Kid Rock closed his performance at the Turning Point USA All-American Halftime Show with the song, to which he added an additional verse from the original version. The verse read: "There's a book that's sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off / There's a man that died for all our sins hanging from the cross / You can give your life to Jesus and he'll give you a second chance / 'Til you can't, 'til you can’t."
A studio version of the song was released at midnight, with Kid Rock saying, "A big thank you to Cody Johnson and the songwriters Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers for giving me there blessing to record and release it, It really is one of the best written songs I have heard in a long time and NOTHING is more powerful than a great song in my book!"
Fans were seen singing along with Kid Rock's performance at his bar in Nashville, Tennessee.
