    It’s rare anymore for a tribute song to sound equally as good as the original but this one, this one is goooood.

  • @sportsfan5548

    I love how Old Dominion and the rest of the artists stayed as close to the original version of their respective covers as possible. There was no need to try and put their own spin on classics and they didn't. Much respect.

    Matt Ramsey has one of the best voices in music, and not just country music. The band's harmonies are excellent as usual but Whit Sellers drumming is what makes this song come alive IMO.

    When I was young, my father was a long-haul trucker and would, sometimes, be gone for a week or more at the time. This song holds a special place in my heart. Especially since we lost him last Christmas. I can't listen to it without tearing up. Thank you, Alabama, and thank you, Old Dominion.

    As a kid. My dad drove tractor trailer. Hauled cars for nearly 20 years. There was times he was gone for 3/4 nights. He always told me it is a lonely life. Not to get into trucking. But, I didn't listen. I ended up behind the wheel. I am out for nights at a time and it is a lonely life. I miss my wife and children all the time.

      From one Trucker to another my fellow driver, it is most certainly a different lifestyle!
      No one understands but Truckers, the hardest part of our job is leaving our drive ways, the best part is pulling into them seeing those smiling faces my friend, always remember, it's not a job when we enjoy what we do!
      God bless you and you're wonderful family my fellow Trucker!

    Although my daddy was in the merchant marine a good deal of my childhood, his love was driving trucks! When he’d get home, he’d get a semi, and start hauling! Mama sold more trucks after he went back to sea! One of my brothers is still driving after 50 years! We always missed him when he was gone, but loved his coming back! Both professions are lonely lives, but daddy did what was necessary to take care of us the best way he knew how. God bless Alabama!

    This was a song we sung in my family as well, because my dad drove a truck hauling liquid nitrogen cross country for much of my childhood. Always brings a tear to my eye now, remembering a day when there was a major tornado that hit the same town in Oklahoma where he was laying over that day, and we didn't hear from him until the next day because all the phones were out (way before cell phones). I remember that call and my mom crying when he finally got ahold of us. Shout out to all the truckers! Drive safely and get home

    Everything about this performance is perfect. Their energy - you can really tell these guys appreciate where they are and the song. I've never seen them perform before, but you can tell these guys were having the time of their life performing here. The harmonies - just nailed it, even that final drop down in the harmony on the final 18 wheeler. This song spoke to so many in how they grew up, my dad was a truck driver too, and I'm one of 3 kids, so you know we thought this song was written for us. If ever a cover needed to be released, this is it!!!

He died the day before my 40th birthday and my stepmother was buried on my birthday in a different year. I still have so much respect for any truckers and I enjoy driving with truckers than cars. Also, I miss being in an 18 wheeler because I did that with my daddy when school was out and that’s been many years. My kids, my nieces and nephews all know how to signal to the truckers to blow their horn and myself and my sisters did it too. Those were the days, times and great memories. I still cry every now and then because I miss my daddy so much. Old Dominion had myself and my sister balling. Thank You Truckers for everything you do! God Bless All Of You and America!

    Awesome! Nice to see new bands appreciating the music that got them to where they are today! Let’s hope this continues or the great country music will die if we don’t. Radio stations are pressured to promote the”new” and shove the rest under the carpet.
