Music video by Eric Church performing Talladega. (C) 2014 EMI Records Nashville
My youngest brother passed playing softball. His last step was tagging home plate he turned to walk to dugout and collapsed. He passed away right their. Toughest thing that happened to me my whole life. Rip Matthew we miss you everyday down here. My life hasn't been the same since u left. I love you lil brother see you when I get their.
Ohmylordy 😮
Yo really really respect you
Were all brothers and sisters in America we all love you
Stay strong soldier
What's that have to do with Talladega? Was it his favorite track?
The oldest person, at one time, was a young man with hopes and dreams - his whole life ahead of him. Like the cars at Talladega, life moves fast. And when those cold October winds get colder and your life is one lap from the checkered flag. It's the times, with family and friends, you will cherish the most. Don't take it for granted.
Eloquent words
Jeff Jackie very true
Well said
Amen
So inspiring
Just had a friend pass away at 67. He was on the Texaco team with Allison. Talladega was his favorite track. This played at his funeral Sunday. Very beautiful
r.i.p
God bless you my friend.
Ú to me any time after the first 48 of 100 bet
Davey Allison was an awesome NASCAR driver. Winner of the 1992 Daytona 500. He will always be in NASCAR fans' hearts. #28Ever #ThankYouDavey
He is with Davey now.
My husband was in a terrible accident. A coma for months. When I finally got to bring him home. The bed was in the living-room. I would set the clock radio low, so he could wake up slowly to some stimulation. EVERY morning this song came on for a couple months. When I hear it, it brings it all back. So bitter sweet. We serve a great God!
Blessed are you forever ❤❤❤❤❤
@@user-bi5if1ip6t
I forgot all about posting that.
Aww, I am beyond blessed.
He gets around... does his day. Feeds the goats and chickens.
Every day is an adventure.
Hope you're doing well, navigating these crazy times.
💗
Thank you for your post.
Amen sister 🙏
I'm so sorry to hear about that, that was really sad to read about. God Bless you guys!
God bless you guys
im a black man and i grew up listening to rnb rap rock but as i get older (49) now i find myself listening to everything but rap i love this song
awesome me too
+darryl okelley That's because rap has no meaning or feel behind it anymore.. It's just random noise and auto-tune non-sense.
I hear ya man. Rap just lost a lot of quality recently. There's still rappers putting out pretty good stuff right now, but nothing like back in the 90's.
+darryl okelley im 17 an this all I listen too
+alex Hall i'm 14 and this is all I listen too Lol
....Dale would have loved this. 😊 #3 ...... R.I.P. ...... 🙏. 🇺🇸
Oh I'm sure he's listened to up there
Rip Dale 🙏🙏🙏
what do you mean
@@farmingdude5868 ....The Intimidator Dale Earnhardt. He would love this song.
R.I.P dale you will be missed
Amen brother
My father passed a year ago. This song he’d always be playing for us. I miss my father. Thanks for what you do Eric
Sorry for your loss
Oh man do I miss my Dad too 😭😭😭
Last year I was camping at Talladega during race weekend, and on the first morning, my friend woke us all up playing this song full blast. It was so beautiful!
Man this is so deep. So much more than just a good time at a race track. Friends and family will come and go. But one thing that won't is the memories we have with them. When our time is almost up.. We can look back to the time spent with them and smile. Appreciate the time you have with one another because nothing stays the same forever. And when that checkered flag is waving.. Wish you could stay where you are.
I agree
Exactly, every time i hear it i think of a different time with my best buds and family. Memories that will truely live on.
thanks for this post hits right in the heart beautiful post
Beautifully said!
Eric is a great songwriter. His songs are not about tailgates tanlines getting drunk and laid. He is what country music used to be,
This guy really shows the importance of making memories with family and friends.
Great
Right On Bro.
