Yeah, it's pretty obvious. I hate to admit it (because I don't listen to "country" on the radio, I prefer metal, alt-country, or classic-country) but I love this song. For a long time I would hear it on the radio out in the shop that the mechanics listen to, and I thought it sounded just like Shenandoah, and kept thinking "How in the hell have I never heard this song before?" Then I see the video and it's this kid who doesn't look old enough to buy cigarettes (not that I'm some old timer, I'm only 26).
It's a great tune though. This is just a common viewpoint that most folks (especially us Southerners) have known to be true for a long time. The Lee Greenwood song "Thirty Years Ago" is another good one and is very similar to this.
I've always said that whenever I do have kids, they'll grow up the way I did...in the summer time we were locked out of our house, we weren't allowed to sit around and play Nintendo all day or goof off on the computer...if we got thirsty we drank from the hose. We played and got dirty like kids should do. My kids also won't be watching any Pokemon or Spongebob or any weird crap like that lol. I'll have the Loony Toons, The Flintstones, and G.I. Joe on DVD if they want to watch cartoons. Anyways, I'll wrap this up, starting to sound like an old fuddy duddy.
