I'm only 27 and i can totally relate, i've been married seven years with two kids a full time job and recently went back to school and its hard. This video make me feel a little more hopeful for tomorrow.
Absolutely love this song! I was a teen mom and married at 24. I have been in college for the past 3 years and in three weeks will graduate with my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Forensic Psychology. I don't think this song is so much about her wanting to leave her husband or her life. It's about the fact that she married and had children young and any mommy, wife and college student probably feels this way from time to time. I know I have.
I really like this song. However, until I saw the video I was sure that the song was about a wife and mother who wanted to cheat on her husband. Anyone else thought that before seeing the video?
I just want to make this beautiful dream come true.
Every day I wake up is another blessing because I’m live and I can sing from my heart. Well, Music is all I have in my life and it’s all I NEED to live.
‘Cause without it I couldn’t smile, dreaming, singing and living.
And all I need to come true this amazing dream is your support .that’s all it takes
I wish mainstream country music was what it used to be... good. Don't know what has happened since the nineties. Most of the artists have strayed so far its barely borderline country music. Youtube is a great outlet for amazing artists to be heard. My channel is dedicated to those very artists. Check it out.
This reminds me of when I was kid, living with my mom and my sisters at my grandparent's house. It was small and run-down, but my parents separated and my mom didn't have the experience find a job with wages to support four children. She went to school and worked part-time doing odd jobs until she graduated, but I never fully appreciated that struggle until I got older. Hearing this song again after so many years, it reminded me of how proud I am of what she did and showed me I could do too.

I am 21 with two kids, and married I got married when I was 20, right after my secound child was born. I have went back to school three times now. And have stoped because i fealt that I was not giveing my family my all. I was working going to school and trying to keep dinners cooked, laundy done and house clean. Its a really hard thing to do. I dont know if I am ever going to be the nurse that I want to be. And somedays I wonder if i made the worng choose to have a family so young.
I am 29 years old just stopped school for a few years I have 3 children 6, 2, and 9 months I am going to go back to school when my 2 year old starts kindergarten. I understand where you are coming from; but don't give up on your family or school EVER! Some times life throws you a curve just go with the flow; Go back to school part time you have a full time life, but don't give up. I have a house chores kids family; I am going back to school part time that is what I have.
This song makes me cry so much. B/c I've lived my life in fear of crossing lines and hurting others. I'm 22 years old and I'm just now getting into college again. B/c I put my family first b4 myself. My family being just me and my mom who is now gone. So I'm on my own.
I am a 24 year old college student and listening to this song and looking back at everything my mother did for me I see how much of her life she gave up for me. I just hope that I can give back to her as much as she has given to me over the years. I don't care how old I get I will admit I love my Mom, I am a Moms Boy, and I still hug and kiss my mother and tell her I love her everyday.
I don't think I've ever cried through an entire video before, but I did on this one. This was me--even down to the English major and the godsend of an amazing husband--and this May I walked down the aisle one last time to receive my Ph.D. It can be done...with a family, with a job, with a tight budget, but always, only with God. "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14
Reba has always made a huge impression on me even now when i listen to rock mainly and dub step, I will always have a place for Reba. She's the reason my hair has been redder then it already is since 5th grade 13 years or so? :)
This song reminds me of my mother , she told me once that she thought this song as about me and my life , I miss her soo much !!! I hope that she is proud of the way that I turned out . I love you mom
Young people might not be able to relate to the feeling of anger & frustration in this video from 1991.
This is BEFORE the advent of the commonplace PC in the home... I'm sure she had typed the paper on a typewriter, and once it had something spilled on it by the kids playing around in the kitchen, it felt like the end of the world when the 1 copy of her paper was soaked. So touching seeing her loving & supportive husband using the blow dryer to "fix" it... so sweet!
You are correct and when you see her before the part they spill the drink on the paper, you can see her take the paper from a typewriter. Good call Linda :)
Thanks JPizzle 1223. Love Reba and my sister does too. She surprised me with a weekend in Vegas for a concert to see REBA at LV Hilton back in Jun '06... FRONT ROW CENTER!!
When Reba began to sing the SISTERS song with video of her and her sister's behind... and she was looking out to the audience singing... she saw my sister and me, pointed at us, then pointed at herself and the video behind her of her sisters, had a big smile on her face & my SISTER and I were so thrilled!
@lindalucys2004 oh trust me i understand. you HAVE NO IDEA what it is like to write a five page paper and then have your computer crash after you finish it with absolutely no backup the day before it is fucking due.
@lindalucys2004 - how young... the first time I heard this song I was eleven years old and it touched my heart and soul... the second time I was 15 years old... and now that I'm 28 years old I can actually relate to it very much as a mom and college student... no husbands anymore though! great song indeed!

