My best mate passed away yesterday, he called me a few years ago and told me to watch this video and said...remind you of anything??? Best of times...RIP Brett you beauty...
Today is the 3 yr anniversary of my dad's pass. He was a good ol country boy from Alabama, but loved this song. I'm listening to it for him tonight. Sorry for your loss. If you're having a drink tonight, cheers to our dads.
@@terriunderwoodmeredith2452 It's bad, that he died and seemingly much too young. But the good thing is you miss him, cause this means you've had a good time with him. I wish you all the best for your further live. And though I'm a random person in the UA-cam comment section to you (as you are to me) I mean this from the bottom of my heart, cause your comment anyhow made me cry. I really feel sorry for you without knowing you. But I guess it is, because this great song connects us.
I'm not even American, but when i play this song I turn myself Alabamian. Thank god this Music still out there. God bless the Michigan state and God bless the USA. Polish fan out there
This is one of my favorite songs. I grew up in Alabama. I did 26 years in the Army most of my time was in Airborne and special ops. I heard this song on Arm Forces Radio in Afghanistan. I taught our interpreter to sing This song and then Sweet home Alabama. I was very fortunate to get him and his family out. They live about ten miles
I’m here bc my 78 yr old mom asked me to add it to her playlist 😆 My best friend passed away this summer and she loved Kid Rock..so I’m putting a tribute video together for her to Only God Knows Why. I think everyone has a Kid Rock song they love! The Rebel Without a Cause album was massive when I was younger..it’s one of my feel good go-to’s 😎
I am 64. Never heard this song til a year before my husband passed from Covid. It was our favorite song for the last year of his life. I went to Laughlin to see Kid Rock last Oct. What an amazing experience!
This song rocks. Makes me remember all the good I had when I was younger. Here I am in my 60s still enjoy listening to it.. Kid Rock keep jamming brother
Man, I got a ton of stories. Living in Nashville we got Alot of lakes & my youth was just unbelievable. I used to drive my bass boat up & down the lake shore he's driving in this video. Fish it, have picnics right there where those 2 twins are with the rebel flag bikini. That's Hendersonville TN. My cousin is a country song writer, lives right down the street from that video shoot. This video kicks my memory into overdrive. Such good times. We can't go back but we have the God given memories.
@JeffreyHill-zv5xd I lived in Nashville in the 80s. My best friend played steel guitar for Porter Wagoner in his all girl band that he had at the time. I got to travel with them sometimes. I met alot of the old country stars. Mel Tillis was always a good time. I remember going to a Bass fishing tournament and at the weigh in Mel put little pebbles in the gills to make them weigh more. I worked at the Opryland Hotel as a cocktail waitress and met so many good musicians. I really miss those good ol days. I'm 65 now and I can still party with the best.😊
These were the times we took for granted. Everytime I listen to Kid Rock, I think of all the fun times I've had with my dad and 2 older brothers, camping, fishing, traveling, having the best time we can have. Now we're grown up and do our own thing and my dad doesn't want to do anything any more. I love ya dad. I'll never forget our amazing moments/time together as a whole family.
Sorry, had nothing to do with kid rock..warren zevon wrote it in 1970s, somebody put different words to werewolves of london. Shows what a total con kid rock is.
Damn I was born in the early 2000’s and I remember I loved this song when I was little even if I didn’t know what they were saying, but I still loved it driving in the car with my mom when she took me on a road trip. I didn’t know what this song was called until I finally found it a few years ago and it just flooded with memories coming back. Now when I listen to this song again and see the music video for like the 3rd time I wish I was born back then in that decade when everything was fun and everything was just peace and love, didn’t have to worry about anything, you could party and have fun with your friends and everyone got along with each other. I seriously don’t belong in this decade that I’m in. I’m more of an old soul I like classic music from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s I love the clothes that they used to have (and yes I know that they’re back now) I love the old classic cars they had. I also love how there wasn’t that much technology like there is now. Every time my mom talks about everything when she was little I always say “damn I really wish I was born in that time so bad”. But my mom said that if I was born in that time I wouldn’t know how all of this technology works, I would be like her not knowing all this difficult technology that we have now, which is true I wouldn’t know anything but the more I think about it, I honestly wouldn’t give a shit if I didn’t know about technology that much, at least I would have lived the life back in those decades.
