This man has the perfect country voice. No disrespect to George or any other country artist, but Alan's voice just speaks to me. Solid country. Love, love, love his voice.

This song was dedicated to my grandfather by the priest in their small southern town.. It was played at his funeral in front of 400 people. Family man, rancher, honorary director for Texas cattle raising association, county commissioner, county judge, man of the year in agriculture, POW korea, but most importantly, my grandfather. This song warms my heart and make me smile so big every time I hear it. Almost like it was written for him.

This song reminds me of my grandpa. He was a small town boy from Michigan. After he graduated high school, he married my grandma and had my dad, aunt, and uncle shortly after. They relocated to California for my grandpa’s work. Even though he’s been living in California after all these years, he’s still a midwest man at heart.

To be hardworking, honest, humble, and love your family, love your wife or husband. To put yourself second behind them. Support our country, respect and help others. To put your faith in God.

In the heart of country music land, A voice rings out so clear and grand. With his cowboy hat and guitar in hand, Alan Jackson's the name of this southern man. His twangy voice, so smooth and warm, Sings of love, heartbreak, and life's many storms. He paints pictures of small-town charm, With tales of whiskey, women, and farms. From "Chattahoochee" to "Remember When", His songs take us back to where we've been. He's sung of angels and the devil's sin, And captured the spirit of Americana within. With over twenty albums to his name, Alan Jackson's legacy will always remain. A true legend of country music's game, A shining star in its hall of fame.

Too bad he's Italian and doesn't understand the words, but the expressions and the images tell everything well. They talk about love and that of the 50s still with healthy behaviors and feelings. A whole life spent working to support his family, his children and in the certainty of faith. I can only say after reading the Italian translation that it's a wonderful song by Alan, sung in a sublime voice! Great music in the States! . 🤗👍🗽 .Peccato che io sia italiano e non capisca le parole, ma le espressioni e le immagini raccontano bene tutto. Parlano d'amore e di quello degli anni 50 ancora con comportamenti e sentimenti sani. Tutta una vita passata al lavoro per mantenere una sua famiglia, i suoi figli e nella certezza della fede. Posso solo dire dopo aver letto la traduzione in italiano che è una meravigliosa canzone di Alan, cantata con una voce sublime! Grande musica negli States!

First heard this song while airborne on a trip to Dubai in 2019. Couldn't just stop as it resonated with my reality. I appreciate my beloved dad and mum for their sacrifice and commitment to raising us their children. I pray for more long life fothem both.

Alan could not sleep after the attack on the World Trade Center. Pop music wanted him to change a lot of his song "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?" Make it more pop instead of country so that pop agencies could make more money off it. He didn't care about the money. He would not back down and he would not change the song. That is courage.

If you're feeling down, listen to classic country music. Nothing makes you feel better than listening to a song about losing your truck, your barn, or your sweetheart!

George Jones was so proud of Mr. Jackson. He felt he was carrying on the tradition. Quite an endorsement.

All your songs have something special. This is mainly due to your wonderful way of singing, but also to the choice of very good musicians and of course the good compositions and lyric writing. All of this was essential to be so successful and you certainly didn't miss it! Thanks as always Alan for your beautiful songs. ❤

Hello,how are you doing

Canadian here. I consider this song as "small town northern man" My farmer/rancher grandfather grew up in a small town, met my grandma a small town over. Christian man, Built his own house, started his own businesses, had 4 daughters, then a son. Worked his ass off for all of it and instilled that to his kids and down on. This song is eerily similar to his life, aside from Southern and the uncle Sam line. This song is him, always gives me good memories.

Talent is not discussed. Alan Jackson is respected here in Brazil as well. Here's a real country and no fad.😉👍🇧🇷!

Could anyone wish for more? If you you try your best, If you're lucky enough to find a good woman to settle down with, lucky enough to raise your own kids and family and make it work all the while being true to yourself and beliefs...And live a life you can hang your hat on....that's the real American dream. We all die, some of us never live.