This is my life in this song. I married when I was 20 and i did think i was ready for but i found otherwise later on. I have 2 kids ages 3 and 2. Every lyric in this song is my life in detail.
I am 41 and I am a single mother. I will be receiving my AA in Political Science in June 2012. When I see this video I see my life. Thanks Reba for singing my song. It means more thanyou will ever know.
Agree with you, the video with the song makes everything very real. I'm crying to now everytime I see this video, absolute love it. My mum told me yesterday about that my dad's mum wanted to become a hairdresser but wasn't allowed to either by her father or her by my granddad. Just now I realized that broke her heart and ruined her life. She didn't get to live her dream. Everyone should get to live their life as they want. That makes me motivated to reach my dreams, not just for me but for her.
HeLLo EvEryONE I don’t try to be a spammer; I’m just a person who is fighting for her dream I’m going to introduce myself. My name is Angie Medina and I’m 17 years old I’m in a small town, but I have big dreams I play guitar, flute and I would like to learn play piano and violin My dream is to be a singer And I would like that my dream can come true with the help of you guys. So please stop by my channel and check out my cover. Please help me get my dream. Thank you so much
Its a dang great song there has to be a great story to a song to make it work this is a rare song cuz there not great there awesome-great-best-everthing!!!!!!!!!! Love u reba! : )
My mama went back to school but my brother and I were a lot older, he helped her with her algebra and I just tryed not to bother her. He was in high school I was in 5th or so.
A few years back this song came on the radio as I drove down the road with my (x)husband. We married young, kids and work nothing I ever did was good enough for him. As we drove and I listened, I began to cry, trying to hide the tears which didnt work very long, he ask me what was wrong. I told him to listen to the song. he just laughed at me and said you cant do it so dont even try. With broken spirits I began putting a life together without him in it. Thanks Reba for your encouragement!
@carolhowerton Thank God! Anytime someone says you can't do it or put you down, that's a signal to leave them behind. I am glad that is just what you did. Things will get better for you if they already haven't. There is a theory that if you find your true love and they aren't ready for you then the next true love that is the best is yours while your old true love has to work through thier issues before they move on. It sounds like he has alot of work to do... You deserve the best!
@carolhowerton I can really relate to this song right now in my life. I'm 45 and going to college for the first time. I have grown children, but also a 5 year old that just started kindergarten. Juggling homework, housework, and mom's taxi - I am definitely tired at the end of the day. But you know what - I'm pulling straight A's and enjoying my college life and family life 100%. - Most of my professors are also very supportive!!
yes,after 16years of marriage he left me ,on top of that I had become disable due to
hit by a drunk driver ,had many many many surgery but he blamed me for getting hurt.and in the mean time he was having affair.I was told by his partner why are you still let him hurt you like this.?I asked what he meant then he told me.but I rase two wonderful daughter's from middle school too college now both of them are on Dean's list.If I can do it with disability ,then you can do it as well.
@kasf1982able You hang in there and just take it day by day. I am in the same place you are, been there for over 20 years now. Wish I could say it gets better but I can't. Just try your best. I am sorry you got hurt.
REBA you have and always will be my number 1 country music inspiration YOU taught me what music was and how to appreciate it and That is why I try to write the best music I can NOT published or sang yet but it will one day THANK YOU !
my mom has five kids, six if you count the one she gave up for adoption, and she just recently started going to college and she's working a full time job at a hospital and works weird hours. but still has the time to be an amazing mother. im so proud of her. <3 RLN :)
This video reminds me of my mama. She went back to school with 3 kids and working a full time job. Me and my sisters were, and are, so very proud of her and the example she has tried to set for us.
How come 12 people dont like this?!?! They must be heartless!!!! This song is a inspiration for everyone!!!! :) I think Reba is the only one that could've made this song so popular. She rocked it.
great video... kinda wish i had seen it before i decided to have a family work and do school all at one time and even still things are easier now a days then they were back then!!!
i see alot of people say they want a husband like that.. well my boyfriend is like that and im so so thankful for that. I know what this song is about. I work, have a year old daughter, school, and trying to make a life wiht my man... its almost impossible so this song touches me a lot.
