Tennessee Vols legend Peyton Manning was in Nashville this week to serve as a co-host for the 58th annual CMA awards show.

Manning co-hosted the show on Wednesday evening alongside singer/American Idol host Luke Bryan and country music singer Lainey Wilson.

While in Nashville, Manning managed to find a band, a stage, and a microphone at Losers. And he proceeded to belt out David Allan Coe's classic song "You Never Even Called Me By My Name"

I don't want to judge Peyton on his singing chops, because I'm definitely not any better, but that wasn't the best version that you'll hear of that song.

But it's certainly one of the most fun versions. Imagine being in the bar and Peyton freaking Manning walks on stage to sing one of the most popular karaoke songs (in the south at least) of all time. And it all happened in the state of Tennessee. It doesn't get more Peyton Manning than that.
