Lee Brice - I Drive Your Truck REACTION! AWW MAN THIS BROKE ME DOWN

[@tmhulkst]

this song was written with the story from a father who lost his son who was a soldier overseas. He would drive his sons truck to feel him again

[@joel5716]

Oh I thought it was about a brother who lost a brother

[@joel5716]

@kyndakrazy oh ok thanks

[@tmhulkst]

@kyndakrazy inspired was the word i was looking for. it was inspired by a true story

[@lawou8989]

The Song is about a father on how he remembers his son who was a Soldier - SSG Jared Monti (13F Forward Observer) who was killed in action while trying to save a fellow wounded soldier (3 times) during an attack in Afghanistan. For his actions he was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2009.

[@elizabethstanford6826]

@@lawou8989 The story is about the father and son but they asked him not to make it about a father and a son because it was just too painful. So they worded it about a brother missing his brother and if you listen to it you will hear him talking to his mother and she asked him did you go by your brother's grave and then close to the end of the video he says brother I drive your truck.

[@melissakardos3715]

I lost my brother 13 years ago and yes I still drive his truck ! I keep it up and for most of the year my jag sits in the garage cuz I’m bouncing around in an old ford truck. I don’t think he minds.

[@dmike03]

Melissa Kardos I lost my little brother to drugs and I got his truck. So I completely understand how you feel! This is one of those songs I gotta listen to alone cuz I straight up ugly cry! I’m sorry for your loss!

[@shelbyholcombe8731]

It's a way to connect to them. Just know they smile down on you while you remember them. Make those stories till you see them again.

[@chevy-br6oo]

I lost my grandfather in 2005 and still driving his truck. Feel him everyday.

[@sandersrk]

@Christi Hinson I'm not going to say anything about you wishing him dead. I think I know what you meant, but how you said it was harsh. Brother Hinson, keep your head down, lol!

[@brianjones5872]

This song is about a dad who lost his son, Jared Monti, KIA (2006) in Afghanistan. He served in 3/71 CAV, 10th Mountain Division and who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for making 3 attempts to save one of his soldiers during an attack of their observation post, being killed by an RPG on the third attempt. His dad's coping mechanism is the basis of this song. Climb to Glory!

[@elizangelaridgell2010]

Brian Jones not his son, but his brother.

[@natelabonte2035]

Elizangela ridgell no he lost his son. They are from my town

[@elizangelaridgell2010]

Nate Labonte dude he even says his brother in the song. But okay

[@natelabonte2035]

Elizangela ridgell but the true story has to do with the dad driving his sons truck

[@stormie8009]

Elizangela ridgell basically two stories that are telling the same story but with a different family member

[@ashleefrost7853]

The songs actually about his brother dying!!!! “Momma asked me this morning if I’ve been by your grave, but that flag and stone ain’t where I feel you anyway” and also at the end he says “yeah sometimes brother I drive your truck”. The family is his brothers at the end!

[@seanhebert3715]

It’s not about his brother a forger asked him to write a song about his son that died in the army I watch the interview about it

[@jeanniedeluca1385]

Ashlee is referring to in the video. It's his brother's truck that he drives

[@seanhebert3715]

Jeannie DeLuca no it’s a song about a guys son who died wile deployed look it up bud

[@zk6754]

It was deep. Took me a while to realize it. Grandpa was my hero in every sense of the word. It hurt to let him go. But I knew he’d be up with grandma, mom, & dad. It hurt hearing his daughter telling him to let go. Let go and go meet grandma & dad. But that line about I’m not feeling him at his grave. His soul, his peace was at home.

[@christopherdreeszen6822]

@@seanhebert3715 in the video its refering to his brother the song otself is about a father/son but the video is brother/brother

[@lanceledbetter8037]

This song goes out to a friend who just passed away he loved driving his truck

[@valeries2037]

Lee heard a story about a military father who lost his son on the radio one day driving. He said he had to pull over the story got to him so much. He was in contact with the father about making the song. The person in the video (that drives the truck, etc) is Lee's actual brother, Lewis. So he made it even more personal by featuring his actual family. If I'm not mistaken, the money for the song went towards Veterans as well.

