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, ,Monday Morning Church, and I Can't Do That Anymore (recorded by Faith Hill).
Drive (For Daddy Gene) was definitely played on country radio! It was #1 in 2002 when this came out. Amazing song dedicated to his father who had passed.
This song always makes me cry, so of course you guys had to drop this video while I was at work and now I'm trying to discreetly wipe my eyes at my desk😂😂😂 it's such a good song and yes, when it first dropped every country station ran it into the ground😂
It was VERY popular. That’s why it’s referenced in Thomas Rhett’s “What’s Your Country Song”. Lyric: “Did you grow up on a tractor? Did your DADDY LET YOU DRIVE?”(hint toward Alan Jackson)
I hear this and I remember driver's ED. My instructor was one of the football coaches. He had just commented that I slowed down too soon and too much when going around a curve. So, we come up on this curve that says "Sharp Curve - 15 MPH". Well...remembering what he had just said, I took that curve doing between 30 - 35 MPH. He and the girls in the back swear we were on just two wheels at one point, but I think they exaggerated that just a bit. The instructor (very large, very loud football coach) asked what I was thinking, and I told him I was just listening to what he had said before. That was right before Junior Year. After high school, I got a job working for the local newspaper, reporting on sports events mostly. Every single time he saw me, when I walked by or approached him to interview him about the game, he would tell whoever was standing nearby, "This is the girl that scared ten freaking years off my life." If anyone around hadn't heard the curve story, he would tell it. I will never forget that or his reaction.
I had a 69 Chevelle myself. I'm sure I'm as old as your Dad. My boys were hard on my 80s era Camaros. I actually was asked by a cop once when I was stopped in my 84 Camaro if it was my son's car. Alan is one of my favorites. Saw him in concert.
I've driven a 18 STI, as well as various mustangs. And *none* of those clutches are easy to learn. Same thing I did to my kid. Trial by fire. "If you can drive this, you can drive anything." - Keith
The full title of this song is "Drive (For Daddy Gene)" it was written to honor his Dad who had died 2-years prior to this release. It was the second release on the Album Drive the first being "Where were you"
My dad taught me how to drive. Most cars in Germany are manual cars, so he taught me in an empty parking lot. The car was his very new Mercedes. But pretty much right after I figured the driving stuff out, he took me on the Autobahn. And taught me how to handle the speed. First time driving on the autobahn and I made it to 125 mph. 😂 It was totally illegal, because you need a certified driving instructor when you learn how to drive a car in Germany. I love the song and it reminded me on how I learned to drive and how my kids learned to drive.
Thank you very much for acting this song. I love this song personally. I relate to it and have happy memories of my Uncle who owned a log cabin by a Lake and will let me drive the boat except for under the bridge. He even let me drive the speed boat once such fun memories. Unfortunately my unlce passed away in 2020 after battling crippling conditions and pain for years.
Wv here… my mom passed in 05. A few songs remind me of her… she loved this song. She also dedicated I hope you dance to me when I graduated. And born in 1949, I always laughed because for some reason she liked kid rocks Bahwitaba or however you spell it. Lol
Oh yeah it was played everywhere! To be fair just about every Alan Jackson song as well. My mom taught me as well as my grandpa. There was some great memories made!
The first vehicles that I drove were... ...a Farmall B, an Allis-Chalmers WD, and a John Deere 2510 (gas). Of the three, I don't remember which one was first. My first non-farm vehicle was a 1966 Ford F-100, with a straight 6 and 3 speed on the tree. It was the only vehicle my dad bought new (the year before I was born), and he kept it until I was 15, putting over 325,000 miles on it until finally getting another truck.
From Wikipedia - Drive (For Daddy Gene)" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer Alan Jackson. It was released in January 2002 as the second single from his album, Drive. It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks in May 2002 and also peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100.
My husband can relate, his daddy had him driving dirt bikes, four wheelers, vehicles by the time he was 7. My husband also started our daughter driving country roads by the time she was ten. Yep this family relates to this song. Love Alan.
My dad let me drive his old 4x4 Suburban on some backroads around our ranch around 10 or so. Best memory other than him letting me rev up his mud racing truck as a little kid. Edit: I just found that same 86 suburban and bought it back!!
I learned manual transmission on my dad’s 94 jeep Wrangler. So when I got a little hyundai accent years later for college. It was so much easier. Definitely makes a difference, like you said 😂
First time I drove into "town" was when I was around 14. My alcoholic uncle wanted me to drive him to the local gas station to get him some beer. My dad decided to go too. It was a beat-up 90's model Chevy truck, stick-shift. Kinda nerve wracking, it being my first time driving into town, no license, being accompanied by two dudes like my dad and uncle, and driving a stick shift on top of that. I think I did a pretty good job though, outside of stalling out once when I tried to drive out of the gas station parking lot. I love stick shifts, and that's mostly what I drove. But after driving one for years, I start to feel like I badly want to drive the other, and vice-versa. Something that was really cool is that around 14-15 or so, dad let me drive a big dump truck in our distant cousin's rock quarry. So I got to shift through all of the first set of gears, flip the switch on the stick, and reach the next set of gears. The clutch was so stiff, I had to try to put all my weight on it and pull on the steering wheel just to keep it down before I started to drive.. He also let me drive and load the truck with a big excavator.
This song came out in 2002 as the title song of his CD which also included When the where were you his song about 911 this songs named in the CD was drive (for daddy Jean) As I said before on here I grew up not too far from where you guys are at in Lafayette Indiana and you were talking about learning how to drive I learned to drive around 10 years old on the old farm trucks just to name a couple 47 federal and a 62 Mac which were both double clutches Transmissions
This was Played alot on the radio. I learned on a 1981 GMC 4 speed a 1967 International 1 ton Grain tuck with NO power steering and then a 1989 GCM with a 4 speed that was hard as hell to shift. Loved them all tho.
Love this one - you know it's a good country story when you immediately have to stop and tell your own story! A beautiful song in a similar vein is "Keep it Between the Lines" by Ricky Van Shelton - or anything by him, he has a great voice and sound.
It great song. Another great song is from Alabama called Cheap Seats is baseball . It came out during the MLB raise rates so outrageous, the fans were going to minor games
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 his 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.
Alan Jackson was my first favorite artist, since I was about 4 years old in the mid 90's. He's on my personal Mount Rushmore of favorite artists, along with Hank Williams Sr & Jr, and George Jones. All of them have a huge catalog of great songs that I could listen to all day.
Daddy let me drive when i was 5. We were on a cross country trip. It's one of my most favorite memories, So much that I had this song played at his service when he left us. it's a strange feeling when your smiling from a memory as tears of immense sadness roll down your face.
I heard this song a million times as a kid and my parents always listened to country stations so yeah it was played a lot. I love country songs that tell a story and love this song.
This was a song that they overplayed so badly that I literally started to hate it. I heard this song as much as I used to hear Follow Me by Uncle cracker, or Picture by Kid Rock and Cheryl Crow. But it has been many years since I have heard it. And I actually still like it a lot. Country gets overplayed but never goes stale. For me....it was my Dads super antique yet perfectly working old school 1920s 8N Ford Tractor. Used it to mow the two smallish pastures we had and haul firewood we cut from our woods. That thing, older than dirt, could move ANYTHING. I would bet that until recent upgrades in useable materials, that tractor could have outworked ANYTHING made even DECADES after it was by John Deere, or New Holland.
My daddy taught me how to drive in his Big Rig no trailer lol …. But I learned fast and man I could shift those gears …. No surprise to momma and daddy when I got my CDL and took off on those roads …. Kids made me come home and be a mom … a mom just driving dump trucks so I could be home at night .
@@BourbonCountryReacts oh that’s nothing …. My first year driving for the company I still work for 20 years later ( part time now ) dump truck company . My brakes where going out told the owner over and over for 2 months ( he told me I was a woman and didn’t know what I was talking about ) …. Jake brake and downshifting was the only way I could stop . He got in the truck to deliver a load maybe 2 miles from his house and ( sandpit ) he got back and looked at me and said you have no brakes . I was like no shit dumbass ( yes I talk to him like still do ) . He was like okay here’s credit card and book go fix your brakes …. Well I did and pat myself on my own back did it correctly .
I did the same damn thing with my grandfather in his 02 (i think) gmc 3500 lol. He let me try to drive it around the yard and didn’t consider the fact I was 6. That 8.1 came to life lol my gpa had to break with his hands
I rember the first time I actually got to technically drive a car, I was 8 or 9 and had already been driving tractors. Well me an the old man was working on rebuilding a 59 Ford Edsel, well we took it out for a test run and it broke down on the side of the road. Pops ran back to the house cause we were close, grabbed his pickup and a chain. I had to drive the car and had never been towed before and didn't know I was supposed to hit my brakes first, well I ended up in the bumper of his pickup and all I heard was bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep
Just to feed Keith's guitar hunger ... I didn't even watch Game of Thrones, but this is phenomenal. Not so much for a reaction video, just something for Keith (and maybe Dustin) to enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/6i0a7RDPkM8/v-deo.html
In the high end sports car / supercar world, the manuals are the ones commanding a premium. Modern autos are much faster, but, you can't beat the feel of a high performance manual. - Keith

