It’s just past midnight, and it’s another sleepless night. My dad died in 1997 of cancer, at the age of 82 , and when I was 45. There hasn’t been a day since his death , that I haven’t thought of him. Tonight in my sleep deprived stupor , I thought of him again, and this song. Dad used to prop me up on his lap to steer our old 1939 Chevy Pickup truck, back to town from the farm. Allan Jackson, tonight, brought that precious memory , crashing back again into my 72 year old head. Beautiful song , Mr Jackson! Love you daddy!😢
Know what you mean, lost my grandfather who was my father figure since I was 14 months old, now I'm 19, he passed away about a month ago. Miss him more everyday. The moments you have with your father will always hold a special place in your heart!!
God bless you sir. Awesome memories you have and a great dad. Miss mine also and think of him every time I hear this. My car was a 85 Chevy Impala. Dang.. what good memories.👍💯😢
When he said it was painted red, stripe was white god it takes me back wasn’t a boat but a bronco and that floor board would get hot on my feet and sometimes the key would fall out of the ignition while I was driving because it was wallerd out but god those were the good ol days ❤
I’m 16 years old. Recently heard this on the radio. My dad knew every single word to it. Never really hit me until I listened to the lyrics. The bond he and my grandpa had was perfect. Now I listen to it and relate it to me and my dad. I love this song
🙏♥️♥️♥️Beautiful work and beautiful 😍 song 🎶 for beautiful 😍 memories of childhood memories growing up 🔝 by Alan Jackson TH-cam channel thank you 🙏 ♥️😍🎼
One of my favourites love alan jackson lusten to him everyday country music has so much more more to offer i grew up with country and have very fond memories
Hola Jose! You're right! I'm (New Orleans/Slidell) Louisiana & he's a longtime favorite down this way too!! ....Way down yonder on the Chatahoochie! It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie....💪🏻🤠
@@richardpetzoldt5284 there are a lot of great alan jackson songs. but i am biased. i like bologna or baloney and i hate phoney baloney. i remembered when the world stopped turning on 9-11-2001 when the twin towers crashed and burned from the tallest buildings in new york to a pile of rubble not very high. everyone above were the planes crashed ended in the hands of god. i might be mistaken most of people below the planes impact zone survived with the exception of the first responders trying to rescue survivors and quenching the fire. it was not easy no working elevators and the building was not engineered to take jumbo jets full of jet fuel crashing in to the twin towers and it took 10 years to build. now look at the freedom tower took 20 years to build from the subground and that bathtub surrounding block that came crashing also. ( a hotel and citigroup's smith barney building and possibly more. i know enough to be dangerous and i do not know it all. like alan i do not know the difference between turkey where there are radar stations supporting nato peace keeping. we were friends with iran while the shaw of iran was in charge. it broke down when the aitolla Komeni took charge. iraq was another mess with Saddam hussien and the fires of the oil fields and the potential of weapons of mass confusion and destruction. way to much misinformation. barak obama's team of military got bin laden. smoking joe biden got the talle-me-banana number 2 man shot down dead with a drone. hellava mess in the middle east.
My dad never took time to give me these memories. Thank God for my grandaddy giving them to me though. I'm 27 now with a 3 month old, and I cant wait to give him these memories as he grows.
Eldest grandson lived with me his last year in high school -- at his request -- and, also at his request, I taught him to drive, helped him study the DPS handbook, and took him to take his test. He aced it and was, and still is, a very good driver.
@@Saltyoven Some shit gots a good beat but I dont feeli like listening to womanizers 24/7 i actually like the srory thats comes witha song and Rap music turned into drug user music instead of drug dealer😂
Hello all 👋Here Jan 11 2025 listening to Alan with my mom who is on Hospice care. It's been a crazy week!! My Dad passed away Wednesday morning and now Mom has been on hospice care since yesterday. Music has helped so much through all this Sat with Dad and played music for him also. Life is precious man!! Be kind and humble and spend time with the one's you love❤️🙏
Will never forget my childhood that actually made me happy and smile wish I could feel that same way again and trust please once again that would be a dream come true
I absolutely love that I am not the only one here because of Max Fewtrell's live stream 🥰 Fair play Lando Norris does have a pretty good varied taste in music. I so hope we get to hear this on his radio in Austin! 😆
Daddy’s been gone for five years. For me this song brings back memories of sitting on Daddy’s lap and steering his old John Deere model M…. and getting to drive the old boat. Yesterday I was clearing snow with a borrowed backhoe. I had my 8-year-old sit on my lap and operate the bucket and then steer it once around the parking lot. The look of pure joy on his face will always be with me. He said “I’m gonna store this in my brain forever!” I know that once I’m gone he’ll have that memory. It’s not that often that you know you’re making one of those forever memories for your kid.
My dad passed back in March at 87. He was a veteran, honorable and hard-working. Special days when he let me drive the boat and this song it's hard... Y'all would have liked him alot!❤️👊🇺🇸
My dad played this song all the time and I could never find it until this day and I’m so happy that I did he died 3 years ago and I’m gonna cry because I have been trying to find this song for 2 years now
