[@dalefriday5496]

It's actually about RESISTING infidelity, Britt! He is singing about WHY he DID NOT cheat on his wife.

[@donstand2195]

He kissed her so he cheated

[@matthewdooley7855]

Country music is real, and they sing about real things. You can love your spouse, but still be tempted. And sometimes, good people make bad choices. With that steel guitar, this song is about as country as it gets.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

not in this song, but later...... - -A working day too long When everything goes wrong And a boss, who don't know ,I'm alive I once had a notion I'd get that promotion But now, I barely survive A wife too demanding With no understanding Of why, I stay dead on my feet A dimly lit tavern A willing young woman Are some of, the reasons, I cheat

[@PauTay942]

the voice that saved country music in the early 80s.

[@skywarrior00]

Britt, the song is about temptation, not infidelity. The protagonist is tempted to stray but in the end stays true to his wife by being reminded by his ring. We all have temptations in life. It's how we deal with them that shows our character. He stayed true in the end.

[@crystalsmith4919]

Well depending on what you would call infidelity, because in the song it says he was in her arms, kissing her lips, and wanting to be her "loving man"... So at least emotional cheating and if you consider any physical contact with another person cheating then the holding and kissing would count as cheating as well!

[@unrulyjulie4382]

​@Crystal Smith ... very well said...from someone who's been on the other hand. It hurts just as bad.

[@larryg7126]

@@crystalsmith4919 Agreed, that is cheating, period.

[@mwilliams1330]

@@larryg7126 Agreed, seeing things in public might cause a momentary thought...but if that ring means anything you dismiss it right there and remind yourself how grateful, blessed, and thankful you are to have the ONE in your life. I get the song is 'real', but you get that far real you have cheated.

[@brandonhill2183]

Kissing is infidelity in most relationships. So not really

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Hi Britt. This masterpiece was written by the duo of Paul Overstreet and Don Schultz. For another great song from Randy, try either He walked on water or diggin up bones.

This is PRIME Randy Travis. I grew up with this voice playing on the radio of the tractor I was driving.... Some times when I hear those songs again, I can still smell the dirt in the air

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Right on. I used to blast his song 1982.

[@allenwhitmer8192]

@@cynthiachessani6788 Not all do, the old John Deere that I always had to drive didn't, didn't have a cab, just an umbrella to keep the sun off. I brought along an old radio that you could barely hear above the drone of the tractor, and I played whatever rock station the radio would pick up, until I just had to give up and put it on country. Randy Travis was a new artist at the time and I first heard him there, on that old tractor.

[@johnnusz8278]

@@allenwhitmer8192 We used the smaller cabless tractors for mowing and some light hay hauling, but we were working over 3500 acres of wheat (there's 640 is a square mile for those unfamiliar) so we were using larger for the wheat fields. At the end I was driving a John Deere 8970 with like 425 hp.

[@allenwhitmer8192]

@@johnnusz8278 Ours was, I think a 4420, not positive, it pulled a 20 ft Wilbeck disk and sometimes an undercutter with an anhydrous tank. not a bad tractor, grandpa and my uncle got the bigger tractors with the AC cabs and radios, my grandpa never used the radio except for the weather. We only had about 1,500 acres back then and it was usually wheat, some milo. I enjoyed my time on the tractor, it was peaceful. Anyway, my father died when I was 24 and that kind of ended my farming. My uncle inherited everything and his son took over and they bought so much land and have all the newest and biggest equipment. There are so many controls, I wouldn't know what to do in one of those things. My cousin jokes he turns on the key, punches in some numbers and goes to sleep until it's time to go home

Many years ago, I was driving in my pickup truck, and it only had am radio, I was on some back road and trying to find a radio station to come in. Then this dude came on, and I have been a fan of country music ever since.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Although really, he's not singing about cheating so much as about someone who was tempted to but in the end just can't do it. This song was such a huge hit and on the radio all the time and people loved to slow dance to it.

[@richieLuvz]

Forever and Ever Amen, I Told You So, Diggin Up Bones, Deeper Than the Holler, are great by Randy Travis

One of the very best written and sung country songs! Very clever--and moving--word play.

Have you done Randy's "I Told You So" yet? That's the natural part 2 to this song.

[@brittreacts]

I have it up on my channel !😀

I gotta give it up to country music for being able to tell a story about anything - and even better, can twist lyrics to change the way you think the song is about. Thanks for doing this one! Great reaction!

[@jamesholland9314]

Hi Britt, glad you are reviewing Randy Travis, he came along when we needed a traditional country singer in 80s, suggest you review "Its just a matter of time" a song from the late fifties by Brook Benton. Have a great day.

[@jamesholland9314]

I meant to say Randy's version of the song😀

[@joshuacraig6447]

I take the song is about being tempted and almost crossing that line, but then remembers the commitment he made.

[@Rosiepooh75]

Randy's voice is so flexible! One of my favorite songs from him is "13 Mile Goodbye" Randy has had quite an interesting and tumultuous life...

