A genuinely kind human. Always a nice lookin’ tall drink o’water, as we say in the south, (in those tattered jeans) with an absolutely beautiful family that he treasures. ❤ No one will ever replace him. A sound all his own, easily recognizable voice. Prayers for he and his family and the illness he’s dealing with now. He’ll always be a national treasure. ❤
As the only girl and youngest of four older brothers, when daddy taught me how to drive at 13, in an empty parking lot, this is getting me in my feelings, RIP Daddy ❤😢
Alan Jackson has always been one of the favorite country singers., and he writes all of his own songs. This song reminds me of the way I grew up in the south. I have respect for the both of you the way you dissect the song lyrics and are willing to react to different genres of music. Great reaction.
Alan Jackson has a ton of hits. It may not be the top hit of his career, but I think this is one of his more recognizable ones, pretty close to the top. It's hard to tier his hits, because they're all great.
I agree with Christie, wanted is a great song by Alan Jackson, I have a song by Alan Jackson I would like to request when you get a chance, it's called " SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOVE ME ANY MORE" a really good song to listen to and I think you will enjoy it. THANKS
When Alan Jackson's father passed away, he wanted to write a song to honor him. As he tried to come up with deep things to say about the man, all he could think of was the good times he had with him. Since Alan's father was a mechanic, with Alan becoming a gear head himself, those good times came when his father trusted his young son to drive something. All of us fellow gear heads can relate. Anyway, he later did write the deep tribute that he originally intended to write. It's called "A Small Town Southern Man"
I know the reason this song was so popular. I lived it. I grew up driving my grandfather's old John Boat and his old green pickup truck. I remember being very young behind the wheel of that truck. Probably 7. That's the beauty of growing up in the country. Life is filled with experiences with your family. We all spent a lot of time with each other. We depended on each other. We were all we had. I wouldn't trade the experiences I had with my grandfather for anything. He was a WW2 vet. Retired by the time I came along. We spent every day going on adventures. The man literally taught me everything I know. He could do about anything. Only now that I'm older and I realize I can do almost everything I need to do and fix anything around the house because of him and what he taught me. I have a lot of friends that have to call and pay people because they didn't have someone in their life like him. I was so blessed to have him. Loosing him is still the biggest void I have in my life. He was just irreplaceable.
Alan Jackson is an icon. He has a song called "the older I get". One of the most underrated songs. Yall should check it out. Also "small town southern man", " I'll be the bad guy" "wanted", "living on love" "here in the real world" and "midnight in Montgomery" which is a tribute to Hank Williams
My dad taught me and my sisters how to drive in his jeep in the mountains and he used to tell me “slow down Mario” since we lost him in October this song makes me cry every time I hear it
This will always remind me of my grandpa. He taught me ro drive young, built race cars, dune buggy's etc... Lots of adventures behind a wheel. Here i sit in an 18 wheeler. Loving every minute 😊
I grew up on a ranch/ farm, I learned to drive tractors before I could ride a bike. The only time I rode a bike was when I would go to school. When I was 8 my grandpa gave me a 57 Chevy truck. I kept that truck until I was 20, sold it to pay for my first wedding, should have kept the truck.
I heard this song for the first time awhile back and it brought me to tears. Now I have a pick up I bought from my dad due to the sentimental value it has to me. He bought it in 1996 and I learnt to drive in it and it's some of my best memories of my father who passed away late 2019.
my dad taught me how to work a clutch and shift gears on a little dirt bike when I was a kid. I remember being so happy and proud, I stalled it once and as it tipped it burnt the hell out of my calf but I didnt even care lol.
Those 'feelings' he mentions are so true and real. I was riding,(and crashing) mini bikes at 8. Had to help Dad repair more than one fence. Driving tractor in a vinyard at 10. Just a small FordN9, but at that age, the power made me King-O-The- Road! Such a shame young ones today don't get that experience.
He sings about real life things we all have had happen in our lives that why they get to people they make you look back at least for me Dad teaching me to drive then me teaching my kids how to drive. Now it is my oldest Grandchild that is ready to learn to drive ( She wants to learn how to drive a stick ) . With Mr. Jackson the older you get the more his song get to you. I learnt to drive with a three on the tree Grandpa's old truck such great memories of my youth and now with grandkids like Alan I hope my kids and grandkids look back at the good times we had and the little things like this. I played this song at my Dad's funeral with tears in my eyes. I still tear up even today at 56 cause all the memories come back I miss him so much he was best friend and mentor.
