Randy Travis - A Horse Called Music Lyrics

how can anyone not have a tear when they hear this beautiful song

Never gets old. I know it’s been beat to death but THIS is real
Country music. What a phenomenal rendition.

Let me ask Elton John and everybody in this world a question what is more important
Lives = li physed A is 👁️
Are MUSIC= MAN YOU SIC // MAN YOU SIK

“...the remembrance even of joy having its bitterness, and the memories of pleasure their pain.”

To me, maybe not to anyone else, but Randy Travis has the voice that is the most genuist and pure sound for someone singing country music. There's artists out there who seem to have to try to sound "country" and add that twang but it sounds fake, insincere and frankly, anyone can put a spin on their voice to sound like something else but you can tell it's contrived. With Randy, that voice was born to sing and not only sing the songs but you believe wholeheartedly that he's telling you his personal stories but just sings 'em and it's effortless. You don't see him straining his mouth or face to sing in his natural voice. I've heard many country/western singers (past and present) but no one can even touch what Randy Travis has naturally and was born with. No one tops him in my book. He's the best for me and the one who's 100% pure believable quality. That's it.

Most of todays supposed country acts wouldn't have a career.Or sell a single record, if they didn't have autotunes for producers to alter and clean up their vocals. Randy's friend and long time producer Kyle Lehning, once commented that he always recorded Randy's voice in an analog settin.So that they captured the pure, genuine , quality and fiber of his voice.


One of the things that always touched me about Randy's voice, is the believability and warmth, that comes through as he sings a lyrics. That ability comes through so starkly in this type of song.


I also have Willies album with that song title. Though I liked it, Willie always had a nasally sound to his voice imo. Randy's is as smooth as a good shot of Jack Daniels. There is no other like him. No one will ever fill his shoes.

Randy was my dad’s favorite country artist. Gives me the chills and makes me
Miss my dad

This song is awesome 👍👍👍

Love the Willie version. But hearing this in Randy's voice gave me chills.

What a damn voice

Love 💃💃💃💃💃💃❤️❤️❤️❤️ you Randy, Love your Music❤️❤️

Maher is as self indulged moron.

good grief

good grief

good grief

No words... <3

I heard Willie's version first as a kid about 30 years ago. I was looking for nostalgia and I came across my favorite country singer of all. I had no idea that Randy had covered this as well. Damn good old school country. Does anyone remember Randy's role as a juror in ”Runaway Jury?” It was raw and perfect!

Yep, have the DVD.

600th like! Should be a lot more!!!

One of his greatest and least heard songs.

amen and amen

In a class with Elvis Presley and Merle Haggard. Randy Travis has a special voice.... a gift from God.
I wish he would come perform in Saskatchewan Canada somewhere at sometime soon.

Heard Randy perform this in Penticton British Columbia Canada a few years ago. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

love randy

take me back when I was a kid wouldn't sleep in my bed I'd sleep on the couch listening to cmt.

after George jones, randy travis is as close as anyone can get to a pure country voice, gives me the shivers every time, wonderful

So, a different version from Willie's, but man, this voice is just made to make you keel over at the knees.
Ooohhh, am sliding absolutely ... into buying his cds.

Love this song, too bad it didn't get any airplay. WOW he has a voice!!! Miss seeing you Randy, come back soon.

I fookin luv this song! GOD bless you Randy!!!

Perfect

Now that I m listing to this I do like this and it sound like James taylor
kinda of if one ever heard of any of James of stuff

hell it don't get any better

Randy Travis is great, but I still love willie Nelson's version better!:)

David M ... How can you even compare the two voices, man?

It really IS too bad this song never got any air play.  I bought the CD it's on for a different song, and this one quickly became my favorite cut.  Gives me goosebumps every time.  The 9 people who don't like it probably heard Willie's version first and just don't get this version of it.  Too bad really.

Randy you have A voice like A Angel And such a beautiful voice,,,,Hope your feeling better,,,,,

Randy Travis is great, my prayers go out for him

A voice as smooth as honey

Randy has the mist beautiful country voice by far

randy travis hope this music will make you feel better because there is majti God thta is stronger than any Doctor is hope you will make many albums after the one u got now say AMEN to that jesus loves you jesus want to heal you ,jesus wants to protect you AMEN ,

The first time I heard this was a Willie Nelson cover. I gotta say Willie did a good job covering this song but Randy sings it a ton better!

I Love this song & I love Randy Travis he sings so beautiful. I love his songs he is always in my prayers

I Love this song

could one of you classic country ass holes please give this one a spin!!!!!!!!!!! i know people will love it !

