As a young recording engineer in Nashville, I knew and worked with Mark back in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. His songs have always touched me in ways that no others have. A rare and special talent then and now. - e.j. walsh
HAHAHA LMFAO. This isn't real country anymore than Tim Mcgraw. Country music died after the outlaws started fading out, Johnny Paycheck, and Merle Haggard would laugh at this comment
"If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, it was never yours to begin with." -- Anon. Thanks for posting my all-times favorite country song. Feeling just as emotional today as in the early Nineties, when it was my solace and comfort.
It says the first cut is the deepest. It is! I was listening non-stop to this song in 1991 on a tape recorder while crying my eyes out over the loss of my first love. Never saw her again ever since, and I wish life had been kind to her. But even today, this song still sends shivers down my spine.
It's a different take on the old saying: If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they're your's. If they don't come back, then they never were your's the first place.
i let her go and im in total misery have been since that rainy july night 12 yrs ago... i only let her go because i thought i was doing her a favor.. she was the most beautiful thing that'll ever look at me twice and i really thought i wasnt good enough for her.. i broke her heart and was too dumb to know.. i am haunted and my love is all spent.. i know ill never love like that again.. i also know that i was so wrong.. being that these feelings are this strong still i could've damn well become the man i thought she deserved.. jamie im sorry and hope you're happy... truth is ill never let you go...
mark is a REAL good ole boy. Lives a hoot n holler down the road in Waynesboro Tn. a crazy lil town......He ain''t a bad actor either and also I think he's coming out with a new cd next month or so. ; )
I keep holding on to a girl friend, make long storie short she left without reason and i did something that did not help by not letting go i still think deeply of this women when she left in march 16th 1989 by April 7th 1989 i messed up ! And knew it would be over she is long gone and i still think of how i could ever be so lost without her im still single and Hope she is happy and has what she deserves Love i did love her guess showed it in the wrong way !!! HAPPY NEW YEAR MAY HER MEMORY FADE !
Saw Mark in Ft. Wayne In. He was on tour with Travis Tritt. He said he was gonna clean his clock before the tour was over. Pulled out my wallet and gave him a $20 bill to smack him for me. A few years later I ran into him at Tootsies and asked if he remembered. He did and liked fell off the stool laughing. Bought us a couple of beers and had some great laughs. He’s such a great down to earth guy.
I' ve let my wonderful wife of 47 years go. That s why I still got the best thing that ever happened in my life, But, then again, she did the same to me while I pursued my musical dream. But, that s another story.
@TheEhKay47Ricochet I love that scene...when I first watched the movie I never knew Ballistic Knives existed...so I thought it was the coolest reversal of powers in that kind of situation :P
When you hear those high heels sa'shay across that " LET HER GO ". tO THE GIRL WHO THINKS SHE LOOKS THE BEST ON THE SCREEN AND YOU aint, no breath wasted on you anymore. You have a body that should be in " HUSTLER " KELLY C. Your not half that !!!!!