This is the exact same way i feel. I wish I was born back in the good old days. I dont like now a days. I'm an old soul . it makes me sad because I'm terrified to see where this world is going
This was one of my mom’s favorite songs. We used to sing it in the car together. She died from cancer 8 years ago. She never wanted me to be sad though. She said she would be partying in heaven. I hope they have music in heaven, so she can listen to this.
My son and daughter love singing this song together. Everytime I play music, they request I play it. I pretend to be sick of hearing the song, but to be honest, I love it. ❤
"It's the simple things in life, like when and where" So true! So, so true! We all must to go back to simple things....they are the most important.....
Used to scout bands, (Lazy Bones, Rudehaus. Playgrind), in Michigan. Hit almost every city with my friends, trying to find something unique.. (We weren't, 'officially' on the payroll but there was a contractual agreement).. perhaps becsuse we all attractive, but, I am College educatedl
The horror lies within my mind when I gave the signal to the Dive Master to throw my Mother overboard. She want to learn. I met and held my Mother's hand at the bottom, and we signaled to each other, "Okay." That has no equal.
This was one of my dad's favorite songs, he'd play this sometimes in the car. RIP 1969-2023 EDIT: How did I not get notifications for this comment? Thank y'all so much! :)
I had a blonde surfer girl that fit this song perfectly. We were 14 and 15 just discovering America. We went our separate ways a few years later and didn't see each other for 40 years. We bumped into each other again after 40 years and 2 life times passed us by. We started to kindle a love that we should have ignited 45 years before. Before we could really discover the love that we both knew could have been the ingredients for an unbreakable and deep discovery of ourselves she went to her final and long deserved rest. She passed in her sleep leaving me with the love that I have to her until she meets me when I cross over to greet her forever. Ours was the summer of 1971.
I hear you, so very sorry. Lost my very first GF to cancer last year. Hadn't seen her since 1972, we dated in high school (both had part time jobs in the same place) in 1968 and we were crazy about each other. It fell apart when I moved from Vermont to Boston (college). It was a long time ago, but I cried when I heard that she passed last year. I guess you don't get over your first after all. I wish you peace.
Thanks so much for supporting my music 🎼 I’m so grateful 🥰and I hope you never stop being fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s okay by you....
Sometimes my local contry staion WCOS here in SC sometimes plays this to this day but not much. I think its a good thing because if you have too much of a good thing it gets boring so its best to do it in moderation
Crying over comments 💔💔 love this song, reminds me the days we were 20, no job, no plans, long summer holidays and you can just call your friend and say “Let’s go!” 🙏🏻🫶
For some reason every time I have a drink and take a little ❄️ (Which is rare) I end up here. 02:16am Sunday morning Glasgow. I hope everyone has a great week. Love you all. We’re all in it together, teamwork makes the dream work. Peace ✌️
I've loved Kid Rock since I was a kid. My mom was from Michigan, & I was born & raised in Tennessee so everyone around me listened to his music. This song came out when my brother & I were kids, we created a "stage" outside in the yard, set up lawn chairs, & made the family (including our grandparents & great grandmother) come listen to us preform it 😂 theres probably a video of that somewhere.. My brother passed away 2 years ago, its crazy how a song can take you back to a place & time just like it was yesterday.. ❤️
Anyone else feel like this song is a window to the past where life was simpler, and full of memories yet experienced? Every time I hear this song it causes my mind to go into memory overload, which surprises me that I remember anything from back then. So much brain experimenting and yet I sit here all nostalgic with a smile ear to ear.
You were not happier back then, and neither was I. Every teenager is a basket case, but our memories play tricks on us. We're happier as married, out of shape parents in middle age.
@@MrEatSomeBrains The guitar solo is from "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynryd Skynyrd and the intro and other parts are ripped off from "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon.
My dad passed away in 2012 and he loved this song it reminded him of when he was younger in his day's he was a navy man god rest his soul and thank you kid rock for making him feel like he was in his younger days
I don't have any sad stories to go along with this,but I just love the whole vibe it so works on so many levels. And whoever came up with this idea of the floating stage at night...kudos to them. I have to show them some love as a photographer I know what it takes behind the scenes.
Im 65 and I am hoping the rest of my years will be like this song. A whole lot of them already have, and I'm talking years! Thanks for the memories Kid. God bless you, if for no other reason than you have made an old woman very happy and finally feeling the coming on of peace in my life. But rock and roll and Motown and southern rock and ALL of the blues will forever be playing in my consciousness, wherever or whatever it may be. I know there is a rock and roll heaven and I know they have a helluva band! God bless you!
