    This is biographical. Most of the words are his own. That is his wife he's dancing with. And their 3 daughters are briefly shown in the video. When Alan references a broken time, their marriage came very close to ending. Thank goodness that they found each other and actually today their relationship is stronger than ever.

      That can be said with the other genre's also but I live country and I feel that it gets a bad rap just by a certain number of people and it's sad....they're really missing out. Gosh, the south is like they say...the wonderful southern charm and meaningful. Does anyone agree? My sister sang ever genre....but I think I loved the most is when she did country. And she had the voice of Karen Carpenter, sadly died at 38/hospitals fault and didn't get to do much with her special talent. So everyone, go for you're talent. I just couldn't rise above after she passed. I'm tryin...

      You need to do the live version that he did at the CMA’s I think it’s better because you get more emotion from his posture and facial expressions. That and when he was asked to sing this at the CMA’s they told him he would have to cut it down to 3 minutes to accommodate the tv slots/commercials. This was a huge argument between him the the academy he finally agreed then when it was time for him to go on stage he told the band and orchestra screw them were doing the whole song it was like 7 minutes long.

    Alan Jackson is a very talented country artist that lives by his morals. The woman he is dancing with is his wife, and they have never been married to anyone else. I would also recommend that you listen to another song that he wrote in less than an hour, sitting in a restaurant. It's called "Where Were You when the World Stopped Turning".

    I never cared much for country music, in my youth, but as I've gotten older I appreciate it more and more. The themes are generally pretty feel good, wholesome themes, God, country, romantic love, etc. Country music tends to tell a mini-story within the song about one of those themes.
