I was named after this song. Dad was a bull rider and was never apart of my life. I'm 25 now. The crowd will always love you but as for me I've come to know everything that glitters isn't Gold.
People who take the time to actually click on a vid (already narrows down the audience) and then take the time to give it a dislike (as opposed to just moving on or passing out) either crave attention or drama. I love DS and actually met him around '03 on tour with Charlie Daniels, but I don't care for this song. But I don't crave attention nor drama. I move on. RIP Dan, you were a peach of a dude.
This song is a masterpiece! Everything Dan Seals put his heart and soul and spirit into always came out so beautiful from this great singer/songwriter/musician! Love, BobbyK
I heard this song driving to South Dakota when it was the only station the radio would pick up. I tell you his voice is damn haunting when you're in the middle of nowhere.
Knew Dan well. I worked for the record label (Capitol/EMI, then Capitol Nashville) from 1983 through 1997 in promotion. He was one of the most beloved artists and a big gentle man. His incredible talent as a singer/songwriter is sadly missed.
I miss him Tony G. I know you do too. We do have his music to remember his legacy.
13 people must have one of those older computer mice, the kind with the inner track ball that gets dirty. Try as they might, they just could not hit the Like button.
Open up your mouse on the bottom and take a moist towelette, and clean that old thing. Or better yet go get a newer mouse.
@chazbroam , Enough, I have been enlightened. Please explain your understanding and how you have arrived at this understanding of making excuses for other humans. I would really wish to be educated, no, really I do.
@ASADAAAAAAMA I was trying to be nice. I had me one of those older mice (with the inner track ball), and when they get dirty they never hit the target you're aiming for. I always had to take the track ball out and wipe off the inner rollers (3 skinny rollers, 2 black & 1 chrome), then replace the ball. Now I got a optical mouse. no more cleaning :D
Glad to see I'm not the only person who tears up almost every time they hear this...I got to see Dan Seals live in the late 90s, such a great singer. RIP DAN
i was the first black counrty dj in my town i could just play this song over and over i was going thur a bad relaitonship at the time that i felt was good this song hepl me so much. I no words could be any truer
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It paints a picture of love, sacrifice, loneliness, beauty, dreams, compassion, sorrow and forgiveness.
It's right up there next to "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
I don't think I've ever heard this song without tearing up, not once.
I was a country DJ at a small radio station here in SWVa. back in the 80's. Spun 45's back then and everything was live. I had just turned 16 and worked after school. I remember the first time I played this song.... watching the needles on the meters bouncing as the transmitter shared this song with my friends and neighbors in the county... thousands of hours of music later and its still one of my favorites.
The cowboy and the rodeo queen are my mom and dad (Bill and Syd) and my sister is Casey. They were all good friends! This video was shot in Kingman Arizona. Dan is the one who got me into country RIP buddy these were the good days!
Such a sad song, but certainly lots of life's lessons. Of course what's not said here is maybe the woman left because the man wasn't supportive of her dreams. There are men who try to hold women back all the time. Ideally, a husband and wife will support each other in their goals and dreams, but unfortunately that's not the reality in so many cases
@choosing2lookeast i know its tough and there are many areas a gray in this situtation, but the woman did leave her child. and well if she didnt want a kid getting in the way of her dreams then she should nt have went to bed with the guy. cant ride to horses with one butt
Dan you were one of the best--along with Dan Fogelberg! I miss both of you greatly, and all the beautiful music you both made! Hey, I hope to see you both in heaven one day! Love, BobbyK
The part where Dan sings "Everybody said you'd make it big someday, and I guess that we were only in your way. But someday, I'm sure you're gonna know the cost. Cause for everything you win there's something lost..." That wonderful and truthful part of the song reminds me so much of my parents' divorce. I live with my pa and my ma is the one that lost.
I heard this song on the radio a few days ago, and the lady who was driving the car I was in actually let it play. The other two people in the car didn't mind it either. We caught the part of the song where he says, "Everybody said you'd make it big someday, and I guess that we were only in your way, But someday I'm sure you're gonna know the cost, Cause for everything you win there's something lost..." All I can say is, "How true!" Dan deserves an RIP indeed.

