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 !

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.

Love this song Shawn...ya don't hear songs like this on the radio anymore!

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.

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

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.

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

The sound is higher quality than most studio releases these days.

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

great player, singer, storyteller.. fine production, music fog!

This was uploaded on my bday... i feel like it was especially for me... I love and miss you papaw.

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

he is hypnotizing to watch and hear live

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

Great song....good job on vocals!!!

Beautiful

Beautiful, Shawn. I can close my eyes and almost hear you channeling Guy. What a wonderful feeling.

I love this one. Shawn is awesome. I knew him in jr. high! Go Perryville Mustangs!

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

Special... Greetings from IRELAND 😉

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.

STUNNING!

Come here once in a while for sustenance

This song absolutely read my memories. What a great tune and performance. Shawn is awesome!

Yup, the Lord's gonna recognize him just fine, with one big hug! : ))

I enjoyed your song. It makes me proud when I see home grown talent like this.

Don't get any better than Shawn Camp!

What a songwriter- I am impressed

This is a GOOD song!

So very beautiful..So very sad...!

Love it, shawn! thanks mo.

I've heard this on the radio....

Really nice version, thank you, Shawn Camp from a nouveau Appalachi

Great performance, and great song.

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.

Nicely done! Really like your version of this song. Great voice!

Great!!!

great song and performance

Oh my.

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

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

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 ?

Nice

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

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

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

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