Craig Morgan performs "Almost Home" on Opry Live

[RENEENBILL47]

HES SO SEXY AND HAS THE GOOD OLE COUNTRY FAMILY VALUES! I DEDICATE THIS TO MY UNCLE JIM GROOMS!!!

[zmanoflife]

He probably had to sing this song a ton of times by himself to stop himself from crying when he did it live.

[nattersrox]

not that Scotty McCreeery or whatev his name is from american idol could be Craig Morgan,but he could take some tips.

[nattersrox]

so LOVE this!!! what a great performance Craig Morgan. this song takes me back to my younger days as a kid, but the the story of the song the most.



[shane162133]

I used to sing this song with my dad and I didn't under stand it now I cry I know what it means and I wish I could help people like this.

[amawil5265]

@shane162133 You can... you don't have to be rich to help others

[kemitch75]

My son sings this song and it almost makes me cry sometimes cuz its so beautiful

[POLEN4413]

this song reminds me of my grandfather because he grew up in the country and that if had to go he wanted to grab a bottle and fall asleep in the snow so he can be with my grandma which will be the saddest day of my life

[TheEpik200]

How does he sing this with out crying cause i cant im 12 and i understand this all so well...

[jkdrawbaugh]

great song

[Garwood65]

I'm 15 and I understand way more than I want to understand about life at my age, this song just tears me apart thinking and singing the words. I don't ever want to grow up. I always will want to stay this age. This age. Is where you find your home. My dads deploying to Afghanistan soon. This song would make that soldier cry. I've seen him cry maybe three or four times in my life. 1 when we lost his dad RIP papa, 2 when I told him I want to move with him 3 when my aunt got married and she reserv

[w3bbgh0st]

I live about 30 minutes away from the Grand Ole Opry.

[olafmydog]

THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAV SONG!

[TheFlynblkman]

This Song Sends Chills down my Spine.I've never in my life ever heard anything like this. I'm so blessed for what I have.I don't really listen to Country,but My God.Amazing,and so Scary...

[betterworld21]

I absolutely luuuuuuuuv this song. My favorite country song of em all!

[sjgilley]

I used to dream of home at times when I was in Iraq. When I would awake to my surroundings, I would think of this song. Alot of great memories.

[MrSouthernMan1]

@sjgilley Yeah when I was In Iraq we had bunk beds, and If you had the bottom rack we would put sheets around the outside and I would lap up in there with my Ipod and just get away from everybody. If I needed Motivation I would listen to Johnny Cash "Ragged ol Flag", If I was thinking about my wife I would listen to George Strait "True"

then I lost a good buddy of mine so I would listen to Tracy Lawrence " If I Don't Make it Back" RIP Lcpl Riley

[sjgilley]

@MrSouthernMan1 Lcpl Casanova Cpl Guzman Cpl Kimple and your friend Lcpl Riley. Good night where ever you are and Semper Fi- Sgt Gilley. USMC

[ilovekelly75]

This may be the most underrated song of all time.

[soccerxxblonde66]

the first time I heard this song I was little, and I would always ask my dad to sing it to me.. I new all the words and fell inlove with Craig Morgan... you can't ask for a more heart felt song.. I love it and could listen to it all day long.

[MsSilenthorse]

speaking from experience of living on the street you dream of being home and not the earthly home if you take this song on a different level he was almost home he would have froze to death and been in his heavenly home

i prayed for that often i was only 15 and knew i couldnt go home i wanted to be dead this song is awesome love craig morgan

[VolunteerMinimum]

@MsSilenthorse I agree with your interpretation, thats what I always took it to mean. Very sad condition.

[rider12329]

Craig needs to re- record this song, IT'S AWESOME!!!!

[bladejutice]

If you feel nothing when you hear this song then your a robot!!!!

[MrADjam5]

Country music has the BEST lyrics ever!

[prepballfan]

Craig Morgan will perform in Port Neches Texas late April

[irishtims]

It's nitpicky, but if it's "5 below" how can it be "freezing rain (and spitting snow)"?

[3535washington]

@irishtims

Quite easily. There just needs to be more than one cloud layer, snowing, and precipitating frozen rain.

[copperhead29]

Cannot for the life of me understand why this song wasn't song of the year. I guess it was considered to country.

