I was in third grade when my dad brought this album home. I hated hearing the song because I always start to cry. It took me a few years to be able to deal with the pain I felt, listening to it.
This song always makes me cry. It means so much, not just to army families, but to anyono who has lost someone. I agree however, that Top of the World should be on here too, as well as Heartbreak Town, off of Fly.
This is a good one. But I think the Chicks' "Top Of The World" gets me even more, about the dead man regretting his life, now that it is too late.

And I've also heard him say to folks at his shows that one of his biggest thrills was being at a Chicks' concert and hearing 20,000 people sing along to it. I don't think Bruce minds one bit that the DC expanded the audience for this beautifully tragic song. And before folks went all loopy about innocuous comments, uttered by many Texans long before and many times since, this version was a #1 hit, something that didn't happen with any other recording of Bruce's fantastic song.

But lets get one thing straight, This song was written and performed 5 years earlier by Charlie Robison. I hate that the Dixie Chicks are getting credit for this with no mention of the man who penned this beautiful song. That's sad.