This song makes me cry every single time I hear it. Sitting on my Dad's lap and "driving" when I was a toddler is one of my best and most favorite memories of my Dad.
My favorite songs by the icon Alan Jackson are Remember When, Livin’ on Love, Where Were You, Small Town Southern Man, I’ll Try, Here in the Real World, Drive, She’s Got the Rhythm, The Older I Get, So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore, Monday Morning Church, and I Can't Do That Anymore (recorded by Faith Hill).
I learned to drive on my uncles farm when I was 9. Driving the tractor so the guys could load up the hay bales. Then my older brother taught me ride a dirt bike. Then my first car was a rusted up Datsun with a manual choke and a stick. I was so proud every time I got behind a wheel.
In the country, Daddy's have kids out on back roads learning to drive at 10 or 12 years old & driving tractors before that. LOL As for Alan? His writing & his laid back style are like a warm blanket. Everything about his screams the simple life filled with family, love & homespun living. Love the photo of him in the boat with his dad at the end of the video. For new ones to check out "Summertime blues' & 'Five o'clock somewhere' , 'Gone country' all have fun vibes like Chattahoochee, 'Midnight in Montgomery' is a cool story where he catches a ride with the ghost of Hank Williams Sr., 'I don't even know your name' is a funny one, 'Don't rock the jukebox', 'Chasing that neon rainbow'... so many great songs. Ya can't go wrong.
My daddy let me drive his 1967 Plymouth around an old dirt road on Bearwallow Mountain. Hes been gone a year now so this song takes me back. I totally get it.
My gosh, I am 70. I grew up driving my dads boat and know the feeling. We called the boat Hubs tub. Believe it or not, I learned to drive with an old 1962 Ford truck on a dirt road going to the town dump. Such memories... Hopefully my sons remember us together the same way.
Alan Jackson is more down to earth than any celebrity in the history of celebrities... and earth. To this day, he claims to not understand what the big deal is about his singing. He's a self-deprecating man. He's even quite shy.
100% pure nostalgia! I grew up on a farm in Florida, cow pastures and orange groves. I learned to drive the farm tractor as soon as I could push the clutch all the way down. And the farm pickup truck as soon as I could see over the steering wheel. Sweet memories with my Granddad!
I love when that beat kicks in in the beginning. It's small and simple, but sooo good and I anticipate it in my soul when I start to listen to this song. This is one of my best friend's favorite songs. He told me it reminds him of his dad, who passed away in a house fire when he was a little kid. His dad used to take him fishing and stuff. Though I can relate to the experiences within the lyrics, myself, that's not what I think about while enjoying this song. I just simply love the sound, and the sentiment of the lyrics/message.
This song was practically me! I remember being about 09 to 10 years old and my grandpa teaching me how to drive a 1949 to 1952 John Deere tractor and those memories of him teach me how to do it has been with me all my life and I’m almost 37 now whenever I hear one of those tractors, it takes me back in time! Unfortunately, don’t hear songs like this on the radio anymore! If you do, it’s rare! Unfortunately, country music these days is the same old crap!
These are the memories made in small town USA. Most country kids learn to drive farm equipment as soon as their legs can reach the peddles. You don't need a drivers license on private property. Dad teught my Mom to drive on a tractor after they got married. Good reaction. ❤
With me it was not driving a boat; rather, it was swimming in the river, climbing tall pines, and hunting with my own rifle in the forest by myself. In a word, it is independence for the child that gives him/her confidence later as an adult. As a parent I now realize how difficult this process is--to release the child to grow.
The road I live on I remember it used to be a one lane dirt road and you better pray you didn’t meet anyone because it was only big enough for one vehicle and nowhere to turn around. Now it’s a paved two lane. I mention that because we used to drive vehicles/F-100 up and down this road when we were really young.
I've always enjoyed this song a lot for my own memories. Growing up country, learning to drive a tractor at 9 or 10, "graduating" to a hay or grain truck then a combine was just how boys were expected to help around the farm/ranch. At 14 we could legally drive grain or corn trucks on those country roads from the fields to the grain elevator in town, then back again for another load. Simple pleasures and memories now of enjoying a cold drink out of the water can on the pickup tailgate to cut the dust from your throat as mom brings out sandwiches, then turn on the combine lights and keep working until it's all cut. Alan has a way to put that seed in my mind and I take it from there!