[prepballfan]

@copperhead29 its because country is turned to glamour and fashion. You nailed it 10 years ago this would have easily won SOY thumbs up

[THEFRAZ2008]

Great song!

[MsSophie26]

Oh, I forgot about this song. It make me cry, I love it great song.

[margies47]

My son was named Craig Morgan, my son died July 3rd, 2000, hew was 8 days away from his 15th birthday. He would be 25 now. I was shocked when I heard there was a singer with his same name. His middle name was Allan. I have heard you now and you have an Amazing voice, you have good looks too. :)

[candygirl22314]

when was this really done? looks old cause hes so young... lol

[ThePurehater]

WOW this is a great song....brings back so many memories of my childhood. I have truly been blessed most of my life....hard times really bring it full circle. Way to go Craig.

[bikerglenda]

Is there an official video for this song???

[rponce1971]

I love this song, gives me chills everytime I hear it!

[JodyJo9126]

whoever disliked this i wanna punch square in the face

[kmcwhq]

I listen to this song and I just CRY MY EYES OUT......can't help it.......such a touching song!!!

[KatieLeigh970]

Oh Craig Morgan.. this song live was amazing this summer... p.s you really shouldnt climb up the supports of the stage while singing bonfire.. your security was very scared, it was awesome though!

[7xxJohnnyRebelxx7]

When I was about ten me and my brother saw a homeless guy laying on the ground with his eyes closed. We stared for a second and when he didn't move my older brother nudged him. He didn't move so my brother told me to go inside the shelter my dad ran and bring him out. It wasn't till two years later that Papa told me that man froze to death the night before. This song is hard to listen to but honestly very touching.

[57goatwomen]

@7xxJohnnyRebelxx7 Love your comment,I think alot of people forget about all the vets out there.That man was a vetaran I bet.Most people don't no just how many of our vet are homeless.But our country will send millon to other country,How sad.

[gin7654]

Love the song,but they are singing at to slow a tempo.Not as much heart as in the original recording!!

[coleyman1]

@gin7654 The tempo is the same, but the background music is different. No fillers and strong lead ins to the verses and bridge. I like the orginal too, but this is what you get when you have a live band and get away from the computers and digital sounds.

[msambereyes]

Love the song...yet have to say this on the 'performance'...leaves me 'wanting'. However, there's another vid well worth watching of this particular song that far exceeds a mere 'performance'. Why settle for a burger when filet mignon is available? This difference between being a 'craftsman' and a true 'artist'. Easy enough to look up the vid: Lt Hurd.

[WoodallDylan]

Don't really get the message of the song but I like Craig morgan and I like the song.

[Rareairmj]

Brings back some very strong memories of growing up in North Carolina. Love his stage presence, he enjoys his work. Great song.

[boyfriendsgirl]

Damn....always brings tears to my eyes! I know someone just like that:( Keeping him in my prayers!!!

[hurd6377]

see the Lt Hurd version!

[62fut]

Ten years ago this song would of been Song of the year !! What a Shame !! We sure need more music like this and singers like Craig Morgan

[LAURAxoKU]

I LOVE this song. I have a meet and greet with Craig Morgan this week during CMA Fest. I'm stoked!

[wp1953]

Love this song. No matter how much I hear it, it gives me goosebumps every time!

[16647]

AMEN! BROTHER!

[Whipporwhill51]

Bravo!

[proudtexan85]

Craig, u served and all the stuff u have done i got great respect! i listined to this wen i was in afgan and iraq. Ima SF marine that went army! thank you!

[danielmmds1]

reminds a country boy of the smell of the river and the feel of mud on ur feet.

[bigcountry1310]

what a very beautiful song!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

why wud u dislike this video???

[fire482]

now that is country music!!!!

[ATLWAR]

how does Craig not win multiple CmA.s ? I see all these lame ass acts win every year, and he"s not even nominated. How is this possible?

[kellythesinger]

@ATLWAR I heard that this guy Clint Black heard the song and wanted to record it first, but clint wanted to change some things about the song and Morgan wanted to keep it as it sounds now. Big Music Business People got pissed at Morton for not Letting Clint Black record the song, and that is why is rarely heard on the radio now a days.

[splendidoyster3]

Can't wait to go walk down some of them old dirt roads of South Dakota again.