My best friend and I have loved Nascar since we can remember. We’ve been best friends since kindergarten. We always play this song on our way to the Richmond Nascar race and during tailgating. We will be jamming in come end of July for the Summer race in Richmond. We will just start singing it randomly while playing Nascar on PlayStation. Two brothers only grow closer and due to this song we do.
My old man loved Eldora speedway up in ohio!!! Loved watching those sprint cars!!! R.I.P. dad!!! See you in Heaven.
My life long life of addiction prevented me from doing many things. I always had a dream of taking my father to a Nascar race, was never with in my reach. My dad was dying and I finally got my shit right and was able to take him to the race in Fontana , Ca. I will never forget that day. I bought him the best seats at the very top., He took him about 20 minutes to get up there and I was so scared. I didn't think he'd make it up. But he did, and I can say with a blessed heart when my father died, he was very proud of his son who changed his life. When he passed I was making a 100k a year. Far reach from being an addict homeless, with 4 Children. I Miss you dad. See you soon pal. R.I.P Thanks for making this song Eric. With tears in my eyes and joy in my heart, your song is, simply put, my life =-)
Sammy Biggs God Bless you and yours brother.
Sammy Biggs you're an inspiration to me now I am still addicted and homeless and I am already to give up on myself
Sammy Biggs glad you got to spend that time with your father bro. God bless you an yours....
Sammy Biggs God bless!!!
Love u my brother that's awsome
I was just sitting in a restaurant having dinner with my Wife and this song came over the sound system. I stopped eating just to listen. I came home and called it up to hear it again. So so good!❤
I live 10 mins from the track. Lots of great memories there. 😊

I can still see billy smiling when we finally made it !! It’s about seeing your friends happy-it’s what life is about !!!!
This dude got ripped off at the CMAs. An honest to goodness story telling country boy with an effortless voice. This has got to be at least the third or fourth time they snubbed him on entertainer of the year.
I agree 100%! He's awesome!
He called Garth and award shows out i love it
Hell you know the cma are a fucking joke when you look at the past winners of entertainer of the year. Eric Church don't need that award for the fans to know he's better than those guys just listen to his music
I completely agree with you. However, the numbers don't lie and it's all about the money. Garth is still bringing in nearly 80 million a year. The extremely talented Eric Church hasn't hit 70 yet, i don't think?
Well. It's nice to know Eric Church fans aren't sheep. We are the goats
Congrats to Eric for winning Entertainer Of The Year at the CMA Awards 2020!
@Eric Church🔹 This song means so much to me. Gets me every time ❤️
Reminds me of my son & his friends .. his best friend’s name Billy

RIP Davey Allison. This was his favorite and home track. In the end it ended up claiming him sadly. Every time I hear this song I think of Davey and that Texaco machine. #28ForEver
When I was a little boy I occasionally would watch Nascar with my neighbor. It was simple entertainment but I remember several of the names and I became attached to the #52 (who I rarely saw) who shared my last name and my friend liked the #2 who shared his first name, Dale (he later drove the #3). I watched little racing for years but I always loved fast roaring cars and saw some highlights on ESPN. Fast forward to 1993 and I had a dependable pickup and spent the summer traveling in the Southeast as my friend had moved outside Atlanta (from LA). On the way I drove right past Talladega on I-20 and thought "so that's the speedway; DAMN its big!" Later that summer Davey was killed in the helicopter there. Fast forward to 2007 I had just posted up in OKC and decided I was going to Talladega for October race(by this time I was an avid racing fan and especially NASCAR). It was a fun time and for anyone who hasn't gone to the track let me tell you camp in the free camping areas (about 3/4 mile from track) and enjoy a Mardi Gras like experience!! Races were good too (Trucks, Cup)
Only song that can make me cry. Lost my neighbor that lived across from me, sweet old man, was found dead yesterday in his home.. He loved nascar. Rip
+PaintNCreate Very sorry to here about your neighbor... I hope he was known by the Lord Jesus! I love this song and the older videos Eric used in this video. I always love seeing the everyday life videos from the early past. Pictures of the past that have so much meaning!! So much emotion involved in them that goes with the beat and words of the song... Hope you find joy in the future!