My dad taught me how to work on engines back in the day. I loved it. Now you have to have special degrees to work on cars because of all the computers and shit. But give me a car made between 60 and 80, I could maintain that car forever. Now you have to take it to a garage or have special training and equipment which is only available to trained individuals. Planned obsolescence at its best ya'll.
I personally think "Like Red on a Rose" and "Little Man" are a couple of great songs that are under-appreciated. "Like Red on a Rose" has a different sound and feel than what he usually does. And I think Allison Krause helped him produce it.
AJ has such a massive catalogue of hits…”Drive”, “Sissy’s Song” and “Remember When” are my 3 favorites. I’ve seen AJ a few times in concert over the years…incredible performer…I’ve seen over 700 live concerts in my life…including Elvis the year before he died [I was 8]…and I put AJ up with the greats.
First time I've seen anyone other than me recommend those two songs.. Especially "Red on a Rose". Great love song. Always gives me chills during those high points.
His 3 girls that you saw are all grown up now. The one lost her husband a few years back to an accident. Alan has a degenerative nerve condition known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. He said it was inherited from his father. It causes him to stumble and lose his balance.
My best friend was going to see Alan perform for the first time around his birthday, but that's when Alan's son-in-law passed, and the concert got canceled.
To me, the song isn't about driving. It's about a kid spending time with his dad, and dad helping his kids gain self-confidence on the way to adulthood.
I learned how to drive in my pawpaw's yellow 1952 Chevrolet Belair, turned me loose in a cow pasture and it was the greatest feeling. He later gave me the old Chevy and it was my first car in high school.
The way you talked about this song, and how Alan presents it, made me think of another song that I think you'd like. It's called Keep It Between The Lines, by Ricky Van Shelton. The 2nd verse takes a twist like a pretzel, from the ideal presented in the 1st verse. It brings tears to some people that can relate to its message.
I loveeee me some Alan Jackson. Please react to "Don't Rock the Jukebox". Or "It's 5:00 Somewhere". So hard to pick favorites cause all his songs are so good!
Listen to his song "Good Time". He set a Guinness world record in the video. Longest line in line dancing. Cool! He does great songs with wonderful stories.
I read that he was asked to write a song for his dad’s funeral…this is that song. When his mom passed same senecio he wrote a beautiful song for her titled Where Her Hear Has Always Been. Well worth a listen.
My dad used to take me on his Kayak and Canoe as a kid and it an experience next to nothing else. It's so fun and relaxing even if paddling is a workout. If your fit or used it, it isn't You guys have got to try it. If you get near the land you'll see all kinds of bugs, fish, weird plants and can even find little secret land areas and a lot of other stuff. It doesn't just have to be a boring floating around the lake u can explore while boating.
This is the first time that I have listened to this song since my Dad passed away. Probably should have had my guard up for how differently it’s gonna hit from now on.
Really enjoy your reactions and always enjoy Alan Jackson, you need to check out one that is a bit different (I've never heard anything like it) "Between The Devil & Me".
Alan Jackson has a song I think you will like its called Talkin' Song Repair Blues it features an cameo by the two guys from the sitcom Yes Dear, the song and the music video is both fun .
Alan is true blue country and humble and very much a family man. A lot of his music is about his life. This song reminds me of my husband and his daddy. His daddy had him driving very young whether it be be dirt bikes, go carts, four wheelers and cars.
My husband is the biggest Alan fan... probably 10 or 11 yrs ago.. my oldest son asked us to go to the DE state Fair to see Alan....I've been born and raised at the Delaware State Fair... First concert I truly remember is Charley Pride... I was 5.. Alan Jackson put on an amazing concert that night...... here's my thing though.. we paid $60 a ticket at the Fair.. we saw him 2 yrs later at the Baltimore Arena..no lie.. $600 a ticket...
You guys really need to do "Small Town Southern Man", and watch the video. Older Marine vet here, and I can say that song really makes me remember my dad, as does this one. Great reaction!
This song is my story, I grew up in a rural area where we all drove cars, trucks, tractors and heavy equipment at an early age. My 2 youngest are 15 & 17 year old daughters and they too have been driving the same kind of things for years. My 15 year old daughter drove a Caterpillar dump truck at age 11, and my 17 year old daughter was teaching adults how to drive a manual shift transmission when she was 12 years old. It was a lot of fun for me back then, and I'm enjoying seeing them learn the way I did. It does make me feel a little sad for folks who didn't get those kinds of opportunities.