This is amazing-I love how sweet the husband is, how hard she tries. It isn't some song that says life is all good with only a few little spills. It gives an example of true America. Thumbs up Reba!!
I keep hearing new grads saying they want to start a family. Don't yet. Do the things you dream of first because if you think college is hard now this video shows how hard it is once you have started a family. If you did have kids before college I have a lot of respect for you because of your strength and determination.
I don't like the way she says "I don't need anymore accident in my life", that reminds me of the plane crash. Still, Reba is the best, but I'm sure I didn't need to say that.
I remember watching this video in about 1994ish when I was 6 years old on CMT. I remembered the "but next time, try to avoid the stains" part. I haven't seen this video in years amd years! I loved CMT! I loved Reba, too. I so glad I grew up country. :)
Reba seems like such a lovely person and obv very talented ! I have just got her 3 cd best hits ! Thumbs up if you think Reba and Dolly should do a duet album
I think this video expounds on the underlying message of the song: the search for unconditional love. I've tried for so many years to be Huey Lewis in this video; a man giving that unconditional love, no matter what. There have been times where I have succeeded, but more often than not, I have failed at it. I've always had some excuse for not being all I should be to my wife. But that's all excuses are: excuses. But I am going to keep trying to make sure my wife knows how much she is loved.
I dont know what VEVO is but what ever this shithead corporation is somebody please kill it...probably some fucking french piece of shit oops...my mistake its those cocksuckers from Sony again...what a surprise
My life is just like this. I married when i was 17 and now i am 40. My husband is good to me and my kids, but i feel like i need something more in my life.
@TheBdawg101 Don't be afraid to go back to college if you feel you need more in your life. I relate to this song so much b/c I've been in that place, sadly enough, even the part about the not needing more "accidents" in my life. DH stepped in & reminded me what I had & what I was striving for too. He stood by me for 7+yrs as I earned the 2 degrees then again when I went back to college for medical transcription after I wasn't able to work in my given fields b/c health probs & loss of MT job.
@TheBdawg101 I telecommuted from home as an MT for 10+yrs b4 I had no choice but to resign. I lost the earlier career to blindness & the latter to Lupus (SLE) & Sjogren's Disease. It still didn't stop me completely. Today, I pick up work as a freelance writer, beta tester/reviewer, & even published my 1st novel in early 2000. I still write but it's btw flares & when Lupus/Sjogren's aren't causing probs w/my abilities. Brain fog & pain makes it 2 difficult to write well so I wait til flares pass.
@TheBdawg101 Since you have kids, I wanted to add to what I wrote earlier. If you chose to return to college for a new career choice, it will help you set an example for your kids & that's the example that you're never too old to learn something new or try a different path. It's what kept my oldest going back for her 2nd & 3rd degrees & plans to return in the fall after she graduates this spring w/degree #3. Her new DH supports her choice to return to college & work, which makes me proud of them
I like to dedicate this song to my little neice. After 8 or 9 years of marriage, and 2 children later, her husband, now ex-husband cheated on her. She too, married young. She's got her freedom back now, and I'm very happy for her. Love you Lish!! (Alisha) Your Aunt Nick
Get to know thyself so that YOU WON'T be a willing VICTIM/PREY to take whatever ABUSE or MISTREATMENT any man CHOOSES to inflict ON YOU when you can RELISH being in your OWN COMPANY you'll be the WOMAN that a man will WANT to be around BECAUSE you won't be the WOMAN who can't be without A MAN :)
@rugratz2222 I remember the manual typewriter I used back in the day that weighed a ton and there were no letters on any of the keys. Then I moved up to a portable yet still weighed a ton & was still manual w/o power. Finally, got my 1st electric typewriter - thought it was heaven; then my 1st TRASH-80 & it blossomed from there. Kids today don't know how good they have it. I remember having to retype pages b/c of 1 mistake & no correction fluid.
Hey whats up i love your music!!! check out my original tell me what you think your opinions matter because this is my dream and it means alot!!! I hope YOU become a fan and subscribe!! PEACE
If you're seeing my handle posting..it is not me who's doing it..it is my spirit when it leaves my body..on its daily mischieve..cross my..&..wish my success :D
most favorite song of Reva.1992'wowits been a long time ago.older daughter is bought to graduate college.wow the younger one was just few years old.now she is 20.wow time went by too fast.and too much to endure all the pain seemed to forgot about the past.cheers.

