00:00Being an opening act is a real challenge because the audience is coming in to see the headliner.
00:07Keep your hands together for our finalists.
00:10I relate so much to them.
00:13I don't feel any different to when I was playing in the clubs.
00:17Put your hands together for Keith Urban!
00:21When I get out on stage, it's like my first show.
00:27Ten weeks ago, on the road.
00:32Welcome everybody.
00:33Taylor Sheridan, Blake Shelton, and Keith Urban.
00:37See you out the front in a second.
00:39Gave 12 working musicians the chance of a lifetime.
00:43We're all up against some very, very stiff competition.
00:46An opening slot on Keith Urban's latest multi-city tour.
00:50Dallas, Texas, how we feeling, y'all?
00:53We going.
00:54Life on the road is tough.
00:57What's at stake?
00:58I love you guys so much.
00:59Everything.
01:00Every artist gave it all they had.
01:03Time to get off my ass and go for it.
01:05Do it with confidence or don't do it.
01:07Okay.
01:08Every week.
01:09Here we go!
01:10As the bus rode on, there were those who were left behind.
01:14I'm sorry, Vane.
01:15Olivia.
01:16John.
01:17Forrest.
01:18Rihanna.
01:19Jenny.
01:20Cody, unfortunately.
01:21Billy Joe.
01:22Face on my audience, folks.
01:24Brittany.
01:25We love you, Brittany.
01:27Love you, Brittany.
01:28Tonight, in Nashville, at the legendary Ryman Auditorium.
01:33Ryman Auditorium.
01:34It's the grand finale.
01:36How we feeling?
01:37The top three musicians will take the stage one last time.
01:46Hey, let's go play the Ryman.
01:48Cassidy.
01:49The Ryman's going to be the biggest show that I've ever played in my life.
01:53Channing.
01:54I'm here to win this thing.
01:55I'm swinging my biggest stick.
01:57And Adam.
01:59And Adam.
02:00I've worked a long time to be ready for a moment like this.
02:02Tonight, a dream comes true for me.
02:06This is it!
02:07This is the finale!
02:08They will battle for the grand prize of $250,000.
02:12A record deal and a slot at Stagecoach.
02:15This is 100% audience-based decision.
02:18I'm dying to see what's going to happen.
02:20Who will be America's next country music star?
02:50This is the finale!
02:54Seven generations from a dirt road corn crop.
02:57Boots ain't ever seen easy street.
03:00Where a skeeter gets slapped out as fast as a star drops.
03:04Roots run deep in this family tree.
03:07Bust your ass still wanna make a killing.
03:13It's a lifestyle, it ain't living.
05:18I'm not a fool.
05:19I know that Cassidy and Adam are as good as me or better than me, all subjective to the crowd's opinion.
05:27And so I'm swinging my biggest stick.
05:29Let's go kick ass on the butter church of country music.
05:34Let's go play the Ryman.
05:35Hey, let's go play the Ryman.
05:36Come on.
05:37I personally believe that you need an undeniable moment in your performance at the Ryman to solidify yourself as the winner.
06:01It's going to take something pretty special to feel like this person has arrived.
06:07I'm looking forward to it.
06:08I think that, you know, the plan for me is to just turn the heat up.
06:11This is it.
06:19This is the Ryman Auditorium finale.
06:21Ten weeks later at the Ryman, here we are.
06:23I know it, man.
06:24And I'm so happy that you're bringing back your favorite originals.
06:28Yeah.
06:28Because all of you have done songs and I'm going, oh my God, I hope they get another chance to do it again.
06:33I honestly feel like the confidence level in the three of you, though.
06:36I think you knew you were going to make it here.
06:38You have to think that.
06:39Otherwise, you know, what are you doing if you don't think you're good enough to make it here?
06:43Absolutely.
06:44That's good.
06:44I know that it's got to be a little bit of a relief for Keith to know that he doesn't have to make the decision tonight.