I died twice on the table after an accident that I predicted..I am not omniscient, but I get these' buzzy' feelings before I told my ex, no one believed
One of my moms favorite artists I remember when she got this CD we blasted it the van all the time miss my mama she passed in 2019 and god listening to this i can picture and hear her in the driver seat tapping the wheel to the beat and singing along😢❤
If summertime had a national anthem, I think this song would be it. Now matter your location, I can't imagine this song not bringing back memories of summers past. In short, this is a great song.
When I was younger my mom used to love this song she would dance and sing when it came on all the time and tell me how much she loved this song the in 2009 she passed when I was 11 and now that I’m 26 years old lived my life I can truly resonate with this song and I know the feeling she was feeling when she listen to this song and it’s such a free feeling love you mom ❤
@marga You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Not sure how old your mom was but if she was born in the 70s and a teen in the late 80s...it was a great time to be 17 in 1989... I was and it was the most amazing year of my life.... listen to it in honor of your mom knowing she was having the time of her life back then ❤❤
@@MydNyteRayne Thank you very much dear, I really appreciate your love and support towards me and the band. I hope you are having a good day? Thanks you for being my great fan I hope you never stop listening to my musics.
Reminds me of my summers on the lake in Wisconsin during the 80's. Just a couple years later I was in the Army and in combat. Never did see that girl again. Thanks man.
I was little when this song came out, but it wasn’t till I got out of high school when I realized what this song was about. Looking back on the summer I graduated, it was the best summer ever. Hanging out with my friends over the weekends and having no cares or worries whatsoever. I wish I could be with them and my high school crush again
Um, it is the only song to EVER be #1 on both the national country and rock charts at the same time, I don't think it was ever short on recognition mate.
This goes to my husband kids dad he passed away Christmas day 2022. This brings wonderful memories of my husband and I. We were in Laughlin Nv for Laughlin River run many years ago. I miss, love and think about you knowing that your always watching over our kids and I 💜💯🤙🏽
Hey 5 years clean off drugs or alcohol 🥃 I’ve had to go through with this for over 10 years and still clean 🧼 😅bloody drugs ,if you never try anything never,cause I will disrespect your life and family 😢
This song has described almost every teenage experience before the invention of cell phones & internet. A time when no one was trying to "go viral" and all of our crazy dumb shit we did was not recorded for the world to see lol thankfully for some of us, those days are locked up tight and only seen in the memories of only those who were there! I miss the simpler time before everything got all hectic with becoming an adult and the biggest thoughts were when and where?
Yeah I think I was born right around the time cell phones, internet and newer technology fucked everything. I always remembered this song when I was just a tot, going to northern michigan with family and I guess I just miss those times. I understand phones fucked everything up, it's depressing
@@seventyfivepesos8685 you might be right... believe me I know what you mean, I live for the weekends, which is the vibe im gettin off this song, still, those days were better...
That's a damn shame you never had a summer like this. Back in the late 80s/early 90s I remember going down to the lock on the river and just hanging out for hours. Good friends, good tunes, good times. I miss those days...
@@sean6077 70s and 80s must have been a amazing Time to be alive I own a 78 Dodge shorty van still has all original shag carpet I hope to take it to the lake someday and have a party
Please go have you one of those summers.❤ Your parents lived their lives, you deserve yours. I highly reccomend country girls. They don't care near as much about politics.

Rocking to this song in 24 with my 10 month old son...making sure he knows the real good ones🤙
🤙🏼
Rock on! It IS something he will carry with him, trust me! 😊 My Boo is 23yo and she certainly knows the legends! 🤘🏽💜🎼
The song is a terrible rip off of two classics and plays chorus in wrong key. It's dreadful
@limpmixes3098 more successful than you’ll ever be.
I’m rocking along with my 11year old granddaughter
It's winter and I'm blasting this song in my car!
Thanks so much for supporting my music 🎼 I’m so grateful 🥰and I hope you never stop being fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s okay by you....
This song is the embodiment of a perfect summer
yup
Awsome
U
Kid rock still 💪 Rocks in 2019🇺🇸
It's the embodiment of the upper peninsula.
2010 what a year when this song was on the radio especially around summer 2010 good times
Yea, good times.
Yea
Happy to have been there.
Sometimes my local contry staion WCOS here in SC sometimes plays this to this day but not much. I think its a good thing because if you have too much of a good thing it gets boring so its best to do it in moderation
2010?
Pretty sure it was 2008.
