to me this song is about a car not a girl ... 66 toranado . the front fenders looked like torpedoes and the rear of the car fell off to nothing , in it's day it was aerodynamic without meaning to or even knowing it , but i loved it , did a frame up rebuild over time and it was my best hobby , the wife is still jealous after 25years , hehe
I met Troy Gentry at a county fair in South Bend, IN before he played that evening. He was enjoying the carnival rides with one of his children. One of the most humble people you'd ever meet. I wish Nashville would bring this type of country music back.
My grandmother just passed away two hours ago, she absolutely loved this song and I don't know what else to do so I'm going for a drive and jamming to this...RIP Grandma Kitty, we love you so much.
My husband passed away from cancer and he loved anything to do with cars and racing. I cannot listen to this song without thinking about him. RIP Frankie…
This song, especially the begging. My mom passed at the young age of 45. Can’t not think of her with this song. I remember blasting this at a young age with her. Please pray.
RIP Troy. After MG's run, Country music went to total ess - H- eye- tea. Thank God for Classic Country and Classic Rock ! Haven't listened to a "new" cuntry song in 5 or 6 years, literally. Its gone forever.
One of my favorite songs that Montgomery Gentry sings! Two awesome voices but unfortunately we lost one! Troy Gentry you’ll always be so loved & so missed by many! It’s still so hard to know you’re no longer with us! RIP Troy Gentry!❤️❤️❤️
Listening to Montgomery Gentry songs gives me chills, I feel like they're actually sharing a story that means so much to them with me and I love that. I'm so proud to be one of their fans.
Someone bitched an moaned because they took a song that was Kenny's Chess. And redone it I don't know if it was for word for word but that's just it,every country singer has done it and made it there own and this Band made you lots of times FEEL the song just the way they sing it and move to it..I hate that people all they want to do is bitch an moan about something like this boys that can sing there heart out!! Just like the whole story with the Bear Troy killed it was "so big" I didn't even know Troy killed a bear til after he passed away I mean seriously that's what we as Human Beings do when a person dies is bad mouth them its sad that's part of the reason this Country is going down the drain people don't care and are heartless that they NEED to get God in there life in a hurry also because you don't know when its your time to go home or to hell if you don't believe and don't start acting like a Human Being and stop bitching and moaning and bad mouthing good people that are no longer here !!! Yea it was a sad thing Troy did am I behind hind killing tame animals hell no but hell those kinds of people that are bitching an moaning and bad mouthing Troy for what he did in his past and for killing a bear probably don't want even deer killed !!! And I believe he might had done the bear a favor BEARS are NOT made to be tamed they have a wild side do I believe for 1 second a BEAR can be really Tame Hell No they aren't friendly animals for crying out loud and people need to get that through there damn head !!! We all have a past we wish we could change but we CAN'T nobody can but only God/Jesus !!!
Lost my wife 6 yrs ago.. song is wat i needed but ya can't run from the hurt it out runs speed or anything else but time heals ya Mr. Gentry you are loved and missed by so many hearts n souls you touched GOD SPEED TROY!
RIP&L Troy! Thank you, for being an awesome person, friend, musician... and thank you for being a huge part of the soundtrack that is the background of my life.. past and present.
I played this video for my 5 year old son shortly after my ex left me. Over the next few months he asked me to play it again lots of times. He liked having me explain the visual metaphors in the video. "Daddy, why is the pretty lady following him?" "She isn't following him. She used to be his girlfriend, but she doesn't want to be his girlfriend anymore, and she went away. He's just remembering her and he feels sad. He doesn't want to feel sad anymore, so he's trying to run away from his feelings. But he can't run away from his feelings, because your feelings are inside your head and they always go with you."
don't ever be afraid of who you are, black, white, yellow or green. where pretty much all the same inside. god just gave some of you black boys a bigger baloney then he did us white guys, but use it wisely weedhopper, there's a bunch of that poison taint out there in the world and don't forget to tarp that load unless she's giving you some skull lmfao. good luck my friend. hit me up sometime when u want, or if you want.
All I can say is these guys jammed and had a big influence in my life !! Every song puts me in another time and place. I want to say thx Eddie. T-Roy R.I.P. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Eddie has lived down the road from me for years. It's normal to see him at the grocery store, pumping gas or eating in the restaurant. A really great guy!
Thank you Troy Montgomery for getting me through my military career and also deployments. I use to listen to you with my dad when I was little and now through my deployments.
My FAVORITE song of theirs. I was blessed to see them perform this live in concert 3 times. Ride the wind Troy. Just goes to show, never know when the Good Lord is gonna call us to the front office........
RIP Troy. Speed... Reminds me of my "Dear John" letter received after 4 months >IN COUNTRY< & 10,000 miles away... 50 years ago. What hurts you, can only make you stronger... Amen.
Who ever put this on here, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I gave been looking for this for a very long time!!!!!!!!!! It's one of my favorite songs by them!!!!!!!!!! (I have 3 other #1 songs by them!!!!!!!!!!), I have seen them in concert, but they didn't sing this song and it made me MAD and to see this video makes me HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! Again THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I love this song that's what I would like to do go to a car lot get me a muscle car and drive it all the way to Indiana when it gets warmer that is
Such a badass car. I love the way they put this video together too it's so fun to watch. Gotta love the cliche sales guy lol one of my favorite Montgomery Gentry songs.
I was going through a breakup when this song came out. Think it was around 03. I hope his family can celebrate Troys life . I think that's what most people would want. He gave us a lot to celebrate. Thank you Troy Gentry.
This reminds me of my patrol supervisor Dennis, he was always singing and the many times we were a 2-man unit we would sing duets lol! He’d rev up the engine and we’d speed up during the ‘let me lean on that gas!!..’ Dennis passed away from cancer 2 yrs ago, it saddens me everytime! RIP Dennis APPD414
Troy RIP brother. Was a pleasure and a blessing to see you perform (3 weeks before the accident) and your band's excitement and enthusiasm is why I love country music. Thank you and take care watching out from above! May Montgomery Gentry be forever in my playlist.
I felt Jason Aldean would keep it going, but then he started rappin n crappin. I can say that I appreciate UA-cam for all the great country and good rock bands. Give me Speed.
Rest easy troy. Thank you for making my childhood amazing and being my first concert. And both you and Montgomery for being so nice when my lil bad ass opened the velvet curtain all curious haha💙
RIP Troy Gentry... I'm so sorry you passed away. A true loss to the world & especially the world of country music. You will be missed. Gone, but never forgotten 09-08-17. (For those who don't know, Troy died in a helicopter crash in New Jersey). 💔💔💔
So Sad😢God Needed another Angel 😇 We will always miss You and Thank You for Giving Use the extreme pleasure You Left a Great Gift to us your music for the world to Listen too.
This song came out right after my nasty Divorce in 2002, two years earlier my life changed forever after I was confined to a wheelchair after breaking my neck in a swimming accident while on vacation.My accident destroyed my Marriage and here I am now, still healing and moving on ! NEVER QUIT !!! GOD HAS ME !!! I’m OK!
Saw them at Thunder Valley Casino, Rocklin, CA 2011. Best country concert I've ever seen. I dig the guitar at the end of this song. Dude can play. He's like a little kid concentrating with his tongue out the side of his mouth lololol. RIP Troy. You guys gave lots of folks a great show and made me feel good for a couple hours every time you performed.
Still here friend...Good ole days when high school and music define who you were. Miss those days so bad. Only few will know what I'm talking about but a weekend and a parking lot outside of a gas station at night. Forever engraved in me
Freddie Cordova respect your view but in my books these two were so much better than B & D, better style, sound and meaning to their music. RIP T-Roy, give’em hell Eddie and the wild bunch as you start your new tour. Hell yeah!!!
Montgomery Gentry has a unique sound all their own. These boys turned out some damn fine music. RIP TROY. Your music will live on brother.
Amen 🙏🏻 Matthew 💯🇺🇸
Montgomery Gentry is one of the best duos ever. This is one of my all time fav songs.
All I ever need is an open road and a whole lotta Speed!!! That’s what I Need, Rip Troy, missing you brother
I sing, 🎶An old back road, and a whole lot of speed🎶
to me this song is about a car not a girl ... 66 toranado . the front fenders looked like torpedoes and the rear of the car fell off to nothing , in it's day it was aerodynamic without meaning to or even knowing it , but i loved it , did a frame up rebuild over time and it was my best hobby , the wife is still jealous after 25years , hehe
"Im tired of spinning my wheels. I need to find a place where my heart can go to heal." Bad Ass verse
Indeed it is
Rest In Peace Troy . Thanks for being part of a band that got me through some tough times .
Ain't that the truth brother...
samspace81 yup . Got me through a bunch of tough times .
Im still fighting rough times. But im going fowards....

