A son and simple man.
My youngest son grew up a fairly angry and some what mischievous kinda kid....I dedicates this song to him when he turned 12....today he has custody of his first born daughter, she's 4 now...he's 24....he's a single dad with a "deadbeat" mom....with a cute girl that he's genuinely in love, again on his second child any day now...and he just shared with me not too long ago that I could never imagine how much this song that I've been singing to him and playing loudly ever sense he was twelve has s

And dont forget son there is someone up above and he wont forget you're there!
Great song, would have been better if it hadn't been altered. Listen closely to Ronnie's voice at the beginning compared to the end of the song.

Great band, but what is it doing on my Adam lambert radio?
One of the best bands ever. Rdc.
The pinnacle of Southern Rock, unless you can count CCR as being a Southern rock band.

LS at their finest. Ride on ghost riders in the sky!
This song says so much, and it applies to everyone, what more could anyone want for themselves or their children? Be satisfied, be honest, look at what you are doing and understand all the implications of your actions, be satisfied and live a happy life. Be happy with yourself and your life.
Best Southern Rock Band ever.