Crying over comments 💔💔 love this song, reminds me the days we were 20, no job, no plans, long summer holidays and you can just call your friend and say “Let’s go!” 🙏🏻🫶
For some reason every time I have a drink and take a little ❄️ (Which is rare) I end up here. 02:16am Sunday morning Glasgow. I hope everyone has a great week. Love you all. We’re all in it together, teamwork makes the dream work. Peace ✌️
I've loved Kid Rock since I was a kid. My mom was from Michigan, & I was born & raised in Tennessee so everyone around me listened to his music. This song came out when my brother & I were kids, we created a "stage" outside in the yard, set up lawn chairs, & made the family (including our grandparents & great grandmother) come listen to us preform it 😂 theres probably a video of that somewhere.. My brother passed away 2 years ago, its crazy how a song can take you back to a place & time just like it was yesterday.. ❤️
I’m italian and i feel like i was you in that years… nostalgic 😂
8o 😅and stuff cinco 6cxo n😅t 7th
💗
So sorry for your loss honey ❤❤😢
So sorry for your loss
I know your heart's broken 💔
THIS SONG NEVER GETS OLD!!!!
Most ESPECIALLY whenever Summertime is RIGHT around the corner!!!!!!!!!!
Hello are you one of my special true music fan?
As the kids say "facts." Another summer in the books. For anyone reading this I hope it was great for you.
Anyone else feel like this song is a window to the past where life was simpler, and full of memories yet experienced?
Every time I hear this song it causes my mind to go into memory overload, which surprises me that I remember anything from back then. So much brain experimenting and yet I sit here all nostalgic with a smile ear to ear.
Brings me back to a time where I wasn't even born
No

Sweet Home Alabama
You were not happier back then, and neither was I. Every teenager is a basket case, but our memories play tricks on us. We're happier as married, out of shape parents in middle age.
Man I wish I had a boat like that
'We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair' :)
Hello
Hello
Saw this comment right as he was singing tha verse
i hope you will not stop listening to my music?
@@kidrock6592 definitely i won't :)
I was 17 in 1989 - best time of my life. This song describes that summer perfectly.

Hypothetically if I was actually responding to Kid Rock the answer would be yes.
Cheers.

Thanks Kid Rock - for giving us awesome tunes and best of all for creating a bridge from Skynyrd and John Cougar(Mellencamp) to today!
Hello are you one of my special true music fan?
The tunes are not from him. the original song is called "werewolves of london " by warren zevon.
@@MrEatSomeBrains The guitar solo is from "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynryd Skynyrd and the intro and other parts are ripped off from "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon.
I thank this song for introducing me to the greatest. RIP Warren z.
My Uncle passed this past weekend. Me and him always listened to this together. Here for you my dear Uncle. R.I.P
I'm so sorry for your loss
@@edgarwallmeyer6630 thank you🙏
Sorry for the loss sending my condolences God Bless y'all!! Aloha from Hawaii ❤️🤙🙏🙏
Very sorry to hear
May your uncle rest in peace and watch over you forever my friend
Reminds me when i was 16 and would get out after work every night during the summer and hang out with friends at the beach. Great times
Nice
we got chips & got drunk in the back garden of a friends house.
Hello are you one of my special true music fan?
My dad passed away in 2012 and he loved this song it reminded him of when he was younger in his day's he was a navy man god rest his soul and thank you kid rock for making him feel like he was in his younger days
🙏
Hello are you one of my special true music fan?
3rd july 2024 and still rocking to this absolute classic
At this point, I hope my kids have memories like this and this song brings them a smile later in life.
but most parents are against having memories like that
Sam thing I explained to my kids today. Once you graduate those years pass by so fast. Make your teenage years precious, love life..
It's rare that kids experience this now.
💯
@G Stve all fake now
Absolutely awesome! The days up north were some of the best memories of my life!
2020. She’s 48 and I’m 50 now. And it’s still a sweet home.
I don't have any sad stories to go along with this,but I just love the whole vibe it so works on so many levels. And whoever came up with this idea of the floating stage at night...kudos to them. I have to show them some love as a photographer I know what it takes behind the scenes.
Whether You're 20 or 120 this song takes you back to some great memories. Hope everyone has a great day.
You Are Right
Mostly me and my dad driving across the country so yeah I love this song and it has a very special place in my heart. ❤
Teen years in Northern Michigan.... PRICELESS.
being stuck in michigan swatting mosquitos waiting for a long cold freezing winter? PRICELESS?
