    Man this song hits so damn hard years later. I'm in my late 20s now & I remember hearing this song on the radio & singing along when I was a child almost every single weekend during our 2 hour drive up to the camp site with my Dad.
    He passed away last year in April & just hearing music like this brings me right back to those simpler times with him, & reminds me of the amazing childhood he gave me. It makes me so sad that those days are over & will never come back, but also extremely grateful & happy I was given those memories to begin with. It's the weirdest combination of emotions that's impossible to explain unless you've felt it before.

      This song is one of my favorite ever made. I gotta say, I actually like this cover more than the original. Not many covers have been released that I can say the same for.
      Don't get me wrong, Doobie Gray's original make of this song is great, of course.
      That being said, so grateful Uncle Kracker gave more life to this song. So many great songs have died along with their generations. I have much love and respect and so much appreciation for bands brave enough to cover legendary tracks, such as this one.

    I remember listening to this song in the radio when I was at least 6 or 7, my family and I were in the car heading to LA and I remember clearly the snowy mountains next to the freeway as the song played and I sang along not knowing that after 18 years later , I have forgotten and knew nothing about the title, my husband would find the song in a random meme and I just happened to over hear it and decided to search for it. Now going through anxiety and depression and reading the lyrics as I listened to it again made me tear. Who would've thought that this song could have destined for me to find it after all these years just to know that it relates to what Im going through now and as for the person this song is meant to be dedicated to, I'm grateful to have someone who tries his best to support me just so he can see me smile and enjoy the little to big things in life and I couldn't be more grateful of him, and that someone is my husband.