When Alan’s father past, he wanted to write a song in tribute, but didn’t want a sad song…so Drive came from all the happy memories.
This song still is super popular. This song came out around 20 years ago and it’s still played on radio sometimes.
I believe it. - Keith
Those are actually his daughters in the video. I love how the small things in life have the biggest memory.
Not just a guy thing. My dad taught me how to drive my first antique tractor when I was 6. Such fun memories 🥰
20 some years later and this song is still very popular
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, ,Monday Morning Church, and I Can't Do That Anymore (recorded by Faith Hill).
My 15 yr old brother (who didn't have a license) taught me (I was 19) to drive on a manual transmission in a Volkswagon Rabbit. It was hilarious.
I'm sure it was. I've driven that engine/clutch combo. It was a tough one to learn. Also, Rabbits were ridiculously fun to drive. - Keith
Absolutely LOVE Alan Jackson!! Everything from his first album all the way up to his latest stuff. You can't go wrong with Alan Jackson
I think we've liked everything we've heard so far from him. - Keith
Agreed!! Alan is awesome!
Drive (For Daddy Gene) was definitely played on country radio! It was #1 in 2002 when this came out. Amazing song dedicated to his father who had passed.
Alan Jackson wrote this song as a tribute to his father Eugene who had recently passed away - thus the subtitle For Daddy Gene.
Alan has the remarkable gift of bringing us back to those wonderful memories, childhood and otherwise. Makes you feel so much. ♥️
This song always makes me cry, so of course you guys had to drop this video while I was at work and now I'm trying to discreetly wipe my eyes at my desk😂😂😂 it's such a good song and yes, when it first dropped every country station ran it into the ground😂
I'm sure it was on maximum rotation. - Keith
It makes this 63 year old man cry too.
It was VERY popular. That’s why it’s referenced in Thomas Rhett’s “What’s Your Country Song”. Lyric: “Did you grow up on a tractor? Did your DADDY LET YOU DRIVE?”(hint toward Alan Jackson)

