Alan Jackson performed “Drive” At the 2021 A Capitol Fourth

Watch Alan Jackson as he performs one of his Number One hit “Drive (For Daddy Gene)” at the PBS’ annual Fourth of July broadcast, 2021 A Capitol Fourth. He is one of many top performers of the show. Alan performed from the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville with the stage decorated with a series of American flags.

Alan did a comment before he performed and uttered these beautiful words: “I lost my daddy and I wanted to write a song for him, and I didn’t want to write some old sad crying, dying thing so I started thinking about growing up, and all I ever wanted to do is drive something. He taught me all about that and that’s what this song’s about.”

Alan wrote “Drive (For Daddy Gene)” as a tribute to his late father, Eugene Jackson, who died in 2000. The song was released as the second single from Jackson’s 2002 album Drive and reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks and peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100.

About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. He grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family, and as a teenager he performed locally as part of a country duo. He left school to work and married his high-school sweetheart, Denise, who worked as an airline stewardess. In 1989, Jackson became the first artist signed to Arista’s new country division. Jackson’s debut album, Here in the Real World, was issued in 1990 and became a platinum-selling hit on the strength of four Top Five hits: the title cut, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,” “Wanted,” and the first of many chart-toppers, “I’d Love You All Over Again.” He shot to full-fledged superstardom with the follow-up, 1991’s Don’t Rock the Jukebox, whose title track was an inescapable number one smash that year.

Drive (For Daddy Gene) Lyrics

Alan Jackson

It’s painted red, the stripe was white
It was eighteen feet, from the bow to stern light
Secondhand, from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy, when he went there to get her

Put on a shine, put on a motor
Built out of love, made for the water
Ran her for years, ’til the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood, will never be forgotten

It was, just an old plywood boat
A ’75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can’t replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I would make it whine
He’d say, You can’t beat the way an old wood boat rides

Just a little lake across the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When daddy let me
Drive

Just an old half-ton shortbed Ford
My uncle bought new, in ’64
Daddy got it right, ’cause the engine was smoking
A couple of burnt valves, and he had it going

He’d let me drive her when we haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we’d dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I’d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
With three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
I can’t replace the way it made me feel and
And I would press that clutch
And I would, keep it right
He’d say, “a little slower son; you’re doing just fine”

Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When daddy let me
Drive

I’m grown up now
Three daughters of my own
I let them drive my old jeep
Across the pasture at our home

Maybe one day they’ll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
A nd think of me and smile
And say

It was just an old worn out jeep
Rusty old floor boards
Hot on my feet
A young girl, two hands on the wheel
I can’t replace the way it, made me feel
And he’d say turn it left
And steer it right
Straighten up girl now, you’re doing just fine

Just a little valley by the river where we’d ride
But I was high on a mountain
When daddy let me
Drive

Daddy let me drive

Oh he let me, drive

It’s just an old plywood boat
With a ’75 Johnson
With electric choke

Where Do I Put Her Memory Lyrics

Song by Charley Pride

I’ve taken down all of her pictures
I’ve cleaned out all of her drawers
I’ve painted over the scratches
From all of our little wars

I’ve put away every gift
That she ever gave to me
Now everything is in its place
Except for her memory

And where do I put her memory
When it haunts me night and day
I can’t hide it in the closet
And Lord, I can’t throw it away

And where do I put her memory
When it’s always in my mind
I can’t chase it, erase it, I just have to face it
It’s gonna be there a long, long time

I got rid of the pillow
Where she used to lay her head
I’ve picked up her hairpins and curlers
That she dropped on her side of the bed

I’ve locked away each souvenir
And thrown away the key
Now everything is in it’s place
Except for her memory

And where do I put her memory
When it’s always in my mind
I can’t chase it, erase it, I just have to face it
It’s gonna be there a long, long time
It’s gonna be there a long, long time

Someday Lyrics

Song by Alan Jackson

She looked me in the eye and said, “It’s over”
I can’t take this heartache anymore
She said, “Don’t tell me lies and try to please me
I’ve heard it all so many times before”

And I took her by the arm and said, “Don’t leave me
There’s nothin’ in this world I wouldn’t do
Just give me time, I’ll be the man you’ve needed”
She said, “I wish that I could take that for the truth”