06:51This is 100% audience-based decision.
06:54He has no say in it this time, and I'm dying to see what's going to happen.
07:00Hey, hey, hey, Nashville, Tennessee, how's it going?
07:03My name is Gretchen Wilson.
07:08Thank you so much for being with us at the finale of The Road.
07:15Make sure that you say hello to Keith Urban.
07:21Also, one more time, if you wouldn't mind, for Blake Shelton.
07:27The amazing, the one and only, the incomparable Taylor Sheridan.
07:33Well, we're going to get this thing kicked off with all three of our finalists.
07:38Are you guys ready to party?
07:41I said, are you ready to party, Nashville, Tennessee?
07:45Here we go.
07:50Hey, everybody.
07:56Robin Auditorium, how are we feeling?
07:58We're going to need your help on this first one, all right?
08:04Everybody get your singing voices on.
08:06Come on, baby.
08:14I'm bored in the Nazareth.
08:18What's been about that last day?
08:21I just need a place where I can lay my hand.
08:27Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
08:33He just screamed and shook my hand
08:38He knows all he said
08:40Take a load off, Fanny
08:43Take a load for free
08:47Take a load off, Fanny
08:50And put the load right on me
09:03I packed up my bag
09:06I went looking for a place to hide
09:09I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side
09:16I said, hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown
09:22She said, I gotta call my friend
09:26Both my friends here, they can stick around here at the right
09:28Come on
09:29Take a load off, Fanny
09:32Take a load off, Fanny
09:38And put the load right on me
09:46Go down, Miss Moses
09:54There's nothing you can say
09:57It's just old Luke and Luke's waiting on the judgment day
10:04Well, look, my friend
10:07What about young Annalie
10:10He said to me, if every son wants to stay around
10:16Keep me company
10:17Take a load off, Fanny
10:20Take a load for free
10:23Take a load off, Fanny
10:28Take a load off, Fanny
10:30Take a load off, Fanny
10:32Put the load off, Fanny
10:33Put the load right on me
10:37Adam's performance
10:44Adam's performance skills are on point no matter what he's singing
10:48Channing Wilson is the real deal.
10:51Like, I love him
10:53I'm a fan
10:53Cassidy, she's a superstar
10:55I mean, that's a one in a million voice
10:58All right
11:01I'm at the Ryman Auditorium
11:05I'm playing in the echoes and the footsteps
11:07Of some of the greatest country songwriters that's ever lived
11:11So, nerves, I got them
11:13I poured in, I poured in
11:32I can honestly say at this point in my life
11:35That I feel like this is the biggest opportunity I've ever had
11:38You know, I've been out here playing music all these years
11:44Without being what they call discovered
11:47I was literally the fool on a stool in the corner of a bar playing my songs
11:51Competing with football games on TV
11:53There's been times throughout my career that I thought the golden brick road
11:58That you hoped for might not happen
12:01I've been successful and then turned around
12:04And a lot of people have leapfrogged me
12:06And as scary as it was to do this show
12:10And take a chance like this
12:11If this thing blows me up and I really find my audience out there
12:15It's gonna be amazing
12:16Making me look younger already
12:19And I feel like right now
12:21That I have an opportunity to possibly capture
12:24Something that I didn't even think was possible for a long time
12:27Well, let's keep this thing going
12:29Put your hands together for Mr. Channing Wilson
12:32Hello
12:41Yep
12:41When I think of the Ryman Auditorium, I think of Hank Williams
12:45The Ryman was part of Hank's story as a guitar ever was, you know
12:49I was thumbing for my company
12:51And so my cover song is about a musician
12:54And he gets picked up on the side of the road by Hank Williams' ghost
12:57Is that fine on that ending like that?
12:59I'll try and follow you a little tighter
13:01A long hard ride
13:04Okay
13:04Is that cool?
