  The song playing on the radio as Tony and Paulie travel through the Fredericksburg, Virginia area (according to the station identification for WWUZ heard in this scene) was "Rock On", by David Essex.
  
• 
  The instrumental piece played in the bar during Tony and Paulie's stop in Virginia is an instrumental version of "I Just Wanna Stop" by Gino Vannelli.
  
• 
  The piano piece playing in the hotel canteen, when Tony tells Paulie off, is the theme for the movie Terms of Endearment, composed by Michael Gore.
  
• 
  The song Junior sings with the other patients is "Take Me Home, Country Roads", a song made famous in 1971 by John Denver.
  
• 
  The instrumental piece played over the end credits is "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)" by the Benny Goodman Orchestra.
  
• 
  “Remember When,” written solely by Jackson, was released in October of 2003 as the second and final single from his compilation album, Greatest Hits Volume II. More than a decade after his musical debut, Jackson had already made a name for himself with his traditional honky-tonk style and had recently made headlines with his song “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning),” a tribute to lives lost in 9/11.
  
• 
  “Remember When” topped the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for two weeks and peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, a remarkable rank for a traditional country song. 
  
• 
  Jackson wrote the heartfelt song as a tribute to his wife, Denise, who he met in 1976 at a Dairy Queen in his hometown of Newman, Georgia. Twenty-four years after their marriage in 1979, the song serves as a reminder of the love they shared that day. 
  
• 
  Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk / Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard / We lived and learned, life threw curves / There was joy, there was hurt / Remember when
  
• 
  The lyrics go on to describe how love changes and shifts and that not all of the changes are pretty. However, Jackson’s lyrics mark important milestones that brought the couple back together: the births of their three daughters, Mattie, Ali, and Dani in 1990, 1993, and 1997. 
  
• 
  Remember when the sound of little feet / Was the music we danced to week to week / Brought back the love, we found trust / Vowed we’d never give it up / Remember when
  
• 
  The song concludes by issuing a reminder of how much is still to come for the couple and the knowledge that they’ll even look back on the hard moments as something to love and cherish.
  
• 
  Remember when we said when we turned gray / When the children grow up and move away / We won’t be sad, we’ll be glad / For all the life we’ve had / And we’ll remember when
  
• 
  “Remember When” features a gentle mandolin melody and acoustic guitar to create a warm and melancholy sound. Jackson’s vocals overlay perfectly, full of emotion and heart. The second verse welcomes light percussion, swelling strings, and the signature country sound of steel guitar. The feeling created by the instruments matches the overall message of the song: nothing flashy or loud, just the notion of pure love and devotion.

Jackson is a member of Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017 and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2018.