CADILAC JACK ....PLAY THIS ONE ONE TIME IN GEORGIA AND LETS SEE

HOLY SHIT ! THATS THE BEST SONG I HAVE EVAR HEARD !!!

Randy is Golden, and his smile is Priceless!!

Wayne Carson wrote this song, also Always on my mind

I love the way he sing's "he rides away" i love how he says away and heart

Excellent song, Willie and randy both do excellent with this song, Willie has the character that makes this song, but randy has the vocals that will allow this song to move you and make you remember.

Too bad this was never a single.

Willie's version is great, but this is amaaaaaaazing (and I heard Willie's version first)

pushing the awesome button

GREATEST SONG EVER SUNG BY MAN !

He's my third cousin twice removed.....

Thanks for posting. This Wayne Carson composition is an outstanding song and Randy's version is the best I've heard.

i dont think no one can sing this song any better than Randy Travis(: he is amzing

did willie write this song

he has been so awesome for so long

randy .................you r the man !

I just saw Randy in concert at the DelMar Fair a couple of weeks ago...had front row seats and it was a GREAT show...last time I saw him live was about 20 years ago. His voice just got richer. I just wished he had sung this song as it has become one of my new favorites.

Randy is a cute mess, lol. I saw him in concert in Augusta, GA back in 1988 and he is just a gracious man. It was great!! I'm so glad he is still one of the good ole boys that is still here. I just love him. Thank you for posting. 5*****'s and thumbs up! God Bless You. Gwen Weaver

3 people has never had a horse called music..

Damn, he can sing low with bass in his voice..
One of the only others Ive heard that can do that was The Man in Black Johnny Cash, and dude from Boyz 2 Men

thank you SOO much for this post

how could anyone dislike this...

Classic.....peaceful mind

I think this is one of my Randy favorites. This is just such a soul wrenching song and there's no voice more perfect to sing it.

where can i get this dvd looked everywhere and cant seem to find it... i should mention im in the uk, n, ireland.... thanks

this song is so sad but I LOVE IT

Before Randy Travis Was Signed He Was Turned Down By Every Label; In Nashville! Guess It Just Goes To Show They Don't Always Make The Best Decisions ! Randy Got Signed Sold A Ton Of Records, Stayed True To His Style, Himself, His Roots & Forever Changed Nashville. The Record Execs That Turned Him Down & Everyone Who Said Hed Never Make It Well? Looks Like To Me He Did & Hes Still Riding That Horse Called Music. Randy Travis Is{Country Music}.

@GailChasin I didn't know Randy lived next to Wayne at that time. Hi Gail. I read your post, smiled, and said I know her. Hope things are well. Dee Provance

Wayne Carson wrote this. When I was a kid he would sing songs to Cristian and I that were even better. The last one I remember was A Horse called music. He wanted Willie to name his next album this. If you ever saw him play guitar and sing to you in a living room you would swear this is the greatest singer songwriter that I have ever seen

How could you dislike this how?

One thing on my bucket list is to get a chance to hang out with Randy for a few minutes. doubtful that it'll happen, but is on my list if given the opportunity.

What a terrific love song! They don't come much better.

such an awesome song!!

What an awesome song and I'm going to dare to say that Randy Travis does it the best. Wonderfully done.

I saw him play this song in a casino in late summer. It was so beautiful. Reminded me of my younger years when I used rope and ride and chase around them steers in Texas.

Takes me back to late this summer when i seen him in concert with some of my closest friends. We must of had 12-pack for each of us during the concert. There was beer bottles all over hell under our seats. We were sitting front row and it was like he was giving us a concert in my living room. Man that was a good time. Afterwards we met Randy's band at a bar and started to throw them back with them. Colorado Kool-Aid never tasted so good. The bar band played and I danced with every lady.

He is one in a million...

God I love his voice, and he's so polite. <3
Gentlemanly cowboys... they're so wonderful~

hes just good people man...........

i wish there was a new randy travis born every morning .......the world would be a better place ,...........

karlcolt When will come to the uk?Love his music. Real cowboy songs.

a great man and singer

Love you dude!

I loved this song the first time I heard it on his album, You and You Alone. I finally saw it in concert and almost cried, he did it so wonderfully. Thanks for putting this up, it lets others see the great work that isn't always known to everyone!

his smile remindes me of the joker

Randy Travis is good, but I think Willie's performance has the edge. Honestly, though, I think our favorite cover is the version of the song as we first heard it. Regardless.
Imagine Willie singin' Surfin USA.
See my point?
Even the Beach Boys couldn't play their own song as good as it first came out.
I think that rule applies to every artist.
Reasons are.. recordings are carefully controlled and first impressions are lasting.

Awesome this should have been played far and wide