I will never forget that or his reaction.
Hahahah, I can empathize with that coach. - Keith
Awesome tribute to his Daddy Gene
I think it spent 4 weeks in the #1 spot. Most of his songs sat on top of the country charts. He wrote this for his dad after he passed away.
It's Alan Jackson! He doesn't have a bad song! Love them all!
Going to request Marty Robbins....
Don't Worry
Marty Robbins - truly one of the GOATs
Alan ... The Man .... The Legend !!! Any song Alan sang was played forever on the radio ....
I had a 69 Chevelle myself. I'm sure I'm as old as your Dad. My boys were hard on my 80s era Camaros. I actually was asked by a cop once when I was stopped in my 84 Camaro if it was my son's car. Alan is one of my favorites. Saw him in concert.
I think my dad's was a 69 Chevelle. One of the rare 396 SS Malibu trims. I have a funny story about that one I should tell sometime. - Keith
Taught my boy in his 2016 STI and my Mustang. Both manual. He had a hard time at first but he’s probably the best driver in his school now.
I've driven a 18 STI, as well as various mustangs. And *none* of those clutches are easy to learn. Same thing I did to my kid. Trial by fire. "If you can drive this, you can drive anything." - Keith

My mom taught me as well as my grandpa. There was some great memories made!
I think everyone remembers it. Since I teach people to drive high performance cars on racetracks, I hope people remember me in similar ways. - Keith
this is a great song. yes, this song was played a lot .well deserved
I'm not surprised it got a lot of play. At all. - Keith
I think you'd love "Little Man" by Alan Jackson
Yes it was definitely that popular and still hits just as hard today, 90’s country and storytelling is just incredible
It's starting to look like a sweet spot to me, though, I think Dustin and I still prefer the OG's we've heard on the channel. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts I agree, I’m not as big of a fan to these new pop/country artists 😬 🤣
Wonderful reaction is always. Alan Jackson is just one of those people that was an he is very much
Yes this was played on radio a lot and I still love this song. Alan Jackson is truly a icon of country music!
The first vehicles that I drove were...
...a Farmall B,
an Allis-Chalmers WD,

