#1
This song debuted 03/23/2002, spent 32 weeks on the country charts & claimed #1; it was his 1st Top 10 hit, behind 4 prior releases, only 2 of which had cracked the Top 15. This single crossed over & reached #28 on the Billboard Hot 100. His follow-up release, 2002-3’s “Family Tree”, stalled at #26 on the country charts. This is 1 of those songs that speak to you, even if you don’t identify 100% with the lyrics….