+Brian Tams thanks Brian :) I hope he knew Jesus too!❤️
PaintNCreate so sorry for ya
MissySueArt sorry

I discovered his songs while I was studying for my exams. I was so worried and stressed but when I played his songs like this one and Springsteen, cold one and many more, I felt so calm. I am graduated now and I really believe I owe part of that to Mr Church. Music can be magical!
Amen BLESS YOU :-)!
Kord Douglas Thank you kindly friend! May you have a lovely day!
THAT'S COOL! wow powerful
badass
+Randy Thompson BEST writer in the Music industry hands down
Damn, this song never really hit me until my grandpa died two years ago. He was a big influence in my life. Then 2020 happened and it's just been a rough 2 years. Miss him every day. Only made it to 66 but I think he felt like he had completed all his life goals, was always willing to help someone no matter if they had any beef. Love you grandpa Ray.
Looked up to my grandpa as well. He passed away in April of this year, exactly 2 months before his 80th birthday. Biggest role model and the best friend I had on this earth
I'm 60 years old and have spent more time at 'Dega than any other track on the NASCAR tour.
Watched Elliott set the all-time qualifying record, Earnhardt win and a host of other great memories.
I'd buy this man a beer. All radio stations should be playing this mans music. The voice, talent and meaning behind all his songs is a rare commodity these days. A Commodity which the world needs. If everyone listened to the meanings behind this great mans music, the vast majority would live their lives happy. Eric you are one great artist and I look forward to listening to you for years to come. Thank you
Amen. I get the impression you'd love my music. Its kinda country but kinda contemporary. I sing n write about real stuff and I write well. Give my channel a listen bud. Actually just covered this song
Derek Hoyt shut the fuck up
Preciate it Brah
+Derek Hoyt If you say "brah" you ain't country.
MineOps4321
Yeah ok bruh
Eric Church’s voice is my favorite it’s so recognizable to me.
First heard this song the day my grandpa died. Always makes me think of the memories I made with him, and helps me to realize how important it is to let everyone close to you know how much you love them
Fun fact: Despite the song being named after and revolving around the Talladega Superspeedway, the music video is actually filmed at the Nashville Superspeedway.
Probably because that’s where he spends most of his time.
yeah because I noticed that the finishline was on a banking at talladega the finish line is not
Yep I was there as a rigger the day this was filmed
David Roberts was that an actor or his real grandpa?
@@adamsaffell2361 Ray Jackson is the ww2 veterans name. He was in his early 90s then. Eric's grandfather was sick when Eric was just 10 iirc. Id have to ask Eric or Kenneth Eric is what his name actually is. Kenneth Eric Church.
Thanks again Eric CHURCH for your ability to touch the hearts and life of so many people who truly appreciate and respect,& love your Music!
Kord Douglas you are a grate man and your music will live on forever!!!!!!! much love bro....
5 laps ...GO time....TJ For Tj copywriter LERNER TJ PUBLISHING INC thx denny hamlets
I love this song - Talladega. - genuine sincere thank you Eric Church. - this song really does mean a lot to me. I've lived in the USA pretty much my entire life , - and I genuinely & patriotically do love this great country , and I love my wife - my sweetheart , very very much.... - when my beloved wife , and our family , helped me to become a dual citizen - this song was , and is , a very powerful inspirational and great song for me personally. """" 'wing & prayer - 65 - I can still see Billy smilin'.... - 'sure would like to stay. - Talladega. """" - - thank you Eric. - I am grateful & very appreciative. I love your songs ❤️ Brother.
Such a powerful message, live your life well, remember every moment in your life, we only live once folks. Dont take it for granted, cuz cross that finish line and we dont know how far away our finish line is. Do as much as you can in your life.
