When a reporter asks an old man about the tornado that has just destroyed his home, the man recounts some of the people he has lost during his life – a father, a brother, a best friend, his left hand, and, most recently, his wife of fifty years – and explains that losing a measly house “ain’t nothin’” by comparison. Unlike his deep-down emotional bruises, the rubble in which he stands “ain’t nothin’ time won’t erase” and “ain’t nothin’ money can’t replace.”Critical reception
The song was met with mainly positive reviews. Matt Bjorke of Roughstock also gave the song a favorable review. He said that it was "a sweet song about the human condition and how we manage to adjust and pull ourselves up from our bootstraps, despite how bad things may seem." Bjorke also said that Morgan truly shines on these types of songs and that it deserves to be a big hit.Music video
