Country music can be a hard thing to categorize...sometimes it's easier to say what it isn't as opposed to what it is. No such issues here. This is country. I asked a musician friend to describe country and his response was "real stories, sung by real people". I can live with that. This is a gorgeous country song.

Total package, excellent singer, song writer, story teller, Beautiful voice....Bravo !

[@zebsouth7734]

Heard this one for the first time today on the 1994 album and was hoping there'd be a live video. Great frickin' song, this is what country music is all about. I'll be listening to everything this guy put out.

[@47RozUFO]

Zeb, what '94 album? He is just like Will Alan Ramsey, could've been a giant but chose to play close to the vest...

[@wudnhed58]

Reminds me so much of both my grandfathers who were farmers in the days before tractors were common. The Greatest Generation.

It was December 2010 My wife and I where on our way home from planning my grandfathers funeral. We were listening to MPR and this song came on. I just couldn't help but break down in tears.

[@cuntrydude1]

[@brooksbrandi19]

[@KLYnn39]

This is a beautiful song. I really like Shawn Camp. He always does great music.

[@deanrenaud5660]

great song! helps get me through the "dark ages" of country music.

[@susanredmon2726]

This is really beautiful. What a voice, sentiment and song!

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

There’s performers and then theres the ones that are a cut above. This man is the real deal 100% and as close to perfection as it gets.

[@guitarvocs]

I heard a feature on Shawn by NPR last night. They ended with the beginning of this song. I had a hard time driving. This is, IMO, the saddest country song ever written, sadder than Gram Parson's "$1000 Wedding." Best of luck to him, and thank God Nashville and the suits finally got something right.

[@lauriekester1311]

guitarvocs agreed

[@RedistaNashville]

Yay--my favorite SC song! So glad it's available on his new CD being released today called, "1994"!

Shawn thank you for the beautiful song. My grandpa would have looked like I remembered him had he been in his blue Bib Overalls. He was and Oil and Gas Well Driller and those were the work clothes most of them wore . Thank you . He has been gone over 40 years but I still miss him ! Is that a 00-28 Martin 12 fret ?

[@countrynuno]

Great!!!

[@runnerofthewoods7774]

Come here once in a while for sustenance

[@sissybug4ever]

Beautiful son there bud. You wrote/sing it well. Patty Loveless sings it well and from the heart.

[@Pickernik]

Oh my.

[@dreamwell2020]

This reminds me of part of the interview Tamara Saviano did with Rodney Crowel after she made her film about Guy Clark. Rodney talks about the negotiation with the gold-digging undertaker who was hoping to sell Guy's friends the premium package. Guy would have been proud.

[@onetobe043397]

Miss you Shawn - you and many of the older talented artists need to ban together and do a REAL NASHVILLE TOUR, tie up the new york business suites and keep them out of site for about a year until you finish the nationwide tour - AND THEN MAYBE WE MAY ALL ENJOY SOME REALLY GOOD COUNTRY MUSIC without being exposed to fake country pop. dana mathews

[@jerryclark9870]

Nice

[@barbarawilkinson5995]

Best version is Patty Loveless...One of the best songwriters ever...Shawn...

[@emexpressllc6110]

Came from his fiancé’s audition in American idol lol 🙋🏻‍♂️👍 anyone else?

[@1rkhall]

I do not like an open casket. This is one of the reasons explained justly in the chorus, Sean. Good on ye.

[@lunaf8440]

This song recorded Joe Diffe. Very nice song, but Joe singing better.

[@grantharris3518]

Diffie singing this is merely karaoke. Not even close.

[@williecarter2717]

Luna F I love Joe Diffe, but his talent is nothing compared to Shawn Camp