[@DanielDavee]

Oh, I didn’t know it was his brother in the video

[@nightmareman9960]

Man this song was what helped me get threw the death of my grandfather. We used to just ride around in his truck all the time when I was young. So it always reminded me of him

This song got me when I first heard it! I lost a brother during his 6th deployment. I have two other brothers that served. My oldest brother just retired after 26 years in the Army and our other brother is a Marine, currently on his 2nd deployment. Our first deployment since we lost our brother.. it’s been rough!

[@belleferrar8898]

This song makes my screen all blurry every single time I watch the video. A real emotional tribute to a Warrior!!

[@MelSoCal2011]

In the song, the lyric says: Momma asked me if I'd been by your grave.. The song was inspired when he heard about a father that drove his son's dodge truck, after the son had been killed on duty.

[@motobro00]

Thank you so much for reacting to this song finally! I love this song and cry every time I hear it. My grandpa passed away a few years ago and when he passed away my grandma gave me his truck. This song reminds me of my grandpa in so many ways and it’s just such an amazing and beautiful song. Very emotional for me.

this song gets me everytime. i lost my grandfather while in basic training, it hit me hard. this song make me miss driving his truck, he wasnt military but still, i wish i could have seen him one time

[@kimwatchesstuff]

Billy you so crazy: Cracks A joke when the video starts. Billy you so emotional: I'm here!

[@75downs]

This song was actually written for a mother and father that had lost their son. They drove his truck to soothe their grief. Lee Brice delivers the emotion intended, in this song. The video depicts him losing his brother. The emotion is so felt.

[@jodyburger1979]

People arguing about this song.... A. Lee Brice didn't write the song. Google it. B. In the video it does portray a brother who loses his brother. C. Co-writer Connie Harrington was inspired to write it after hearing an interview on Here and Now with a father, Paul Monti, whose son, Medal of Honor recipient Jared, was killed in Afghanistan while trying to save a fellow soldier. In the interview, he states that he drives the truck to feel close to his son.

The truth behind this story is actually a father mourning his son when Lee Brice heard about that he asked for permission to do a song about it.

Thanks, Billy! Honestly, when I miss my sister like that, I watch you react to songs like this about someone you love who died. I don't feel as alone. Patsy, my sister, died 20 years ago. Most of the time it's okay, but I still have days when I need to get it out. I appreciate you!

#RightInTheFeels; This song brings me to tears Every Single Time [for 2 reasons]! 1) It came out/debuted around the time of my great-grandfather's passing. 2) I already know that it will be describing me (with a few different details) when my grandfather eventually passes away, because he was also in the Army {stationed in Germany during Vietnam} and we have been extremely close my entire life..

This was a story about a father who lost his son overseas. He was engaged to one of my best friends. He was so unselfish and died while rescuing other soldiers. Although it was about a father/son relationship he nailed the emotional roller coaster we went with for her. Jared Monti died in the line of duty. He was amazing!!

This song is about Sergeant First Class Jared Monte. He was a 13F (Forward Observer) he lost his life in Afghanistan when he called for artillery fire support when another solider went down he tried to save his fellow soldiers life. He was awarded the Medal of Honor. His father was doing an interview on the radio when one of Lee Brices agents herd the story and asked the father if they could write a song about it. I know all of this because I’m a 13F and we learned about him at AIT.

My husband lost his father five years ago and inherited his truck. It's an old f250 that was an old work truck. My husband has polished and waxed it, fixed the broken seat, and every time something breaks he fixes it. And when he found this song it became one of his favorites. One of the hardest things for him has been not being able to ask his father how to fix it.

Good story song. Back in '41 war broke out with Japan, young men across the country came to their country's calling and my Uncle Johnnie did right out of high school. A year later in '42, he died as a POW during the Bataan Death March in the Philippines. I was born in '48 and dad named me after his brother, I carried his name through the canopies of Vietnam seared in my heart. I was a Point Man (U.S.M.C.) for my squad throughout my tour in Nam, the honor is still alive as long as there's breath in my soul. Gen. George S. Patton quoted, "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." RIP all military soldiers who gave their lives defending this great Nation.

[@obs_community9517]

I got my dads truck right before he passed away unexpectedly and I beat myself up everyday because three days after he passed away I rolled it 8 times and whenever I miss him I can’t drive his truck anymore but he did hold me through the wreck and kept me as safe as possible but this song really gets to me every single time I listen to it because that was the biggest thing in my childhood was riding in that truck with him then he taught me a lesson to straighten my life up with it