I love your reactions. You really understand the artists, the meanings and the song concept. Could you please listen to some Reba McIntyre. Does He Love You with Linda Davis original video is great as well as Fancy. Great voice and storytelling. More Martina McBride too please!!!
Someone needs to take you out crawdaddin' or noodlin' catfish! I was raised in Oklahoma and now live in upstate NY, and have a friend from Manhattan that never owned a car and got his driver's license when he was in his early 30s. There is nothing in my being that can make me imagine not owning a vehicle of some sort.
❤that song. Nice react B&B. MAYBE YOU COULD REACT to YOURE ALL ISEE BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND ME. Or maybe BUICKS TO THE MOON. Oh yeah....little man and THE WAY I AM(seriously deep song. Or maybe GOOD TIME. THANKS for doing these.
A genuinely kind human. Always a nice lookin’ tall drink o’water, as we say in the south, (in those tattered jeans) with an absolutely beautiful family that he treasures. ❤ No one will ever replace him. A sound all his own, easily recognizable voice. Prayers for he and his family and the illness he’s dealing with now. He’ll always be a national treasure. ❤
Exploiting a national tragedy for financial gain is not nice
@@joshuabeall3092 Dumbest comment I've seen in a long time and that's a low bar to get under.
@@joshuabeall3092oh yes, because a tragic poem has NEVER been a part of history EVER.
@@joshuabeall3092 ok Karen
He wrote this when his dad died. He said he didn’t want to write a “crying” song. This is perfect
As the only girl and youngest of four older brothers, when daddy taught me how to drive at 13, in an empty parking lot, this is getting me in my feelings, RIP Daddy ❤😢
More from Alan Jackson!
Livin' on Love
Wanted
Here In The Real World
There Goes
I'll Try

Loosing him is still the biggest void I have in my life. He was just irreplaceable.
I learned to drive in my dad's pasture. A 56 Chevy pickup. I was 12. Got my license at 14.
Alan Jackson is an icon. He has a song called "the older I get". One of the most underrated songs. Yall should check it out. Also "small town southern man", " I'll be the bad guy" "wanted", "living on love" "here in the real world" and "midnight in Montgomery" which is a tribute to Hank Williams
Older I Get is awesome!!!
It's one of my favorites from him too.
My dad taught me and my sisters how to drive in his jeep in the mountains and he used to tell me “slow down Mario” since we lost him in October this song makes me cry every time I hear it
Awwwww…Drive for Daddy Gene…❤😊 Such a great one. (They all are ✌🏼)
This will always remind me of my grandpa. He taught me ro drive young, built race cars, dune buggy's etc... Lots of adventures behind a wheel. Here i sit in an 18 wheeler. Loving every minute 😊

Such a shame young ones today don't get that experience.
This is my favorite song out of all his songs! Remember When is second and everything else after that. ❤
He sings about real life things we all have had happen in our lives that why they get to people they make you look back at least for me Dad teaching me to drive then me teaching my kids how to drive.

Worked a concert in the Marines. Great guy
My favorite songs by the icon Alan Jackson are Remember When, Livin’ on Love, Where Were You, Small Town Southern Man, I’ll Try, Here in the Real World, Drive, She’s Got the Rhythm, The Older I Get, So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore, Monday Morning Church, and I Can't Do That Anymore (recorded by Faith Hill).
This song was number 1 on the country charts in 2002.
I learned to drive on my uncles farm when I was 9. Driving the tractor so the guys could load up the hay bales. Then my older brother taught me ride a dirt bike. Then my first car was a rusted up Datsun with a manual choke and a stick. I was so proud every time I got behind a wheel.
I'm a country boy. I learned how to drive in the sticks. Had a blast on motorcycles out in fields. A great song.
In the country, Daddy's have kids out on back roads learning to drive at 10 or 12 years old & driving tractors before that. LOL As for Alan? His writing & his laid back style are like a warm blanket. Everything about his screams the simple life filled with family, love & homespun living. Love the photo of him in the boat with his dad at the end of the video. For new ones to check out "Summertime blues' & 'Five o'clock somewhere' , 'Gone country' all have fun vibes like Chattahoochee, 'Midnight in Montgomery' is a cool story where he catches a ride with the ghost of Hank Williams Sr., 'I don't even know your name' is a funny one, 'Don't rock the jukebox', 'Chasing that neon rainbow'... so many great songs. Ya can't go wrong.
Here in the Real World is a must. It was his first hit.
