Lucas Hoge legger ikke skjul på at han er en stor Garth Brooks fan med sin singel «Power Of Garth».
Låta er fra Hoges Dirty South album som kom ut i juli 2017 og begynner nå å få spilles oftere og oftere på countrystasjonene i USA.
I «Power Of Garth» ser Hoge tilbake til barndommen der han minnes sin fars arbeidsmoral og kassettbåndene med Garth Brooks. I låta nevner han flere av Brooks store hits for å beskrive sin barndom.
«Power Of Garth» tekst:
My old man worked his fingers to the bone
But always made time for us when he got home
He’d grab mom and me a glass of tea and those old cassettes
That memory still as sweet as it was back then
Every time I hear «The Thunder Rolls»
I’m right back to ten years old
Those songs are like a soundtrack to my life
I was too young to understand
Why mama cried when she heard the dance
Those melodies will forever be wrapped around my heart
And that’s the power of Garth
I was stuck in my truck, all backed up on the interstate
And «Much Too Young» took me back to yesterday
So I cranked it up, I sang along
I closed my eyes and it took me home
Every time I hear «The Thunder Rolls»
I’m right back to ten years old
Those songs are like a soundtrack to my life
I was too young to understand
Why mama cried when she heard the dance
Those melodies will forever be wrapped around my heart
And that’s the power of Garth
A lot of songs have come and gone
And faded in the dust
But no one’s ever come along
And hit me like he does
Every time I hear «The Thunder Rolls»
I’m right back to ten years old
Those songs are like a soundtrack to my life
I was too young to understand
Why mama cried when she heard the dance
Those melodies will forever be wrapped around my heart
And that’s the power of Garth
Yeah, that’s the power of Garth