All I can say is, "How true!"
My son was working as a pizza cook at the Kelso Theater Pub (WA) in 2001 when Dan Seals played there. We didn't have two nickles to rub together, but my son got me a ticket and I sat in the VIP section. Towards the end of the show, my son came and sat next to me in his apron, sweaty from working all evening, and got me Dan's autograph and a CD. God bless the working man, dude. I will always love this song for what my boy and I went through together.
Can't believe I forgot about this song until I heard it at a truck stop the other day. And after all these years I still remember the lyrics. I knew country radio was dead years ago in '93 or '94 when I requested to hear song to the DJ. He told me it was too old for what they played. That's a shame. What an incredible piece of music.
@1echo75 - country music died when they stopped playing COUNTRY music. I was born in 1978 and was raised on Merle, George Jones, Wynn Stewert, Marty Robbins, Waylon, Connie Smith, and many other great country artiists who paved the way for today's popular singers. I don't, however, believe that what is played on radio today is what the old tymers had in mind. It's nothing more than twangy junk these days. It's Sad.
To all the wonderful Dan Seals fans: Please post any songs you have from Dan Seals first solo album called:England Dan Stones I ask you to do this because people are very greedy and want hundreds of dollars for the Cd which is a sin! Please honor Dan Seals by posting his songs from the Stones album! Thank you so much! Peace, BobbyK
i always feel special when i hear this bc i was named after this song...thanks to my daddy (may he rest in peace) so i always think of him when i hear it
...many men can relate to this song, I happened to marry my 'gold'...but it tarnished real fast...but enough of that. Dan Seals is one of the great's! His songs moved , stopped, and told things straight as a poet...God bless you Dan, and thanks for the memories...I wish music sounded and had the power as it did back then...there are some good singers today, but few and far between...but every generation has said that, no?
I didn't know he had died until I came here to listen to him. I listened to him a lot back in the 80's when I was dating the love of my life and I think of her when I hear him. I was also lucky enough to see him 3 times-the last time in a small club in Ft. Lauderdale. I was able to meet him in between sets and he was really nice and unassuming. We talked about the Bahia faith and the Bluebird cafe in Nashville and I was very glad I had gotten to meet him. His music will always be special to me.
I was lucky and I saw one of his shows in a small club up here in New England. After the show I went out to his bus and he signed my guitar, an Ibanez Artwood Series. We spoke for a minute as he wrote his name; he said he liked Ibanez guitars, “they make a great guitar”. He was as nice as a person could be no airs about him at all. The signature is fading with time; as I continue play the guitar, however the memories of that night remain strong.
I love this song! My dad is the one who showed it to me and we will keep hitting the replay button. It is beautifully written and has a great story to go with it.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dan several years ago in Hendersonville, TN. I mentioned this song as being one of my favorites. He told me it was his favorite, if he had to pick. He was very warm and friendly, almost shy. Life is short under the best circumstances. Tell someone how much you love them and how much they mean to you, while you can.
I'm a single father who by myself raised a wonderful daughter who just turned 18. Her mother told me I can raise her myself, or pay child support. It was the best decision I have ever made. I never looked back, and have absolutely no regrets.
She is very intelligent and caring. She soon starts college for psychology.
Thank you Dan Seals (R.I.P.) & Bob McDill for writing the "perfect song".
Used to listen to this in a little cafe where I was waitress in the middle of nowhere...we had cassettes of Dan Seals, and a few others, and those songs will always be with me. Thats been 20 plus years ago...along with Dan, many of my loved ones from then have been laid to rest...miss you all, miss Dan. The music keeps you all alive in my memories.
This has to be another one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time along with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Fishing in the dark." Dan Seals truly had some absolutely, magnificently witten and sung songs.
Question: Years and years ago I heard a version of this song that I feel is perfect. It is a bit slower in that the chorus isn't as "cheery", but rather more somber (which better fits the song). The biggest difference is when he sings about Casey asking questions and he says, "...but there's certain things a man just does...not...know." What a difference the lack of a contraction makes. Anyone else know this version....I can't find it anywhere.
@hackman12179 , yes, Casey is her daughter in the song, and in a way she becomes the central character of the song. The father is a grown up, and grown guys have to deal with broken love and abandonment, its part of life, but much of his pain is expressed at the treatment of his daughter by the mother...the love of a father for his daughter is all over this song...he always refers to "we"...not "I still make the curcuit", but "we still make the curcuit"...it is a heartbreaking song...
Thats a Tayor. I saw him play a Takamane once in Phoenix. Got to meet him at a show in Phx in '88 and again in '02 when he signed my left handed Laravee. Dan was a lefty but played a right handed guitar upside down. He had very long fingers and could reach chords on a twelve string that would be impossible for amyone else. When I asked him to sign my guitar he waited out in back of the Celebrity Theatre while I got it out of the truck. No other performer woud have done that.
As for me and little Casey, we still make the curcuit, in a one horse trailer and a mobile home...she still asks about you all the time, and I guess we never even cross your mind, but oh sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out, in your rhinestones and your sequins with the sunlight on your hair." Heartbreaking poetic line, and from here on out, it becomes such a western heartbreaker, it could be a novel...love of horses, and daughters, and rodeo queens...sad, beautiful.
Miss you Misty 12/18 and 2/19.

