Alan Jackson - Drive (For Daddy Gene) (Official Music Video)

[@orvalaltwasser505]

It’s just past midnight, and it’s another sleepless night. My dad died in 1997 of cancer, at the age of 82 , and when I was 45. There hasn’t been a day since his death , that I haven’t thought of him. Tonight in my sleep deprived stupor , I thought of him again, and this song. Dad used to prop me up on his lap to steer our old 1939 Chevy Pickup truck, back to town from the farm. Allan Jackson, tonight, brought that precious memory , crashing back again into my 72 year old head. Beautiful song , Mr Jackson! Love you daddy!😢

[@BentleyTypeR]

Know what you mean, lost my grandfather who was my father figure since I was 14 months old, now I'm 19, he passed away about a month ago. Miss him more everyday. The moments you have with your father will always hold a special place in your heart!!

[@toddclayton4125]

[@melliott333]

Eldest grandson lived with me his last year in high school -- at his request -- and, also at his request, I taught him to drive, helped him study the DPS handbook, and took him to take his test. He aced it and was, and still is, a very good driver.

@@richardpetzoldt5284 there are a lot of great alan jackson songs. but i am biased. i like bologna or baloney and i hate phoney baloney. i remembered when the world stopped turning on 9-11-2001 when the twin towers crashed and burned from the tallest buildings in new york to a pile of rubble not very high. everyone above were the planes crashed ended in the hands of god. i might be mistaken most of people below the planes impact zone survived with the exception of the first responders trying to rescue survivors and quenching the fire. it was not easy no working elevators and the building was not engineered to take jumbo jets full of jet fuel crashing in to the twin towers and it took 10 years to build. now look at the freedom tower took 20 years to build from the subground and that bathtub surrounding block that came crashing also. ( a hotel and citigroup's smith barney building and possibly more. i know enough to be dangerous and i do not know it all. like alan i do not know the difference between turkey where there are radar stations supporting nato peace keeping. we were friends with iran while the shaw of iran was in charge. it broke down when the aitolla Komeni took charge. iraq was another mess with Saddam hussien and the fires of the oil fields and the potential of weapons of mass confusion and destruction. way to much misinformation. barak obama's team of military got bin laden. smoking joe biden got the talle-me-banana number 2 man shot down dead with a drone. hellava mess in the middle east.

Me too. I had tears when I heard it on the radio and still today it moves me. My dad let me drive boats and cars as a kid.

[@stephz5429]

Listen, y’all…. First of all, when the f*** is KZbin going to follow suit and create a “heart/love” reaction to comments??? And videos in general I guess. 🙄🥹 BUT…. I’m not from the south; in fact I’m born and raised smack-dab in the Midwest: La Crosse, WI. The specific locations mentioned in this song, I’ve never been to but I replace them with the ones that the sentiment of this song sings about. Along the Mississippi! Ever heard of The World’s Largest 6 Pack of Beer? That’s my town. My ancestors started it. (Look up Zeisler 1800’s if you want to know more!) but the sentiment of this song is beautiful, all around; through and through; and the way I see it, regardless of the relationship you have with your Daddio, if this song reminds you of him, that’s some true love right there. Although it stings, I rejoice in my ability to cherish the memories when I choose to acknowledge their pain & beauty. There’s just something about being 30 and remembering the “good old days” when life was different and you were 10 but your dad would let you drive the Johnson or the Ford and you were just wild and free. I thank you and apologize to anyone who has read this far; sometimes I have a couple too many drinks, put my headphones in, and dive balls first down memory lane and leave comments like this on videos like these bc the chances of anyone seeing them are SO SLIM that i don’t worry about a charged conversation. Also, If you ARE reading this, and you’re feeling some type of way, I see you & I feel you. 🙏♥️ Alright that will be all. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart if you actually read that. And if you are and you wanna talk, I’m here. I hope you know it’s nothing but true, sincere love my friends 🙏♥️♥️ ♥️

[@danielpotyok7446]

This song makes me think of things I haven''t thought of in ages, but they're memories that will never be forgotten. I remeber as a kid,, my dad took me to the empty racetrack parking lot in grampas old car after he passed away. I couldn't have been more than 9 or 10 years old, and in that big empty parking lot, dad let me drive grampas old Impala. That was a lot of car for a little kid., and i never knew why dad did it, but imagine he had a similar memory with him and grampa. I got 4 kids of my own now,, and there was no way i was letting them.learn to drive from my wife.. I've taught all of them to ride a bike and put three of four on the road now.. One of the greatest treasures of my life as a dad to make those memories with my kids. Alan Jackson is the greatest IMO. Simple, God fearing, faithful family man, and an absolute treasure for using music to help us polish the memories of our lives into priceless gems. God bless Alan Jackson.

Couldn’t have written it better. Alan wrote the song for me and my dad. This song has reminded me of my dad for years and was part of my memorial to him at his funeral. I knew it was special when I saw Alan at the Houston livestock show and rodeo and he dedicated it to Daddy Gene.

[@cantbuyrespect]

I aint got much money to spend on things like new boats and whatnot but I just restored an old bass tracker pt175 boat that I got for $800. It had trees growing in it. Well after a long 2 years of restoration work on and off (I work full time so had to work on it in my spare time) my daughter has gone from 2 years old to 4 years and that old bass tracker boat went from having trees growing in it to going on its first voyage in ages. I can't wait for the memories my daughter and I are about to make in this old bass tracker.

this makes me tear up, I think about my Dad letting me drive the boat or teach me to drive a car, glad I still have him

Alan Jackson Played Craven Last year, A Country Festival in Canada with over 30 thousand people lasting 3 days. He showed up for his night of Performances in a Old pickup Truck with blue jeans and a cowboy hat. The Security Didn't believe it was Alan Jackson so he sat outside patiently for an hour before it was finally cleared up and some extremely embarrassed security guards working crap duty the rest of the festival later.. He got up and rocked the stage better then the headliners and was voted best Performer of the festival. Just a Class act and the most humble 6 ft blonde cowboy you'll ever meet.

My dad use to bring me to empty parking lots when I was 8-9 and let me drive his car. He passed away when I was 10 this song has so much meaning to me. I’m 28 now and a father of two beautiful children and am now creating the same great memories my father left me with. We bought a 16ft 80s fiber glass boat and fixed her up this summer and let the kids drive. I get emotional hearing this song because it reminds me of the past future and present.
