Jamey Johnson’s 51st birthday was a star-studded affair at the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday, July 14. The country legend celebrated another trip around the sun with a special Opry lineup of guests. They were Opry member Bill Anderson (who inducted him into the Grand Ole Opry in 2022), ERNEST, Randy Houser, Lee Brice, Tracy Lawrence, Ruby Leigh, Lily Meola, Andy Whatley & Co. and others.
The concert also served as part of the Opry’s ongoing 'Summer of the Century' celebration honoring the legendary venue’s 100th anniversary.
During the show, Johnson teamed up with Lawrence, 58, for a memorable duet on the latter’s '90s chart-topper “Time Marches On,” delivering lyrics that tell the story of an ordinary family aging over the decades, offering vivid descriptions of how life changes over time. The song also name-checks songs that made an impact over the years like Hank Williams’ “Kaw-Liga” and Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone.”
“Time Marches On” has seen a resurgence in popularity after a remix of the song went viral on TikTok in recent years, thanks to the lyric: “Smokes a lot of dope.” The clip below, uploaded by one user, highlights the line in a humorous way, drawing widespread attention on the platform.

♬ original sound - Tracy LawrenceReleased on March 18, 1996, from Lawrence’s album of the same name, “Time Marches On” became the biggest and longest-running hit of his career, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, where it stayed for a straight three weeks.
“You really want to know why I cut it? Because of the shock factor,” Lawrence admitted in an interview with Whiskey Riff, of the reason he released the tune, written by Bobby Braddock. “Because the radio had never played anything that says ‘Smokes a lot of dope’ in it, and I knew that it would either be a massive record just because of the shock factor of it, or it would die a violent death. There was no in-between. And it came out of the box with a bang.”