13:05Yep
13:05Yeah, cool
13:06The people who are really country music fans
13:08They're gonna know that song
13:09And it sets up my original song to a team
13:13My goal is to win the thing
13:16So I'm gonna stomp that stage and see what happens
13:18Nashville, Tennessee
13:20It's so good to be here at the Ryman Auditorium
13:23I'm so excited to play here
13:25This is where country music history lives
13:27There's ghosts in these walls
13:29And I'm here to play for them tonight
13:30This is an old David Allen Cole song called The Ride
13:33I was thumbing for Montgomery
13:40Had my guitar on my back
13:43When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
13:48I love this song
13:49He was dressed like 1950
13:52Half drunk in hollow eyes
13:55Said as a mom walked to Nashville
13:58Would you like a ride, son?
14:01I said down in the front
14:03I turned on the radio
14:06Them sad old songs coming out
14:09His speakers were solid country gold
14:12Then I noticed a stranger was Ghost White
14:15Till when he asked me for a light
14:18I knew there was something strange
14:21About this ride
14:23As I stepped out of his Cadillac
14:27I said, mister, many things
14:29He said, you ain't got to call me mister, mister
14:33The whole world calls me Hank
14:36Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play the same?
14:41Have you paid your dues?
14:43Can you moan the blues or bend them guitar strings?
14:48Or can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
14:53If you're big star bound, let me warn you
14:56It's a long, hard ride
14:58That's right, thank you
15:05That's good, man
15:09That's a good choice for him
15:10I love Channing because that voice is so immediately recognizable
15:15Once again, y'all, my name is Channing Wilson
15:17I'm from a little bitty town in northwest Georgia
15:19And that stomp, beer drinking, hell-raising music
15:22Is so perfect at the Ryman
15:24This song right here is a song that I wrote
15:27Down on the Tennessee River one night
15:29Over a quarter moonshine
15:31This song right here is called
15:34Lord, I feel the blues coming off
15:36I heard that train whistle mornin'
15:42This mornin'
15:44I got that old time feelin' in my barn
15:51And when a whippoorwill's cry
15:58Lord, I, I feel the blues comin' on
16:05Yeah, Lord, I, I feel the blues comin' on
16:14Well, my pride's takin'
16:19And my heart's takin'
16:21And my mind's already gone
16:23Yeah, like I'm walkin' a line
16:27Out of an old Hank Williams song
16:30Lord, I, I feel the blues comin' on
16:36I heard that train whistle
16:41Thank y'all so much
16:54I appreciate it
16:54Don't forget to vote for me out there, alright?
17:03That was awesome
17:04What a crowd
17:05What a venue
17:07If I didn't do enough to win tonight
17:09It's not because of lack of trying
17:11I understand I'm playing for Keith Urban's audience
17:14Love that guy
17:15Man, a little Boss Kyle Willian in there
17:16I'm definitely a harder country than most people
17:20I don't shy away from it
17:22I really get in their face with it
17:23I'm proud of who I am
17:24And I hope I did enough
17:26I love that he did that original song
17:28But it's the first time I think
17:29That his cover went ever better than his original
17:31Oh, yeah
17:32But I mean, from a vocal standpoint
17:34No, no
17:35He's not there at the park every night
17:37It's no wonder he's here in the finale
17:38I don't think anybody has been better consistently
17:42Than Channing when it comes to choosing the right song
17:46He gives you the exact right amount
17:48Of who he is and what he does when he performs
17:51And the blues coming on is the peak of what he does
17:56That I've heard so far
17:57But we still have Cassidy and Adam
18:00I really don't know who's going to win this thing
18:03Check, check, one, two
18:04Hey, hey, hey
18:05Check, check, one, two
18:06I'm nervous as all hell
18:07I cannot believe that I'm fixing to step on stage
18:10I want to win so bad
18:11I'm just hoping I don't blow it
18:13Knowing that I'm this close
18:26To changing my life forever
18:29Is daunting
18:30Growing up an Army brat
18:32Prepared me for being a musician on the road
18:35I'm used to slumming it
18:37And I mean driving 10 hours by myself
18:40To play a dive bar for $200
18:41Now after coming this far
18:44I want to win so bad
18:45And I also have to do this
18:47To repay the people
18:48That have believed in me this whole time
18:50I've learned so much
18:53And I've grown as an artist
18:55You're going to be great
18:56And really having mentors
18:58That are there to champion you
18:59Makes all the difference in the world
19:01If you feel it, man
19:02Just tuck that mic
19:03I'll do your thing
19:03Cassidy Daniels
19:05She's just an amazing singer
19:07She's got such an amazing range
19:10So good
19:11Thank you
19:12She's young
19:13So that combination
19:14Sometimes sees her
19:15Get dangerously close to over singing
19:17I think if she stays grounded tonight
19:20She'll kill you
19:21I'm a little excited, guys
19:23My plan for the Ryman
19:25Is to sing the songs
19:26That I know that I can sing
19:28The out of
19:29Have you ever played the Ryman before?
