Lyrics September - Track Commentary - Daughtry

A lot of people always ask me
What my favorite song is I've ever been written and uhm
You know that's, that's really a hard question to answer but, uhm
If I had to pick three, this is definitely one of those three
It fully encompasses my childhood, uhm
Growing up in a small town
You know, swimming in the ditch when it rained because that was our pool
You know, just kind of conjured up a lot of memories of
Me and my brother growing up and uhm

I remember the first time I got the rough mix back from Howard Benson
Who produced our albums
Uh, first and, first through third album
My dad heard the song
I didn't tell him what it was about, I just, I just played it and he started crying
And it's never left my memory, uhm
Every time we play that song, it's the first thing that I think about
It makes it, uh, uhm, very near and dear to me