This song makes me think of things I haven''t thought of in ages, but they're memories that will never be forgotten. I remeber as a kid,, my dad took me to the empty racetrack parking lot in grampas old car after he passed away. I couldn't have been more than 9 or 10 years old, and in that big empty parking lot, dad let me drive grampas old Impala. That was a lot of car for a little kid., and i never knew why dad did it, but imagine he had a similar memory with him and grampa. I got 4 kids of my own now,, and there was no way i was letting them.learn to drive from my wife.. I've taught all of them to ride a bike and put three of four on the road now.. One of the greatest treasures of my life as a dad to make those memories with my kids. Alan Jackson is the greatest IMO. Simple, God fearing, faithful family man, and an absolute treasure for using music to help us polish the memories of our lives into priceless gems. God bless Alan Jackson.
GOD knows you're tired.Don't give up.Your breakthrough is just around the corner.You're transitioning into a new season!You'll end the year strong & victorious in the Name of Jesus
@@HeritageRoad994 years, are you kidding me?? That's how long I've been missing my father too! He battled pancreatic cancer for 6 years, and he passed in April 2020 at age 61! He is truly missed!
Just an old 1994 Ford Escort sedan, 4 cylinder 5 speed on that trans, a young boy can't replace those childhood moments, just a dusty road at the outside of the village but there grandpa made me drive😊 thanful to the good Lord for having him alive still😇
I was 12 when my Daddy let me drive his 18 wheeler. I could reach the clutch but he had to change the gears. I went 1 mile but I thought I conquered the world. ❤
That's great. thanks for the love and support i hope you keep listening and watching my videos and God bless you.. send me your email address so I'll text you
This song is about 20 years old but still brings tears to my eyes cause of its powerful lyrics and melody. People just dont make these kinda songs about the people who gave them all the happiness.
Hits even closer when he is a home town hero. The places Alan Jackson mentions in his songs are testaments of my childhood and growing up in Newnan Georgia.
Listen, y’all…. First of all, when the f*** is TH-cam going to follow suit and create a “heart/love” reaction to comments??? And videos in general I guess. 🙄🥹 BUT…. I’m not from the south; in fact I’m born and raised smack-dab in the Midwest: La Crosse, WI. The specific locations mentioned in this song, I’ve never been to but I replace them with the ones that the sentiment of this song sings about. Along the Mississippi! Ever heard of The World’s Largest 6 Pack of Beer? That’s my town. My ancestors started it. (Look up Zeisler 1800’s if you want to know more!) but the sentiment of this song is beautiful, all around; through and through; and the way I see it, regardless of the relationship you have with your Daddio, if this song reminds you of him, that’s some true love right there. Although it stings, I rejoice in my ability to cherish the memories when I choose to acknowledge their pain & beauty. There’s just something about being 30 and remembering the “good old days” when life was different and you were 10 but your dad would let you drive the Johnson or the Ford and you were just wild and free. I thank you and apologize to anyone who has read this far; sometimes I have a couple too many drinks, put my headphones in, and dive balls first down memory lane and leave comments like this on videos like these bc the chances of anyone seeing them are SO SLIM that i don’t worry about a charged conversation. Also, If you ARE reading this, and you’re feeling some type of way, I see you & I feel you. 🙏♥️ Alright that will be all. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart if you actually read that. And if you are and you wanna talk, I’m here. I hope you know it’s nothing but true, sincere love my friends 🙏♥️♥️ ♥️
@Alan Jackson Hi Alan, l am from Alberta Canada. Have loved your sweet voice for twenty eight years.l am still a very active 80 year old. But would love to get to know the man behind that so familiar voice. Will always listento your music.❤❤🙏🙏
Hi Charlotte, thanks for the nice comments and for the words of encouragement. You seems to be one of my real fans. If you have anything to share with me about your stories or anything, you can always contact me here and we can talk better. .. 609-293-0116... have a great day and weekend ahead.
My dad taught me how to drive in 1980 when I was 8 in his 1962 Ford truck with a 3 speed manual on the column. We went to an uncompleted subdivision (streets in, no houses yet). Thanks dad.
I would sit on my dad's lap and steer the truck Dad was sending me to the store at 15. 3 on the column. Man the good ol days. Where a kid could drive with no lic or insurance, The 80's rock on.
My dad passed away 3 years ago from alzheimers/dementia. This song reminds me of when he taught me to drive. He probably didn't remember it at the end, but still one of my fondest memories. This song hits differently now, and always brings a tear to my eyes.
Im 13 yrs old and my dad was a veteran for the United States Army and he died recently on a motorcycle bc of some lady that was on her phone and i miss him alot i have his army suit in my closet
I was a teenager when this song was released. I have a girl and a boy now with a beautiful wife. I let them drive everything we own all the time. Gives me chills to think that maybe one day they will remember those times when km gone
My dad had an Oldsmobile station wagon wood panel. Let me drive to Hinckley Casino down dirt road they used to have. What a memory one of the few songs that get you emotional. Still nice to have him around.
I lost my dad in January of this year. My dad taught me how to drive down and old country road in his old Ford f-150 that had rusted floorboards where you could look down and see the road, he covered that with plywood eventually so you couldn't see the road anymore. Anytime I hear this song I think of him and smile and remember those warm summer days of him letting me sit on his lap and steer, then eventually he let me drive by myself. Thank you Alan Jackson. We loved to listen to your music while driving down those old country roads ❤️