[bigcountry1310]

i love this song. i sing it to my kids

[kellythesinger]

This is one of the best country songs in years.

Im talking about the real country music, not rock country.

[flymonkeys3]

@kellythesinger I would say the best COUNTRY song since early early 90's and late 80's. When country was still country music and not rehashed 70 rock music.

[KikaSeoane]

i love him..

[FenderBuster]

This guy is a Superstar, great voice great song and great performer. EVEN LIVE

[Spielbergsp]

About 60 years ago you would call someone's voice great if it's great "even on a studio record" :)

[kirbyscovers]

Well done Craig .. you're one of the few country artists today who can sing in tune when performing a song live .. unlike many of your counterparts who dont sound so good live onstage.

[lilboou88]

i dont care what anyone says...craig is a great artist and I LLLOOOOVVVEEE TTHHHIIIISS SSOOONNGGG

[MrBckhunter1017]

Craig is cool as H***.....he is one of us!

[negril94]

I have to admit that I am not a country fan. KISS Army since 1975 (Yeah I'm getting old). I never even heard of Craig until seeing him on some Prime Time Hunting videos this year. I checked this out because I was curious. I also have to admit that I am very impressed! Kind of makes me wonder. Is there a bit country fan in this Canadian? Naaaah! BUT, as much as I hate to admit it, I kinda like this.

[swimbait1]

I like the recorded version alot better........his voice is weak in this live version.

[BGFalcon1089]

ya ok

[Opethfan79]

One thing you can say about this song is that it makes you thankfull for everything you have.

[EverHurt]

@Opethfan79 I drop to my knees every morning and thank god for everyone and everything I have.

[forestgrovej]

excellent song =) =)

[appletree37]

man what a hoot

[ku1026]

I Love This Song by Craig

[jmajetich]

I'm not even gonna lie, this song makes me want to cry. It just really gets to me you know?

[blazindankss]

I know the feeling, I was just thinking the same exact thing.

[Kev28FshiR]

hey saharra, that's true. i never i thought about it that way, but that's the truth right there ;)

[saharra22469]

Thank you Oprey live, for posting this, I love Craig...one of his biggest fans..and I love this song. 5*s and favs

[dlew71662]

i do like this song.. but there is a kid on youtube that does a much better job.. James dupre does a great accoustical rendition.. do yourselves a favor and give it a listen

[saharra22469]

You can't be serious? No matter who does it or how they do it...IT IS Craig Morgans Song. No one will ever do it LIKE HE DOES.

[catzrkool]

This song stirs the soul. Awesome!! And isn't he just adorable 3:57-4:02.

[naxes4]

awesome song

[racesity]

very touching performance by craig..

[jodthy106]

no comment

[brandonsmail99]

I agree with everyone that's all for this song.

I remember playing washers up in northern Missouri when I first heard this gem.

I sank three in a row after 1000 tries and 100 beers! Good times ya'll !!!!!!!!!

[001Bigred]

This song tears me up. I can't hear it without bawling my eyes out. I flatlined in 2002 and this reminds me of it in some indefinable way. My home is gone. It burned to the ground and I will never see it again. Lucky I got another one in heaven.

[jamieloves7s2]

One of my favorite songs ever. and no one could have done it any better

[littleleon]

Oh to be little again..

[britchick292002]

this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE, craig morgan song, and he does it SOOOOOOOOOO WELL.

[littleleon]

This will always be my favorite Craig Morgan song & I finally found it on YOU TUBE. THANK YOU!!

[jidd32]

this is what it means to perform live......lovely performance,......,just as if he's in a studio

[budboy1988]

this song makes me think of my grandfather god rest his soul

[chaparra2126]

love this song! he's an amazing singer! he's also very good looking! he sounds even better live!

[jns4ever2304]

great singer/songwriter, this will be a classic country song

[donsremodeling]

HUGE Craig Morgan fan! By far his best song, although "What I love about Sunday" is right there. He is excellent in concert also if you haven't seen him and get a chance I highly recommend it.

[thesnake52000]

Nah, this is his best.

[MikeB43]

Wonderful song with a message we can all relate to.

[mnpottsy]

I can identify with all the visual images this song presents. Old dirt roads, fresh mowed hay, cottonwood trees, honey bees, Calico Creek. I close my eyes and I am almost there. Great song Craig Morgan.
