I mean, is there a better line than "I was born in the spring time of the '57 Chevy"?

My dad drove a truck for four or five years. And I went with him on some of his runs. So this song might lean a little too much on truck driving metaphors, but you can mostly understand what he's getting at. FWIW, diesel fuel tanks were (maybe still are) prone to condensation, which could cause the motor to seize up if the situation wasn't resolved. Usually by adding more pure fuel.

Also, it's a ***** to turn around an 18-wheeler if you get stuck down a dead end road ...

Yeah. Somewhat quietly, there's been an undercurrent of artists keeping the real spirit of country music alive.

Right here is my newest favorite and I pray that we have not heard the last of him already. To me, he is only just an angel who is walking amongst us common folk.



God bless you and him always!!!

Kermit never once smiled like John does.

God bless you and John always!!!

P.S. Starting at the 1:20 mark of this clip here you can watch John sing a song that he wrote himself and it is the song that has officially been released through his being the American Idol runner up. Fair warning though, a box of tissues could be mandatory when watching him here. John most certainly could've used one himself.