I'm 60 years old. I grew up in Metro Atlanta but still very Country. This song chokes me up and makes me fight back tears every time I hear it. Excellent job Alan Jackson.
This is an example of poetry where the person is talking about something simple but everyone knows and feels he's talking about something much bigger. One of my all time favorite songs that regularly chokes me up.
What a heartfelt tribute to your Daddy Gene. I love the fact that you decided to record an upbeat song for him. Although I would love to hear the first song you wrote for him too. I bet it is beautiful as well. Nobody can pen lyrics like you do. You're such a blessing to my life. Thank you,Darlin',for all your very being has given me!💙😉
It seems so long ago since this was on the radio but I remember listening to this with my dad when I was just a kid and man it takes me back I love my dad I hope he gets to see my kids
Im not a big country fan but this is one of the only songs ever to make me cry. It doesn't make me think of my parents. It makes me think of my kids and hope they have good memories with me when they are older. And yup I cried halfway through typing this lol
My dad used to tell me how this song always made him think of us when we were young and we'd sit on his lap, steering the wheel... I now think of my own 3 girls as they get older. It's sad how time just flies past.
That's great. thanks for the love and support i hope you keep listening and watching my videos and God bless you.. send me your email address so I'll text you
love your music Alan, a true country legend! Sad to hear about your health condition though legends never die, you will always be a king of country brother!
My dad passed this Tuesday and when we were kids he would always take us out to the country to drive. I will cherish those memories forever. I love you, Daddy!!
Barb Bunker I just lost my grandpa and I had heard this song a million times until it was played at his funeral and it hit me so hard. I wish I could have went out on the boat with him one more time.
That's great. thanks for the love and support i hope you keep listening and watching my videos and God bless you.. send me your email address so I'll text you
I'm French and just discovered this song yesterday at the amusement park. I love this song cause it's deep and also real for my own childhood. Thank you Alan Jackson! I hope more songs like this cross the Atlantic!
First time I heard Alan Jackson on the radio in over a year. Last time I listened to him was in the hospice. My dad and I listened to his whole greatest hits CD right before my dad passed away.
I've been a single dad now for 15 of my daughters 16 years I taught her how to driver in the mall parking lots late at night I still remember the looK in her eyes when I said ok drive up to the stop sign and take me to Wendy's and let's get a burger and she said dad DO YOU THINK IM READY. I JUST LOOKED AT HER AND SMILED AND SAID YES MA'AM AND READY FOR ALOT MORE IVE GOT CANCER NOW AHE WILL BE ON HER OWN SOONER THAN I WANTED HER TO BE BUT THANK TO GREAT SONG WRITERS LIKE ALAN JACKSON LIFES BUMPS AND SCRAPES JUST DONT SEEM TO HURT QUITE SO BAD IM GOING TO MISS YOuBABY GIRL PULL UP THOSE OLD FILES ALAN WAS TALKING ABOUT AND WHEN YOU DO KNOW YOUR DADDY AND ALL THE DADDYS YOU FINE FOLKS HAVE BEEN.... SPEAKING ABOUT .....WELL KNOW WE ALL ARE SMILIN JUST AS BIG AND PROUD OF EACH OF YOU AND WE MISS YALL TO
My dad use to bring me to empty parking lots when I was 8-9 and let me drive his car. He passed away when I was 10 this song has so much meaning to me. I’m 28 now and a father of two beautiful children and am now creating the same great memories my father left me with. We bought a 16ft 80s fiber glass boat and fixed her up this summer and let the kids drive. I get emotional hearing this song because it reminds me of the past future and present.
This reminds me of my father to he passed away a few days ago . We use to go fishing and he would let me drive the boat . And I think now that I would be smiling bigger than a hero back then with him .
I have played this atleast three times a month for my oldest daughter. one day it came on the radio, and she said: "Dad, is that you?" My heart skipped a beat
Wrarrl my dad had lost his dad and this song has been on each Lindeau that is the Lindeau man pass down name I get really emotional every time I hear it
See, this is country music. It's a song that tells a story. A powerful, emotional story that people can relate to. It may not be everyone's jam, but how can anyone not appreciate that. The volume gets cranked whenever this song comes on. 👍
Lord im 40 years old, this song is so so beautiful. My father thought me how to drive in an old 1982 Toyota Camry when i was 19. He and I dont get along so well now but I will alway always be so thankful for him teaching me to drive. Love you papa ❤❤❤❤
Or the memories we wish we’d gotten the chance to have. My daddy passed when I was eleven, but I’m so thankful others’ have these memories. I can picture it in my mind, and he’d have been great at teaching me. ❤
It’s just past midnight, and it’s another sleepless night. My dad died in 1997 of cancer, at the age of 82 , and when I was 45. There hasn’t been a day since his death , that I haven’t thought of him. Tonight in my sleep deprived stupor , I thought of him again, and this song. Dad used to prop me up on his lap to steer our old 1939 Chevy Pickup truck, back to town from the farm. Allan Jackson, tonight, brought that precious memory , crashing back again into my 72 year old head. Beautiful song , Mr Jackson! Love you daddy!😢
Know what you mean, lost my grandfather who was my father figure since I was 14 months old, now I'm 19, he passed away about a month ago. Miss him more everyday. The moments you have with your father will always hold a special place in your heart!!

