This Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman penned song
was the longest-running country #1 of 2004 remaining at the summit for
seven weeks. It was also named as the #1 country song of 2004 by
Billboard.
The song tells the story of a
man who gets the news that his father has a life-threatening illness.
His dad's message is to live life to the fullest. When the demo was
played to McGraw, it struck a chord with him as his own father, former
Major League baseball pitcher Tug McGraw, was dying from cancer at the
time.