19:31No!
19:31I've played outside of the Ryman before
19:33I've never played the actual one
19:35For my original song
19:36I'm doing Crazy Love again
19:37Because I know that
19:38That's the song for me
19:39I sang this song
19:41On the first show
19:42In Fort Worth
19:43Cassidy
19:44And that night
19:45I ended up being
19:46In the top three
19:47All right
19:48Back to Crazy on You
19:49Hold on
19:50I need a water and a breath
19:51A prayer
19:52As my cover
19:53I'm doing Crazy on You
19:55By heart
19:56Because Ann Wilson's
19:57Been my number one influence forever
19:59Woo!
20:01Rock and roll
20:02I know it's a good song
20:03When I'm white-headed
20:04After singing it
20:05It might be a risk
20:06Doing this song
20:07Because Nashville
20:09Is all about country music
20:11I cannot believe
20:12That you're getting ready
20:12To do this song
20:14Out there
20:14On the finale night
20:16You have giant
20:17Cantaloupe-sized
20:19Pajones
20:19It shows how brave you are
20:21And how good you are
20:22Thank you
20:22Amazing
20:23You know
20:24You can be one of two ways
20:26You can be unsure of yourself
20:27Or you can plant your feet
20:29And say this is who I am
20:30Like it or not
20:31I chose the latter
20:32And it's felt really good
20:33Leave them with that
20:34Thing that you do
20:37That nobody else can do
20:38I think that Nashville
20:40Only gives you a handful
20:41Of chances
20:42And I feel like
20:43I'm on my last chance now
20:45I'm scared as hell
20:46But I know that
20:48In my heart of hearts
20:49I think I could win this
20:50Put your hands together
20:52For Cassidy Daniels
20:54How y'all feeling out there
21:02Rhyming
21:02Y'all this is my very very first time
21:05Playing here at the Mother Church
21:06I just want y'all to know
21:07Y'all are watching one of my dreams
21:08Come through
21:09Before your very eyes tonight
21:10Thank you for being here
21:11I know Nashville's a country music town
21:16But I hope you don't mind
21:18If this girl sings a little bit
21:19A rock and roll
21:20Is that all right?