Nobody needs anyone ive had nobody my entire life and ive became successful by myself.
you can NEVER give enough LOVE
It’s specifically about how an involved dad affects his children. Don’t try to cheat it. Fathers are just as important as mothers
I saw Alan tear up while singing this in concert. This is why there's nothing comparable to Country Music. It's real music about real life things.

My dad had me driving at 5.. many night at 8 he would be passed out I would get us home.. now I drive a big rig all across the country
I think I was 10 when my dad put me in his lap and let me drive his truck. He's a trucker too. It was at night of course. It was awesome.
Good dads will always have your back wheather you go a mile or you go the distance .
Sometimes a Dad just shows how much He respects and Loves His Daghters and They take strength from His Love.
This song made me cry 🥺❤️
Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world.
thanks mate o7o7
Good luck too
This song is about 20 years old but still brings tears to my eyes cause of its powerful lyrics and melody. People just dont make these kinda songs about the people who gave them all the happiness.
Hits even closer when he is a home town hero. The places Alan Jackson mentions in his songs are testaments of my childhood and growing up in Newnan Georgia.
Me too. I had tears when I heard it on the radio and still today it moves me. My dad let me drive boats and cars as a kid.
Listen, y’all…. First of all, when the f*** is TH-cam going to follow suit and create a “heart/love” reaction to comments??? And videos in general I guess. 🙄🥹
BUT….
I’m not from the south; in fact I’m born and raised smack-dab in the Midwest: La Crosse, WI. The specific locations mentioned in this song, I’ve never been to but I replace them with the ones that the sentiment of this song sings about. Along the Mississippi! Ever heard of The World’s Largest 6 Pack of Beer? That’s my town. My ancestors started it. (Look up Zeisler 1800’s if you want to know more!) but the sentiment of this song is beautiful, all around; through and through; and the way I see it, regardless of the relationship you have with your Daddio, if this song reminds you of him, that’s some true love right there. Although it stings, I rejoice in my ability to cherish the memories when I choose to acknowledge their pain & beauty.
There’s just something about being 30 and remembering the “good old days” when life was different and you were 10 but your dad would let you drive the Johnson or the Ford and you were just wild and free.
I thank you and apologize to anyone who has read this far; sometimes I have a couple too many drinks, put my headphones in, and dive balls first down memory lane and leave comments like this on videos like these bc the chances of anyone seeing them are SO SLIM that i don’t worry about a charged conversation. Also, If you ARE reading this, and you’re feeling some type of way, I see you & I feel you. 🙏♥️
Alright that will be all. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart if you actually read that. And if you are and you wanna talk, I’m here.
I hope you know it’s nothing but true, sincere love my friends 🙏♥️♥️ ♥️
Another country song I can think of in the same category as this IMO is He walked on water by Randy Travis.
A beautiful song to ease tensions
Alan loves those girls so much. You can tell when he talks about them. He is a proud father. They are also very proud of him. They are blessed
@Alan Jackson Hi Alan, l am from Alberta Canada. Have loved your sweet voice for twenty eight years.l am still a very active 80 year old. But would love to get to know the man behind that so familiar voice. Will always listento your music.❤❤🙏🙏
@Alan Jackson Hello Alan. I am from Alberta Canada. I have been a fan for many years. Love your sweet voice. I only write what l feel.
I like this song to by Alan Jackson and cool video.
This song brings back the pleasant memories of me and my dad. He passed away from cancer ten and a half years ago. He will always be in my heart

