one, and I find that beautiful

[@craigmartin6859]

My dad wrote this song. I always love watching reactions to people hearing for the first time. Sadly he passed 2 years ago July

[@scottcarr8738]

@Craig Morton Condolences, I imagine it's rote by now but know my heart is with You. The C&W genre generally, to my experience, doesn't treat writers half as well as they oughtta. 🙏🏻⚘️⚘️

[@kainassesdad]

Wow! That is awesome, your dad was a seriously talented writer. I'm sorry for your loss, Craig, but we can forever be grateful for the many blessings he bestowed upon us through his works and words!

[@punkydoodle4774]

Sorry for your loss, Craig. Your dad will live on in the songs he wrote. Especially this one, it makes me cry everytime!

[@wonderweasle2212]

Lol. Cool story bro

[@skipwilliam5639]

Im 57 years old and this song still makes me cry

[@krystalh21]

This song is what turned me into a fan of country music. Tim McGraw: Live like you are dying is another great song

[@boomer63]

Me too! Sometime back in 1994 or 95, I saw this video and cried. Literally cried with tears streaming down my face. From then on, I began listening to the country music stations in hopes of hearing it again. My how times have changed! There was no youtube back then lol Another song I enjoyed was Chattahoochee by Alan Jackson.

[@patriciaf2766]

This song never fails to make me cry. I almost died having my first baby and I saw that pain and pleading on my husband face. I was prepared to die for our baby and he was willing to give everything to save us both.

[@chriswilliams8902]

Dad of two girls and a wife of 21 yrs this song rips me up every time.

[@TheSksexton]

I can't begin to count how many times I've heard this song, but never this arrangement. It's almost a new experience.

[@GATMAN_YT]

This song makes me cry almost every time man

[@samf.6298]

I have never heard this version before, only the original recording. Loved it then but wow, this is a much softer, not so twangy, more beautiful edition! Thank you for reacting to this and introducing me to it. Tim is so talented and has such a strong collection of music from across the years.

[@jerrycoe765]

That song is country. It's a ballad that tells a story. These are the type songs that draw real country music fans and their fans follow for a life time

[@lillianbuckingham4529]

I cry literally every single time I hear Don't Take The Girl, this was no exception. Glad you liked it.

[@stupidsminkle]

I'd forgotten how emotional this song was lyrically and he sang it with equally as much emotion and passion.

[@SpyderWebbedHawk]

I always love a song where the chorus hardly changes but because of the story in the lyrics being told the meaning changes immensely. Some other songs like this are "Thunder Rolls (which if you can do, get the long version with the third verse please!)" by Garth Brooks, "There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney, "Even Though I'm Leaving" by Luke Combs, "How Can I Help You To Say Goodbye" by Patty Loveless, "Message In A Bottle" by The Police & "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Nancy Sinatra

[@CubeGodd]

I instantly thought of Chesney's "There Goes My Life" for him to watch next. Amazing same kind of format but totally different story.

[@kalebtlt1630]

[@kalemorrow2243]

@@CubeGodd I tear up every time I hear this song ❤️

[@reneebush2399]

I gotta add “Ol’ Red” for a good country lyric musical motif. It’s not as prime of an example, but the lyric “Ol’ Red’s itching to have a little fun” definitely changes meaning as the song goes on. Lol.

[@freewave04]

“Love Me” by Colin Raye

[@FluffyMcFluffavicMeowskiOFluff]

I've heard this song a million times and I'm always in tears within 5 seconds of it starting.... what a song!

[@klmartini906]

You need to react to he didn’t have to be by Brad Paisley that’s another absolutely beautiful country song

[@brittramsey9089]

Bro I can count on one hand how many times I've cried since I've been an adult. That said, hearing this song for the first time when I was 24, was possibly the most memorable lol. Damn song got me good.

[@Dust_Bin_Gaming]

The video for it hits even harder. More so, cause in the end (from what I remember, it's been a decade at least since i last watched it), when he repeats the intro the father at that point has the same colored hair as the Johnny we're following, and the 'new' young Johnny has different hair color, and different outfits.

[@dhart1496]

yes, but you see a woman with them-implying the 'girl' lives.

[@cripplious]

@@dhart1496 I always saw it as a new little friend for Johnny JR

[@danielmcpherson577]

Also in the end mommy is walking johnny to go fishing with his daddy.

[@godlovessara]

This song is when I fell in love with country music (and Tim!) Mad respect for him and his art

[@lefty3141591]

From Tim McGraw I'd suggest "Just To See You Smile" I'd also suggest "The Man He Didn't Have To Be" by Brad Paisley. It is another thoughtful ballad. Great reaction.

