Welcome to The List,
Welcome to The List, today we take a look at the “Story Behind The Song” and today it’s Old Dominion’s hit ‘I Was On A Boat That Day’ Old Dominion’s Brad Tursi fills us in. “This song actually the title is one that we’ve had for many years, we had the title the same time we were right and break up with him and got brought up and put down over the years. And finally, when we went to Asheville to make this next batch of songs, we told the title to Shane and Josh and they loved it. So we ended up finally writing it and it’s just about, you know, a little heartbreak song about a guy who’s not really heartbroken in this particular moment cuz he’s on a boat and he’s having fun and I’ll deal with the rest tomorrow.” Sounds like a good plan some days!!

Posting in part – ‘’My little brother Dwayne… the time has come. The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny.’’ A little creepy…but will Hobbs return? Fast and the Furious 10 is set for a 2023 release date.
