I have had this ongoing argument with my husband and my sister. I think the "angry" person is the man. They think it's the woman. I tell them the song says "the spittin image of you when you were young." "You," meaning the man. So "you", the "angry" one is the man. Right???
Yes, especially when he says I hope they can see past what "you" have become! obviously he's the one struggling he hopes they don't turn out like him! Although, it could also be referring to the wife in some people's eye especially if this is there situation. I think the song was wrote that way! Beautiful song one of my favorites!

I have always wondered if it is the woman or the man but I guess if you think about it it doesn't matter. I thought it was the husband based on the comment of spitting image of you when you were young, but maybe that's just my perception since Tim was singing it and I relate it to my own experience.

@lisa2522 I heard an interview with Tim McGraw on the radio say it is from the perspective of the woman. So yes the “ angry” person is the man. When people told me it was the woman I would bring up that line as well.

I always thought it was the woman but I think that may be just because it's Tim singing it, I never really read into the song :p