My Grandma died 2 years ago and she had something in her stomach that killed her insides. Last time i saw her she was on a stretcher at my Aunts house. Thanks Eric for what you do you're songs brighten my day thank you.
Eric Church is one of the best songwriters in country music today.
Stick0413 YESSSS !!
Stick0413 true that big fella
Stick0413 yes I you come ko
You're joking, right?
Stick0413 I always say the same thing. He definitely has a gift for writing songs
This song makes me think of when I went to Talledega with my Dad years ago. I paid for everything and it was the best 5 days, so many wonderful memories. We lost him in February 2018, and I cannot listen to this song or watch this video without crying.
I am using this opportunity to say a very big thank to some of my fans for always supporting me in my music career and i want you to always make sure you keep up the support.

Talladega nights baby 😉💯
@@serbcanuck i love talladaga nights
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
This song is very emotional for me. My grandpa was a NASCAR fan. It breaks my heart when heard this song. 😭
Talladega, good ole number 3, the Intemadator!!! Miss you Senior!
My mom just passed away this week. Thank you this song reminds me of how good the times were when we were young. R IP mom
My Dad and I watched NASCAR every Sunday. I miss him when I watch NASCAR alone now. ❤
I’m from Asia but the way he sung it made me feel like I’ve experienced the country and the tracks even though I’ve never been to one before. Man gotta do it once
It's funny how music can touch the soul no matter the color😢
@@3legend552 well it’s a form of art that with the right vessel will be able to transcend across, and country is one of it, with him of course amongst a few others too. Just wished I could have enjoyed the country
@@ryanwithacapitalByou still can!
miss you dad!!now I'm the dad that should handle everything.. heavy load!!! but I got this pops...I got this.thank you for being a real man!!!!!!!
It nooo hut and
Mkiu7 I'm zero 80but
3 years later and I still miss you dad.....
@@michaelknox5976 Take it from me, you always will. But you keep his memory alive, and can laugh for him at things he would have laughed at, and get angry for him about things which would have made him angry. You are now his voice. And it sounds like he was quite a man and raised you right. God Bless his soul and you and the rest of his family that he left behind. I am confident that you will see him again.
I get mad goosebumps when I listen to this
yes dude this song gets to me
Same.
Jj
same here…..years later, its like looking back at the best road trips of my life with friends and looking forward to the next one!! ahhhh the beauty of music and the greatness of EC!
Troy MI
this song reminds of my dad who pass away 2 years ago Miss You Dad so much
Everytime this song comes on I think of my son and I watching our favorite nascar driver Ryan blaney. And Ryan blaney happens to be very good at talladega.
Saw Eric for the first time live in Wichita last night. Absolutely immaculate performance! Own all four of his studio albums, listened to each a hundred times and not a single bad song yet. I think I speak for most when I say I hope this man keeps writing and performing music.
Eric Church just kills it live! I've been to one of his concerts and just loved it. He's one of the few that sounds exactly the same live and on cd!
Im seeing him in spokane washington in January and cant wait to see him!
Im seeing him soon, and even better, hes starting for Kenny Chesney on Kennys "American Kids" tour. Seeing it in Daytona beach, so excited
Dear God, this song beautifully breaks my heart. Will forever be a favorite.

I’m taking my wife and niece to talladega April 19th 2024 I’ve been when I was a kid it’s their first time, but I really hope they have the time of their lives!!!!
I'm trying to convince my dad to take me to the fall talladega race
this song hits you right in the feels
brett mahns thanks
No runaway
It hurts man
I’m Filipino American when I heard this song. I’m a racer too , more power buddy.God bless
My grandpa, Hershel L. Jackson. Biggest nascar fan I knew. Former pro racer in a western midget series, won a lot of races in his day. Passed away May 3rd 2021 at 79 to cancer. The week prior the NASCAR series raced at Talladega, at this time he was still coherent enough to speak, said to my mom “if your gonna put me in a home, just make sure it’s after Talladega” that was never an option and he did pass at his home. He just wanted one more race and he got it. I miss you so much Grandpa and I hope your in the afterlife driving something FAST and racing against all the drivers that you looked up to.