21:20Yeah
21:21We still have time
21:30And we might still get by
21:32Every time I think about it
21:34I won't cry
21:36With bombs and the devil
21:38And the kids keep coming
21:40No way to break you
21:41There isn't no time to me
21:43And I tell myself
21:49That I'm doing all right
21:51There's nothing left to do tonight
21:54Go crazy on you
21:57Crazy on you
22:01Let me go crazy crazy on you
22:06My love is the evening breeze
22:10Touching your skin
22:11And the devil's sweet
22:12And the devil's sweet
22:12Singing leaves in the wind
22:15And the westman calls
22:17After you in the night
22:18Kisses your ear in the early light
22:23Ooh
22:25And you don't need to wonder
22:31You're doing fine
22:33My love
22:34The pleasure's mine
22:37I can praise you
22:39Crazy on you
22:39Crazy on you
22:44Let me go crazy crazy on you
22:47Oh
22:49Thank y'all so much
22:59Thank you to this band
23:03Y'all have been amazing
23:04Well the next song
23:08I'm gonna do for y'all
23:08Is a song I wrote
23:09Called Crazy Love
23:10I hope y'all don't mind
23:11A double shot of crazy
23:12Tonight here
23:13In the mother church
23:13Y'all
23:14I'm gonna kiss you
23:19Like you never did
23:20Kiss
23:21Make you forget
23:22That she ever existed
23:24Even if you don't wanna fall
23:29Get you singing baby
23:32Ooh
23:33And you're out and at the moon
23:40And I'll show you
23:46Praise, praise, praise, praise
23:50The Lord
23:52And I'll hear you
23:55Till you're doing
23:57Lord
23:58Now baby
24:02If you're all in
24:04And you're giving up
24:05To God
24:06I'll show you
24:08Praise, praise, praise
24:09The Lord
24:12And I'll show you
24:20Thank y'all so much.
24:25My name is Cassidy Daniels.
24:27Don't forget to vote for me.
24:28Thank you, Ryman.
24:31You're welcome.
24:36She just needs a little more power when she sings.
24:38That's all.
24:40She's a little lost.
24:42I'm just overwhelmed with emotions.
24:45That was one of my favorite shows ever.
24:47I'm hoping that the audience just saw every bit of my heart and soul
24:49out there tonight.
24:50I worry that her first song choice wasn't as dynamic as...
24:54That's exactly what I was worried about, too.
24:56Because that one was going to show the pipes.
24:58She didn't need the first one to show the pipes.
25:02Pretty surreal to be in the finale.
25:04This is definitely the biggest performance that I've ever done in my life.
25:07Could be the most life-changing.
25:09I've worked a long time to be ready for a moment like this.
25:11Tonight, a dream comes true for me.
25:19It's the grand finale.
25:26How are we feeling?
25:29My name is Adam Sanders.
25:30Thank you guys so much for being here tonight.
25:33I'm just a kid with a dream that grew up in North Central Florida and a double-eyed my whole
25:37life, and my goal was to always make it on stages like this.
25:40So, thank you guys for making dreams come true.
25:46Being on the road, it's definitely been a crazy, interesting journey for me.
25:51Dallas, Texas, what is up?
25:53I think it already has changed my life in a lot of ways, but winning it would be the ultimate goal here.
26:00Selfishly, I want to do it for the little boy in me that started this journey.
26:07All he knew was the love of music.
26:09He didn't know how hard it was going to be.
26:13More than anyone, I want to succeed for him.
26:21I've worked really hard to get here.
26:23My mic will already be on the stand.
26:25I'm proud that I didn't give up when the times were tough.
26:29The only thing I feel like I'm missing from your voice ever is just maybe a little bit more soul.
26:34My name is Adam Sanders.
26:35We'll see you next time.
26:37We love you.
26:37To win tonight, we've got to get an emotional reaction from Adam.
26:41That's the thing that's missing because he's always working to that kind of high energy level.
26:47Oh, come on.
26:48Great job.
26:49He's done a really great job of picking his covers, knowing where he's playing, how to play the room.
26:54That guy can read a crowd, I think, better than anybody, but I want to feel he's hot.
27:00All right, let's play some good old country music.
27:04Most of my performance have been energy, energy, energy.
27:08So tonight, my cover is That Ain't No Way to Go by Brooks and Dunn.
27:14I want to show that I can do more than just run around on stage, and it really shows off my softer side.
27:19That's going to be the one that says, you know, this guy can do it all.
27:23Oh, it's the finale at the Ryman Auditorium tonight.
27:26We need everybody to get your hands like this.
27:29The original song I'm singing is the song I actually sing in Tulsa.
