Joe Nichols - The Shape I'm In

[@mrlg7552]

Don't got to be a veteran to relate to the song, hats off to those that serve, much respect, same respect to those who face their demons everyday, gotta show up to make it through.

[@martinmccoskeyjr.5349]

Im a navy veteran of the Gulf war and I experienced life as it was. Get up and do my job or don't and loose everything. That's every person that walks through this life. So if you can enjoy the small things and get through tuff times then you are doing alright!

[@martinmccoskeyjr.5349]

😅

[@martinmccoskeyjr.5349]

I’m not putting down any person who gets up and does the deal everyday I’m just putting emphasis on the common bond the military personnel have. Hats off to ANYONE That doesn’t give up!!

[@brendaokuda2158]

I lost my Dad in Vietnam when I was 18 months old. I have so much love & respect for all our service men (& women) who served & sacrificed. If any of you are reading this, thank you so much for your sacrifices....of which I know you've made countless. May GOD bless each & every one of you over & over again. Much love & respect from East Texas 💖 And thank you, Joe Nichols, for bringing more awareness 💖

[@ethanreynolds7892]

I'M DOING GOOD FOR THE SHAPE I'M IN.

[@mattt5228]

Thank you for this song sir. You stood for our great country, fighting for the safety of all of us. You did a wonderful job and continue to. I may not be in your shoes. But all the lyrics in your song. Like looking up in the sky and crying saying "Thank you for 1 more day." Patting myself on the back, each time I have a little win. It's the little things. Just like you sing... I'm doin alright for the shape I'm in!

[@bgcountry215]

His book Lone Survivor is outstanding it really shows the bond the we have in the military and shows the lengths we will go for our buddy's, teammates, and brothers if you have not read it I strongly suggest it this man did some amazing things in afghanistan and for this country and we should all learn for him and the selflessness he has shown along with the rest of the men in this video

[@srschumpert]

My bro in law is on his 6th deployment in the middle east. Anybody that has that much dedication is a hero. Hr is the inspiration that pushes me. If hr can do that, love my sister, and come home safe every time, I cam do anything.

It seems the older I get, the more I'm affected by our military. Just seeing Marcus gave me goose bumps. Lone Survivor was an amazing book. Well worth the read. God bless the men and women who serve.

[@thatguy1522]

I know this is a song about vets and all respect. But as an adult today that came from poverty violence and addiction I feel this and it has been my feel-good song for years.

[@paparay01]

I lost a hell of lot of friends. But I'm doing all right for the shape I'm in. Life is what it is, but if you work hard you can make it better. Your friends would want you to. At least that is what they tell me in my dreams...that used to be nightmares, but now are comforting...and they love my two sweet grand daughters and so do I, they are my reason for living.

[@jmo3673]

To all the men and women and their families who serve, have served and have given the ultimate sacrifice of life. A simple “Thank You” doesn’t come close to enough to express the gratitude and respect and love I have for you. Life is all about choices and because of your dedication and commitment and service, as an American, I’m allowed and privileged to have them. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!

[@truelymebe]

You know if you love something strongly enough you will fight to keep it, I thank all those men and women who loved freedom and fought for me in world war 2. My world would be a very different world if it wasn't for them and I remember them every year. And the service men and women today deserve our respect because if we didn't have people prepared to do what they do our world would be very different. Thank you Joe for remembering.

I came here looking for this song to listen to it so I could learn to sing and play it... the song means a lot to me..I lost a good woman..Im barely getting by, not because of her, but just as a single parent and dealing with a still very harsh economy..I had to sell my old fastback mustang to keep a roof over mine and my sons head but I still remember the mornings taking it out for a spin. Somehow Im doin alright. I cried watching this video, thank you US troops for our freedom, come home safe.