Listening today when I seen the nascar race is at talladega this weekend
This song reminds me of my grandfather who talked to me a lot about the 50s and I always said to him I wish we could go back to that time but now he died and is flying high and I miss him so much I would do anything to have him back but I know I can't 😢😢😢😢😢😢 RIP 3-24-15 love u pap
Travis Rubright I don't know ubut I feel ur pain
+Patrick McGregor thanks man at least someone knows how I feel
+planb1532190 same like my pap was 70 and died this year
Sorry for your loss he sounds like he was a great man and grandpa
He really was
Don't know why but this song hit me a few days ago and hasn't left
Same here. Been a week now
same
Took me a few times listening to it but love it now
man this is up there with the greats..
Songd deep slot of meaning
Listening to this song at midnight while driving down country roads in my 97 Chevy k2500 the night before senior year of high school starts... Why does time have to go so fast?
I remember feeling the same way. So many people tell you they feel otherwise, and that they can't wait to go to college/grow-up/etc. They aren't cherishing the beautiful times and people they are with and it's just a bit unfortunate. Keep on keeping on 👍🏼(I am 22 btw, not some boomer)
Enjoy your senior year. I'm 49. I graduated in 1989 feels like yesterday. I'll probably be dead by time you reach my age. Just crazy how fast it goes. Find your soulmate innlife and never take them for granted. Life will try to destroy your dreams, but be strong!
@Music Is Life i know. Broke up with a chick about a year ago. We were opps and it didn't work after 3yrs. We're still friends though
Dang I just started my 8th garde year and I got hella good friends and one of them had cancer. Docs said he was going to live to see middle school but he still here and no longer has cancer
Eric Church is the man. This guy Brett McDaniel is good too. czcams.com/video/nWpwnKcJzrY/video.html great music is great music. Talladega is my jam
Saw him summer of 22 in San Diego, has to be my favorite song
He rocked it !!
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away....Memories are a cherished gift....Intense video, makes you think !
I love this song, reminds me of when we went to Talladega as children and Paw Paw taking us to dirt track racing every Friday night!
I thought he should be entertainer of the year at least 3 times but he won't because he won't change for no one Eric church dude u are true country man I loved this guy in 2004 how about u I heard it I knew man I said dude u watch this guy is our savior why can't everyone do this it sucks justin Moore is another one but he don't even perform at the cmas he's probably to country I guess lol
Yes we hit the short tracks when I was a kid . And a number of trips to Talladega saw the first race there.
I play this song every morning nascar is racing at talladega
Reminds me of my old friend Rockin Randall.... hope you are out there shooting roman candles
This is by far my favorite Eric Church song, mainly because the title is the name of my favorite NASCAR track, and every time I hear it I instantly think about the NASCAR races I've been to.
Man this video hits home. I leave for Air Force basic training in 4 days and this video really makes me reminisce about a lot of the good times I've had growing up with my family and buddies. Gonna miss a lot. Really glad I got to see this before I leave! Rock on EC!!
Good luck and God Bless!
From a army combat veteran you'll have some your best memories while serving and meet friends you have for a life time good luck.
I was in the AF for 8 years and my wife for 20. Make the most of every day and person you come across. May God watch over you on your travels. Good luck and God bless!
Thanks for ur service cuz
This song reminds me of my first Talladega trip, 4 friends that just wanted to go and experience it, 5 hours away we hopped in an old mini van leaving at 5am, as we pulled up to the track this song was on and we all just got goosebumps as the track finally came into view. We went with barely enough money to eat and buy gas, so when it rained out til Monday we had a hard choice, go home, or sleep in the van and come back, we slept in that van in the Walmart parking lot. We never let the bad weather or anything ruin our good time as we sat around the back of that van listening to some good tunes having our own little tailgate in that parking lot. I’ll never forget that and we all still talk about it to this day
what about the liquor store you knocked off?