I can put a price on n michigan= 2cents
Susan Cadwell exactly
Reminds me of growing up in St. Clair Michigan. Good times, great memories
Born and raised in traverse city, i might live back in the mitten but I can't wait to be back to visit, cherry festival 2019 here we come!
This video wasnt filmed in Michigan, I live on that lake
I’m 54 and I’m still having summers like this.
Im 65 and I am hoping the rest of my years will be like this song. A whole lot of them already have, and I'm talking years! Thanks for the memories Kid. God bless you, if for no other reason than you have made an old woman very happy and finally feeling the coming on of peace in my life. But rock and roll and Motown and southern rock and ALL of the blues will forever be playing in my consciousness, wherever or whatever it may be. I know there is a rock and roll heaven and I know they have a helluva band! God bless you!
See I'm getting so old I'm repeating myself. But nobody can have too many "God bless you's!"
Goals
You sir are an alcoholic! 😅
I'm 17, never had summers likes this, but I prefer books and working infront of my computer.
Love me some Kid Rock!!! 68 year old great grandma!!!!!!
Let's go!
Who is listening to this 2024?
I am-- at 71 years old-just love his music!!
Pure Rock all the time
Me!
Me!
I am
Had the opportunity to chill with him recently, got to hang and drink all night ! Such a nice dude.
I am 64 and love this song. Reminds me of my younger years of fun and innocent
wow
i died 2 years ago but i still like to come back to this song and remember the good old times...
Hello are you one of my special true music fan….
I died twice on the table after an accident that I predicted..I am not omniscient, but I get these' buzzy' feelings before I told my ex, no one believed
Xdddd@@kidrockofficialchannel5912
RIP guys 👻 i’m dead too 😂
MAGA
🇬🇧
OK folks please try and remember you are not supposed to drink the bong water or eat the big white mint in the urinal.
62 and still listening 🎶
Never get tired of this song...
Blake Shelton
Me eather
Me ether
Scott Raisch me either
No i dont
Man, everytime I listen this awesome song I feel the same emotion like the very first time.
Yeah it never gets old to me either.
My God this makes me want to be young and do it all over again. Without some of the mistakes.
I know how you feel but without the mistakes you would never know you were living. Stay well my friend. 🤘
BIGGER MISTAKES BABYYYYY :D
Haha. I feel the same
The mistakes are what make us!
Without mistakes you would have never have Fun!
Music is the best time machine we will ever have
One of my moms favorite artists
I remember when she got this CD we blasted it the van all the time miss my mama she passed in 2019 and god listening to this i can picture and hear her in the driver seat tapping the wheel to the beat and singing along😢❤
I love his song. Is there anyone else 2024
Yes I'm here listening to right now
@randyreed1284 cheers brother.
Here
💃
I figured....what the hell? I'll revisit this just to check on you.
If summertime had a national anthem, I think this song would be it. Now matter your location, I can't imagine this song not bringing back memories of summers past. In short, this is a great song.
♥
I agree
SAVED
SAVED
Agree, this song is amazing!
The good old days 🙏😎
When I was younger my mom used to love this song she would dance and sing when it came on all the time and tell me how much she loved this song the in 2009 she passed when I was 11 and now that I’m 26 years old lived my life I can truly resonate with this song and I know the feeling she was feeling when she listen to this song and it’s such a free feeling love you mom ❤
@marga You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
Your mother had great taste in music 👍bless her soul 🙏
@@nydeerhunter5166 i am good. i know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
Not sure how old your mom was but if she was born in the 70s and a teen in the late 80s...it was a great time to be 17 in 1989... I was and it was the most amazing year of my life.... listen to it in honor of your mom knowing she was having the time of her life back then ❤❤
@@MydNyteRayne Thank you very much dear, I really appreciate your love and support towards me and the band. I hope you are having a good day? Thanks you for being my great fan I hope you never stop listening to my musics.
Reminds me of my summers on the lake in Wisconsin during the 80's. Just a couple years later I was in the Army and in combat. Never did see that girl again. Thanks man.
Here we go again. The broken military man. Not interested.
I was little when this song came out, but it wasn’t till I got out of high school when I realized what this song was about. Looking back on the summer I graduated, it was the best summer ever. Hanging out with my friends over the weekends and having no cares or worries whatsoever. I wish I could be with them and my high school crush again
Hello are you one of my special true music fan?
Michigan is beautiful in the summer time 😉
This song doesn’t get enough recognition that it deserves
It was played through the ringer on the radio in the Midwest. I still hear it almost weekly
I second that, it definitely deserves more
Um, it is the only song to EVER be #1 on both the national country and rock charts at the same time, I don't think it was ever short on recognition mate.
