"Is There Life Out There" is a song written by Susan Longacre and Rick Giles, and recorded by American country music singer Reba McEntire.
This video is noted for being one of the first in country music to include significant amounts of dialogue that portray the song's storyline.
Her husband, Andy (Lewis) keeps things under control at home as life becomes hectic for Maggie: the couple's daughter is sent home from school with an illness, the couple's son is in a school play, and Maggie—whose job at the busy diner always makes her run behind—irritates her hard-nosed literary professor by her frequent tardiness.
Unfortunately, the stresses of pursuing her degree nearly gets to Maggie when she yells at her daughter for inadvertently spilling coffee on her term paper.
McEntire starred in a 1994 television movie on CBS, also titled Is There Life Out There?, which was based on the song's storyline.