I’m sorry that you both lost your dads. I hope you have memories of driving😊
My dad taught me how to drive in 1980 when I was 8 in his 1962 Ford truck with a 3 speed manual on the column. We went to an uncompleted subdivision (streets in, no houses yet). Thanks dad.
I would sit on my dad's lap and steer the truck Dad was sending me to the store at 15. 3 on the column. Man the good ol days. Where a kid could drive with no lic or insurance, The 80's rock on.
I learned on a '64 with 3 on the column in '79. Fun times......
3 on the tree baby
You can play it forever

My dad passed away 3 years ago from alzheimers/dementia. This song reminds me of when he taught me to drive. He probably didn't remember it at the end, but still one of my fondest memories. This song hits differently now, and always brings a tear to my eyes.
This song will never grow old! For all those fathers out there, here’s to you 🍻!
Im 13 yrs old and my dad was a veteran for the United States Army and he died recently on a motorcycle bc of some lady that was on her phone and i miss him alot i have his army suit in my closet

I was a teenager when this song was released. I have a girl and a boy now with a beautiful wife. I let them drive everything we own all the time. Gives me chills to think that maybe one day they will remember those times when km gone
My dad had an Oldsmobile station wagon wood panel. Let me drive to Hinckley Casino down dirt road they used to have. What a memory one of the few songs that get you emotional. Still nice to have him around.
I lost my dad in January of this year. My dad taught me how to drive down and old country road in his old Ford f-150 that had rusted floorboards where you could look down and see the road, he covered that with plywood eventually so you couldn't see the road anymore.
Anytime I hear this song I think of him and smile and remember those warm summer days of him letting me sit on his lap and steer, then eventually he let me drive by myself.
Thank you Alan Jackson. We loved to listen to your music while driving down those old country roads ❤️