love Mark Collie, one of my FAV Country singers from the 80's, shame he doesn't sing anymore... miss his voice...
I've always loved this song. Truer words were never spoken ...
It says the first cut is the deepest. It is! I was listening non-stop to this song in 1991 on a tape recorder while crying my eyes out over the loss of my first love. Never saw her again ever since, and I wish life had been kind to her. But even today, this song still sends shivers down my spine.
I loved her enough to let her go. It's in God's hands
This song is helping me cope with what's going on in my life right now
Miss his music..I'll never let him go!🎵
This album was awesome! ❤️
He is so talented.
"...There's an unspoken rule, every man should know:
You can't hold her, if you can't let her go
..."
Please explain this rule to me
It's a different take on the old saying: If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they're your's. If they don't come back, then they never were your's the first place.
love love one this song! sure miss real country from the middle 90s to anything older!! REAL country music!
An absolutely great country soul song. Marks delivery is excellent. Just let he go.
Beautiful song. Beautifully done.. One of his very best.
dang this man knows how to sing
Mark is still performing. He will be performing in the very near future with John Anderson and Lee Roy Parnell at the Nashville Hard Rock Cafe.
Did what you said Mark, thanks. Been alone 16 years now, guess I never let her go...
I Love The Music Of Mark Collie 🤩💖🤩 💖🤩 💖🤩 💖🤩 💖🤩 💖🤩 💖🤩 💖🤩 💖🤩 💖🤩 💖
This song hit me like a brick for I've just had to do the same. It feels like it a pain you can't describe
I love all of Mark's Music just wish the music today sounded a fraction of what this ... Wonderful
This is so true. Luv this song
Wow this song has some good advice for me right now
boy does this song bring back memories......saw Mark sing this at Graham Central Station in Phoenix in '91......best show ever!!!
2023 and i let her go.She had the most incredible body a man could ever desire..Sad but she was a complete nightmare in my life.
Yes!!!
Awesome song...so true...I do know...he had to let me go...Thank you Mark. You are one of the best singer song writer's...love It..
.
How did it end when he let you go? Did you go back?
Also a very talented actor as well
Great song
I believe this was written by Mark's old friends Don Singleton, Perry York and the late, GREAT Ronny Scaife.
I have always loved his music
I can relate to this song so much.
i let her go and im in total misery have been since that rainy july night 12 yrs ago... i only let her go because i thought i was doing her a favor.. she was the most beautiful thing that'll ever look at me twice and i really thought i wasnt good enough for her.. i broke her heart and was too dumb to know.. i am haunted and my love is all spent.. i know ill never love like that again.. i also know that i was so wrong.. being that these feelings are this strong still i could've damn well become the man i thought she deserved.. jamie im sorry and hope you're happy... truth is ill never let you go...
Jack Lastly Carry on
George Strait wrote a song that seems to fit what your feeling. "Nobody in his right mind would have left her". Check it out.
Love the steel guitar. Love his songs.
This is a hit in my books! :')
mark is a REAL good ole boy. Lives a hoot n holler down the road in Waynesboro Tn. a crazy lil town......He ain''t a bad actor either and also I think he's coming out with a new cd next month or so. ; )
Electric guitar by James Burton and backing vocals by Vince Gill; great stuff.
My favorite Mark Collie song .
Yeah he's a good singer but he's also good actor that one scene in The Punisher he did was awesome.
I keep holding on to a girl friend, make long storie short she left without reason and i did something that did not help by not letting go i still think deeply of this women when she left in march 16th 1989 by April 7th 1989 i messed up !

HAPPY NEW YEAR MAY HER MEMORY FADE !
love this song
She didn't come back, still the BEST.=W.W.O
Do you think you made the right move? Sorry, just looking for advise.
At 11 this made me so f ing angry
At 41 it makes so much sense
Lots of truth in this song.

I had to do this and I haven't seen her yet and the pain almost killed me
I love this song also it's reminded me of a lot other people when I was younger back then

I' ve let my wonderful wife of 47 years go. That s why I still got the best thing that ever happened in my life, But, then again, she did the same to me while I pursued my musical dream. But, that s another story.
cool is. so. cool
3 AGAINISTS.............................JESUS
Maybe he did'nt leave country music, maybe it left him, lol
Why can't a ex let her go she has a new love let him love her
big rascals
Let her go to Alabama, still In my business I see. What does this have to do with me if no one is getting paid.
If she wants here money let her go. When she gets broke that will be he problem.
I have to be honest...watching Mark in The Punisher with Tom Jane and then watching this is a world of difference...and I prefer the Punisher's tune!!
Meh
Yeah, why did he up and quit his music career? Somebody let me know. Mark hit #18 in Billboard, 4-27-91. God bless!
@TheEhKay47Ricochet I love that scene...when I first watched the movie I never knew Ballistic Knives existed...so I thought it was the coolest reversal of powers in that kind of situation :P