I love this song! My dad is the one who showed it to me and we will keep hitting the replay button. It is beautifully written and has a great story to go with it.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dan several years ago in Hendersonville, TN. I mentioned this song as being one of my favorites. He told me it was his favorite, if he had to pick. He was very warm and friendly, almost shy. Life is short under the best circumstances. Tell someone how much you love them and how much they mean to you, while you can.

What an amazing Voice! God I love this song!
I'm a single father who by myself raised a wonderful daughter who just turned 18. Her mother told me I can raise her myself, or pay child support. It was the best decision I have ever made. I never looked back, and have absolutely no regrets.
She is very intelligent and caring. She soon starts college for psychology.
Thank you Dan Seals (R.I.P.) & Bob McDill for writing the "perfect song".

Used to listen to this in a little cafe where I was waitress in the middle of nowhere...we had cassettes of Dan Seals, and a few others, and those songs will always be with me. Thats been 20 plus years ago...along with Dan, many of my loved ones from then have been laid to rest...miss you all, miss Dan. The music keeps you all alive in my memories.

This has to be another one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time along with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Fishing in the dark." Dan Seals truly had some absolutely, magnificently witten and sung songs.

Question: Years and years ago I heard a version of this song that I feel is perfect. It is a bit slower in that the chorus isn't as "cheery", but rather more somber (which better fits the song). The biggest difference is when he sings about Casey asking questions and he says, "...but there's certain things a man just does...not...know." What a difference the lack of a contraction makes. Anyone else know this version....I can't find it anywhere.

So; Is Casey her daughter?
hackman12179 1 year ago
@hackman12179 , yes, Casey is her daughter in the song, and in a way she becomes the central character of the song. The father is a grown up, and grown guys have to deal with broken love and abandonment, its part of life, but much of his pain is expressed at the treatment of his daughter by the mother...the love of a father for his daughter is all over this song...he always refers to "we"...not "I still make the curcuit", but "we still make the curcuit"...it is a heartbreaking song...

Efnscreenames 1 year ago
@Efnscreenames
Thats a Tayor. I saw him play a Takamane once in Phoenix. Got to meet him at a show in Phx in '88 and again in '02 when he signed my left handed Laravee. Dan was a lefty but played a right handed guitar upside down. He had very long fingers and could reach chords on a twelve string that would be impossible for amyone else. When I asked him to sign my guitar he waited out in back of the Celebrity Theatre while I got it out of the truck. No other performer woud have done that.

As for me and little Casey, we still make the curcuit, in a one horse trailer and a mobile home...she still asks about you all the time, and I guess we never even cross your mind, but oh sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out, in your rhinestones and your sequins with the sunlight on your hair." Heartbreaking poetic line, and from here on out, it becomes such a western heartbreaker, it could be a novel...love of horses, and daughters, and rodeo queens...sad, beautiful.