27:32I looked at what had the greatest response with the Keith Urban crowd, and it was all summer long.
27:37I think I have chose the best two songs for this Ryman performance.
27:41I've never had a moment that says, I have arrived.
27:47This finale could be that moment.
27:51Winning the road would do that for me.
27:53Win, lose, or draw tonight.
27:54There's two promises I can make you.
27:57One, I'm going to give you everything I got on the stage for the next few minutes.
28:02And number two, my mission is to bring back an era of country music that changed my life.
28:08So if we got any 90s country music fans in the crowd tonight, we need your help.
28:15It's decolated from the mirror this morning.
28:19Said goodbye.
28:20Good choice.
28:21You left without one.
28:22Like a thief in the night.
28:26You ran away with my heart.
28:31I can't believe my eyes would be a bad dream.
28:37We always said we had a good night.
28:41We never once let on.
28:44We were falling apart.
28:48Ryman, let me hear you.
28:48There ain't no way to go.
28:51There ain't no way to go.
28:55Girl, it just ain't right.
28:59Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye?
29:06There ain't no way to go.
29:11There ain't no way to go.
29:13There ain't no way to go.
29:15Was it all a lie?
29:20After all this time, there ain't no way to go.
29:25There ain't no way to go.
29:32Thank you so much.
29:37Thank y'all so much.
29:40Great choice, man.

34:47Oh, God.
34:50Yeah, really making me want a drink right now.
34:54I feel great about my performance,
34:56but the competition is really, really, really stiff.
34:59I mean, Channing and Adam are such great songwriters.
35:04And I'm just riddled with anxiety,
35:07waiting to see who's going to win this thing.
35:10All right.
35:12There they are.
35:13Unbelievable.
35:15Look at them.
35:18Hi.
35:19Oh, my.
35:20Oh, my.
35:21Oh, everybody.
35:22Good to see you again.
35:23Crazy, right?
35:23It's amazing to see you all back here.
35:25You are all so talented.
35:27Yeah, it's been awesome for me to see all of y'all's journey.
35:31It's just been a hell of a ride, you know what I mean?
35:33And I'm super excited and happy for every single one of y'all.
35:38Everybody's got recognition, you know?
35:40More people know of you now than ever did.
35:42And they know your originals.
35:43Yes.
35:44That's the best part of the show, for sure.
35:45You should be super proud of.
35:46I've been here for 20-plus years, writing with some of the greatest songwriters that
35:50there ever was here in Nashville, Tennessee.
35:52And you guys brought some originals that made the hair on my arms stand up.
35:56Really, really talented group of songwriters, that is no easy feat.
36:01How do you three feel about tonight?
36:03Oh, it was awesome, man.
36:05God, what an image, man.
36:06Just, yeah.
36:07It's everything you've ever seen, you know?
36:09How about you, Cassidy?
36:10I played the Ryman tonight.
36:11Yeah, you did, huh?
36:12Yeah, you did.
36:13I felt so comfortable up here, and it's just, in my mind, set a precedent for hopefully
36:18what I'm gonna be doing for the rest of my life.
36:20Nice.
36:21Yeah, man.
36:22You grow up, you know, your whole life dreaming of playing the Ryman, and to play it for the
36:26first time, and have your family in the crowd, you know, seeing my dad, and just the pride
36:31on his face, and it was just at the pinnacle, you know?
36:34So it's just a grateful, grateful feeling for me.
36:41This is all I've ever thought about, all I've ever wanted to do since day one.
36:46The performance is done.
36:47There's nothing you can change or do, and, you know, things could not go the way that
36:51you hope, and so it's definitely very nerve-wracking.
36:55Let's get to it.
36:58Of the three of you, the person with the third amount of votes tonight...
37:17was Cassidy.
37:18How you doing?
37:19How you doing?
37:20How you doing?
37:21How you doing?
37:22How you doing?
37:23How you doing?
