No pyrotechnics, no shaking what your momma gave you, just pure acoustic country. Love it!

To my uncle, George Trent, who went to, and thankfully returned from Vietnam, Thank you for you service.

Always brings a tear to my eye. A tribute to our soldiers.

My daughter was raised on real country music, before this country pop came along. Private Malone was and still is one of her favorites. She drove my old Chevy truck all through high school, and the radio was always tuned to a country station.

The look on Ray Stevens face is awesome. You can see how much he enjoys the song.

Nice music . Thank you 🙏❤️🇺🇸👍

One of the best songs ever written and sung by a very good classic country singer David Ball.

Somehow I never make it through the song without a tear in my eyes......one of the best country songs......

I'm crying as I type this. People nowadays don't understand or can't comprehend the meaning of these songs. I'm obsessed with the military and wanting to make a difference and fight for our wonderful and magnificent country, but something always pulls me back. Maybe in a past life I was a military man. Idk, but it's always nice to listen to patriotic songs.

Too many of us went and too many didn’t come back but too many came back with too much damage physically, mentally.

I can remember sitting at the bar drinking a beer at Texas Cattle Company in Macon, Ga back in 1994 and in walks David Ball with an acoustic guitar, a guy with a stand up bass, and another guy with a snare drum. Without delay, they started playing "Thinkin Problem" which apparently had just been released. I believe they were in town to play a show. It was truly phenomenal and I couldn't get over just how talented this guy was. I still love his voice.

That performance was impeccable and maybe even better than the studio version.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song. It stunned me. It was 4:30 am and I was Alone. Being a wounded combat Vietnam vet it brought back so many memories of years ago. I had tears running down my face for ten minutes. I could see the faces of the friends I lost. It still chokes me up.

I missed Nam by months. I always have tears when I hear this song. Only song that hits me this way. " If you're reading this, I didn't make it home".Gets me everytime.

David Ball and Mo Pitney - the two best songwriters in the history of country music.

Watching in 2018... Seeing a few faces that have left this world in the background of this iconic song!

A lot of people are really missing out ! This is by far the best video of this song that was ever made. Complete with story. David has just gotten better with the years. To me, this is better than the original video of this song !! Thanks for posting.

Listening to this in 2020 and this song still gives me a little chill

I am a Marine Corps vet from the 80's and this song makes me cry like a school girl.

My dad fought in tail end of WWII at 16 years!! Fought all of Korean War, and beginning of the Vietnam War! So proud, Purple Heart recipient. Never talked about it, I found out most of it after his death. Died with some shrapnel still in his belly from Korea. God bless our troops, who my All State football 🏈 son is now proudly a member of US Army!! God bless the USA

Thank you, David, for this contribution to our servicemen & women! This song has great meaning to our Brothers in arms! We owe them so much for fighting for our freedom so we don't have to fight them here at home! 2nd, 36th Inf, 3 A. D.TTK

David Ball is pure country. hard to find these days.

what a beautiful song...Thank you Mr ball for this contribution.

I truly love the song Private Melon it reminds me of my brother who took his life because he thought that he was a burden to the Family him taking his own life 💔 truly distroyed our family I truly wish that he was still with us ! Thanks for making the song

Beautiful song, music brings us back to different times in our lives. My brother Robert was in Vietnam at that time, many blessings to all those who served this great country!

Awesome song provided to us by some awesome songwriters and an awesome singer!

how can 85 people not love this

One of my very favorite songs ever! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

I'm from that time. this song always makes me tear up... and I'm not ashamed either.

If that song dont move you. There aint one that will. Very underated. Great job david..

For me this songs a classic !! GOD rest all those Vietnam men and women vets.Thank you BUCK APPEL for making it back home!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA

Highly underrated song

DAVID BALL BLOWS ALL NEW TALENT AWAY!!!!!100XXXX.....

Make your eyes water up and feel so proud of American people. We honor our service men and women thru song. Celebrate them.

Once that cadance starts I always get the chills as well as tear up. I love my fellow big brother's all Nam vets.

Emotional beautiful heartfelt song - God Bless America !

Now I understand why it hits home harder. My dad served in Vietnam and he liked when this song came on ❤

Great great song really sung well 💕💋great tribute 🥀god bless America amen 🇺🇸🚘

Linda Davis is still absolutely STUNNING!! Wow!! And David sounds great!!

Such a great song. I remember when this one came out. David Ball has a great voice.

This song really touched my heart. I had a brother in law who was in the Vietnam War and survived. But he was killed less than a block from home by an 18 year old boy who ran a traffic light. The boy didn't have a scratch on him but he killed Pete. July 13 1978. And it still hurts today. He left behind 2 little girls.

My wife and i got married Nov 10 2001, we drove from North Carolina to Niagra Falls for our honeymoon. Just about the time they were playing this song all the time on the radio. So while this song is awesome by itself but it reminds me of the great American honeymoon roadtrip ever.

So powerful. I was touched by that.

Great musician an to are men an woman in uniform thank you for your service god bless you all U.S.A

Goose bumps every time I hear this song. 👍🏽

This song is sooo moving. It reminds me of the old urban legend of the man buying a Veteran's Corvette. It also was released around the time that my uncle a Korean War veteran passed away.

There is only one other time I can remember hearing this song, and up to now did not know who sang it, I m going to get it soon. David Ball reminds me a lot like Mr. Geoge Strait, kind looks like him too.!!!

I love to hear Wood Newton sing his song at the Flora-Bama during the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival (FBISF). He may not have the backup band and singers, but he too is awesome!

Wow! I never head this song. I had a 67 red corvette and I can relate to the soldier when he wrote that note. I had to sell mine when my son was born because 2 adults, a baby and a dog just wouldn't fit. I loved cruising down I-80 after work with the top down at a time when the speed limit was 80. Now at 73 I drive a RED Ford Escape. What a come down.