Song is close to my heart cause I learned to drive in my dad's 64 Ford like in the song. None better than Alan!.
My daddy let me drive his 1967 Plymouth around an old dirt road on Bearwallow Mountain. Hes been gone a year now so this song takes me back. I totally get it.
My gosh, I am 70. I grew up driving my dads boat and know the feeling. We called the boat Hubs tub. Believe it or not, I learned to drive with an old 1962 Ford truck on a dirt road going to the town dump.
Such memories...
Hopefully my sons remember us together the same way.
Alan Jackson is more down to earth than any celebrity in the history of celebrities... and earth. To this day, he claims to not understand what the big deal is about his singing. He's a self-deprecating man. He's even quite shy.
Praise to the ultimate in songwriting of Country Music!

Another good story song that's fun to listen to is Alan's first single, Chasing That Neon Rainbow.
I've always enjoyed this song a lot for my own memories. Growing up country, learning to drive a tractor at 9 or 10, "graduating" to a hay or grain truck then a combine was just how boys were expected to help around the farm/ranch. At 14 we could legally drive grain or corn trucks on those country roads from the fields to the grain elevator in town, then back again for another load. Simple pleasures and memories now of enjoying a cold drink out of the water can on the pickup tailgate to cut the dust from your throat as mom brings out sandwiches, then turn on the combine lights and keep working until it's all cut. Alan has a way to put that seed in my mind and I take it from there!
Love him,he 30 miles from where I grew up 😊
My dad taught me how to work on engines back in the day. I loved it. Now you have to have special degrees to work on cars because of all the computers and shit. But give me a car made between 60 and 80, I could maintain that car forever. Now you have to take it to a garage or have special training and equipment which is only available to trained individuals. Planned obsolescence at its best ya'll.
I personally think "Like Red on a Rose" and "Little Man" are a couple of great songs that are under-appreciated.
"Like Red on a Rose" has a different sound and feel than what he usually does. And I think Allison Krause helped him produce it.
I'm a huge Alan Jackson fan and I have all of his CDs
AJ has such a massive catalogue of hits…”Drive”, “Sissy’s Song” and “Remember When” are my 3 favorites.
I’ve seen AJ a few times in concert over the years…incredible performer…I’ve seen over 700 live concerts in my life…including Elvis the year before he died [I was 8]…and I put AJ up with the greats.
Red on a rose and sissy's song are two of my favorites from him
First time I've seen anyone other than me recommend those two songs.. Especially "Red on a Rose". Great love song. Always gives me chills during those high points.
That's how we learn to drive back in the day .
His 3 girls that you saw are all grown up now. The one lost her husband a few years back to an accident. Alan has a degenerative nerve condition known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. He said it was inherited from his father. It causes him to stumble and lose his balance.
😢Yes. And it makes me so very sad. But what a treasure trove of music and memories he’s left us. ❤
My best friend was going to see Alan perform for the first time around his birthday, but that's when Alan's son-in-law passed, and the concert got canceled.
How about some “GOOD TIMES”, the music video (GOOD TIME)….line dancing at its finest (funnest). 😊❤
Wanted is such a great song by him. One of my favorites by him
Another of his songs I really like is chasin that neon rainbow
To me, the song isn't about driving. It's about a kid spending time with his dad, and dad helping his kids gain self-confidence on the way to adulthood.
I learned how to drive in my pawpaw's yellow 1952 Chevrolet Belair, turned me loose in a cow pasture and it was the greatest feeling. He later gave me the old Chevy and it was my first car in high school.
Great story!
The way you talked about this song, and how Alan presents it, made me think of another song that I think you'd like. It's called Keep It Between The Lines, by Ricky Van Shelton. The 2nd verse takes a twist like a pretzel, from the ideal presented in the 1st verse. It brings tears to some people that can relate to its message.
Living in uk its a big swing in music but loved it guys ❤❤
Another great song for you to check out is the older I get...very good too!
I loveeee me some Alan Jackson. Please react to "Don't Rock the Jukebox". Or "It's 5:00 Somewhere". So hard to pick favorites cause all his songs are so good!
Listen to his song "Good Time". He set a Guinness world record in the video. Longest line in line dancing. Cool! He does great songs with wonderful stories.
I read that he was asked to write a song for his dad’s funeral…this is that song. When his mom passed same senecio he wrote a beautiful song for her titled Where Her Hear Has Always Been. Well worth a listen.
Where her hear?
