I miss music like this too. People can say all they want about the mullet but many wore it well. Billy Dean was one of them! He sure was a good looking one.
My Cousins name was Billy. He was 23 and his life was taken from him. This song reminds me of him so much. We played this song at his funeral. R.I.P. Billy. 3 8.17.10
Because it isnt played anymore and ever since country really started taking off, great songs like this and artist's like Billy are getting lost. Plus, it is pure becasue there is no drinking, cheating or drugs. =)
As I'm facing my 50th birthday I see all to clearly the full meaning of the song. Live your lives so you won't have any regrets folks. Live your life so the preacher and your family won't have to lie about you at your funeral. Love your family, love your friends, enjoy life.
I miss Billy Dean!! He had everything -- drop dead good looks, sex appeal, great style and voice and those dimples -- I just love to watch him singing in this song! But the song has a terrific message, too. A lot of us miss the kid in us....
My Grandpa who was named William Bonnie after Billy The Kid loved this song. He passed away in 1999 when I was 23 years old, and every time I hear this song, I feel as if he is sitting next to me. I will forever love this song, and miss Billy The Kid. I love you Grandpa.
my dads name was billy and me nd my grandma would sing this songeveryday before and aftr skool so much the tape broke there both gone know i only meet my grandma my dad died when my mom was pregnet with me:'(
Thanks for posting! I listened to this so much back in the early 90's on my long drive to work. I was so happy to trade my CD player for an ipod because I've never gotten into a lot of his music mostly because I was sooo into Collin Raye but I can't help but love this song AND the video!! This was awesome to see! Brings back some good and bad memories
i was young myself when i first heard this song maybe 8 or 9 cant remember thought it was actually about Billy the Kid now as an adult ( or as close to being one as i can get lol ) this song has a whole new meaning to me
@Justin21280 Not So....He had 5 or 6 hits. 'IF THERE HADN'T BEEN YOU', IT'S ONLY THE WIND', SOMEWHERE IN MY BROKEN HEART, ...AND OTHERS. Like many other very talented performers, he didn't have the right promoters and vanished from the scene. It's a SHAME.
billy dean has written some really great songs - this is one of his best, yet after listening to "onlyhere for a little while" then 'its only the wind', or 'somewhere in my broken heart' - well what a writer, singer and performer. Thansk Billy D.......
Billy Dean is awesome, saw him in concert and loved this song and I was the first one to get his autograph and wow, thank you Billy Dean! I love this song, did when it came out and still do!
Not what you would call a big Billy Dean fan; but this is a great song. Does make you think of how good most of our childhood days were. I too miss those days with all headaches and complications in the lives we face as adults..
wow I was thinking about this guy not to long ago but couldn't remember what his name was, then I heard Jimmy Dean passed & then thought of the name Billy Dean. This is when Country music was still country from here til a couple years ago & now country music is mostly in the shitty with the new artists! Oh & thanks for posting brought me back to a little kid again lol
omg someone brought up billy the kid when we where talkin n this song popped in my head! i havent heard it since i was like 4 years old! this song is amazing!!!!!
i thought i was the only 30 year old looking for this song having hear it first as a kid thats how long this is but my god i get the same feelings lol
I loved this song when i was younger but i never knew who it was by for some reason the song popped in my head a few minutes so i decided to look for it im glad i found it brings back lots of memories thank you for posting it
man i can remember road trips with my family when i was little and we would listen to his albums over and over...great video and a great song..thanks for posting
omg i remember this from when i was little. I thought billy dean was just the hottest thing then. I can't believe this is on here! Does anyone know if his song Trying to hide a fire in the dark is on here?
i dont know that he fell off the charts, some people do for a while, but i do know that he stopped singing after his daughter was born for a while........... if that helps any......i dunno
I dont remember hearing Bily on the radio much whenI was lil. I love his song. I wish he woud come back. Radio stations play this song, Let Them Be Little, & Trying To Hide A Fire In The Dark once in a blue moon. :(
I saw him last night @ the Grand Ole Opry! & was wondering the same thing, 1redsoxfan63. He still sounds & looks great, just some age to him. And he sang this song, too.
As much I like billy dean, his style never changed with the new nashville sound which is very heavy pop orientied. Its a shame be cause the new sound is not really that good. Billy dean is a excellent performer.
Wow this is a flash back...I have had this song going through my head for weeks now, and I had to listen to it. I had no idea it was country or even what it was about lol. I don't even know how old I was or how in the world I heard it...
I was young when this song was popular I thought it was catchy but hearing it now as an adult it means much more! Thanks for posting. Hope Viacom doesn't yank it, it's great quality.
I dedicated this song to my oldest son, Jake (Jakey the Kid) when he was really little (about 3) because this song was SO like him. He used to ride around on his customized Harley Davidson tricycle with his cowboy hat on and his play guns. I miss those days. I can't believe he is already grown up. I miss my Jakey the kid...
