Moments - Emerson Drive

I dont know why i made this video, i just really wanted to share this song with you guys, it's my new favorite song!!
I had to listen to it like 5 times to finaly understand what it was talking about, but once things clicked the story almost made me cry!! I dont know why, its probably a combination of an amazing story in the song and the fact I was really tierd... but anyway, lyics:

I was coming to the end of a long long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E. Street Bridge
Followed me on to it
I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow tagging along
So I dug for some change
Wouldn't need it anyway
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
He said, You know, I haven't always been this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that plane ride coming home from the war
That summer my son was born
And memories like a coat so warm
A cold wind can't get through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments

I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
Would care at all
Miss me when I'm gone
That old man just kept hanging around
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
I think he recognized
That look in my eyes
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
I said, You know, I haven't always been this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like the day I walked away from the wine
For a woman who became my wife
And a love that, when it was right,
Could always see me through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments

I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
That old man tells his story one more time
He says

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
When a young man almost ended it
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit
And I helped to pull him through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments
I've had my moments
I've had my moments
I've had my moments

im an emo girl. and everyone makes fun of me for liking country music. but its emotional, and has real meaning to it. when i hurd this song i instantly fell in love with it. and i listened to it when i was ready to kill myself. and this song helped me feel better...... also i LOVE the horses. horses are beautiful! thank you for posting this video!

[Dawnpaw]

Thanks :) None of them are actually my horses, I just ride one (i'm the one on the gray) :) Actually I don't ride her anymore, I jsut rode her this past summer, then her owner got mad at the barn owner and moved her:( so I don't ride her anymore.:(

Haha I love the pic with our crops too!!

Stinks you can't see your horss, luckily we have an indoor to ride in through the winter, but it's still cold as heck! I rode western when i started to ride, but jumping looked so fun so I started english!