Well welcome to the club, this song the epitomy of fatherhood. Anyone have a Kleenex?
I'm 60 years old. I grew up in Metro Atlanta but still very Country. This song chokes me up and makes me fight back tears every time I hear it. Excellent job Alan Jackson.
God I would love to have a CD of Alan Jackson!!
He’s got the BEST! Been listening to this one yesterday @ today !
This is an example of poetry where the person is talking about something simple but everyone knows and feels he's talking about something much bigger. One of my all time favorite songs that regularly chokes me up.
I have 2 young boys and I can't express how much this makes me smile everytime I listen to this song
What a heartfelt tribute to your Daddy Gene. I love the fact that you decided to record an upbeat song for him. Although I would love to hear the first song you wrote for him too.
I bet it is beautiful as well. Nobody can pen lyrics like you do. You're such a blessing to my life. Thank you,Darlin',for all your very being has given me!💙😉
You're blessed
Indeed Sir making me smile and remember when
I haven’t heard this song in probably 15 years, for some reason it just popped into my head today. All the memories it brings back give me goosebumps.
It seems so long ago since this was on the radio but I remember listening to this with my dad when I was just a kid and man it takes me back I love my dad I hope he gets to see my kids
Alan Jackson is a Great country singer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same happened to me

Im not a big country fan but this is one of the only songs ever to make me cry. It doesn't make me think of my parents. It makes me think of my kids and hope they have good memories with me when they are older. And yup I cried halfway through typing this lol
if this made you cry, then I know that you gonna be a good dad
It make me think of both
Watch Grown men don't cry by Samuel Timothy DAgastino McGraw. Yes he is half Italian from his mom.

Drive is one of my favorite Alan Jackson songs. It brings back memories whenever I listen to this song.❤❤❤

The world has rarely seen a songwriter as talented as Alan Jackson. Period.

True
Randy Travis is just as good if not better . There both very talented

This is my song.this is how grewup ❤😊
Always love ❤❤❤❤
My dad used to tell me how this song always made him think of us when we were young and we'd sit on his lap, steering the wheel... I now think of my own 3 girls as they get older. It's sad how time just flies past.
He has never made a bad song that I know of Alan Jackson is a great song writer with great song 🎵
Always love ❤❤❤❤
Alan Jackson is my favorite country singer.
Alan, thank you for everything. I love you

Such an underrated country song puts a tear in my eye every time I hear it. A childhood memory that will never be forgotten!
love your music Alan, a true country legend! Sad to hear about your health condition though legends never die, you will always be a king of country brother!
My dad passed this Tuesday and when we were kids he would always take us out to the country to drive. I will cherish those memories forever. I love you, Daddy!!
Merry Christmas, and happy late birthday.
this makes me tear up, I think about my Dad letting me drive the boat or teach me to drive a car, glad I still have him
Barb Bunker I just lost my grandpa and I had heard this song a million times until it was played at his funeral and it hit me so hard. I wish I could have went out on the boat with him one more time.
I don't have my dad anymore 6 years without him
We had the same boat with a red and white 56’ Johnson 30 hp... Dad has been gone since 2,002....Memories...are we all making good ones ?
your dad didn't yell at you the whole time?
I'm still a dad and my kids play this song when we drive because I taught them how to drive my truck
Reminds me of my Dad. Miss you Dad thanks for the love.
That's great. thanks for the love and support i hope you keep listening and watching my videos and God bless you.. send me your email address so I'll text you
Great tribute to every father. Every time I hear this song I think about my dad teaching me how to drive in a pear orchard in Grandview Texas
I miss my dad RIP man 🥺❤️
I'm French and just discovered this song yesterday at the amusement park. I love this song cause it's deep and also real for my own childhood. Thank you Alan Jackson! I hope more songs like this cross the Atlantic!
First time I heard Alan Jackson on the radio in over a year. Last time I listened to him was in the hospice. My dad and I listened to his whole greatest hits CD right before my dad passed away.
I've been a single dad now for 15 of my daughters 16 years I taught her how to driver in the mall parking lots late at night I still remember the looK in her eyes when I said ok drive up to the stop sign and take me to Wendy's and let's get a burger and she said dad DO YOU
THINK IM READY.
I JUST LOOKED AT HER AND SMILED AND SAID YES MA'AM AND READY FOR ALOT MORE
IVE GOT CANCER NOW AHE WILL BE ON HER OWN SOONER THAN I WANTED HER TO BE
BUT THANK TO GREAT SONG WRITERS LIKE ALAN JACKSON LIFES BUMPS AND SCRAPES JUST DONT SEEM TO HURT QUITE SO BAD IM GOING TO MISS YOuBABY GIRL PULL UP THOSE OLD FILES ALAN WAS TALKING ABOUT AND WHEN YOU DO KNOW YOUR DADDY AND ALL THE DADDYS YOU FINE FOLKS HAVE BEEN....