And I said, “Someday
I’ll get my life straight”
And she said, “It’s too late
What’s done is done”
And I told her, “Someday”
She said, “I can’t wait
‘Cause sometimes someday just never comes”

She said, “All I’ve ever wanted was to love you
And somewhere deep inside me I still do
But now I think it’s time I stopped believin’
‘Cause I’m never gonna see a change in you”

And I said, “Someday
I’ll get my life straight”
And she said, “It’s too late
What’s done is done”
And I told her, “Someday”
She said, “I can’t wait
‘Cause sometimes someday just never comes
Oh, sometimes someday just never comes”

It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere Lyrics

Song by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett

The sun is hot and that old clock
Is movin’ slow, and so am I
Work day passes like molasses
In winter time, but it’s July

Getting paid by the hour
And older by the minute
My boss just pushed me
Over the limit

I could call him something,
Think I’ll just call it a day

Pour me something tall and strong.
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve. But I don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

This lunch break is gonna take
All afternoon, half the night
Tomorrow morning I know there’ll be hell to pay
But, hey, that’s all right

I ain’t had a day off now, in over a year
My Jamaican vacation’s gonna start right here
If the phone’s for me you can just tell them
I just sailed away

Pour me something tall and strong. Make it a big boy drink i don’t wanna think
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve. But I don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab
And be back to work before two
At a moment like this, I can’t help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do

Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve, but I don’t care

Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve. But I don’t care, no i don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Alabama

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
And oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
To everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful?
Or who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Ooh
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden?
Encumbered with a load I’ve carried
Precious Savior still I refuge, hmm
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
‘Cause in His arms
He’ll take and shield you
Thou will find no solace there

Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Just a Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Just a closer walk with thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Oh, I am weak but thou strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
Oh, as I walk, let me walk, close to thee (I’ll go on)

When my feeble life is o’er
In old time for me, will be no more
Well guide me gently, safely o’er
To thy kingdom, to thy shore, to thy shore

Oh, just (just a closer walk) a closer walk with thee
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk)
Oh, grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily (daily walking) walking close to thee
Oh, let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be

Just (just a closer walk) a closer walk with thee
(Just a closer walk)
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily walking close to thee (daily walking close to thee)
Let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be
Oh, let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be

How Do You Fall In Love Lyrics

How do you fall in love
When do you say “I do”
When is the perfect time
To spend the rest of your life
Now seasons may come and go
Sometimes it rains and snows
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know.

You never know just where it will find you
‘Cause it can come on you so fast
Or seems like it takes forever
When you want it so bad
But don’t ever take it for granted
‘Cause it’s more than sowing some seeds
It takes sun and water
So give it what it needs.

That’s how you fall in love
That’s when you say “I do”
That’s when you know its time
To spend the rest of your life
Now seasons may come and go
Sometimes it rains and snows
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know…

Mountain Music Lyrics

Song by Alabama

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway

Drift away like Tom Sawyer
Ride a raft with ol’ Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle
Daze dreamin’ again

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway

Swim across the river
Just to prove that I’m a man
Spend the day bein’ lazy
Just bein’ nature’s friend

Climb a long tall hick’ry
Bend it over, skinnin’ cats
Playin’ baseball with chert rocks
Usin’ sawmill slabs for bats

Play some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart
Play somethin’ with lots of feelin’
‘Cause that’s where music has to start

Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I’ll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway, hey, hey!

Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play (yee-haw!)

Every Little Honky Tonk Bar Lyrics

Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
Ice creates the water that’s no longer runnin’ under it
Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart
Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes
The jukebox plays Hank, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”
Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Friday night, it’s a given
I’ll be L-I-V-N, livin’
We’ll dance on the bar ’til we’re sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, it’s a given
I’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin’
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Neon lights flashing bright ’til you’re almost hypnotized
Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by every guy
Comin’ and goin’, always rollin’ with the flow
Bartender, pour our drinks; Código, do a shot
You think you’re tall and bulletproof until somebody says you’re not
You step outside thinkin’ you’re gonna show ’em you are
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Friday night, it’s a given
We’ll be L-I-V-N, livin’
We’ll dance on the bar ’til we’re sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, it’s a given
We’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin’
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Yeah, that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