This goes to my husband kids dad he passed away Christmas day 2022. This brings wonderful memories of my husband and I. We were in Laughlin Nv for Laughlin River run many years ago. I miss, love and think about you knowing that your always watching over our kids and I 💜💯🤙🏽
as already mentioned: Timeless music! This song rocks yesterday, today& tomorrow too!
Unbedingt
y ea makes me feel younger
62 and still rocking
"Not thinking about tomorrow"... You said it brother
For me this song reminds of the HARDEST 5 years I've had to work to stay clean!!! But it has been worth it!! If you want it you can do it!!!! ❤
You are an inspiration to us all.
Hey 5 years clean off drugs or alcohol 🥃 I’ve had to go through with this for over 10 years and still clean 🧼 😅bloody drugs ,if you never try anything never,cause I will disrespect your life and family 😢
you don't think anyone will actually fall for this right @kid_rock.
@You all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw
@@omgrachihiii Inspiration for what? 😂. You gen xers are rtarded
If you' ve ever vacationed in Northern Michigan, this song means even more to you. Rock On Kid.
Silver lake!!!!!
I don't think anyone has ever vacationed in Michigan before.
Sounds like a fun vacation spot. Got any recommendations over there?
Yes I do live in Northern Michigan and our summers were awesome ☺️😎
@@i2k a lot of lakeside cottages on the big lake or small lakes too.. between Tawas and Rogers City you'll find many, Long lake was always fun too!
This song never gets old in 2024 it can be 3030 and ill still rock it ❤
This is the type of music that would make you feel that everything is ok.
Everything ok OK bro. 👍
You got that right ❤
Awwww....one of you pussies reported my comment. 😅😅😅
Yep so true, this song has always meant good times ❤
✨✨✨
This song has described almost every teenage experience before the invention of cell phones & internet. A time when no one was trying to "go viral" and all of our crazy dumb shit we did was not recorded for the world to see lol thankfully for some of us, those days are locked up tight and only seen in the memories of only those who were there! I miss the simpler time before everything got all hectic with becoming an adult and the biggest thoughts were when and where?
Very well put. I couldn't have said it better.
Yeah I think I was born right around the time cell phones, internet and newer technology fucked everything. I always remembered this song when I was just a tot, going to northern michigan with family and I guess I just miss those times. I understand phones fucked everything up, it's depressing
No kidding.
Life is very similar to this, trust me we’re having a lot of fun in our own right. No need to worry about us.
@@seventyfivepesos8685 you might be right... believe me I know what you mean, I live for the weekends, which is the vibe im gettin off this song, still, those days were better...
12 years ago but never gets old. Good times
YES, YOU ARE SO CORRECT
Seriously that long?
Man I don’t do country but this song
Hits !
I don't stop listening to good music just because it's old.
I'm still rock'n this 2day.
✌😎👍
Dee Harris the song by kid Rock is only 11 years old which isn’t considered “old” .yes the originals are old .... 🤷♂️
Never had a summer like this but maybe someday if things don't get worse out there
That's a damn shame you never had a summer like this.
Back in the late 80s/early 90s I remember going down to the lock on the river and just hanging out for hours. Good friends, good tunes, good times. I miss those days...
@@sean6077 70s and 80s must have been a amazing Time to be alive I own a 78 Dodge shorty van still has all original shag carpet I hope to take it to the lake someday and have a party
@@masincoon3172 my parents keep telling me the same man. shame i was born in the 90s and a generation i dont fit in..
@@masincoon3172 dude it was, no one gave a fuk about politics, have that party everyday, no one is assured of tomorrow
Please go have you one of those summers.❤ Your parents lived their lives, you deserve yours. I highly reccomend country girls. They don't care near as much about politics.
Let's be honest guys this quarantine is bringing us back to some amazing songs
F'n A brother. Time to rediscover!
Big facts
You do realize 1) this song isn't that old, and 2) the music is largely borrowed from Lynrd Skynrd and Warren Zevon (with new lyrics, admittedly)?
@@jasonpospiech2552 eaa area qqq3qqqqqqqq
Besides,"STIR CRAZY", AS WELL !
The water, like when & where.Remember this,when it comes to heartache.....U R GUILTY FOR A FEW. God Bless
who's listening to this classic still in 2024?
Music is no where near as good as it used to be. Miss the them days!
Me.