Alan is so good at painting a picture and showing memories through his music
Awesome song. My Dad let us drive an pick in the back acres of our property. Absolutely loved it. ❤ I sure do miss him😢
More love less Ego ❤❤❤❤
If you have fond memories of your parents and children of your own, this is one of the greatest songs of all time.
My dad use to bring me to empty parking lots when I was 8-9 and let me drive his car. He passed away when I was 10 this song has so much meaning to me. I’m 28 now and a father of two beautiful children and am now creating the same great memories my father left me with. We bought a 16ft 80s fiber glass boat and fixed her up this summer and let the kids drive. I get emotional hearing this song because it reminds me of the past future and present.
This reminds me of my father to he passed away a few days ago . We use to go fishing and he would let me drive the boat . And I think now that I would be smiling bigger than a hero back then with him .
Wow... sad
Good on you brother they will keep those memories just like u did with your dad.
Wow, im sorry to hear about the loss of your dad at such a young age. You were fortunate to have had a great man as a father. Keep his legacy going!
My dad did the same he died when I was 15 now I’m 20 I inherited his 01 Ford F-150 that he taught me to drive in
Who's here in 2025?
Right here brother
🙋🏻

Count me in bro.
I'm here! Alan Jackson is the only country artist I listen to. Peace, Love, and Light to ALL!✌️💜🌟
I Miss My Dad, this song hits deep❤
I get emotional every time i hear this song
I think of my dad, love my old man
Reminds me too of my dad taught me to druve just before he passed away rip dad
My grandpa and I listened to this all the time while we were tractor hunting
Reminds me of my childhood in the 90s with my dad every time
I know and I never owned a boat
I have played this atleast three times a month for my oldest daughter. one day it came on the radio, and she said: "Dad, is that you?" My heart skipped a beat
tell me how life was back then prompeius i am 14

See, this is country music. It's a song that tells a story. A powerful, emotional story that people can relate to. It may not be everyone's jam, but how can anyone not appreciate that.
The volume gets cranked whenever this song comes on. 👍
Thanks for being a loyal fan and supporting my music ❤️🎶🙏
@@alenjackson8657🙏♥️🙏
Lord im 40 years old, this song is so so beautiful. My father thought me how to drive in an old 1982 Toyota Camry when i was 19. He and I dont get along so well now but I will alway always be so thankful for him teaching me to drive. Love you papa ❤❤❤❤
We don't look for old songs, we look for the memories they carry🤩😍
Truth. I like this.
Oh that’s good stuff
Or the memories we wish we’d gotten the chance to have. My daddy passed when I was eleven, but I’m so thankful others’ have these memories. I can picture it in my mind, and he’d have been great at teaching me. ❤
Get the chills when I hear Alan Jackson sing this song. It's one I'm sure many of us can relate to.
Thanks for being a loyal fan and supporting my music ❤️🎶🙏

Lando and Max bring me here. Glad i came!
One of the greatest songs to come out of that generation of country
This is a great song for the memory of Alan Jackson’s dad Joseph Eugene Jackson and I love this song by Alan Jackson. R.I.P. Joseph Eugene Jackson.
