Mary Chapin Carpenter - Never Had It So Good

[The313slimshady]

My English teacher introduced me her :)

[tonyswife351]

@JiJinks are you maybe thinking of "The Fool" from LeeAnn Womack? Not sure if I spelled her name right

[4dman66]

Fantastic video and very talented singer song writer.

[JiJinks]

Does anyone know a song of the same meaning but the guy didn't leave the girl, actually she realized he never got over his ex and she had to leave him?

[gorfitz]

MCC is so beyond the hacks at country music radio-they will keep playing classics like "She Thinks My Tractors Sexy and "Beer for my Horses. How could she compete?

[rogerwolfenbarger]

I applaud you MCC every time I hear this song. Brilliant! 

[jdh501]

Oh wow. Her eyes look so sad in this video. She really sings this one from the heart. I got hooked on her voice and country/folk style way back in the day.

. . .1989. Come back Mary-Chapin.

[gorfitz]

Country music wouldnt know talent like this if it bit them in the rear.Long live MCC

[tonyridlen]

A great sounding and looking lady way to good Mary Chapin Carpenter.

[Clint4L28]

I so wish she was back on the radio! Love her voice!

[nthemoment929]

One of the BEST used to splash in pools i=with her she is REAL ARTIST

[tamilapp]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!

[rnr5682]

MCC/john Jennings wrote in 1989.

[nestone50]

It's an old Paul Williams song

[LouZe89]

Hey ya'all :) I loooove this song, but i know a man is singing it 2? Does anyone know who that man or band is? So sorry, but i like his version better.. PLEASE HELP ME! <3

[WBA1965]

Knew the song from a Danish cover. Nice nice song

[pokerpro59]

why don't the radio stations play this great stuff anymore....................

[cvrv43]

@pokerpro59 That's what I'd like to know. We don't hear the good stuff anymore.

[PalatineUvula]

So you just go where you go,

and do what you do,

and be what you want to be...

but when she burns you again,

and your phone doesn't ring,

baby, it's me

best lyrics ever... thanks MCC

[DaveWollenberg]

Mary Chapin hit #8 in Billboard, 11-25-89. God bless! Way to go, Mary Chapin, for finally quittin' smokin'!

[MrSpringtoad]

MCC has such a rich-souding voice. I also love the driving beat of this song. One can almost dance to it. The video production is nice too with it's blue color and clear pictures of Mary and the boys in the band. MCC is a class act.

[blindmotorhead]

@mnymakers I wish I could answer that for sure, but I can only guess. My guess is: There are more dumbasses now than there were then. I was born in the wrong generation, cuz I hate that garbage and everything else today's youth like.

[alienhuman]

MCC is right up there with Nancy Grifith and Lucinda Williams in my opinion.

[srdude5491]

It's been ages (like 21 years) since I've heard this tune--solid gold country!!

She's so good...

[See918]

Somebody help me out here, in the places where she sings how he does what he wants, I get the impression that when he was with her he felt restricted or she was restricting him. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.

[gs7767]

she is so underrated one of the best artists ever

[srdude5491]

@gs7767  Agreed!

[AmIrish2thecore]

@gs7767 I totally agree....it's sad :(

[mnymakerz]

With music this good out there, why on earth was rap ever invented? Good Lord.

[nylibertyfan]

I remember many years ago when I worked at a store in Tysons Mall in VA and she came in with a friend. She looked like she did in this video...very low key and not flashy. She was really nice. I just love encounters. :-)

[alienhuman]

@nylibertyfan Not Tom Mcans?

[nylibertyfan]

@alienhuman What's that?

[alienhuman]

@nylibertyfan An old shoe store in Tysons

[laurak261]

good song.

[mnichols1959]

This was me! :-0

[mjb1102]

SUCH a good song!!!

[brainriot]

it's like they TRIED to make her look like a horse

[Kevinessequamvideri]

@brainriot

That's how you know she's a great singer. She doesn't have to use her looks to be famous.

[moviemen]

Yeah, song makes me think a few apoligies are in order, you live and you learn I guess

[blairva122]

ya know, i ued to be the kind of guy that she's singing about. i didn't know how it ws until it happened to me. i would have liked to apologize to the girls i did that to. i didn't realize what an asshole i had been for a long time. good way to keep humble

[gs7767]

Good song... love the way she tells a story

[vadennotbaden]

I wish we had more singers like Mary Chapin Carpenter today...what an awesome unique sound...

[vadennotbaden]

VEVO's getting better...

[kriegs82]

Great song!!! Haven't heard it in years!!