A few years back this song came on the radio as I drove down the road with my (x)husband. We married young, kids and work nothing I ever did was good enough for him. As we drove and I listened, I began to cry, trying to hide the tears which didnt work very long, he ask me what was wrong. I told him to listen to the song. he just laughed at me and said you cant do it so dont even try. With broken spirits I began putting a life together without him in it. Thanks Reba for your encouragement!

@carolhowerton Thank God! Anytime someone says you can't do it or put you down, that's a signal to leave them behind. I am glad that is just what you did. Things will get better for you if they already haven't. There is a theory that if you find your true love and they aren't ready for you then the next true love that is the best is yours while your old true love has to work through thier issues before they move on. It sounds like he has alot of work to do... You deserve the best!

@carolhowerton I can really relate to this song right now in my life. I'm 45 and going to college for the first time. I have grown children, but also a 5 year old that just started kindergarten. Juggling homework, housework, and mom's taxi - I am definitely tired at the end of the day. But you know what - I'm pulling straight A's and enjoying my college life and family life 100%. - Most of my professors are also very supportive!!

I keep hearing new grads saying they want to start a family. Don't yet. Do the things you dream of first because if you think college is hard now this video shows how hard it is once you have started a family. If you did have kids before college I have a lot of respect for you because of your strength and determination.

mjhart123 7 months ago
I think this video expounds on the underlying message of the song: the search for unconditional love. I've tried for so many years to be Huey Lewis in this video; a man giving that unconditional love, no matter what. There have been times where I have succeeded, but more often than not, I have failed at it. I've always had some excuse for not being all I should be to my wife. But that's all excuses are: excuses. But I am going to keep trying to make sure my wife knows how much she is loved.

TheBdawg101 8 months ago
@TheBdawg101 Don't be afraid to go back to college if you feel you need more in your life. I relate to this song so much b/c I've been in that place, sadly enough, even the part about the not needing more "accidents" in my life. DH stepped in & reminded me what I had & what I was striving for too. He stood by me for 7+yrs as I earned the 2 degrees then again when I went back to college for medical transcription after I wasn't able to work in my given fields b/c health probs & loss of MT job.
PaisleyPlace 8 months ago
@TheBdawg101 I telecommuted from home as an MT for 10+yrs b4 I had no choice but to resign. I lost the earlier career to blindness & the latter to Lupus (SLE) & Sjogren's Disease. It still didn't stop me completely. Today, I pick up work as a freelance writer, beta tester/reviewer, & even published my 1st novel in early 2000. I still write but it's btw flares & when Lupus/Sjogren's aren't causing probs w/my abilities. Brain fog & pain makes it 2 difficult to write well so I wait til flares pass.
PaisleyPlace 8 months ago
@TheBdawg101 Since you have kids, I wanted to add to what I wrote earlier. If you chose to return to college for a new career choice, it will help you set an example for your kids & that's the example that you're never too old to learn something new or try a different path. It's what kept my oldest going back for her 2nd & 3rd degrees & plans to return in the fall after she graduates this spring w/degree #3. Her new DH supports her choice to return to college & work, which makes me proud of them

@rugratz2222 I remember the manual typewriter I used back in the day that weighed a ton and there were no letters on any of the keys. Then I moved up to a portable yet still weighed a ton & was still manual w/o power. Finally, got my 1st electric typewriter - thought it was heaven; then my 1st TRASH-80 & it blossomed from there. Kids today don't know how good they have it. I remember having to retype pages b/c of 1 mistake & no correction fluid.
