A 1990s classic. An Uplifting country song made by Clint and his wife, Lisa Hartman Black, who both sang it as a duet, talks about the narrator’s resolve to be with his wife till the end of his life. “When I Said I Do” was pretty much about marriage and how they were able to stay through good and terrible times.