[@halcundiff6886]

That country music, telling a story.

[@jonathanguthridge1768]

Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz wrote this song and it always bugged me because the narrator did cheat on his wife in the second verse. However, if you listen to Paul Overstreet’s version the second verse goes “When you placed your hand on mine, I could feel desire. And when I looked into your eyes, I found myself. And I know with just one kiss, we could start a fire. But that fire would just start burning someone else.” I much prefer that and I’m not sure why Randy Travis and his producer changed it. Either way, great reaction, Britt!!

[@twentyfiveyears5010]

That's so interesting. Songwriting is all about word choice. Sometimes you might modify a lyric to make the idea clearer but this one changes a major point in the song.

[@kathiethompson5211]

I love his voice and his songs are wonderful very country with drums and steel guitar

[@ricksexton8888]

AS an adult Randy Travis is the reason i started listening to country music. The first country album i bought was Randy Travis "old 8x10s" My favorite song by him is "Deeper then a Hollar"

[@dub16100]

This lady needs a tv show. What a personality. I’d watch Britt vs Oprah any day.

[@Uriahjw]

This song just reminds me of a song Elvis sang that's called " It's your baby (you rock it)." Because if cheater can cheat on their spouses or significant other, then they will cheat on the one they are cheating with sooner or later.

[@brianzuspan5116]

In Randy's defense he did get up & leave😂Britt be calling out whomever needs it, Luv it & thank you....

[@pennyyoung3166]

Did you know at the country awards when Randy was just starting out Dolly Parton went in audience and sat in Randy’s lap you could tell he was shy and uncomfortable. Love Randy God Bless him and his wife and may I say with no judgement second wife. His first marriage was with his manager who was a lot older then him I think more than 20 years

Randy is class act I love Ur reaction

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Back in the day I sang like Randy. Then came throat cancer. several surgeries later I do good to talk at all. I've been a huge fan of Randy's since day one. For a good slice of this music I recommend "I thought he walked on water" "The reasons I cheat" "Digging Up Bones" , "Storms of Life"

[@bradleyrobinson7552]

On The Other Hand was the song that brought Randy Travis to the dance. That's the song where most people first heard him on the radio.

I love his song - 1982. Great reaction Brittany

[@brittreacts]

thank you!

[@dannafrench1509]

He's not singing a song about cheating. He's singing a song about being TEMPTED to cheat, but that golden band reminds him that he doesn't have that right, and is the "reason I must go". He's tempted, but he walks away from it and goes home.

[@rik4369]

Great analysis! Many think he was feeling guilty towards his spouse. He felt empathy towards the Ladies husband. He walked away from temptation.

[@riverbankfisher]

So refreshing to see old-school Country music gaining acceptance across cultural barriers. Randy Travis's voice is instantly recognizeable whether singing or speaking in a movie part, as he did a few times. Smooth as molases, fluid, and baritone resonant to stir the soul deep.

[@ronstoner1823]

Randy Travis is one of my favorite country singers. I've worked construction my whole life. In a lot of blue collar trades they won't allow you to wear rings for safety reasons. One of the best quotes I will always remember, “cheaters never prosper". Love your reactions, you always pick some really great songs. KEEP IT UP!!!👍

Britt Randy's voice is quintessential country all the way. He has a large catalog of great songs. You should react to "I thought he walked on water" or "Look heart no hands", "Digging up Bones" and there are many more.

[@brittreacts]

Country Music is 3 Chords and the TRUTH... Truth, you can't break up a HAPPY marriage... Loved your reaction and you have the lyrics...

[@norrislafleur274]

The one thing I think is important to remember is that he was tempted, but he is reminded that he has a bigger, commitment and more important commitment to himself into his wife. He’s human so he’s tempted but thank goodness he reminds himself. He has a bigger commitment to himself and his wife.

[@CarharttCowboy]

The two songwriters who wrote this Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz had a songwriting session and couldn't think of anything to write about when Don said On The Other Had, and Paul said Theres a Golden Band

Woderful! :) Randy's first Numer-One-Single, back in '86. :) He recorded a great duet with George Jones, called "A few old Country Boys", you should check that one out.

The Smothers Brothers show was VERY controversial in the late sixties. They were vocally anti-Vietnam war, and had popular bands and artists who sang anti-war songs like Pete Seeger, who the censors originally wouldn't let play on the show, but they got him back months later to sing Waist Deep in the Big Muddy, with obvious anti-war and anti-President Nixon lyrics. People like Rob Reiner and Steve Martin were writers for the Smothers Brothers, and the show also had a recurring skit called "Share a Little Tea with Goldie", about a cute hippy girl who drinks marijuana-laced tea who always greeted her viewers the same way..."High!" The brothers were fired and their show was cancelled because they bucked the censors and insisted a skit with a mock sermon by comic David Steinberg be included in the show, and when the censors wouldn't allow it, they delivered a show that was several minutes too short. The main joke they didn't allow would pass the censors easily a few years later, and now. E! showed reruns of the CBS show in the 80's.