Should be HEART…I NEEDTO PROOF READ, I GUESS. SORRY
My dad used to take me on his Kayak and Canoe as a kid and it an experience next to nothing else. It's so fun and relaxing even if paddling is a workout. If your fit or used it, it isn't You guys have got to try it. If you get near the land you'll see all kinds of bugs, fish, weird plants and can even find little secret land areas and a lot of other stuff. It doesn't just have to be a boring floating around the lake u can explore while boating.
Love Alan Jackson!
This is the first time that I have listened to this song since my Dad passed away. Probably should have had my guard up for how differently it’s gonna hit from now on.
Really enjoy your reactions and always enjoy Alan Jackson, you need to check out one that is a bit different (I've never heard anything like it) "Between The Devil & Me".
Alan is aces.
Love Alan
I love this song ❤ sweet and nostalgic but not sad.
Ah, those special times spent with Daddy! Oh, yeah, when he let me drive! Thank you, Alan, for the memories!
Love Alan Jackson react to Chasin Neon Rainbow is another good one ❤
Alan Jackson has a song I think you will like its called Talkin' Song Repair Blues it features an cameo by the two guys from the sitcom Yes Dear, the song and the music video is both fun .
10:51 talking about driving with Alan Jackson a song of his to check out is “The Talkin’ Song Repair Blues”.
Seems it's High Time you did his "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" featuring James Buffett...
Alan Jackson has always been my favorite Country singer its a great song love it ♥️🥰💕 so beautiful ♥️
Alan is true blue country and humble and very much a family man. A lot of his music is about his life. This song reminds me of my husband and his daddy. His daddy had him driving very young whether it be be dirt bikes, go carts, four wheelers and cars.
that was lovely... 🥰
I love this song!!
Your daddy said your Mama liked this song lucky us now you here grace amen
My husband is the biggest Alan fan... probably 10 or 11 yrs ago.. my oldest son asked us to go to the DE state Fair to see Alan....I've been born and raised at the Delaware State Fair... First concert I truly remember is Charley Pride... I was 5.. Alan Jackson put on an amazing concert that night...... here's my thing though.. we paid $60 a ticket at the Fair.. we saw him 2 yrs later at the Baltimore Arena..no lie.. $600 a ticket...
He has tons of hits. I have really come to love his song So You Don't Have To Love Me Anymore
You guys really need to do "Small Town Southern Man", and watch the video. Older Marine vet here, and I can say that song really makes me remember my dad, as does this one. Great reaction!
Oh yeah. P.S. GOOD TIME might just get you out your chairs dancing along. It's thatgood
This song is my story, I grew up in a rural area where we all drove cars, trucks, tractors and heavy equipment at an early age. My 2 youngest are 15 & 17 year old daughters and they too have been driving the same kind of things for years. My 15 year old daughter drove a Caterpillar dump truck at age 11, and my 17 year old daughter was teaching adults how to drive a manual shift transmission when she was 12 years old. It was a lot of fun for me back then, and I'm enjoying seeing them learn the way I did. It does make me feel a little sad for folks who didn't get those kinds of opportunities.
I love your reactions. You really understand the artists, the meanings and the song concept. Could you please listen to some Reba McIntyre. Does He Love You with Linda Davis original video is great as well as Fancy. Great voice and storytelling. More Martina McBride too please!!!
Not enough people react to this Thankyou!
Our pleasure!
He wrote this song when his daddy Gene died
Alan Jackson /Pop a Top
Y’all would enjoy and learn a lot about “our” lives in:
Brooks and Dunn - Red Dirt Road
Good ol country music
Its time for you to do a reaction to SHINEDOWN... Crow and the Butterfly would be a good start..
This came out around the same time my dad passed.
Someone needs to take you out crawdaddin' or noodlin' catfish!
I was raised in Oklahoma and now live in upstate NY, and have a friend from Manhattan that never owned a car and got his driver's license when he was in his early 30s.
There is nothing in my being that can make me imagine not owning a vehicle of some sort.
❤that song. Nice react B&B. MAYBE YOU COULD REACT to YOURE ALL ISEE BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND ME. Or maybe BUICKS TO THE MOON. Oh yeah....little man and THE WAY I AM(seriously deep song. Or maybe GOOD TIME. THANKS for doing these.
Listen to Alan Jackson (It’s 5 a clock Somewhere)
Those were really his 3 daughters in the video.

How about saying a prayer for Alan Jackson he has a degenerative nerve condition that's costing him the ability to sing and play guitar
