“Remember When” – Alan Jackson’s Well-Loved Song Live at Grand Ole Opry

By

On August 5, 2024

In Alan Jackson, Country Music, Headline

This live performance of Alan Jackson is probably one of his best. Alan sang his well-loved country hit song “Remember When” which is probably one the best songs he has ever written. Released in 2003 as the second and final single from his compilation album, Greatest Hits Volume II, it spent two weeks at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in February 2004 and peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard called this single “the most poignant, well written country song to hit the format in a long time.”

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.

Remember When Lyrics

Alan Jackson

Remember when I was young and so were you
And time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other’s hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
Was the music we danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we’d never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookin’ back, it’s just a steppin’ stone
To where we are, where we’ve been
Said we’d do it all again
Remember when

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won’t be sad, we’ll be glad
For all the life we’ve had
And we’ll remember when Remember when

The Older I Get Lyrics

Alan Jackson

The older I get
The more I think
You only get a minute,

better live while you’re in it
‘Cause it’s gone in a blink
And the older I get
The truer it is
It’s the people you love, not the money and stuff
That makes you rich

And if they found a fountain of youth
I wouldn’t drink a drop and that’s the truth
Funny how it feels I’m just getting to my best years yet

The older I get
The fewer friends I have
But you don’t need a lot when the ones that you got
Have always got your back
And the older I get
The better I am
At knowing when to give
And when to just not give a damn

And if they found a fountain of youth
I wouldn’t drink a drop and that’s the truth
Funny how it feels I’m just getting to my best years yet
The older I get

And I don’t mind all the lines
From all the times I’ve laughed and cried
Souvenirs and little signs of the life I’ve lived

The older I get
The longer I pray
I don’t know why, I guess that I’ve
Got more to say
And the older I get
The more thankful I feel
For the life I’ve had and all the life I’m living still

I’d Love You All Over Again Lyrics

Has it been ten years
Since we said I do
I’ve always heard marriage made one seem like two
But you’re looking better than you did back then
You still make this old heart give in

And if I had it to do all over
I’d do it all over again
If tomorrow I found one more chance to begin
I’d love you all over again

The preacher man said till death do us part
That seemed like forever to a young man’s heart
Now the days seem much shorter
The longer we love
And the memories just keep adding up

If tomorrow I found one more chance to begin
I’d love you all over again

Country Boy Lyrics

Alan Jackson

Excuse me ma’am, I saw you walkin’
I turned around, I’m not a stalker
Where you going? Maybe I can help you
My tank is full, I’d be obliged to take you

‘Cause I’m a country boy, I’ve got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
‘Cause I’m a country boy

You sure look good, sittin’ in my right seat
Buckle up, and I’ll take you through the five speeds
Wind it up, or I can slow it way down
In the woods or right uptown
I’m a country boy, I’ve got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
‘Cause I’m a country boy

Big 35’s whinin’ on the asphalt
Grabbin’ mud, and slingin’ up some red dirt
‘Cause I’m a country boy

My muffler’s loud, dual thrush tubes
I crank the music, the tone gets real good
Let me know when we’re gettin’ close
You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road

‘Cause I’m a country boy, I’ve got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you want to go
‘Cause I’m a country boy

Bucket seats, soft as baby’s new butt
Lockin’ hubs, that’ll take you through a deep rut

‘Cause I’m a country boy, I’ve got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down winding roads
I can get you where you need to go
‘Cause I’m a country boy

Yeah Yeah I’m a country boy, I’ve got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you want to go
‘Cause I’m a country boy
Yeah, I’m a country boy,
Oh, I’m just a country boy,
A nice little country boy.

The Blues Man Lyrics

Hank Williams Jr.

I’m just a singer, a natural-born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
I’m not a walk-behinder, I’m a new note finder
But my name’s a reminder of a blues man that’s already gone

So I started drinkin’, took things that messed up my thinkin’
I was sure sinkin’, when you came along
I was alone in the hot lights, not too much left in sight
But she changed all that one night, when she sang me this song

Hey baby, I love you
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, you ain’t got to prove to me you’re some kind of macho man
You’ve wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights
Let me shine some love light down on the blues man

I got so sick from speedin’, all the stuff they said I wasn’t needin’
If I was to keep pleasin’, all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads, I got sued over no-shows
But she came and took all that old load, down off this blues man

Hey baby, I love you too
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin’ band
I’m 30 years old now, nights would be cold now
If you hadn’t stuck it out with this blues man

I’m 30 years old now, nights sure would be cold now
If you hadn’t hung around with this blues man

In Alan Jackson, Country Music, George Strait

Murder on Music Row Lyrics

George Strait

Nobody saw him running from sixteenth avenue.
They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used.
But someone killed country music, cut out its heart and soul.
They got away with murder down on music row.

The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
Slowly killed tradition and for that someone should hang
(oh, you tell them Alan).
They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show
That murder was committed down on music row.

For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play,
But drums and rock ‘n roll guitars are mixed up in your face.
Old Hank wouldn’t have a chance on today’s radio
Since they committed murder down on music row.

They thought no one would miss it, once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them old drinking and cheating songs (I’ll still buy’em)
Well there ain’t no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
Murder’s been committed down on music row.

Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry and you can’t hear fiddles play
With drums and rock ‘n roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why, the Hag, he wouldn’t have a chance on today’s radio
Since they committed murder down on music row
Why, they even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
There’s been an awful murder down on music row.

Chattahoochee Lyrics

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught

Down by the river on a Friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking ’bout cars and dreaming ’bout women
Never had a plan just a livin’ for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin’ and a little ’bout love

Well we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy
I was willing but she wasn’t ready
So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone
Dropped her off early but I didn’t go home

Down by the river on a Friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking ’bout cars and dreaming ’bout women
Never had a plan just a livin’ for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin’ and a little ’bout love

Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin’ and a little ’bout love.

A lot about livin’ and a little ’bout love.

You’ll Always Be My Baby (Written for Daughters’ Weddings)

Alan Jackson

First steps, first words
Seems like yesterday you were just a girl
Skinned knees, climbing trees
All those memories so close to me

Now you’re a woman on your own
All in love and nearly gone

But you’ll always be my baby
No matter where you are
You’ll always be my baby
Forever in my heart16, first car
21 and there’s a broken heart
High heels, strong will
In my eyes I see a young child still

But you’re a woman on your own
All in love and nearly gone

But you’ll always be my baby
No matter where you are
You’ll always be my baby
Forever in my heart

So I say a prayer every day
That God will guide you as you find your way
You know that I’m near
Anytime my love is always here

‘Cause you’ll always be my baby
No matter where you are
You’ll always be my baby
Forever in my heart…

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.

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

About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. Alan Grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family. 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.

Amarillo by Morning Lyrics

George Strait

Amarillo by mornin’
Up from San Antone
Everything that I got
Is just what I’ve got on

When that Sun is high
In that Texas sky
I’ll be buckin’ at the county fair
Amarillo by mornin’
Amarillo I’ll be there

They took my saddle in Houston
Broke my leg in Santa Fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend
Somewhere along the way

But I’ll be lookin’ for eight
When they pull that gate
And I hope that
Judge ain’t blind
Amarillo by mornin’

Amarillo’s on my mind

Amarillo by mornin’
Up from San Antone
Everything that I got
Is just what I’ve got on

I ain’t got a dime
But what I’ve got is mine
I ain’t rich
But Lord, I’m free

Amarillo by mornin’
Amarillo’s where I’ll be
Amarillo by mornin’
Amarillo’s where I’ll be
