  • black kids

  • LOVE this song.Keep on beliving,don't give up :]

  • Love this song Good job guys

  • Would it have been cooler if Will's song could have got airplay with him singing it? Yes, of course but this band does it decent and at least doesn't butcher the song. They stay true to the spirit. Obviously Will put the song out there for people to use and maybe this will help open doors for him. Good job EYB :) Went through a similar feeling when Faith Hill made a smash out of Cry and Angie still couldn't get airplay. Sometimes it happens. I still keep the faith good songwriters are valued.

  • I can't get enough of this song. The melodies take me back to great memories.

  • This song was done by Will Hoge like two years ago... He must have sold it... Will does a way better version... leave it to a big name band to get a great song heard... Not that the Eli Young Band does a bad job... Just not as good as the original

  • heard this song for the first time on the radio yesterday....can't stop listening now

  • Is Chris Young Related to James Young from the Eli Young Band ????

  • i really like this song. It's really good.

  • All I have to say is say hello to the future country band that is almost as good as Brooks and Dunn. At least they keep country country. Now as fans we need to make sure we get them to #1.

  • This Will Hoge song has been my favorite for years and I think The Eli Young Band have done a fantastic job. Hoge fans - this is good for him! Who cares who does it better?!

  • This song gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it. I start thinking back to when i was little driving around with my grandpa on the farm listening to and falling in love with country music. Dam good song!!!

  • Getting to the heart of anything one does...or dreams they want to do....don't ever give up, dreams are the only thing that is free anymore, and the end result is in one's control!! Great Song, lyrics are so meaningful!!

  • i didnt like this song at 1st...butt it grew on me....awesome song band of the eli

  • This video reminds me of when I got caught skipping so I could hang at Heart of Texas Music.

  • Those 7 Dislikes need to grow a pair.

  • I just heard this song on KUZZ the best country station ever! and i immediately fell in love with it keep up this music Eli young band !

  • @Evan858 Robert Earl Keen

  • loveeeeee

  • I am so so so so happy to see all the Hoge love on here! Hoge has more grit to his voice and that is what makes the song. Hoge has the heart and soul. Hoge was born to play. I can't imagine being on the edge of death and then coming back to doing insane concerts! Only 2 more weeks until I get to see the man himself!

  • love love love this song!!

  • I don't care who it's by as long as it's a good song. Great song by both Hoge and Eli Young Band. People need to stop bitching so much and just enjoy.

  • @FoundationCountry i know

    

  • It's really unfortunate that this version is getting air time. If you want to hear it the way it should be sung listen to Will Hoge.

  • @gotmud901 true 

  • One of my fav Will Hoge songs ever! EYB stays true to Will's version. Great job! If you like this song you'll love all of Will's stuff, check him out! They don't make songwriters like him anymore.

  • ya i heard it a couple days ago and cant get it out of my head

  • I heard this on CMT this morning, and I'm a guitarist. I liked the song, although I don't understand the lyrics. But it could be that I've been up for 23 hours straight now =)

  • Nothing can match the version by Will Hoge he made the lyrics. He put the heart into it

  • loooove this song, I could listen to this all day....

  • No Will Hoge, but decent.

  • lyric video here:

    /watch?v=02J61h9eqAM

  • gag. 

  • Eli Young Band's version is much better, they just sing it much better. Not saying Will Hoge's isnt good.

  • @CottonSchwab194 yeah ya kinda are.......

  • Comment removed

  • hello all i don't like country sometime but hell yea this song is coool as hell <3

  • Eli Young Band I'm going to let you finish, but Will Hoge did the best version of this song of all time.

  • hopefully more people will like this bcause this is a good song

  • Is the old guy in the video actually famous?

  • @DreamForHope7 maby but verry possible

  • @DreamForHope7 Yes, that is Robert Earl Keen, the King of Texas music!!

  • @tmennie wth? the old guy in the video is NOT REK.

  • I almost gave up my dream...this song convinced me otherwise.

  • Lyric video on my channel!! Go check it out!

  • i saw it this morning on cmt i love it

  • free on iTunes!!!

  • this is amazing, saw this first on CMT two nights ago when i was up at 3 am

  • Good video but I disliked it because I've seen them play it in concert three different times and not once did they give Will Hoge credit. And they started off on Texas Country stations and now they've began to lose their roots. Shame.

  • @lnbkr ; Weird because I've been to their concert every time they were and town, and they've ALWAYS give credit to Will Hoge. And it's not "losing their roots"? It's spreading their wings and actually making it big time in the music industry.

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

    Check out my original song called "Live Your Life Out Loud" :)

    God Bless,

    Layla Jade

  • This really should go out to dreamers everywhere, love it.

  • Awesome!!!

  • i love you

  • I absolutely love this song.

  • I'm sure Will Hoge is pleased with how Eli Young Band sounds!! Great song, Will...stays in your head all day!! :=)

  • Every note wraps around his soul <<3 it!

  • Great words WRITTEN BY WILL HOGE.

    Not a very good cover in comparison.

  • Anyone else get chills... awesome video! Makes me want to go and pick up the ol guitar.

  • This song is so amazing! No matter what you have to keep your head up and smile! Life for today, and make your dreams come true! Don't ever let anyone bring you down!

  • Will Hoge's original is better in my opinion. 

  • Beautifully true n inspiring...

  • you know when it's an epic band when there is over 27000 views and 1 dislike

  • @d3ath3ater97 there's over 40,000 views now, still just that 1 guy/girl that dislikes everything just so people yell at him/her, this video just got another Like though.

  • Black guy with a base guitar.. so stereo typical

  • this is good shtuff:)

  • Awesome

  • Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart.

    words i live by every day!

  • @IsabellGiger This song's the free music video download on itunes this week too.

  • @EvanCastle15 they are both very good

  • @EvanCastle15 He's a great artist

  • These guys are goood!!!!!!

  • Wow :') this video is awesome!! i already loved their song from their latest album but this video makes even BETTER!

  • Even if it breaks your heart 3

  • Wow! awesome!

    

  • Great video!

  • one word... amazing!!

  • WOWWWWWWWW

    

  • Ah. I love it!

  • Great Song! Great Video! Thumbs up on this Vid.

  • Will Hoge did it first. Will Hoge did it better.

  • This is by far my favorite song right now! Thanks EYB!

  • even hough i just got this song 2 days ago i cant stop listenin to it it gets me into a trance and makes me think tht life is worth liveing and never stop trying for your dreams

  • I cried, I really cried, both while seeing the "Small Town Kid" (my "other" favorite song by EYB) drumming, and the final scene. I've heard this song (not exaggerating) hundreds of times, both versions, but the video just made it even better. I heard they were making the video and was worried it wouldn't live up to what this song has done for me, but whoever directed this video deserves some sort of award, the video, just like the song, is beautiful, and as close to perfect as you can get.

  • Great song guys! Come back to Denton, TX! We miss you!

  • Love this...i just got free on itunes! Its the video of the week!

  • <3

  • aww it made me get all teary eyed.