Same here, driving from mobile al and just enjoying life. The years fly bye just like that.
Every April and October I play this song when NASCAR goes to Talladega
I love this song. My dad passed in 2011 and he absolutely loved NASCAR. Watching this video makes me feel like I am back with him and my mom at the track.
+msmit245 Sorry about your loss. I hope your daddy is in a better place and enjoying all the NASCAR with the best seat available.
+tilo dyer Thank you for your kind words.
Thanks for the love❤️ and support you showered on me,it's been a wonderful year having fans like solidly
behind me😊, this is my way of saying thank you🙏to the people who brought me this far.I hope you never
stop listening to my music,you are very beautiful and you seem to be a very nice person❤️...
Where are you supporting me from?
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
I'm far away from Tallageda and USA, however this song hits my heart every time I'm hearing it. I guess that regardless where we are living we all miss these happy and reckless days of the past...
Hell yeah! Good song!
Hi my Grandpa died on December 4th that's why you love this song he's up in heaven
Rip.
Hey dear fan, I'm so sorry about your loss please accept my condolences...😢
This is my favorite song by the Chief. However, I do wish this music video was actually filmed at Talladega Superspeedway. Would've been much cooler. It's a bit odd hearing about Talladega Superspeedway when looking at Nashville Superspeedway.
Lol same I just started saying Nashville instead of Talladega
*instaphamous dot com* got me 2,192 instagram followers so far today
***** No, it's about reminiscing on great times had. However, the setting for the great memory is Talladega Superspeedway. The song isn't about Talladega, but this song is like a story, and the setting is Talladega. Whether or not it's about Talladega, we should still be seeing Talladega rather than Nashville when hearing about Talladega.
Joshua Therrien That is a very touching interpretation, but the song doesn't say anything about a WWII veteran or someone passing away. I'm not sure where you got that idea, maybe it's your own personal connection, but it is a very touching one. To further elaborate on my explanation, the song is simply about cherishing great times with loved ones. The superspeedway is just the setting for this narration. Please don't think I'm insulting your interpretation. As I said, it's a very touching interpretation of this song. I think with how general this song is (it's not specific as to who's enjoying the race, we just know it's three friends, one of them driving his dad's Winnebago), we can each make our own specific interpretations. You know, our own interpretations don't even have to be about Talladega. I cherish my days as a young boy going to California Speedway with my mom and good friend. We've been going every year since 2002. I can listen to "Talladega" and think about how much I love the great times we've had and continue to have at Auto Club Speedway.
"I wanted it to be about the emotional attachment that people have to a memory that involved going to a race. It wasn't about the race. It was about being with the people there and having that escapism." - Eric Church
Gator Jeaux the lyrics don't have to mention what the video shows the video is there to help you understand the meaning of the song.
Brings back lots of memories from when a bunch of us guys used to grt together every year and head down 65 to Talladega back in the 90's. What great times we had back then. Things were ALOT different at Dega then and the party was 24/7 non-stop from Thursday til Monday for us all. Good times !! RIP Dale Sr. !! Sterlin Marlin won the first WINSTON CUP RACE I went to there.
Before the punks threw beers @ 24 ruined a good thing.They have that affect.
I was born December 4th and I had a great time growing up but I was with a Great bunch of friends and. That's what makes this song so great to me, thanks Eric you and the band.
The William Rd.friends love you all.Tim D.1979
My grandparents lived close enough to hear the teams doing winter testing at Talladega. There both gone now and this song reminds of them and so many memories , It tears me up hearing it.
This Album snuck up on me..... took a few listens, but now one of my all time faves!
its a creeper
Creepin'!