Yeah, it's not unusual to see trucks approaching half a million miles around farms. - Keith
Beautiful life story song, by one of the best. 🎤🎼🤠
Love Alan and this is one of my favorites

I was 12 my first time truly driving un-assisted. Cross country, out in Montana somewhere where the roads were perfectly straight forever. - Keith
Pure country.....pure life!
Great reaction and yes it got tons of radio time, still gets radio time on the little local channel here, WLIL.
Not at all surprised. - Keith

If you only stalled once, you did REALLY well. - Keith

Ha! There are "difficult" clutches/transmissions, then there are double-clutches. - Keith
Basically everything by Alan Jackson in his early years was constantly in the rotation. He has some great songs.
Still one of my favorite AJ songs! Even brings a few tears to my eyes, every time I listen to it.
Serious nostalgia pull. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts - AJ has a catalogue that’s hard to beat.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. Glad you guys got to hear it
This was Played alot on the radio. I learned on a 1981 GMC 4 speed a 1967 International 1 ton Grain tuck with NO power steering and then a 1989 GCM with a 4 speed that was hard as hell to shift. Loved them all tho.
It had power steering. All the power in your body to turn that wheel. - Keith
This song was played in heavy rotation. It's a great song! Great Reaction guys.
Agreed. Great song. And not surprised it was on max rotation. - Keith
I can't listen to this song without crying. Sitting on my Dad's lap when I was a toddler and "driving" the car is the only good memory I have of him.
There are three rites of passage in a man's life. The first time his daddy let's him drive, his first sip of beer, and his first kiss.
Total feel good song, the kind everybody needs sometimes. Btw, Centerfield is my summertime ringtone, another feel good tune.
Yeah, I saw some parallels between them. - Keith
Makes me miss my stepdad’s old truck he had, 2002 F350 (not a dually) 7.3l powerstroke with a 5spd. I wish I could find it
Love this one - you know it's a good country story when you immediately have to stop and tell your own story! A beautiful song in a similar vein is "Keep it Between the Lines" by Ricky Van Shelton - or anything by him, he has a great voice and sound.
Didn't think about that, but, it's a good point. Did have to stop. - Keith
Yes, it got a lot of airplay & video play. They are his daughters at the end of the video
I love Alan Jackson. His songs always make me feel something. This song is great. U guys might like his song The Older I Get.
Love Alan Jackson more more
There are more AJ bribes in the queue. - Keith
It great song. Another great song is from Alabama called Cheap Seats is baseball . It came out during the MLB raise rates so outrageous, the fans were going to minor games
Minor league games are just as good. - Keith
100% nostalgia song... I remember it being played a lot.
Not surprised. - Keith
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 played his 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.
Alan has an amazing voice and sooooooo many good songs! His voice is like a hug 🤗
this song played a lot I had the CD great song Alan is a great song writer cant hate anything Alan does
Alan Jackson has his own "Silverbelly" whiskey, now! You'll have to try it! 😀
I've been waiting for someone to react to this song. I love it
Great nostalgia tune. - Keith
Thank you Freddie for the Bribe! I've asked for this, A fav of mine.
We find the bribes tend to knock out a lot of requests. - Keith
I think manuals need to make a comeback. I prefer a manual for both a 4 wheel vehicle and an 18 wheeler.
In the high end sports cars, and even some supercars, the manuals command the highest prices due to demand for them. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts does not surprise me. I feel like it gives you more control!
@@MrNiccholas yeah, everyone talks about "feel" when wanting manuals. And frankly, they're right. - Keith
I'm not crying, you're crying!
lol, we've had a few videos like that. - Keith
I love these songs that literally make me close my eyes and look back through my files.
Still waiting to see them react to "The Thunder Rolls" and "Wasted"😢❤
this song was great!!
btw if y’all liked the zac brown chicken fried, u should check out the live at nashville southern ground live performance
Alan Jackson is always super popular! He writes relatable music. Makes me think of my daddy! I miss him everyday.
Well, this one is certainly relatable. It's obvious from the comments, too. - Keith
Been fishing with the man on West Pointe Lake. He's is just a good ole boy from Newnan.
Alan Jackson was my first favorite artist, since I was about 4 years old in the mid 90's.
He's on my personal Mount Rushmore of favorite artists, along with Hank Williams Sr & Jr, and George Jones. All of them have a huge catalog of great songs that I could listen to all day.
We've run into all of those on the channel, but have a sense there's a LOT more for all of them. - Keith

