“Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)” is the story about a cowboy who has been competing for years and just doesn’t have the strength to keep at it anymore with the stress of being away from home all the while watching a younger crowd taking over the business. I’ve always really loved this song because it was my grandfather’s (who served in WWII) favorite song. “Belleau Wood” is a lesser-known Garth song that tells the story of a soldier in World War I at the Battle of Belleau Wood. I’ve always found it really interesting that Garth has versions of certain songs he only plays live, such as “Friends in Low Places” and “The Thunder Rolls”.

This version includes a third verse that not a whole lot of people know.

Not the regular album version though, but “the long version” of the song that Garth only plays live. So naturally I decided to compile a playlist of some of my favorite Garth songs to share with you guys.įirst and foremost, I want to put “Friends in Low Places” on here, which I’m sure most of you are probably pretty familiar with. Since I decided to analyze Garth Brooks’ second album No Fences for my project, I’ve found myself listening to a lot of Garth the past few days and I’ve found myself reminiscing about all the songs that I have grown up on and loved throughout the years.