37:25How you doing?
37:26How you doing?
37:27How to do what you doing?
37:28I'm soика I'm so
37:37OFw.
37:42It's crazy, right?
37:46Crazy, buddy.
37:47Yeah.
37:48I love you.
37:51God, I didn't expect that.
37:55Cassie is one of the best singers I've ever heard in my life.
37:57Hands down.
37:58It is.
37:58Hands down.
37:59For real.
37:59Yeah.
38:04I should have done what I knew what to do.
38:06Which is what?
38:07Not do two rock songs at the Ryman.
38:09Got it.
38:09And that's OK.
38:10It's OK for you to go back and go,
38:11should have, maybe could have.
38:13But one thing that I think you have to go home with
38:16is what that audience gave you while you were up here.
38:20Completely absorbed with what you bring to the stage.
38:24The first time I heard you, I think I looked at somebody,
38:26and I said, she scares the crap out of me.
38:29She scared the crap out of us.
38:31Oh, man.
38:33Trust me.
38:33Yeah, of course.
38:34Yeah, you guys had your work cut out for you.
38:36For sure.
38:37Yeah, absolutely.
38:38Being your authentic selves is what you both did.
38:41And that was fantastic tonight.
38:44I feel like my performance was the best representation of what I
38:49stand for and what I believe in.
38:51There you go.
38:52Yeah.
38:53How about you, Adam?
38:54You know, in this business, we're told, no, not right now.
38:59You know, you just, you grind and you grind and you grind.
39:03And so it's just a grateful, grateful feeling for me.
39:06So, last two standing.
39:11I'm going to remind you that the winner is going to get a quarter of a million dollars,
39:17a slot on stagecoach, and a record deal.
39:20But there's only one.
39:27And my audience voted.
39:32And they chose...
39:39Adam.
39:40Oh, wow.
39:52I've worked really hard to get here, and a lot of answered prayers.
40:18We did it.
40:32You lean on your faith when there's hard days in this business, and Channing and I had
40:37a talk on the bus, and we said, man, it's the guys and girls that don't give up on their
40:43dreams is the ones that will eventually make it, and I've never wavered.
40:48This is the only thing I've ever wanted to do in my life, and I look back on all that
40:54I've been through, and I'm just grateful.
40:57That's all I can say.
40:58We love you.
40:59The winner of the road!
41:01Season one!
41:02Adam Sandler!
41:03Congratulations!
41:04I'm proud of you!
41:05Congratulations!
41:06I'm proud of you!
41:07Congratulations.
41:08You doing okay?
41:09Oh yeah, I'm good.
41:10You were amazing.
41:11You're on the road, baby!
41:12Let's visit, baby!
41:13Let's visit!
41:14Let's visit!
41:15Fantastic.
41:16I think the little boy in me that started this dream at such a young age would be proud
41:26right now.
41:27You know, you think you know your dreams, but when it becomes a reality, it's bigger and
41:32better than you could ever imagine.
41:39If I do nothing else in my career, I've made it.
41:43It's a lifestyle.
41:44It ain't livin'.
41:45From the red, white and blue, flying high at the farm, to the boom, crock and stud on
41:50the wall in the barn, where the magnolias bloom, there's a lamp on the lawn, where your
41:55buddy and your boat both got the name Johnny.
41:59In God we trust, Detroit we rust, redneck letter testifying.
42:05From the bone and the cut, till the day that I'm dust, I'mma stay country, or die trying.
42:29By doing all my dreams, that you're gonna have to see.
42:36Cip to me, where the quick days, the yellow, look, the white, the black, the blue, the
42:39ooh, the blue, the brown, the green, the black.
42:40And, of course, the blue and the blue, the green, the blue.
42:44beneficiary of the blue, the blue, the blue, the red, blue, the blue.
42:45The yellow, the blue.
42:47But the yellow, the yellow, the red.
42:48And too many years to see, that the yellow, the red.