[@TheBooey1650]

OMG. Chills and crying. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Great reaction from you. Thanks,

[@paulransdell]

I've heard this song a hundred times. Still brought me to tears watching you react to it.

My goodness! I'm crying already and were not even half way through. I agree with you MrLBoyd. This song is beautiful

At the end of the song, Johnny is the baby that was born :) his mother survived. You'd see that if you watched the original music video ♥

Some of my favorite Tim McGraw songs are My Little Girl, Live Like you Were Dying, and I Like it I Love it.

Knowing the song well with scenes from the video playing out and knowing where the story goes the tears start to flow...every time.😢😭

[@WTFDad]

from Tim... Indian outlaw, or "something like that"... from garth brooks, papa loved momma... and another favorite, John Anderson Seminole Wind

[@TheChick24]

One of the best country songs ever tbh, can't hear it without crying 😢 Tim Mcgraw has tons of great songs that will make you feel emotional!

You should do "standing outside the fire" by Garth Brooks but you have to watch the official video because it tells a completely different story than you picture from just the lyrics

[@Rosiepooh75]

In the video she survives in the end, bit if you just listen to the song it does feel certain she passed. Tim chooses the most incredible songs and delivers them as if he wrote them. Amazing reaction 💗 He has soany great songs, but one that makes me feel young is Seventeen. Not too deep, but really fun. Live Like You Were Dying is a song that I absolutely love, and am working on learning from...

[@nikkie5912]

Love this song and your reaction

[@lesliecuen2770]

I saw him perform that song live just after his little one was born he came out from backstage with his baby in his arms saying please don't take the girl now that was heart-wrenching

[@steviej-IRL]

Love this song.

[@joshuahalliday1589]

Live like you were dying is a must listen. Also very emotional

[@denwater7874]

"My best friend " another good one. This one gets me because it goes through the life progression of how we value our deepest relationships. From being young and just wanting to hang with the boys, to caring enough to give up our worldly goods. To finally willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for this person who you value more than your own life.

[@ashleyshepard6032]

Beautiful!!

Definitely a country music twist and play on words! Love this song! 😊

[@rebeccaanderson8305]

I saw Tim in concert he sounds awesome live.

[@natashadahlgren632]

No matter how many times I've heard this song.. it still hits hard and makes me cry everytime. The emotion ❤

[@SaraDoenges]

I have been a fan of Tim McGraw since he was the highlighted "new artist" at the CMAs. When I got married, and we had our second baby in our 20's, I also almost died in childbirth, and didn't realize what my husband went through until this came on the radio and he couldn't listen to it. Also, years later, my husband got cancer, very young, and that year "Live like you were dying" was a top song ...... now we are creeping up on 20 years, and "the rest of our life" is our song. I just love every song he does.

[@donwilburn2470]

That flustered look on your face says it all. Hid song " my old friend" is a great tune also

this was my first ever favorite song when I was 6 or 7. I didn't totally get it, but I fell in love with it when I heard it on the radio and it's still one of the few country songs I'll never turn off when it comes on

[@bjornronaldson6017]

This was the music my mother and stepfather played while I was growing up. I love this song, it is beautiful and deeply touching. It's meaning changed for me when I was sixteen and accidentally got my girlfriend pregnant. She miss carried in the begin of the second trimester. It ended our relationship and changed this song for me. I listened to it over and over months. I still can't listen to it without crying and that was twenty odd years and a life time ago.

[@wickedmojoe5653]

I recently saw Timmy here in St. Louis the day before his birthday. While I wouldn’t consider myself a huge country fan I’ve always enjoyed all music from this time period Having grown up in the 80s. It’s not just his music it’s his persona it’s his charisma. I’ve been to a lot of concerts and I now chalk this down to one of the best I’ve ever seen. The crowd interaction alone. The way he talk to people and made them feel welcome even when they were at the back of the lawn. I saw him the day before his birthday. Every band traveling with him obviously loves them to we sang in unison happy birthday to Tim. It’s an experience I don’t think I’ll ever forget. And to top it off his wife Faith showed up at the end. I realize now that country music is all about the story it tells. And he is one hell of a storyteller. And person. It’s kind of like Alan Jackson said I’ve gone country. But I still love my rock ‘n’ roll!

[@Kumoii]

Grew up listening to Country when I was a kid to my early teens. Wasn't until 5th/6th grade that I basically stopped listening to it. THIS song, always makes me tear up. Concrete Angel is also another one. Two of the most remunerable songs for me.
