The song didn’t achieve much success upon its initial release, but it found new life in 2002 when it was remixed by Dutch musician Tom Holkenborg, better known as Junkie XL. The remix was used in a Nike commercial featuring soccer players, which helped propel the song to the top of the charts in several countries. The song has since become a classic and is still enjoyed by many people today.

“THE HELICOPTER RIDE WAS ONLY MEANT TO FILL TIME BEFORE THE SHOW. BY NIGHTFALL, THE STAGE WAS SILENT — AND EDDIE MONTGOMERY HAD LOST THE OTHER HALF OF HIS NAME. The concert was already scheduled. September 8, 2017. Flying W Airport & Resort in Medford, New Jersey. Montgomery Gentry were supposed to take the stage there that evening. Troy Gentry arrived before the audience did. The venue was offering helicopter rides, the kind of small pre-show activity that should have become nothing more than a casual backstage memory. Troy climbed into the two-seat aircraft for a short ride. Eddie Montgomery was not with him. Only minutes after takeoff, something went wrong. The helicopter suffered engine trouble. The pilot reported problems and attempted to bring it back down near the airport. People on the ground could see the aircraft struggling before it crashed around 1 p.m. The pilot died at the scene. Troy was pulled from the wreckage and taken to the hospital, but he did not survive. That night, there was no Montgomery Gentry concert. There was only an empty stage in New Jersey, a crowd that never heard the show they had come for, and one singer left carrying a duo name that suddenly became painful to say. Troy Gentry was 50 years old. He and Eddie had built their career on songs about working people, small towns, pride, trouble, and stubborn survival. But his final chapter did not happen in a barroom or on a tour bus. It came during a short ride before a show — the kind of ordinary moment no one imagines will become the end until it already has.”
