Chester was my Father in law, Michelle is my wife (his daughter) and we're the family in California. We about died when we heard this version of the song. Thank you for this ❤
My boyfriend turned me on to this song. We just happened to be truckin at the time. He sang every word and told me that's what my son would be singing before long.
From one Peterbilt trucker to another- that's even better than driving the Big Road in The Sky.. made me cry. smile. comforted. Bless you and yours. BTW I saw you guys in Boulder CO about winter 2005.. I bobtailed my white 379 out front.. a changing/crying event... I hope I can see you again.. but I nolonger drive.. but I do have a Suzuki Samurai : ) Loves, Gina C.

Yeah I know it's a 2 year old comment but... fk off. Nobody rich involved fk head. That story is about a great man that worked his ass off for everything he had. Your "funny" comment is bi£ch shit. You have no idea. Chester was a great man, Jan is a great woman. You? You are ignorant.
They are such a great band Patterson tells it true and Cooley plays it truer Saw them in a Dublin - didn't play this but, he'll, too much good material They were just plain fantastic - love DBT
First time I heard Patterson tell the whole story I cried like a baby! What a story teller he is! Lucky enough to live in Athens when they were getting started! Cooley and Isbell love yall too!
I live in San Francisco. I'm definitely Liberal. This song is so beautiful. I love he how express his feelings over the song. Over course we we all know that is not how the song ends.