Yeah, sad, and sweet at the same time. - Keith
I heard this song a million times as a kid and my parents always listened to country stations so yeah it was played a lot. I love country songs that tell a story and love this song.
And this one tells a story almost everyone can relate to. - Keith
Mechanic Song.
This was a song that they overplayed so badly that I literally started to hate it. I heard this song as much as I used to hear Follow Me by Uncle cracker, or Picture by Kid Rock and Cheryl Crow.
But it has been many years since I have heard it. And I actually still like it a lot. Country gets overplayed but never goes stale.

So glad you liked the song and the whiskey. Definitely a song that makes a lot of people nostalgic.
I think nearly everyone can relate to it. - Keith
My mom would let me drive the two blocks from the grocery store when I was little
You guys need to react to gene Watson love in the hot afternoon farewell party or paper Rosie just to name some of his songs
Hey guys! been following you for awhile now! Love all your vids! One request I have is Bury My Bones by Whiskey Myers
Thanks!!

I was like no shit dumbass ( yes I talk to him like still do ) . He was like okay here’s credit card and book go fix your brakes …. Well I did and pat myself on my own back did it correctly .
@@lisaray9944 Ok, that's awesome!
Yeah I did and your welcome 😂😂
I taught both my kids to drive a stick, 5 speed. If they learn to drive that they can drive anything.
Yep.
“It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie” as Alan once sang in another song
I did the same damn thing with my grandfather in his 02 (i think) gmc 3500 lol. He let me try to drive it around the yard and didn’t consider the fact I was 6. That 8.1 came to life lol my gpa had to break with his hands
That is a LOT of truck to start out on! - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts lol it definitely was. I wish they still put those engines in new vehicles lol
Nice
Learned to drive a tractor at about 8. I am a 75-year-old white woman. Stated on the highway at 15.
Tractor clutches can be tricky too. - Keith

Wanna talk about a tricky clutch, I had to learn in a triple stick 1969 Ford dump truck at maybe 7 or 8 years old. Not a twin stick, a triple stick.
I've never even seen one. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts they used to have them in old concrete trucks or dump trucks. I believe Peterbilt used them quite often in certain trucks too.
I rember the first time I actually got to technically drive a car, I was 8 or 9 and had already been driving tractors. Well me an the old man was working on rebuilding a 59 Ford Edsel, well we took it out for a test run and it broke down on the side of the road. Pops ran back to the house cause we were close, grabbed his pickup and a chain. I had to drive the car and had never been towed before and didn't know I was supposed to hit my brakes first, well I ended up in the bumper of his pickup and all I heard was bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep
LOL! Yeah... "blam"
"ohhhhh shhhhhhh"
i didnt have that rite of passage
Just to feed Keith's guitar hunger ... I didn't even watch Game of Thrones, but this is phenomenal. Not so much for a reaction video, just something for Keith (and maybe Dustin) to enjoy.

I've seen that. Great improv in there. - Keith
Did everybody's Dad sit them on his lap at some point and let them "drive" (steer)?
I think so. I did that many times before I actually drove a car on my own. - Keith
Unfortunately driving a manual is a dying thing, most people have never driven a four in the floor, and even fewer a three on the tree
In the high end sports car / supercar world, the manuals are the ones commanding a premium. Modern autos are much faster, but, you can't beat the feel of a high performance manual. - Keith

Bet your transmission was frustrated to lol
It had a really heavy clutch. It held up fine. But, it sure was uncomfortable for the passenger (me) too. - Keith
So maybe I am just an idiot, my wife would certainly agree, but I can't for the life of me figure out how people are sending in these bribes???
We have such a big backlog, we've not been advertising how to send us bribes for several months. People are currently waiting 1-2 months for their bribe to get on the channel. If we can get through it far enough, we'll start telling people how to send them again.