Man...i gotta tell you and im not ashamed to admit this song almost brings me to tears,as i remember my youth and good friends.Good times past and reminiscing,I think it touches us all in a different way,but if you just close your eyes and listen to the song your good memories will come back and make you smile......kinda squishy i know,but its the truth.
The line about October Winds get me every time. I was a diehard NASCAR and Dale Jr fan as a 8 year old in 2014, and I got to go to the 2014 fall and 2015 fall Cup races. This song means a lot to me. Thank you, Mr. Church.
Dale Sr at Talledega. Watching the races with gramps. First beers. Best friends. Fast cars. ❤

I think we drove past Talledega Spredway in 2011 heading to Memphis to see Graceland.
Great song.
Eirc needs to play this song at Talladega for the last race of the season
Everything from the message in the song to the music itself makes this a damn good song. Keep it up Eric.
Go Jimmie!
+Grizzlygaming88 go dale
my Grandpa like the to see u guys to race
This guy is so genuine. You just get the feeling that he sings what he means and he means what he sings. We could use more like him.
My dad and me would always sing this song when he took me on calls with him before he died when I was 7 everytime i hear this song I remember it all
I belive music can heal almost anything i have had a rough and shitty life but most on my own actions. Eric church has saved me from trying to take my life twice and pepole say country music is depressing... But to me he gives me motivation.
Fun fact, Some of this music video was filmed at Nashville Superspeedway.
When I listen to and watch Eric play his songs, the music feels like home. Just watching and feeling im there it feels so good. Other artist songs or video do not give me this filling. He has a sound that in the sweet spot, and CMT needs to let this mans music out.
Sick pussy
I can not agree more. I discovered his songs while I was studying for my exams. I was so worried and stressed but when I played his songs like this one and Springsteen, cold one and many more, I felt so calm. I am graduated now and I really believe I owe part of that to Mr Church. Music can be magical!
why say such a thing and show your must be a kid? looking for attention. She likes Eric, so do I
Hey man if this song aint nostalgic than i dont know what is...
Just when I thought it was dead.... He breathed life back into country music
Everytime I hear this I see #3 doing the thing he lived for. RIP Dale driving around in heaven.
My God that guitar at the end makes my eyes fill with tears and just like it's over and I am left wondering why.
Don't know if Eric Church ever checks his comments, but if you do I want to personally thank you, Luke Laird, and the band for writing this song!!! It was the only thing getting me through Basic Training down at Lackland Air Force Base and all the other hard challenges that comes with this job...Every time I hear , "As that checkered flag was weaving" it always brings me back to my hometown, Shelby NC, when my brother and I went to Lowes Motor Speedway (great times)...Thanks for the support, I love the video!!!! It goes along way.. Can't lie it brought me to tears..
Rip what a shock too young. My twin was Mathew James /Daniel braden 44 on the 29th . Sept . Only lived for half an hour when I was 16.
Sorry about that ❤️
Love this song . Eric Church's guitar skills are underrated
I hope that when we are at the last lap of our time here, we can look back on good memories and friendships
One of the best songs ever written.....Eric ❤
Racing today at Talladega, still the BEST!
Hoping Mr. Harvick can win one today At Talladega!
A true music artist. Amazing music with great stories attached. Can't wait to see the Chief in concert in April
Agreeee !
My uncle was like a father to me. He passed a few months ago and this song was the one played after the funeral session. I haven’t lived the greatest life and I’m pretty hardened when it comes to “sad” things but every time I hear this song I think of my uncle and I cry or come real close every time. I miss you uncle Brett. Have fun up there man I’ll see you soon.
Best part: Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon, until the Alabama sun was breaking. 1:35. Best uplifting break up a country song.
Happy father's day.beautiful song.and ty all for your service.
I like how he's not one of those mad celebrity and media crazy singers, he lives a real life, not the celebrity fantasy. So that's why his songs connect to people like no others.