This song, especially the begging.
My mom passed at the young age of 45. Can’t not think of her with this song. I remember blasting this at a young age with her. Please pray.
My prayers are with you! I can't imagine what that's like but just remember and never forget that there always people around you that love you!
Country needs to be like this again
True heart break is when you loved someone more than you loved yourself..
A great woman left me in 2001. I had a 79 Chevy dually truck. Couldn’t drive it anymore due to memories , so it sits at my uncles house since 01.
We miss you T Roy! 🥀

Just lost my wife of 15 years to another man and here I am soothing the pain away, thank God for my 4 babies don't know what I'd do without them!
You keep hanging in there partner.
The best part of about Montgomery Gentry was that both of them had songs they both could shine on. Both of them combined makes great country music.
This reminds me of my patrol supervisor Dennis, he was always singing and the many times we were a 2-man unit we would sing duets lol! He’d rev up the engine and we’d speed up during the ‘let me lean on that gas!!..’ Dennis passed away from cancer 2 yrs ago, it saddens me everytime! RIP Dennis APPD414
Thank you Troy for your wonderful voice, Montgomery/Gentry will go down as unsung heroes in the music industry...

Have always loved this music video. The scene with the car driving down the road amazes me. Pre Drone days too!
I love that #3 on his sleeve....nice touch!
why can't country be this fire again??
Sara Hopkins They killed country music. I can't even stomach the crap today. (Goes for rock too, really).
I felt Jason Aldean would keep it going, but then he started rappin n crappin. I can say that I appreciate UA-cam for all the great country and good rock bands. Give me Speed.
Hell yeah
Because they started letting stupid people become famous 😥 god I miss this
Why can't country be country again?
